The homelessness in the USA is at crisis point. The gap between rich and poor is becoming more extreme. It's true capitalism where someone who has an idea like Facebook and then lists it public on an exchange believe that they deserve the eighty billion they have. The money is there alright notwithstanding the amount of GDP spent on defence. Sadly the desire to fix it isn't. I posit most of us don't really know how lucky we are in this country.

Max is simply a much better rman. His recent performance have been outstanding. I don't think they will tinker with something working so well.

Fully agree. I think we have already served notice that we are coming and a second fave for a flag. Losing will relegate us back to third or fourth and in the mix with a few others. Carlton fans arguing that a win for them will make them the real deal. A win for us will help cement second and relegate those pesky blues to fight with a number of others to play finals. Hopefully the players respond to the pressure of this game result and are on from the first bounce. I think Oliver back in will bring a real sense of energy and confidence.

Where will our goals come from? Last encounter entailed strong backlines and low scores from both teams. I hope Milk is switched on today and our smalls continue on their merry way. Perhaps Trac to go into the fwd mix again. Grundy worries me as a fwd. Many including myself have touted his ability to bring the ball to ground. But a forward s job is to kick goals. I guess he's last man standing at this point in time if we are all honest. I hope he proves me wrong and kicks four.

Do share.

I was enamored with the woman from Promises who sang " Baby it's you." Plus Kate Bush.

I wonder how fit Clarry will be. I hope he's cherry ripe and racks up his usual forty so Trac can play forward.

Ditto in Wollongong. Us in another close one but oh the joy on ending Carlton's winning streak.

Cats missed out on their tapioca pudding last night.

Was that Nichols bounce?

Bad comments from Bt.

Damn the Pies playing some good footy now.

Revolving prison doors.

Gotta say neither side looks great.

Who was it for Pies that just limped off?

Another goal and it's panic stations.

Worse defence ever . Three cats standing within 20 m from goal by themselves.

It's a cruel ball.

Have we done a night granny poll? Arvo for me.

The scoop says Buddy expected to play against us in a farewell game. Let's make it one he wants to forget.

Good point. Now I don't know who to barrack for.

I just want to hear the alarms sounded if flag faves lose three on the trot.

So if Oliver comes back and he and Viney are in top top form, does Trac do a Dusty and play fwd in all the finals?

Good post Dd. With Viney playing so well and Trac back in ,I wouldn't be surprised if come finals Trac could spend a lot of time forward. Grundy worries me too. I hope he clicks up forward.

I'm glad you didn't say basement.
