Che Sera Sera was a Marxist fatalist.

West Coast is a Clarko Footy disciple and currently play better Clarko Footy than Hawthorn. Kingy is right. We got away with the game last night. If the Hawks were on their mettle we would have been skewered. If West Coast is on their game on Saturday we will be in trouble simply because they are comparatively better than Hawthorn and we most definitely struggle against Clarko Footy. Nevertheless, we beat the Hawks despite being quelled around the contested footy, which is usually our long suit. Last night's game was weird in so much as it was like Melbourne playing against Melbourne. The Hawks kept taking the ball into our forward line, but we were able to hold them out and score on the breakaway. We can't tempt fate and allow West Coast the same territorial ascendancy, simply because they will operate better than Hawthorn. With luck and good management we will play the game in our forward half and put the slows on their sling shot and stop Kennedy and Darling getting clear chances. Fingers crossed we don't play tennis against a brick wall. No matter how well we play the ball keeps coming back.

I thought we hated the Hawks because we have beaten them about five times in 50 years.

Whats with the gruesome music?

Fending off with the foot? So that's what we call kicking now. Noted.

Don't be surprised if Hawthorn put some work into Salem.

Gerard sounds disturbingly similar to Frank Walker from National Tiles.

I'd prefer to bring back Glenn Lovett. Safer hamstrings.

Hogan for Cera and Andrew Brayshaw, with pick swaps.

The strong clubs have built their lists first from the draft, then after a period of development, traded in players to fill specific roles (unless an absolute gun wants in). What are our specific needs? Obviously outside speed is one, so Gaff would fill that bill, but if Gaff and Norf have paid massive overs we would be silly to also pay massive overs. We need to look elsewhere. Fingers crossed we have other irons in the fire, and fingers, toes and eyes crossed if one of those irons is Josh Kelly.

The Hawks are a big chance to pinch a flag now they are in the top 4. Clarko footy, genius, GOAT.

I'd love to avoid the Hawks.

Robbo thinks it is WC or North. (I have heard it is WC or Melbourne.) "All-Australian Gaff clearly is in demand. The Kangaroos believe it’s between them and West Coast and while St Kilda is making noises about wanting to talk to Gaff — and any player who has a pulse, for that matter — they accept he isn’t going to call Moorabbin home."

We need outside pace and possibly another big defender.

Limping into 10th, more like.

Caro was back on Classified, Caro talks to Hutchy, Hutchy has history with Pert, Caro writes article. (I've only heard one vocal member of the underwhelming group past its time, and that is Dr Turf, who went to Scotch.)

On face value it appears a solid appointment, but I seem to recall Pie mutterings in Pert's last period as CEO.

Jake Niall writing that the Dees have space for Gaff is code for the Dees being right into Gaff and well in the race to sign him.

One of those footballers who is not just a skilled player (although ungainly), but just as importantly, possibly more importantly, instinctively knows how to use his body.

Angus played well tonight.

Not a password issue. It was a connected apps prob.

Toumpas.

Collingwood has had to give Moore a charity position (sweeping defender) to get him a touch.

Cycling. One day, in the very distant future, I may almost consider cycling legit.

Say the first thing that comes into your mind. Wines. Toumpas.
