Who still has their 2021 Premiership cap?

'Piercing left foot'. Oh, be still my heart!

I blame loading for that performance. We're obviously targeting next week's game.

But if we were talking to a polce constable about him we'd say he was our chief Petty, officer.

For the first 15 minutes I thought the game was going to be a disaster, but it wasn't. Which is something, I guess.

Neutrals probably enjoyed it as an exciting game. Me? I hate valiant narrow losses.

Has JVR's run up got longer for set shots?

Against the Bulldogs? I'd like a little bit of bang, bang, bang deja vu.

With hindsight, maybe a year too late? We could have had Adem Yze step into the role ...

12.2.74 Fourth quarter, Round 4, 2013

Three great losses: Gus, Luke Jackson, Aden Yze.

Okay, so they've established a precedent. Now, let's watch them apply it erratically, unequally and confoundingly.

Tassie Medal winner, 1961, outstanding player in the interstate carnival.

Watch the Blues dump Voss just before they play us and they'll rally for the new coach, whoever that is.

Fascinating, this. Data, statistics about playing in different conditions. How 'the winter game' Australian...How Australian Rules football adapts to the weather, and...Unless you're playing at Docklands, weather is always a feature of games of AFL. Cody Atkinson and Sean Lawson take a look at how teams adapt to different conditions, who plays better in the wet, a...

Small solace: Carlton's rubbish performance is keeping our poor performance out of the media.

Agreed, repeated practice is the key but it has to be repeated practice with good/restructured technique otherwise you just get good at being bad.

I'm going to sit down and watch the '21 Grand Final.

If he's any good, they'll fix it so we can't get him.

Remember when we drafted him and some grumbled that we took him too high? What a great pick he's turned out to be.

Jeff's slo-mo analysis of the very first bounce shows how ridiculous the Pies' bleating about manhandling of Nick Daicos was. Both Oliver and Petracca are clearly held at the bounce, with Petracca's jumper pulled halfway up his back. Did the Dees get special, revised treatment after half time due to this egregious scragging? Or was it just considered standard operating procedure, nothing to see here?

Demons' supporters can be accused of bias and red/blue tinted specs, but have a look at the reaction of neutral viewers on social media. They're as furious as we are at the umpiring. Of course, maybe there are no neutrals when the pies are playing ...

I hate being the hard luck team.
