[Rab D Nesbitt 7,341]

Brisbane flexing their muscles by crushing 18th, 17th & 15th on the ladder so far. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

It's their home game this year.

I think the difference is Carlton have underlying quality in their top 8-10, but fall away horribly from 16. They would have been a finals side last year with even a borderline competent coach.

Collingwood just have a very ordinary list.

The commentary team on Fox handing out the March Premiership to the Lions after dismantling last years wooden spooners.

Call me old fashion but I’m still preferring the one we won in September last year.

Oh Lord that was good. Even allowing that it was Geelong ... ahhhhhhhhhhh satisfaction. Now I hope the Pies win every game until QB.

Well,  it will, to paraphrase one of their loudmouthed, multichinned ex presidents, be their grand final.

I stand corrected. In that case, I hope the Pies lose every game for the rest of the year in exactly the same fashion as tonight.

Yep, faux tough guys. Then once September comes, they cack their dacks. Lost 5/6 finals for all their chest beating. Now there’s a team that drinks their own bath water.

What are the odds of Noble going around as coach next year? Sure he doesn’t have much to work with, but he is such a vanilla and boring coach.

Never mind, I already have my answer.

Casey...not the club...the weather station.

Meanwhile…………….an army of 4014 rocked up to see the franchises play today. Money well spent by the AFL there.

Does anyone outside of nth Melbourne really care or give a thought about them?

To be fair, I don’t care about or give a thought to 17 of the clubs in the AFL neither.

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,389]

Lions are clear second favourite to win the flag so I guess a 108 pt win by them isn’t ideal for the other contenders such as us. 

We must finish top 2 this year in order to avoid a GABBA prelim.

While I agree they are a strong chance, please let’s make absolutely 0 judgements on them based on smashing North Melbourne. I’ll be impressed when I see them win against a good side. 
They play Geelong in Geelong next week. Let’s revisit this topic then shall we?

I actually think about a number of clubs ... my anger and dislike of them occupies large amounts of my thinking time. Is that normal? Especially the filth ... and the following (in no particular order) -  Jee-long, Richmond, Essendon (although less these days cos they're pretty hopeless), Footscray.

The dogs beat north by more last year and didn't even make top four. It's a long season, and I agree the Lions are my predicted GF opponent, but there's a lot of water to go under the bridge yet.

Just getting paranoid about Brisbane getting a ton of percentage over us, even if it’s early days.
