yeah nah.

I'm intrigued as to whether they go with the Hawthorn blueprint to lose to us by 2 goals or the North Melbourne blueprint to lose by 8 goals and whether we attempt to combat this by doing exactly what we've done for the last 10 weeks.

With Geelong still being in their alternative universe premiership window they'd be mad not to offer Mundy a 3 year deal at the end of the season.

Geez. If we can get up next week Freo could fall as low as 8th.

Collingwood look the goods today. Let's hope the heavens open and the last quarter turns into a really heavy slog.

Over to you Collingwood.......

Hawks making Brisbane look very koschitzke.

Damn. Just when I was enjoying Hawthorn beating Brisbane they show Jeff Kennet in the crowd.

Is that Hugo Weaving in the coaches box with Sam Mitchell?

What’s going on right now is a bit like the vaccinations we’ve all been getting lately. A little sample of the latest variant to try and beat us from a side that’s not very good will immunise us if the better teams try it. We could just refer to them as the Alpha (Hawthorn) and Delta (North) blueprints.

Our only real risk of losing a game right now is if we kick this inaccurately against a much higher quality side.

Right now our best set shot kick in the midfield group is probably Jack Viney. Who would have thought.

Ah. They said GWS on the scoreboard near the end but of course that’s their next HOME game.

If North keep racking up the losses they could start playing AFL games at Arden St again. They won't get 8,000 through the gates against GWS next week.

Keys, phone, beanie, wallet, sunglasses, deckchair. Just making sure I've got everything for today's game.

Really missing the David Teague era.

Not a big surprise it's a record attendance between these two sides. Neither Princes Park nor the Lakeside Oval would have held 45,000 and during most of the years Carlton dominated the competition South Melbourne sucked and vice versa during the Sydney Swans era.

Sydney just need to stay close enough on the scoreboard until Carlton fall off a cliff in the last quarter.

Carlton looking good. Sadly.

Bosh! Just booked my flights for ADL. North v Hawthorn at Blundstone will be lucky to get two guys and a thylacine through the turnstiles.

All about getting Melky to 200 games I'd guess.

I think the only way we're going to kick a cricket score against anyone this year is if the opposition just give up, which hasn't happened to date.

Tim Watson is a F-L-O-G-G.

All I know is that come Saturday night I want to be sitting on top with 40 points and 170%.

Of all the 'firsts' we've ticked off on our 16 game winning run we can now add underwhelming 74 point win away against WC to the list.
