Probably gave some inspirational pre-game story about a one-armed nun's heroics during the Spanish flu to fire up his boys.

A fair bit of talk about "only 28 points" but it's worth noting that the Dogs only scored 59. They needed another 50% to win and only scored 2 goals in the 2nd half. It was great that we were able to convert our early dominance into scores. We're very hard to beat from 4 goals up at half time. Marvel Stadium suits our style, it's going to be harder and take even more effort to strangle the Dogs "width" game at the MCG. I think it's good we have them there again this season to refine the style. FWIW I think we will be well suited in Geelong in R23 at that narrow ground.

Let's just accept the illusion of free-will, shall we Dice Man?

I can highly recommend the local St.Agnes range - quality product, incredible value: https://stagnesdistillery.com.au/

https://www.afl.com.au/news/621164/mid-season-draft-check-out-27-of-the-top-contenders This guy looks like the only possible ready-made medium defender, if that's where we think the deficit is. Know anything about him @rpfc? ANGUS BAKER Medium defender 191cm/88kg 3/10/98 Essendon VFL The running half-back trained with Essendon's AFL side in the pre-season in the hope of winning a list spot before the Bombers looked elsewhere. He then signed with the club's VFL team where he has averaged 26 disposals across four games, including a 31-possession outing against North Melbourne last weekend. Formerly part of Sydney's Academy, Baker played NEAFL as a 17-year-old before rupturing his ACL. He later headed to the Canberra Demons, winning the NEAFL Rising Star award in 2019.

I'm a complete novice, I've only had it at good Tapas bars recommended with the food, but it's pretty good stuff. Same for me with Japanese and sake. I think it goes along with your earlier statement that if you get the right stuff it's usually good.

Agree - a good Reposado Tequila is a fine thing. How about the real Spanish sherry OD? I like that stuff.

I prefer Cognac, Armagnac, brandy - there I said it!

No, he should go to the back of the queue for an alternatve vaccine.

Thanks Sandra. It could just be postponed, there's no scheduled match at Docklands on Saturday night or on Sunday. I realise that could upset Channel 7 because they would have a broadcast clash and have the Suns v Hawks and Swans v Blues blockbusters scheduled for broadcast then, but surely that wouldn't be a show stopper. Maybe they could show both matches at the same time on their different channels.

He's a Cat.

Where's he now?

Vanders plays hard but very fair, he seems too nice to do dirty work. I wonder whether Uncle Byron should nominate for the mid season draft :)

I think we can't win the flag unless we have: May, Lever and Salem Petracca, Oliver and Langdon At least two of TMac, B.Brown, Fritsch and Weid Probably none of that is too controversial, except that I left Max out and I want to add Jackson and Viney to the list.

There's two things going on with crypto at present which are not complementary and #1 is predominating: They're a speculative high-risk investment instrument They're trying to establish themselves as alternative to fiat currency - a reliable holder of value

It's a testament to you being a shocking judge since you said he's be sacked by Round 8.

Cartoon FC is probably in the market after last Sunday.

Unsurprising. Tough times when there's nothing much to complain about.

It hasn't dawned on most Hawthorn supporters that they haven't bottomed out yet. Kennett thinks they'll be back contending in 2023! No Jeff that's when you'll be going back-to-back - spoons. Long may it last!

GO NORF!

Did a bit of a scan at AFLTables for the respective fortunes of the clubs this century. If you think we've been ordinary - well they have us covered in those stakes ... Since we played (and defeated them) in the 2000 finals series we've gone 176-3-275, Carlton 158-4-289

Bombers off a 6 day break too.

That's a pretty handy one wood for a KPB.

He was very ordinary at the Dogs but he's re-invented himself at Carlton and is a very decent key back. A good team with Weitering.
