Got his just desserts?

We get 14 days off. Shouldn't make any difference to either team.

Do you ever feel good about a game, Jaded?

It's certainly not because purple is a combination of red and blue.

It would be a thrill to see Big Mummy reprise the role of Big Carl in the last round of 1980.

Is your real name Jimmy? The Jimmy?

Did that come before or after your immaculate conception?

Howdy Rollo, great to hear from you again. You are correct and your mate is not - it was Micky Bone whom Crompton followed up the ground.

But why? It just sounds like immature retribution along the "two wrongs make a right" school of thought. This pandemic is not about politics. It is a major health issue that impacts on people regardless of who they vote for.

Better to be woke than asleep at the wheel, I suppose.

How would our straight kicking help to keep Brisbane under five goals?

The time is now and only a flag will satisfy me. Just about everything has gone right this year and we've had a lot of luck with injuries (not just the very few we've suffered but the ones to important players our opposition have copped). We may not find ourselves in such a great position again and can't just assume we'll make it next year. This year has the feeling of Richmond 2017 about it to me and we must capitalise on the opportunity.

Seatbelts don't guarantee you won't get injured in a car crash, but you'd be foolish not to wear one. Parachutes don't guarantee you'll survive a fall out of a plane, but your odds of survival might be a tad better. Get vaccinated. You'd be a fool not to.

That comes across as quite nasty, vindictive and childish, Doug. Why would you want to punish innocent players and supporters?

This assumes that: a) Weid is prepared to go to Freo. b) Freo want him.

I don't think Damien actually knows what the term "sliding door moment" means.

The players voted for these awards, not the public.

No. His family live in Melbourne and accommodate young Demon draftees.

It wasn't me.

Thanks EO, that was an entertaining read. This puzzles me though: It’s a little alarming to think that from the 2005 Draft all the way to 2012 – just five players are on Melbourne’s list: Among those are Max Gawn, Tom McDonald and Nathan Jones. The fourth would be Jetta, but who is the fifth?

Word is that Ross has a job lined up with the Eagles. Even with those sunglasses on, he can't hide those Lyon eyes. (sorry)

I have no idea what he wants (nor do you) but I would confidently assume that being part of team success/premierships is a most attractive proposition. I also don't think he warrants a pay cut in the magnitude that you are suggesting.

Why would he want to look for "opportunities" elsewhere when he's currently an important part of a young, strong team that appears to be in premiership contention for the next few years?

I'm curious about the reasoning behind this comment, Dante. I know that several posters on here have thrown Gus's name up as a potential trading chip, but I'm unaware of any other noise about him leaving.

Although not quite as good as the four albums preceding it, "Goat's Head Soup" is nevertheless an excellent but widely under-rated record. "Winter" would make my list of top twenty Stones' songs and I believe Charlie was very fond of it.
