The less we play, the higher we go. I like it.

Fair chance there'll be fisticuffs given the aggressive, 'take no prisoners' approach they've both displayed in the past.

Yze? First game or have I missed something?

a la the ‘Bombres’ on their run through one year.

Weid is a four letter word the mods should add to the banned list. 2015 draft Weid pick 9, McKay pick 10, Curnow pick 12 BTW Schach attack pick 2.

Four disposals and two set shots, neither overly difficult, for no goals. Prefer others (to use racing parlance).

I heard Max mention that he thought he had a stalker.

I was at KPark on the infamous 186 day. Fev and Cook were playing in the early game v the Cats. Probably 20 spectators. Score was something like 65 - 0 at quarter time (Cats way). You could hear Fev yelling to Cook to get out of the fifty.

I think you need a balanced mix. IMO Casey did the MFC no favour when they recruited Fevola. We’d taken James Cook at pick 10. Cook was probably never going to make it but Fevola’s selfish ‘get out of my territory’ approach to playing did not help Cook. Similarly Jefferson appears to be progressing better in the absence of BBB and Schache.

Clarrie had 41 (16&25) against them last year. He'll remember that.

Draper had a pretty good night. Booted 3.0. He will need 'minding' in regard to his ability to kick goals.

Grammar police here. You've been warned - use of a double negative. Don't do it again.

Ouch (re Sparrow). I didn't see any of the game (I'm OS). But I did listen to the first 3/4 and his name was rarely called. I did have high hopes for him. My mate taught him and knows the family well. Pete reckons he's a ripping kid and showed a lot of talent from the get go. Hoping it comes together soon, lest he be overtaken by ....?

My bad. You're correct. Their line was 'look that up in your Funk and Wagnall'.

Onya Joeboy. Great to give the Funk and Wagnall* some exercise. *it's a dictionary! **the late, great Graeme Kennedy would occasionally reference it

'burn the place down' - Casey Fields? Your house?

You reckon we're his bunny?

Alarm is set for game time - 5:10 am. Hard to believe it's predicted to be 34 degrees. Sorry, there I am braggin' again. That''s Sorrento 🇮🇹 time and temp. BTW didn't see Max and Goodie at the bar of the Conti. Didn't see the Conti.

My Funk and Wagnall says it's 'a fellow countryman'. Yeah, that fits. He is an Aussie, isn't he?

I’m a couple of days behind in my reading (busy laying in sunny Sorrento 🇮🇹). Could someone please tell me, should we win, both best and likely ladder position post the weekend?

You can't 'delist' players that are contracted. You can not play them but they're still a listed player and their salary is still on your books. Furthermore, both Smith and possibly Brayshaw could be listed players.

I'm pretty certain he's out of contract. Can't see him getting an extension and very doubt he'd ask for one.

Joeboy thumbing through his Thesaurus looking for synonyms for ‘deplorable’.

Geez, youse are all a bunch of naysayers.

Never in doubt.
