Lynden Dunn is like a cockroach you just can't get rid of, and I mean that in the best possible way. Congratulations on the ton, and may you produce many ill-tempered and obnoxiously moustachioed progeny.
Today has shown just how irrelevant pre-season form is. We won't know anything until 3 PM tomorrow, and there's an outside chance that we really have improved a lot. We could also have gone backwards, but there's absolutely no way of knowing so don't worry about it.
Having just realized that Leigh Montagna is suspended for the Saints, I've made a late change to my tip for tonight's game. I've picked the Suns to beat St Kilda up at Metricon (though this might just have undone my headstart from tipping Essendon and Fremantle last week.) We'll see how it pans out.
Also, Sam Lane has been horrendous tonight on the Channel 7 pre-game ramble.
They've got one of the most un-Collingwoodlike lists in the competition. Malthouse might take years to pick up the players he needs to fit his gamestyle. Getting rid of Ratten might have been a horrible mistake on their part.
He's the kind of guy whose personality is so atrocious that you tend to automatically discount everything he says as being pretentious bullshite. While a lot of it is bullshite, some of what he says borders on insightful (which is a rare thing indeed these days).
Having tipped both the winners last weekend, I'm hoping I can extend my perfect run in 2013 this week with my tips of Carlton, Brisbane, Sydney, St Kilda, Melbourne, Collingwood and Hawthorn.
