‘Twas a joke. I’m riding the wave. It’s good to be the king.

Friends with Premiership are no longer able to lord over my previous non-Premiership status over me but once the new season starts I would like to think I’ll be a little more humble just in case this was an aberration year. Too soon?

Spoiler Alert …. 10/10

Time to reverse the narrative and ditch the negativity. Only positive vibrations from now on. How good would Back 2 Back at the G be?

28% from 2005 to 2015 because players from 2016-2020 haven't had enough time to establish themselves. Of the 110 players taken in the top 10 in that time period, 31 have worn All-Australian blazers – a 28 per cent strike rate. And of those 31, a combined 10 have come from either the 2005 or 2012 drafts. Most years you have closer to a 20 per cent chance of landing an All-Australian calibre player in the top 10, but 2005 and 2012 both had strike rates of 50 per cent. 2005 Marc Murphy (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) Dale Thomas (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) Xavier Ellis Josh Kennedy (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) Scott Pendlebury (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) Beau Dowler Paddy Ryder (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) Jarrad Oakleigh-Nicholls Mitch Clark Marcus Drum 5/10 2006 Bryce Gibbs Scott Gumbleton Lachlan Hansen Matthew Leuenberger Travis Boak (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) Mitch Thorp Joel Selwood (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) Ben Reid (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) David Armitage Nathan Brown 3/10 2007 Matthew Kreuzer Trent Cotchin (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) Chris Masten Cale Morton Jarrad Grant David Myers Rhys Palmer Lachie Henderson Ben McEvoy Patrick Dangerfield (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) 2/10 2008 Jack Watts Nic Naitanui (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) Stephen Hill Hamish Hartlett Michael Hurley (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) Chris Yarran Daniel Rich (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) Ty Vickery Jack Ziebell Phil Davis 3/10 2009 Tom Scully Jack Trengove Dustin Martin (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) Anthony Morabito Ben Cunnington Gary Rohan Brad Sheppard (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) John Butcher Andrew Moore Jake Melksham 2/10 2010 David Swallow Harley Bennell Sam Day Andrew Gaff (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) Jared Polec Reece Conca Josh Caddy Dyson Heppell (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) Dion Prestia Daniel Gorringe 2/10 2011 Jon Patton Stephen Coniglio Dom Tyson Will Hoskin-Elliott Matt Buntine Chad Wingard (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) Nick Haynes (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) Billy Longer Adam Tomlinson Liam Sumner 2/10 2012 Lachie Whitfield (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) Jonathan O’Rourke Lachie Plowman Jimmy Toumpas Jake Stringer (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) Jack Macrae (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) Ollie Wines (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) Sam Mayes Nick Vlastuin Joe Daniher (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) 5/10 2013 Tom Boyd Josh Kelly (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) Jack Billings Marcus Bontempelli (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) Kade Kolodjashnij Matthew Scharenberg James Aish Luke McDonald Christian Salem Nathan Freeman 2/10 2014 Paddy McCartin Christian Petracca (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) Angus Brayshaw Jarrod Pickett Jordan De Goey Caleb Marchbank Paul Ahern Peter Wright Darcy Moore (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) Nakia Cockatoo 2/10 2015 Jacob Weitering Josh Schache Callum Mills Clayton Oliver (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) Darcy Parish (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) Aaron Francis Jacob Hopper Callum Ah Chee Sam Weideman Harry McKay (ALL-AUSTRALIAN) 3/10

I was able to visit our spiritual home today.

Pity the airport is more than 15 km from where I live.

The Triple M commentary on YouTube is working for me on a mac with all browsers. Stupid question but is the Sound turned up? Try turning it off and on again.

I love it. Love the fact that something I created will be imprinted permanently on someone for all eternity.

I hope I get a cut out of the use of our likeness.
