Thanks Sandra

Whilst I agree with the Noise Affirmation Theory I also subscribe to the Bulldogs Are the Darlings of the AFL Theory led by their AFL Poster Boy Bontempelli. The Bulldogs are probably the only team that could debunk the Noise Affirmation Theory.

In devastating news for the Eagles ...

I have West Coast's stats from this year. 208 frees to 188 for WCE from 11 Home Games at Optus Stadium. They won the free kick count 7 of 11 times. Twice had 10 or more frees than the away side. There are no stats for free kicks not paid. No surprises that one of the free kick counts that they lost at home this year was against ... surprise surprise ... the Bulldogs.

Next week too?

Hately has been managing a similar problem for most of the season but will now rest, while Pedlar has a badly sprained ankle from Saturday's SANFL Showdown victory over Port Adelaide. - Michael Whiting The Adelaide Injury list doesn't include Reilly O'Brien as reported by the Crows yesterday.

Josh Kelly isn't going anywhere.

Hey I'm playing 3D chess here and am already formulating our plan for the 2022 Marsh Community Series. A loss in one or both would be catastrophic. They'll probably send us to Broome or Cape York. Damn the AFL.

Such a modern day Melbourne thing to happen.

Definitely not. If all Top 4 teams win this week and then we lose to Cats and Port beats Dogs we play Port in Port.

You'll know when you get the mailout.
