Chook

A boxset of Vikings.

Forget weary. I’m dog tired.

Alice gives $5 of next week’s earnings to Carl in exchange for a donut. Bob gives Alice $10 of his next week’s earnings in exchange for a batch of old cookies. Alice says to Bob: “Forget that. Give the money to Carl because he is giving me a chocolate cake." How much of her own money has Alice given up?

Anyone who has seen that photo of him as a chubby youngster will know that Matt Jones got pretty much everything he could out of himself. I could have seen us keep him on for depth, but I suppose it's a metric of where we are and where we're going that we have better prospects than him.

I like Mayne…but I like $500k a hell of a lot more.

Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Needs to work on his height and facial hair.

Has a great attitude. Wish he could improve his contested marking though.

Don’t worry. Paul Roos will get us the flag next year.

There is absolutely no reason why any team can’t win it now. This shows it: belief in yourself, get the structure and culture right at the club, and the premiership can be yours no matter the odds.

Wish it was us.

All the way back in our game against them early in the season, I observed that the Bulldogs’ biggest strength was their amazing handpassing. That’s what’s proving the difference so far today.

"The Brownlow? Sheeite…I’m still watching the Brownlow?"

Whoever it was, I bet she’s taken. I’m pretty sure she’s someone’s wife and/or girlfriend.

Max Gawn should try shaving his head or growing a beard to get noticed by the umpires a little more….

They put those things on TV? Sadists!

Just checked. Melbourne is 6th in terms of total votes after 16 rounds. Not bad.

Dennis Cometti just rises above the cruft in that room like a cork in the ocean…or something. He’ll be sadly missed.

Both of these would also perform admirably in a pinch:

He’s an ex-player who showed the slightest interest in doing it. With the current state of sports journalism, that’s enough unfortunately.

Sydney wasn’t the best team two weeks ago.

Without insight into two divergent universes, I don’t know how you can say that. What I will say is that inconsistency from year to year in the running of a sporting code is antithetical to what sport is supposed to be about.

Get rid of this stupid bye after round 23 please. We can see that one game in 27 days is not an “advantage” for a top four side that wins week 1 of the finals.

Considering the unspeakable evil that Etihad Stadium embodies, are you sure you spelled that word right?
