There was a lot to like about Joel Smith yesterday but... He kicks like Cameron Bruce used to. Lots of helicopters and leg breaks. No drop punts.

Currie cemented his spot as number 1 ruckman at gold coast this year until he broke his hand in 3 different incidents and 3 different spots. Two of the breaks required surgery to repair. Before that he was behind Goldstein in the sub era where teams stopped playing a backup ruck.

Hopefully 3 time premiership player Jack Viney does an apprenticeship somewhere else before he continues the chain and leads us to further glory.

Not sure why everyone is so critical of Freo / Ross Lyon. If Sylvia just has a good pre-season they will be alright.

Spot on.

Great call nutbean. At the time I was wondering how the call could possibly be overturned by the 3rd umpire. Which it couldn't be. But you are spot on that it could affect the players decision making as well.

What does everyone think about Slash playing for ACDC? I'm a bit torn. Guns'n roses one of my favourite bands ever. Likewise ACDC. Not sure this is a match made in heaven.

Kate Miller Heidke does the greatest opera version of Psycho Killer by the Talking Heads you could ever see.

Given Brayshaw wasn't given NAB challenge games it's hard to draw a line. Let's hope they are both fighting for the same spot by round 5 because Trengove and Petracca are banging the door down.

Brayshaw was playing pretty good footy up until he got injured. The 2nd quarter against Collingwood on Queens Birthday was something to behold. if Oliver has a better debut year it is exciting times for Demon fans.

I hate Parish because he plays for Essendon. I also hated Ben Kennedy up until last years trade period because he played for Collingwood.

Hopefully nab 3. He could be just building...

Neither did The Ox. 2 of the best players in the last 40 years. Must be a sign...

I know someone who was at that concert booing them off the stage.

The Queen song (Radio Goo Goo) isn't a masterpiece but Freddie's captivation of a packed out Wembley Stadium is as good as I have seen. I love it more for the theatre than the song itself.

I'm going for live music The greatest duet since Sonny and Cher https://youtu.be/qiTVzUz3i40 The greatest live performance https://youtu.be/0omja1ivpx0

We used pick 34 on Max Gawn who had done his ACL the previous season. He was untried at AFL level and a massive unit which could only put extra pressure on his knees. Sometimes you need to take educated risks.

It's funny I get sh1tty when posters criticize McKenzie for his disposal or Watts for his effort and the list could go on. I see our players in a glass full kind of way. We get a player who is a combination of Jonathan Brown and Wayne Carey and I am worried his kick isn't penetrating enough. It's tough being a Melbourne supporter.

Does he have speed issues? I'm pretty sure I read over the pre-season he is in the top 3 over 20m at the club.

That's a shame because I had some nice mares waiting for Odwyer and Tingay

The first highlights package I saw left me uninspired. Did not hit a target, Not sure who put it together like that and what the motives were.

Thanks PaulRB. He hits more targets in that one than any other of the highlights I have seen.

I have just watched again and he doesn't hit a target by foot in that footage bar kicking goals. I have no doubt he is a gun, however, I just haven't seen him hit targets by foot in the limited footage I have seen and the above link doesn't disprove that.

How many leading goal kicking tittles and best and fairest's has McCartin won at Casey in the VFL playing against men?

And early draft picks...
