In Malaysia.. China time so very good  for having a sports bonanza

32 degrees and I can hear the waves slowly crashing on the Straits of Malacca. Time for the first G and T of the evening

At least I'm getting some use from my Kayo subscription

Thx DJ.  No finals for us, howling winds, pissing down off and on all day and the filth / GWS circus both winning through.

Kayo is good though ?

Are we ANY chance of getting Bolton now??

I personally don’t think so Rusty. It was reported a few days ago WCE have made a major play to lure him back home. Just what they need, more damaging small forwards.

The Tigers are a notch above the Lions with ball use & movement once the ball gets outside.  Pressure around the pill is also a tad more intense.

They structure up around the ball quicker and more effectively also.

If there is no clear chance of winning possession they bunt, wack, slap or kick the ball off the ground and keep it alive but always attempting to move it forward to gain ground and put opponent under further pressure.

Will take a major effort to beat in the GF.  They will be there me thinks.

No.. without  DeGoey I just don't see them kicking enough goals.

They were so much better last year with Cox as their focal point.

Can Pendlebury and Sidebottom play blinders again this year as well.

They can if you don't put (or have) decent run with options on them as Scott decided to do for the first half last night.

Speaking of which, what the hec was Scott thinking with a starting set up that had a wet rookie 9 gamer in Narkle starting in the middle against such a solid mid field opponent?  Crazy $hiiit!

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
