Jumping on Bomberblitz might cheer us up a bit. 

How'd Harmesy go today?

Make no mistake, Norf are stacked with at least six up and coming A graders of which a couple will be superstars. I watch them most weeks with my Norf mate and barrack along with him. I'd be shocked if they do not play finals consistently from 2027 onward.

And the good news is this . . .

They'll win a premiership before Essenscum, Pork Barrel Park, Sh&^mond and Meth Coke do.

Yes - i know, but did we do enough to try and secure Gold Coasts Pick 4? Feels reminiscent of Max Holmes circa 2020 all over again. Were we caught sleeping at the wheel. 

Peak Demonland. 

Fretting over whether we did enough to try to get a higher pick than we had based on the performance of a player in a pre-season scratch match (against a likely bottom 6 with a true injury crisis at that).

Absolutely. They’ll come down on him like a tonne of bricks. 

Same incident in Preliminary Finals week. Free to play. 

Ironically I thought Powell pepper had the bloke thrown into him. Certainly to an extent.

Lines him right up.

This one is more of a football incident in my view 

Showdown-lite actually went for 6 periods.

Chose to bump, head hit so he is gone.

It’s a bad incident, but the bloke spun him in a tackle.  No way he gets pinged for that. How is he supposed to know Rioli will spin him around.

Having said that where the heck is PP running?

He is playing at the elite level where split second decisions are what you are paid to make. He had time to tuck his shoulder in at full pace before hitting the player. Was he blindly running full pace at the pack not without care who he hit? 

There is no chance he will get off. 

Head high these days the assumption is guilt (except for Maynard).
