McQueen stuck in heavy traffic among all the other disenchanted fans checking out from the AFL.

The North bench stuffed it up and paid a massive price. What a rotten way to lose a match. Look on the bright side. The win edged Sydney above Freo on the ladder.

Judd McVee would have strong claims for our most improved since last year.

In a crossover from the puppy thread, I'm led to believe that the pooch on the left is named "Yartapuulti".

Looks like this weekly thread hasn't been started yet. There's some difficult games to tip. But I really just wanted an excuse to post this picture of a young Harry Sheezel with one of his childhood heroes. They'll be playing against each other this weekend!

He's been named in the starting 18, which is usually a sure sign that he's playing (not sub).

I wonder how North will respond against Sydney this week. It's possible that these events will inspire the team to play very well and pull off a good win, but also possible that they will feel totally flat and demoralised and play terribly.

Meh. Anybody, anywhere, anytime. I'm particularly looking forward to our 2.30pm timeslot on Saturday 30th September.

That issue has been sorted.

And finally ...

OK then, have some more.

I don't have a dog, but I have these for you.

I'm assuming that this will be a Knight match.

If anybody has a dog named "Shark", it's best not to take him/her to a crowded beach.

$5 for a $1 coin? Buck that.

Behold his royal gingerness. Maybe he'd just had highlights put in?

I feel obliged to say "well spotted".

I don't know if you'd class Seaton as a redhead based on this footy card.

To nobody's surprise, @Jaded No More has correctly identified that all the players in today's team are kindred spirits of hers in that they have red hair. They are all blessed with a skull of rust. I'll address the query raised by some posters as to the gingerness of three of the players now. 1. Colin Sylvia was as redhaired as they come until he fell in love with the peroxide bottle. 2. Rooey, while at the fairer end of the ranga scale, is still a redhead in my view (strawberry blonde?). 3. Scott Thompson is the one I was most hesitant about. If you look at early photos of him before he adopted the #1 cropped hairstyle, I maintain that there is a measure of the Fanta pants in him. I guess it's all in the eye of the beerholder and opinions may vary, but I've got no issue with that. After all, this whole thing is just a bit of ephemeral internet fluff. In closing, may I quote the wise words of @Jaded No More who I feel speaks for redheads everywhere ... "It's not how you look it's how ginger you feel at heart".

@Roger Mellie has also solved the teaser and raised the same eligibility doubts on those three players. I'll explain my reasoning when I post the reveal later this evening.

That can't be @old55. There's no bull.
