Premiership Rings?
The more I think about it, I'm not a fan. Maybe chip in a bit more to spruce up the medals but it's what they represent that gives them their value. And it's not like the same players get them every year. We all know how hard they are to come by. Plus players don't do it too tough with their end of season holiday and their salaries these days. Hard to fathom fifty years ago your plumber would be fixing your dunny on a Friday night and then playing at the MCG the next. But back to rings yea, na for me.

PREGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton
The five day break will be interesting. It may be negated somewhat by the bye we had. In some ways this game is as big as last week's. Win this and I feel a little smug. A follow up from Petty would be nice with a couple of goals added on. Hopefully Anb and JV can be at their best to combine with an inform Oliver and Max. Can't wait to watch young Windsor again. And some Kozzie brilliance as well. Thanks to all dlanders who got to the game last week and made a lot of noise.

Welcome to Demonland: Caleb Windsor
Aside from his acceleration, he has great upper body strength as well. But it's his ability to make quick decisions and quick execution of plays that excite me. That hanball over the top in the middle without breaking stride to I think it was Tracca who kicked to Frita who goaled... was as good as it gets. No it wasn't a feat of strength or great marking or kicking, it was just a handball. But one made in a second and one where Tracca too didn't have to break stride. How many of those looping handballs do we see get intercepted? Not from this young man.

Welcome to Demonland: Caleb Windsor
Was Robbie taller? I noticed that when Caleb flexed up after his goal he looked quite solid. His speed is up their with anyone else about. Let's hope like RF he owns that wing for the next decade and has a continuing stellar career. Be tough for Hunter to get it back. That quick chip kick to Fritta for our first goal was very Flower like. I think I read somewhere once that RF weighed 69 kg in his early career. Could that be right. I know he was whippet like but I remember him as being quite tall and thought he would have weighed about 80. He must of filled out later on Yes I too have some memories of seeing him dash past me while I was a tacker on the fence.

Welcome to Demonland: Caleb Windsor
Enjoyed the commentary quip after Caleb's tackle and free and goal... " He's caught in a Windsor knot."

Two things in the last few minutes of the game. Tracca really burnt Kozzie kicking to Fritta on the boundary. But then we wouldn't have had goal of the year. And Cameron marks 25 out from goal with two mins on the clock uses his full 30 seconds as if they were in front and then shanks it. Bravo.

CASEY: Rd 06 vs Williamstown
I think you might be right. I know it started with L. I was thinking loyds but loys does sound familiar. I think there was a depot in Inkerman st never the train bridge . I remember pineapple and passionfruit and thinking how upmarket they were. All delivered to your door. I begged my mom to get some but she said it was a waste of money. Pffft.

Agreed. I wish he had more room up forward to showcase his skills. One on one for his size he's difficult to stop. Roves the ball like a small crumber, flies high and turns on a sixpence with uncanny goal sense. And consistently kicks around fifty or more a year. He seemed to travel a fair way up the ground v cats and looked good.

That review was a highlight for me. I hope it took some wind out of cats players and supporters. They were so stoked over that goal and it would have been a damn fine one. Funny, I don't usually rejoice in the misfortunes of others. Who am I kidding I love seeing bad stuff happen to Geelong . It completes me.

I don't think I've even seen him do it once. He clearly doesn't watch Melbourne games. What a load of absolute cobblers. I rate Fritta as extremely underated. And that's fine. Let him go under the radar. He's not a large build but the way he times his " lean intos" and the power from them make him seem around the 100 keg mark. In fact he does the opposite to trying to get frees. There was a rubbish non decision when he was taken out of a contest against Geelong and Fritta said Zippo.
