They probably consoled themselves by getting stuck into the boooooze on the flight home.

St Kilda showcasing the Belgian national colours. The Saints actually switched to those colours during WWI as the German colours were red, black and white.

"Could be sidelined for up to a month" says Ralph. Let's wait for something a bit more definitive from the club. It might not be the catastrophe some are fearing.

WHY ARE WE SHOUTING?

At home games, their fans just go with the first three letters.

And there's my new word for the day!

We'll ... all ... be ... Runed ... said ... beezlebub.

What happened to Bowser?

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.
