Ryan Crowley will have his work cut out for him this week, having to carry most of the pinching load, after Fremantle Hard Man Hayden Ballantyne was ruled out for a week for, well, who could actually say what it was for. The point is he’s out and Brent Harvey isn’t going to pinch himself (at least not until after the game when he’s dobbing to the tribunal). Harvey is expected to get a hostile reception from the home crowd, who will be fired up for the historic anniversary edition of Bogan Easter (it’s two weeks since AC/DC broke up), after his infamous claim that he had been pinched 300 times by Crowley. Fans are being encouraged to bring their own clickers to keep count and the club installing a giant inflatable abacus above the scoreboard to keep track of the pinches. WIth Ballantyne out the club have enforced the One Hayden out, One Hayden In rule so Hayden Crozier will come into the team. Matt Taberner has been dropped because it was Tommy Sheridan’s turn in the rotation.
