I think sorry should have a capital letter and Grammar Police should have caps too. And don’t forget the full stop after right.

BTW, excellent work with the commas.

Awful game.

Play like that next week and we'll get smoked. Throw the highlights tape in the bin and move on.

World’s shortest tape.

Stephen May interview on 7. Great guy!!!

A good scoreboard, considering the number of passengers we had: Petty, Chandler, JVR, Sparrow.

Trac was fumbly. Clarrie and Viney were below their best. Fortunately Disco, Maxy, Rick and Maysie were on song.

Fritter interview… “100%”

Petty has to be dropped after this. Doesn’t even look interested.

We’re not embarrassed. We know the term bog ordinary. But you wrote BOG ordinary. Perhaps you haven’t heard the term for Best On Ground is BOG.

Confused me too.

Really?

You can't take much from the cats lions game given the conditions, and def not that they are ahead of us.

Carlton played well, but defensively were average, giving up nearly a hundred points.

They were slight favourites to win that game, unsurprising given it was in Melbourne. And so the win was hardly a shock.

To be honest, despite losing, the giants worry me more.

The pies got rolling, and good on them. But they also looked shakey defensively and they benefited from ports absolutely woeful defence (im shocked port didn't make changing their defensive system a condition to agree to resign hinkley - they will never win a flag with their current defensive method).

Well, I’m not holding myself up as a great predictor of results - I’ve picked all losers this round so far. But Carlton took care of the previously undefeated GWS, despite injuries. Collingwood looked back to their best. Brisbane lost to Geelong on their home ground in conditions they should be more used to. And Brisbane has beaten us in our last two clashes. It just worries me. I hope your optimism proves justified, @binman. 

After watching those games yesterday, I think Melbourne is a step below Geelong, Carlton and Collingwood. And maybe below Brisbane, despite their performance in the wet. We have a lot of ground to make up if we’re going to be a premiership threat.

He is used to being bigger and stronger than his opponents which shower with him trying to push them off

Not sure what to make of this.  In any case, shouldn’t he be showering with his teammates?

I’ll have the beer, but I’m staying away from that other stuff.

Exactly. Brisbane just chipped it to players in space while we guarded grass. They made us look lazy and foolish.

For me…

I really struggled after the top 3...

The rest of the team deserve negative votes.

Windsor? Rated 40th out of 46 players. Ten disposals. Don’t get me wrong, I love him, but let’s be realistic. 

The inexperience of our youngsters, Windsor, Howes, JVR and McVee, is showing.
And our experienced forwards, Brown, Petty, Fritter, are out of position when the ball comes in.

Clarrie is obviously hampered by his hand and is pretty much useless tonight. 

I was planning on going to the game with my daughter tomorrow night, but she’s not well. If anyone else is going alone or looking for a Demon-supporting companion, please pm me.

Hope you like your coffee black because there's no milk today.

Disappointed that you couldn’t find a way to mention Ben and Mrs Brown’s lovely daughter. 😀

I just checked the length of this week’s podcast. I usually take a long walk most days and fill it with an episode of A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs - which I heartily recommend. But today I’ll do a 2 hour, 40 minute walk, counting @binman’s ums for Stats File.  😁
Keep up the great work, @Demonland.
