Maybe in their weight division BBO. They need to beef up though if they want to go toe to toe with the heavyweight champions of the AFL.

Blues on the ropes in this featherweight title match.

Of course it is. It's a Carlton jumper.

Back to Willie Wonka's chocolate factory for Caleb Daniel.

That's brilliant Skuit. I found that the further north and south you got away from Dublin the sillier the accents became. Cork and Ulster being the extremes. My girlfriend at the time was dutch so I didn't have a translator at my beck and call like you but she did have a bit of an Irish accent courtesy of a six month stint working at a bar called the Horseshoe down in Kenmare a year or two before we met.

Hi WCW. I've actually known people from as far west in London as Roehampton and as far east in Kent as Margate do the same so there are some outliers. Ormond isn't one of them though so I have no idea where Max picked it up from. Incidentally, in Ireland (I know you're Irish) they drop the h a lot and say ting instead of thing. I lived in Dublin for 5 years and enjoyed listening to the different accents. All accept one guy that worked in the mail room from somewhere north of the river who I could not understand a word of what he ever said. I couldn't have a conversation with him unless there was a third person with me to translate. It was like Klunk in that Stop the Pigeon cartoon with Dastardly & Muttley.

I watched an episode where they were playing Who wants to be a Millionaire. Max had to answer a question about rivers and he butchered the names of all four answers, pronouncing the Danube as Danoobee, even though he'd been to Vienna where it runs through.

If GWS had played as well as they did last week when we hammered them they'd probably be in front tonight. Very frustrating.

If I had to pick someone to kick a goal to save Jack Higgins' life I'd nominate Max King.

Dad's Army? I wonder how New Zealanders fare when they go up there? I can't imagine the locals take too kindly to being called Sh!tland Islanders.

I think we need Preussy to run through Higgins like a freight train.

Curiously along with Shetland they are the only constituency in Scotland that always votes Liberal Democrat at every election, resulting in absolute fannies like Alistair Carmichael representing us at Wasteminster.

Cold place in Scotland.

Please tell me again about the Tom Green marquee.

There's actually people there. GWS should just move lock, stock & barrel to Canberra. I doubt anyone in Sydney would notice the removal truck leave.

Giants to get up tonight.

Well if we can't work out what the side will look like then good luck in Richmond trying to. I guess we'll all know by the time the VFL game starts. The Tiges haven't been any better than us at centre bounce clearances so Viney being out might hurt less this week than others.

Well, the pecking order in the back line has become a little clearer but Brown, McDonald and Weideman up front? Tom Sparrow to take Viney's spot in the middle? As for the oppo other than Rioli I've never heard of any of their ins.

Hi everyone. This popped up in my youtube selections tonight so I thought I'd share it. The interviewer Dylan Buckley played for GSW and Carlton, I think. The interview is an hour long.

Fair point Turner. I've just looked and the Sir Doug Nicholls rounds are 10 & 11 which are both away games against sides that predominantly wear royal blue, West Coast and North Melbourne. I think I read somewhere that these guernseys get planned a long way ahead of time though and therefore probably before the fixture is released.

It's rather busy. The red and the blue parts are the wrong way around as well.

One thing I think we can all agree on is that if it wasn't for ... Rail replacement buses. Public transport in general. Uber prices. Parking. Too long a walk after we've parked. Traffic. $10 beers. Mid strength beer. Food outlets closed. Loud music. Weather too nice to go. Weather too bad to go. Games on public holidays. Games at night. Games at 3.20pm on a Sunday. Games at 1.10pm on a Saturday. Games on a Wednesday. Games on a Thursday. Games on a Friday. Games at Easter. Games on Mother's Day. Bringing the family to a night game. Leaving the family to go to a night game. Games against interstate teams. Games against teams with no rivalry. Games at Marvel. School holidays. Going away for the weekend. Can't sit exactly where we want. Sitting on level 4. Can't stand at the game. Spending all our money on the Grand Prix the week before. Can't pay in cash at the gate. Not being able to access our digital ticket until 72 hours before a game. Stupid ticketing system. Ticketek Ticketmaster Free to air on TV Kayo Club not promoting games enough. 2 years of lockdown. Covid. ...we would all crawl over broken glass to watch this Melbourne team right now.

We were a Charlie Curnow goal away from having the perfect weekend.

That's why they needed to pull a few strings to get him out of Gold Coast.

Hawthorn looking like a poorly assembled cheap knock off version of us.
