Would get twelve weeks these days. Deservedly.

Was Steven King even reported for kicking Jeff White's face in?

Favourite Current Dee
Max, for lots of reasons, just ahead of Clayton.

James Harmes take a bow.
Kicks well, too.

Farewell Jesse Hogan
Nice point, but note that most style guides insist on a space before an ellipsis ...

What they're saying over at Roberts Road
To the privileged, equality feels like oppression. If you've always lived with outrageously favourable umpiring, fair umpiring seems incredibly unjust.

Training - Thursday 16 August, 2018
All true, but it's even more demoralising when l) the dinky pass goes astray or m) the player who marks the dinky pass misses a complete sitter of a set shot.

Training - Thursday 16 August, 2018
Oh yeah. Last week, f'rinstance, Salem had a good head of steam, crossed fifty, and then looked for a dinky pass. On one of Hunt's few dashes down the ground, same. Bang it home, son!

Six Demons in 22Under22 squad
Interesting. All our players on the list are midfielders. No key position players.

In Game Influencers
A bit of a surprise packet in this, especially in the second half of this year, seems to be James Harmes. When we're down, he consistently seems to dig in and try to break lines, throwing himself at tackles etc. Not always successfully, probably due to a ceiling on his skill level, but he does have a go. Tried hard on Sunday.

Umpiring v West Coast in Perth
I anticipate another bout of crowd sourced decision making.

POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 21
It's a sign that we're a team in transition, the way our players so often are caught between team rules and their natural instincts. How often did one of our guys storm past the 50 metre line and then think 'Oh no, that's right, I have to lower my eyes and give it off' instead of just banging it home? More experience, more confidence and they'll get it right.

Has Nicholls ever paid us a free?
Bizarre free kicks paid is one thing, but what's incredibly frustrating is the blatant free kicks NOT paid, all in the name of 'keeping the game moving'. A free kick given quickly and diligent enforcing of the man on the mark will make the game flow better than the stumbling maul it often becomes now.

Arrogant Swans Fans
One day, after we've won 6 or 7 flags in a decade, I'd like to be that arrogant.

What the Fritsch
I worry that we're moving him around too much. Would like to see him given time to settle in a position a little. Given that, he's still had an excellent debut season.
