Close - no cigar.

When all the boys lined up at school for a scratch match and the two captains took turns in picking players for their team, you get the feeling that little Ralphy was the last one to get selected.

That's a very healthy list. Does Selwyn get the same kudos that Burgess did when things are going well?

I think sporran is appropriate when you consider what is commonly found underneath one.

It's sort of fitting that May's 200th game is against the Mayblooms.

Will Verrall is a young, developing ruckman. I've heard that he is very big (and tall as well).

I THOUGHT it was ONLY every third or FOURTH word that she EMPHASISES.

You could combine the training report with a cooking segment and call it "Chicken Kev". Alternatively, you could play up the training spy angle and call it "Double O Kevin".

Good point, @sue. Collingwood, who entered the VFL in 1896 have played at Geelong on only 41 occasions. West Coast, who entered the VFL in 1987 (91 years later) have made the trip 27 times.

Casey have the bye this week, but with Salem back in full training, might we see him play part or all of their game the following week?

Interesting table, @whatwhat say what. Only Carlton and Collingwood have an overall winning record against the Cats at home, but both are rarely fixtured to play there these days.

Looking for the raw ingredients? Happy to help!

Yes, you're right. We won that one, too.

The last one I can recall is Jack Viney in 2014 (!!!). We won that appeal.

Long distance relationships are notoriously difficult and I know from experience just how hard it is. Hang in there, @Cassiew. Here's something to help you get through a tough time.

He also seems to have forgotten that 90 point win against "spuds" only last week.

Melbourne FC unsuccessfully applied to have footage shown to the Tribunal which showed that Barassi didn't even make contact to the head and that Dean was staging.

I actually contacted the AFL about this vexing issue, along with another bugbear of mine that is the practice of outfitting umpires in the same colours as one of the competing teams. To my surprise, I received an email response but it was just a generic fob off with a vague allusion to passing my comments on to the appropriate department. This was a few weeks ago. To nobody's surprise, nothing has changed.

Not me! I generally find them tedious, untrue and a self-indulgent waste of time. I'll make an exception in this instance, however.

I think he's more likely to be David's brother, Wayne.

Haha! It's almost like they've been listed simply in order of jumper numbers.

It was Carlton who got lionised last night, not Collingwood.

True dat.
