Was hoping for Ess to smash pies tonight but their defence is as sharp as a cheap suit. Edit: whoops - didn’t realise I was in the wrong lane. Soz.

If anyone can, Jakey can. Love the intensity he brings to the group. Fullo needs to grasp the opportunity if he gets it. But if not now, then when? It’s still only 22+1 players (when will it be 23?) Any backup for Max must be able to hold down their own place independently and add to the team’s contest. Can’t just be there to pick and choose when to put it on the line or to look pretty.

How much more dangerous than Stock Aitken Waterman? We should be so lucky.

Someone’s been moonlighting on here? Hello? Glenn? Glenn? Are you there, Glenn?

I like the idea of putting Melky straight in: 1. The recovery sessions that these guys do are far harder than regular training. 2. Pretty sure he would not have cut any corners. 3. Can’t see any benefit in sending him to Brisbane to play in the seconds for a week. 4. Watched West Coast’s insipid defence last week. If he wants to get some form, this is the team to start on. Hope he goes really well – hope for the best, plan for all possibilities. Woey will probably be the sub, and may come on for him in the case of limited minutes anyway.

Sounds direct from Blackadder goes Forth. ?

We used to take the kids regularly via the Ocean Road. More recently I’ve taken the train a few times which is pretty chill and they just keep feeding you all day.

Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure the rules will change again long before this comes to fruition.

Probably just walking home when he went past Darcy Moore?

Casey’s going to have a hell of a side this weekend.

So, out of the 37 remaining matches between the top 13 teams, WE FEATURE IN 7 OF THEM. OTHERS: Sydney 5 Carlton 5 Fremantle 6 Essendon 6 Geelong 4 Collingwood 7 Port Adelaide 6 Brisbane 5 Western Bulldogs 6 GWS Giants 7 Gold Coast Suns 5 Hawthorn 5

1.5 games between 3rd and 13th!! I know it’s been said before, but still that’s just ridiculous. So many 8 point games coming up.

He has the full support of the board. Just like Ratts….and Harvey…

Vulnerable - Port, Ess, Cats, Pies

Ken doing his best Penguin impersonation. Looking more like Burgess Meredith every day.

Howes was asked to play very defensively today. So much so that it looked like the ball hit him in the shoulder while he was watching his opponent. It was annoying watching Will Elliott hit Shack and Moodle with roundhouse forearms to the head without retaliation. Could have received some reciprocal late spoils. Couldn’t anyone let them know it is Moodie? Or is he a teacher?

He is second-guessing where the ball is going, rather than looking at the ruckman’s arms and being the first there. He needs to study Neale, Merrett, and other smaller midfielders rather than trying to nullify.

Just watching the last quarter of cats and pretenders. Luke Darcy coming up with some golden special comments. Or should that be, Goldfish comments? Q4 12:43 “Cats trailed by five points at half time. They now have a 53 point lead.” Score is 90-57

Same game? Not really worth turning over?

If only the cats could lose too.

I didn’t see the Roos/Dogs game today, but evidently Bont had another cracker. This time after back spasms. Betting if he had an amputation he would have 50 and kick 6. One of the only players in the comp that I would openly welcome. But it would never happen. You get the feeling if he’s not on the field, then he’s probably on the front desk, designing the jumper, or entertaining the kids dressed in the dog outfit.

Absolutely, he does. Just don’t ask him to explain it. I need that time to do other things with my life.

Graham (and the other recent draftees) have had the benefit of the last 3!! preseasons. It’s a part of being in their Academy.

Howe also looked like he was shot from the grassy knoll. Nothing to see here.
