There’s also a Kolodjashnij at Geelong. Which is the better player?

Agreed - and much more than Carlton deserved given they deliberately bottomed out this year by the way they traded.

I think his fall from grace is more of an attitude thing than his ability to play the game. He kicked 5 in the win against Brisbane in round 2.

Judging by the way we regularly coughed up the footy last night, I would have to say we are f......d.

No, not that bad. When the AFL planned the new franchises it expected that Gold Coast would find it easier to recruit and retain players than GWS. In the end, it overcompensated and gave the Giants too much in the way of concessions. IMO, the AFL has to do something when one of its clubs can finish top four and then use the bidding system to turn picks 2, 10, 37 and 39 into 2, 5, 14 and 20. It's scandalous!

I read somewhere that Simon Goodwin compared Christian Petracca's attitude to training with that of Ricciuto and since we can't have two of them, I'll go with the Oliver/Dangerfield comparison but without raising any expectations of course ?

Congratulation WJ and co ... what's the baby's name?

This thread is named after a snake, isn't it? And, if so, should there be any discussion allowed on here about slimy reptiles?

Round 1

They say if you bat first in India then you don't get beaten often and a score of 380 at lunch on the second day looks solid. But do we have the bowling attack to get them out twice?

Don't tell me Kero Wilson was in attendance in Bay 13?

Could you at least spell my name correctly please?

You object to WYL & WJ's "partisan political comments" but not Redleg's which started them in the first place. Well, that seems to be a political statement in itself to me. Back on topic, my favourite part of Truth was Heartbalm. If those situations weren't made up I'll bear my proverbial in Bourke Street or New Orleans.
