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.

Not yet. Might wait until it gets into the 30s.

I am already. In my Whats App group with my old school mates who are predominantly Carlton I already got the how long are we going to have to put up with this. I told them that technically whilst we are the reigning premiers but I'll go easy on them and ease up come Round 1. They all know the pain I've been through so they're letting me have my moment. Privately they're shitting themselves that they are already old me.
