Robbo kicked seven on Rooke, although one of the goals came via a mark against Scarlett.

He will be close to our most important player if fit. It's impossible to over-estimate the value of a dominant key defender.

My point being that the AFL were obviously aware that the Dees, a battling club, would lose a revenue stream. Has there been a tacit agreement for us to make a statement about gambling with the AFL providing material support?

How much of the impetus for selling the Leighoak was the AFL providing inducements?

Amazed that there was a team below us, excluding the obvious Suns.

I will enjoy the fireworks if Carlton finishes 3rd last again.

Thank fook for that.

Never seen Jackson play and am certain Jason Taylor has weighed up all the negatives raised by supporters and yet he still picked him. I'm happy to put faith in the Taylor's judgement.

As a teetotaller, 20 to 25 minutes for half time is a waste of time. Get on with the game.

Oh, baby! Fire starter! Take the kill shot from the paint!

If we were to employ an augurer, I bet we would hire Claudius Pulcher. Legend has it that Pulcher, before the battle of Drepana, took the auspices from the the holy chickens. But the sacred chooks refused to eat, which was a terrible omen. So Pulcher chucked the chooks overboard. "If they won't eat, they can drink!" Guess who lost. Melbourne ought to take those behaviours and learnings on board. Or overboard, as the case may be.

Trac got some overdue love from one of the AFL data blokes today, who rated Trac's 2019 in All Aussie territory.

Even better:

At Ikon Park it would be a Royal Rumble.

As someone who played umpteen games of footy and cricket in Fawkner Park, can I just say "What hill?"

Carlton employed Bolton, and kept him on past his use-by date, to hold the fort while SOS rebuilt the list. There's a word for that, too.

Jeff got most of those goals as the last man in a chain. Cyril invented his goals out of nothing, plus he gave away plenty. Jeff's a seagull, Cyril is a jet.

I'm sure Melbourne gave Harmes' contract no thought at all, and simply plucked a number out of a hat. Unlike Kane, who has all the info on the Demons' inner workings.

Kane Cornes on SEN was going to say something about a recent Melbourne signing, but I got out of the car. I assumed he was going to criticise Melbourne for signing Harmes to such a long deal.

Our certain win will mark the start of our Deenasty.

Round 1, 1972. Had 8 to half time. For some reason I was at Moorabbin watching Saints North. Out of interest, does anyone know what became of John Stephens who kicked a lot of goals for StKilda in 72, but stopped in 73? He also played cricket for Victoria.

The win in Perth in R1 will be the perfect launchpad for our Deenasty. (Not Dee nasty.)

As I hear it, his ankle / Achilles / calf region is cactus. Won't play again. Would love him fit and firing at Demonland. Exactly what we need. Can't see it, tho.

I'm with you. Time on ground = hard running reeks of non sequitur. I'm tipping Jay had actually confused TOG with metres covered.
