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.)

Farmer didn't destroy the Pies on Queens Birthday. He destroyed them on the Saturday.

I reckon Westhoff kicked the last goal because the 50 he was paid was closer to 75.

Two 50s and one 75.

I don't get the complaints about lack of effort. Clearly we had a RHG. Where we blew the game was where we often blow the game: efficiency going forward. Addressing our efficiency deficiency must be front and centre in the footy department's plans.

I have to go out tonight, so I won't be able to watch the game, which is not a problem becuase I can't see Melbourne coming close. Port is hot, Melbourne is not the sum of its pieces, the game is in Adelaide.

Alex France the diving squirrel gripper.

Fortress Marvel.

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

Why do people always seem to think highlights are better with rubbish music?

Richo was having a rant on AW about Rance being called a diver on the socials. It was funny to read all the comments having a go at Rance, with only a small percentage defending him. Guess who all the defenders barracked for. That's right, the Tiggers. Richo, Tiggers fans, Mandy Rice Davies comes to mind: well, they would say that. Rance clearly dived against Essendon. And while his dive was less pronounced against Port, it was interesting that he was nudged sideways, but then went flying forwards.

Time wasting is not what I call the acme of energetic pragmatism that is posting about the Dees.

Yes, I'm hoping the same. Fingers crossed he gets a good run without injury, because if - big if - he can stay fit he'll be an asset. Plus, he's faster than Jobe and Josh. Inside grunt, with size and outside speed is a rare quality. Reading between Goody's lines this morning - actually, extrapolating with extreme prejudice - I suspect he rates Aaron.

Are there any women here?

According to Round Robbo, I am close to the mark. Well, his mark, for what it's worth.

Collingwood deserves QB home games.

Gawn is currently fighting it out with Grundy, with Nik Nat & Lycett pinching each other's credits. Nevvy was fantastic on the weekend, but I'm not sure he's had a better year than last - although I'm also not sure about his back pocket competition. Hogan is playing better than Brown, but has not kicked as many goals, and there is a lot of love for Brown. Oliver is up against some heavyweight competition, and is probably just off the leaders.

Lock in a Dogs victory.

We drafted Troy, and were his first club.

Brent Williams and Matty Collins. Pity we couldn't get something out of Williams. He had heaps of talent, but no application. Ended up kicking bags of goals in the Eastern Footy League.

Nick Pesch.

We got heaps more frees. It was like Melbourne had been flung into a parallel universe.

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.

Clarry's pace to (and from) a contest is astonishing. He hits the contest at speed without much of a run-up and uses the ball almost before he gets it.

Lever targetted Adelaide.
