Premiers soon
Apparently what impressed Roosy about Goody when looking for his successor was he spoke more about club culture than game plans

Probably add 'but great character' to slow and unskilled

The AFL wants to reduce tackling
I watched the 1989 grand final recently, one of the 'great' grand finals and the almost complete lack of tackling that day annoyed the bejesus out of me. Watching players with the ball waltz past opponents as though they were witches hats I started saying to myself, FFS tackle him!

POSTGAME: Rd17 vs Bulldogs
It was close but the Doggies hunt just seemed that bit better than ours, we were rarely breathing down their necks they way they were with us. Kinda story of the year. Great to see Petty do so well forward, he's such a natural footballer

Round 17 Non MFC Games
Was really impressed by the way The Pies ground their way back into the game last night. They did exactly what we can't manage, they were dominated then just stopped the opposition, nothing pretty and the rest came from there. Our defensive workrate has been seriously wanting much of this year

POSTMATCH: Rd 15 vs Brisbane
As the game wore on, all I wanted to see was our mids put Brisbane's under pressure. I didn't care if it degenerated into total ugly and forget talk of our forward line, the ease with which they constantly exited congestion was where we lost the game. Do our much vaunted midfield think the defensive stuff is below them?

POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Collingwood
The same way we've been beat the last xxx years, smashed on the outside. Collingwood's defensive pressure was outstanding and we didn't match there, particularly on the spread

Oskar Baker
Not only great straight line speed but really good evasive skills too

May setback + Jetta knee injury (8-10 weeks)
I copped a groin injury during pre season and it stopped me playing for the year. The pain after it cooled down that night and for quite some time after was severe. Even swimming 2/3 months later I needed a float between my legs such was the discomfort if my legs kicked. Like Steven May I had a scan and it showed nothing. When I saw Joel Smith still running around in the Lions game and it was known he had a groin injury I was yelling at the monitor (I'm in Bangkok) Get him the [censored] off now!

Welcome to Demonland: Bayley Fritsch
Very suprised Fritsch was not in the AFL draft hub list of 94 potential draftees for tomorrow. Not even as a smokey
