I like Grimes, and have no problems with him staying in the team, but it's clear there's deficiencies the coaches have given him to work on. He just needs to double his daily banana intake to get the equivalent of one eye fillet steak. Forgot about Dal Santo, wasn't impressed with him last week when he returned from injury. Didn't watch their match last night but was he any good?

The incomprehensible firing of Kapalos coincided with their complete nose-dive in ratings and share value. It was also less than a year after their moron CEO passed on the AFL rights. Definitely no coincidence, there. But I digress. Can they please get the AFL rights back and spare us from Seven's monopoly? Ten are second-to-none in sports coverage. Big Bash is sensational in the Summer.

You could play a potato on Waite and he'll still kick nothing. Genuine spud. I'd be more concerned about Higgins, actually. He's shown some great form lately and is a genuine goal sneak if he's let loose out of the midfield. Not sure Crossy is a good fit for him, he's not that quick. Perhaps Viney? I don't rate Swallow or Boomer, but I imagine Bernie will go to one of them. Maybe Vince can spend the week practicing his pinching techniques?

Just realised how much I miss him on Ten News. What a farce that's become with Quarterbrain as the lead anchor, alongside some no-name deer-in-headlights cohort.

Out of Gawn, Garland and Howe, the 2 players we need to keep couldn't be more obvious. The way Howe's manager is trying play us is a disgrace and the club aren't having a bar of it. Gawn won't be going anywhere.

Yep, and you're kidding yourself if you don't think Essendon are underperforming to make up for the 2 years of draft sanctions. They desperately want a pick in the top 4 (probably Parish).

I'd love Michie to find time to get into form, just like Toumpas did. He's playing for his career so at least let him start in 2 or 3 games before putting a line through his name.

Somehow I don't see Roos rushing to reunite Yarran and Garlett.

Not even invited to the draft combine. Would've thought he's not on any other teams' radars if they aren't testing him. He'll slip through to the rookie draft.

Shocking news for Ollie, hope he gets back in before the season ends. Such a gun!

You decide to burn a teammate? Don't miss the goal. Definitely won't go over well with the coaches or teammates.

Saw that and even I was ropeable (and I can't stand the Giants). Who was the player he burnt? Would love to be a fly on the wall when they come face to face.

Geez the Dogs have recruited to absolute perfection in the last 4 drafts. The only question mark would have to be Boyd but plenty of time for that to play out. Gee whiz, Wines and Stringer.. two players it's so bittersweet to watch.

Well, bad kicking is bad football!

Kicked at least 2 lovely goals today in a 30 point Stingrays win. Going about his business quietly, Lovett Jr.

Apologies, were two separate issues. One need only look at their injury list to see why they're not performing on-field. And one doesn't need to investigate far to see they have a toxic culture bubbling beneath the surface which is seeing players leaving en masse every off-season.

Might head down tomorrow, only 35 minutes down the road. Hopefully a few of the boys from today's win get down too. What's the best place to park? How much is entry? (sorry for the questions that have probably been answered ad nauseum)

In fairness, we've been rubbish for a long time. I understand the instant reaction is "well the other team were off their game," but it's clearly been noted at the club itself based on some comments from the skip.

I reckon our boys deserve some credit here. They made a deliberate attempt to unsettle Pendles all day long. The coaching dept. clearly identified him as a key pillar to the Pies success and, cleverly, instructed our players to throw him off his game. Tagged by Vince, riled up physically by Jones, tackled by all and sundry.

Beams out for the season as well. There are genuine problems at Brisbane off-field. A priority pick isn't going to help them.

Gee whiz, a chance to break two long-standing records next week. C'mon Dees!

"Gee, 4 points is better than 2..."

Gee whiz, McCartney's hiring might just go down as the best recruitment we've made in a decade. One need only look at the Bulldogs now to see his expertise with development of youth.

Maybe he was just unleashing some pent up anger about what happened to his dad! BTW, I hope Dawesy's folks were watching today with the Demon faithful. Didn't like that story last week about them sitting near some abusive Demons fans last week and leaving at 3QT.

Jack can be as unsociable as he likes. Don't care about giving away free kicks if it completely throws the opposition off their game.
