We'll be doing well to break the 10k barrier for the WC game there if we're still playing like dug shîté, Clinto.

I'm not interested in the argument about whether T-Mac should be in the side or not but I really want him to reach his 250 game milestone before he bows out.

Goody believes in reincarnation? Now that is exciting!

Coulda, woulda, shoulda......... On Jeffo. Before he convinces anyone else he's good enough to play AFL football maybe the kid needs to convince himself.

Is it still football season?

Bummer. I'll be out in Coburg tomorrow morning. Pity it's being played out in Terra Nullius.

What if by the time we finally get our heads around the new game plan / have the players to implement it properly the game has already moved on again? 😆

We are not moving to Port Melbourne. We are not moving to Port Melbourne. We are not moving to Port Melbourne. We are not moving to Port Melbourne. WE ARE NOT MOVING TO PORT MELBOURNE.

Deary me. Who's idea was it to play North v Footscray on a Thursday night? You can hear every sound echoing around the ground it's so empty. And North celebrating their 100th year tonight.

Perhaps we could merge the celebration of all of the various causes into one big mega round?

He might appear settled but if we tried to move Trac into a predominantly impact forward role at this stage of his career I think he absolutely would look to move again. However, if we did want to push him out the door without stating we’re looking to shop him this would be a way to do it.

As ridiculous as the NHL where 16 of the 32 teams make the playoffs. Supposedly something like 6 v 10 & 7 v 9 and the winners make up a final 8?

I’m feeling pretty demoralised about our onfield output to be honest and it wouldn’t surprise if we lost all of our remaining games.

Nor sure it's the most pressing matter to be honest but in an ideal world it needs to be someone like a Max or Toby Green that is selfless, leads from the front, commands respect and is a good communicator and club ambassador. Which counts out pretty much everyone on our list. Many of the names already mentioned aren't even guaranteed a game every week.

I think potting Maysie is just buying into the media pile-on. You can't do much when there's no pressure being applied further up the field and the oppo are firing darts to your opponent. Giving away a bit of height today as well. Not that I rate Ben King that much.

Another three hours I’ll never get back.

Zero expectations.

There's something cathartic about watching Carlton get belted.

Had any of Petty, Brayshaw or Melksham been available in September and / or we’d been slightly more accurate we wouldn’t have needed anyone else to lift both those flags.

Didn't McKay just have knee surgery?

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.
