Clintosaurus

He plays for Southport, who beat the Swans Reserves in the NEAFL Grand Final. 22 years old.

I don't get the whole fairytale thing. All it does is demean the efforts of the team that are considered to be the fairytale. Carlton winning the flag next year would be a fairytale. We are not.

Same. It's a whole lot of e-mails all going at once.

Have all year, especially after the boss of 7 said it would be good for the Pies to be up and going.

No change. Stability is great this time of the season. In 2005 Sydney didn't have a change for about 10 weeks.

Sounds like the Eagles clowns over there are a little bit nervous about how it will pan out on Saturday.

Jags solid enough today. Better getting the Pats early on before they get into Beast Mode. Who would want to be a kicker?

Hopefully in two weeks time we can say 'yesterday'.

She is in Bali I think.

Nicholls keeping the Hawks in it. Wonder what else he has in store.

The whole 'fairytale' thing gives me the irrits. It makes it sound like it is rigged for us to win. I wouldn't complain if we do, but I just find it annoying.

Nearly a sellout by the sounds?

Or the tough stickers.

Ravens, Chargers, Texans

I think it is the next set of contract renewals where it may get difficult. Until then, just enjoy what the boys are doing each week.

Same as last week - not nervous. Will be watching the game at home by myself and the phone will be switched off to avoid the socials. Have a lot of Hawthorn mates that are always quick to let you know when they are winning. Obviously hoping that won't be happening.

Not sure about a hiding, but I think the boys will get it done by around 20 points.

Training will have tapered right down by now. Andrew Leoncelli mentioned on 'The Dees Podcast' that there is no fitness work, but only game simulation and kicking/handball drills. Players not being out there doesn't mean much.

So Dew wants Lloyd and Newman? Guess he knows them well enough.

His role seems to have changed from a pressuring small forward to an outside link type player between the arcs. Would explain only kicking 1 goal this year. Great coaching to not play him to his strengths.

That was sometime yesterday I think

Anna was in the rooms after the game on Friday. Appeared a couple of times during Roaming Brian.

Sir Swamp Thing on Twitter may have the answer to this.

Best be packing it then.
