There's as much chance of seeing this guy next time you walk through the Botanical Gardens as there is of the Dees featuring in September.

I think we'll have to kick at least forty behinds this week to get close to the Suns. Until we start converting some of our out on the full kicks into points and our banana attempts from 15 metres out start making the distance I can't see it happening.

Surprised the AFL haven't tried to create a rivalry game between the two expansion teams yet, a la GC and it's Frankenstein cousin Brisbane. How about the Plastic Fantastic?

The track watcher reports are always appreciated. I might’ve ridden down on the bike myself for a look if I’d known about the session today. It’s just a bit demoralising to read about how we’re shooting the lights out during the week only for the Keystone Cops to turn up on the weekend.

For all anyone know maybe Goody isn't even looking to coach us beyond his current deal. Doesn't his new wife and her kids live in Sydney? He could get an assistants gig up there and take over from Dean Cox if things go pear shaped at the swans.

I thought that that father / son prospects were also eligible to be drafted by their northern academy teams as a way to make up for the fact that these expansion clubs were too new to have any of their own father / sons.

Why is he being interviewed at Whitten Oval?

The AFL are doing us all a favour.

Sounds like it could be better than the thin sliver of land left over from the Mt Scopus purchase.

I remember a commentator saying something similar about the dutch national team in the 2010 World Cup final against Spain. Also @binman on the post game Collingwood podcast, to the effect of us having hammers and mallets whilst Collingwood have scalpels.

Whilst the modern game is made for pianists we have all the piano lifters.

As an emergency why is he in Melbourne?

I think Shane McAdam is on a 3 year deal. One more to go.

Jamie Clarrie Oliver's 15 minute meals.

Or pineapples.

For what it’s worth I was told yesterday that Clarry is living at Trac’s place at the moment.

I’d like it to happen just to see Kane Cornes head explode.

Does Goody have to sign for 7 years as part of the deal?

Like everyone else on here I'm bemoaning the decision making and skill errors our most senior guys make at crucial times in a game. Perhaps it was just me but I thought that the pre-game stuff with ND seemed just a little more poignant than usual.

I seem to remember Max giving Trac a spray after his injury in the game last year, or am I mistaken?

Our last home game for a month. Let's hope the game isn't as dreich as the weather.

To be fair both sides have turned over a lot of players and are now completely different basket cases to the ones they were three years ago.

The construction work at the ground in Ballarat must be to put a roof on it I guess.

North making plans for an open top bus parade along Errol St with their $2.5 mill cheque.

Jon Ralph would make They Boy Who Cried Wolf blush.
