Yellowtail Chardy - overpriced at $8 a bottle.

Say good night Joel.

The Melbourne of old.

Wagner - can't mark, can't handball.

Off to Cazaly. I think we're undefeated there.

Hope the boys sing the song in the plane.

Led by AVB and includes Spargo, Hannan and Jones who had the wrong jumper on,

We're a better team with Jones on the bench.

7 disposals to Clarry. Following on from where he left off last week.

Geez, we are p15s weak. Don't deserve to win.

We're a man short when Jones is on the ground.

'A good thrashing' reminds me of an episode from Ripping Yarns (Tom Brown's Schooldays). Can only hope your Cognac is not the only thing that gets a thrashing - St Kilda FC being the other.

Question: does it get as dewy at night in the Alice as per Darwin?

All the above. Born Sept '51 and Gabelich stumbled past me in the '64 GF. I was the blonde headed bloke sitting in M54 and was wearing a red and blue shirt with flags on it that me mum had made.

We might be twins.

We lost that Toigs game in the 2nd quarter. They outscored us by 24 points (0.1 to 4.1) and the final margin was 27 points. Contrast that with the Dogs losses: 52 to the Pies, 39 to the Saints, 52 to the Blues, 41 to the Toigs and 24 to the Loins. They're still to play the Cats and Eagles.

Gold Coast area Mostly sunny. Areas of dust haze during the morning and afternoon. Winds northwesterly 15 to 20 km/h turning westerly 25 to 30 km/h in the morning then increasing to 30 to 45 km/h in the middle of the day. 45km/h is a '2 club wind'.

It was Preuss's first game (round 4 last year) and he booted 2.0. Followed it up against the Saints the next week with 2.0. Preuss then didn't play until later in the season, not booting another goal. I much prefer Preuss to TMac. The latter gives us nothing in the ruck. I thought Preuss did OK, halving many of the contests with the second best ruckman in the league. Brayden for Max, the only change IMO.

HB appears reluctant to lay a tackle. I suspect tackle pressure is what the FD love about Spargo. Sparrow improving each week. A keeper.

Make a tough match-up for the Dogs. Rest the big men forward and Fritta goes to the wing. Won't happen. Bont and Daniel are the keys to the Dogs. Hold one or both and you're halfway to a win.

Am I right saying he is equally adapt on either side?

Doing to be difficult for the likes of Hannan, Hunt, Rivers and Bennell to get a spot. IMO Tomlinson may be lucky to hold his spot altho' the Dogs are a tall side.

Two legs of my 6 same game multi in.

Talk of TMac moving to the back line is simply pointless. It will never happen. We've given up, in effect, three first round draft picks to get Lever and May. We have Tomlinson who could play as a tall backman. The FD like Omac. Last point: Tmac hasn't played on the back line for, at least, 4 years.

No chance of Spargo being dropped. AVB similarly unlikely.
