So, another season and , predictably but tragically, another year of Channel 7's obssession with replays showing a slo-mo close up of the goalkicker with his gob wide open screaming "Come on!".

From 'The Age' just now: Collingwood premiership star Brayden Maynard was involved in a car accident on Thursday morning. The Magpies said no one was injured in what football boss Charlie Gardiner described as “an unfortunate accident” involving another car. Sounds like he drives in much the same manner as he plays football, except he didn't injure anybody this time. "Unfortunate accident", hey?

If your Aunty had wheels, she'd be a bicycle.

That was a bit of fun, but I would advise that you take your seasickness pills before watching to help cope with some of the wobbly, jerky camera work.

Supposedly looked a bit like Alex Ishchenko. (I don't think he did.)

But ... but ... he kicked FOUR goals against an undermanned but still almost invincible Richmond ... in a PRACTICE MATCH!!!!

Preferring Carlton over Essendon? That's like having to choose whether to have your sh*t sandwich cut into squares or triangles.

What do I win for being the last to post on the old software?

That would be the one and only Mohamed Salah, quite possibly the best player in the world at the moment. YNWA!

My grandfather was fond of saying that but, then again, he was a lousy cabinetmaker.

Our West Australian scout keeping an eye on things.

So we've got a Wizard and a Lizard playing tonight and more than one King running around. All we need now is a Gizzard to get the band back together again.

A recruiter (might have been ours) saw him play and reported that "This kid is a wizard". The name stuck.

Did you hate how Jeff Farmer got the nickname before he played a game?

Every year, people jump to conclusions based on results in the first round of the (long) season. Making a call before half-time of the first and only game to be played is taking it to a new level.

These were part of the membership package swag circa 2010. Bring 'em back!

Not until I saw it on The Simpsons one night.

The emblem, in this case, being the Grand Old Flag. (I think you knew that! )

You'd need somebody with a loud voice yelling out "Chewy on yer boot!".

Jordan Lewis had it before Dogga and before JL, it was Chris Dawes. Grundy inherited the #6 from Dogga for one season before Windsor took over.

WhY DiD wE LeT hIm gO?

So, no inhouse match sims then? Way to shoot your own argument in the foot.
