He offered to make a public apology and donate $20,000 to the Make America Great Again Again fund to no avail.

Looks like we got our round 1 fireworks after all.

Tom Morris: Fox Footy back me 100% Nek minnit.

Yup, I remember it well. Carlton charged back and hit the front, only a game saving booming goal from Hunty near the end got us over the line. Isn't cartilage and meniscus the same thing? I've got meniscal tears in each of my knees but the last surgeon I saw didn't want to trim them lest it leave bone rubbing against bone which would be worse.

Sounds similar to what T-Mac had in 2019. He went off after kicking six goals against the Blues. It ended his season but there were only about six games left of a train wreck of a year.

All that's missing now is a leaked photo of TM in blackface kicking a cat.

Carlton look like the real deal. If they don't win 8 games this year I'll eat my hat.

If it had been an AFL player or coach that had made those comments Fox would have been all over it but I haven't heard a peep about it on this evenings broadcast. Surely Jon Ralph would have an 'exclusive' on the developing story.

Right. That's work finished for the day. Now to make my way to The Tippler for 5pm opening. Let's hope they have a good range of beers on tap for the new season or it'll be straight onto the espresso martinis. Enjoy the night everyone!

Still too much of JB and BT for my liking. Bang, Bang, Bang aside.

Our % is knackered if we keep gifting goals to this average outfit.

As regards to Gawny's incident with the Oompa Loompa I'm sure he has said previously somewhere (maybe in his book?) that he wasn't balanced at the time so couldn't brace himself and this contributed to how he fell, making it look worse than it was. He just thought it should have been a free kick.

Just watched it on my lunch break. I'd rather have had 90 minutes of this than the Fox doco.

This is exactly what the NFL have done. 17 games instead of 16.

Personally I could have done without the history lesson for the first half but I guess it needed context. At least they won’t have to include it all again in next years one.

If it does come down to % then playing the day after us the Crows will know exactly what they need to do against the Saints. Both games will come down to how the two sides can limit the opposition scoring. The four goals Collingwood scored today saw Adelaide drop 20%.

A Melbourne team actually has the highest winning margin on record. Let that sink in.

16.11. As big as the win was it could've been a lot more.

Geez, how good is this to watch. Even if the magpies don't win tomorrow we need them to make some inroads into Adelaide's points against column as both us and the crows have very winnable games next week.

Deary me. 52 is so young in this day and age as well. Wasn’t he a lifetime smoker though?

For what it's worth a mate messaged me this morning. He's a coterie member at Richmond and is / was one of the mods on the VFL footy in the 80's facebook page I think. He watched the second half of the game last night and thinks we'll still finish top this year.

Geez. You'd be worried if the game actually meant anything. Carlton probably have an open top bus down Lygon St organised for tomorrow.

Sounds like entertainment for the lobotomised, much like Bounce.

I know I'm capitalising on our on field success. Can't speak for anyone else.

Fabulous. Hope that means it's on Kayo too.
