FINALS 2022: Week 03
Cats v Lions is going to be pouring with rain and miserable.

Queen’s passing
Britain will apparently spend huge sums of money changing all the EIIR insignia to CIIIR. I'm wondering whether the British Post Office will become CIIIPO. 🙂

POSTGAME: SF vs Brisbane
Better change your name to 'Jaded Again'. 🤨

Queen’s passing
They had a 40-minute half-time interval where the players had to change their jumpers, wash their hands and comb their hair before meeting her. In regard to the Queen's birthday holiday, Queen Elizabeth's actual birthday was on April 21. However, Britain has a birthday celebration for the monarch in June with a parade that also marks the beginning of summer. That traditional date just transferred over to Australia, even if it's not summer!

Queen Victoria's birthday was May 24. That used to be British Empire Day.

My 3 word player analysis V Sydney
Sparrow was good. May absolutely killed Franklin and you pick on one error?

NON-MFC: Finals 2022 Week 01
Maybe we could stop the game for 10 minutes while we wait for everyone in the crowd to send in their videos! It could be like fans at home calling a rules infraction in golf. Obviously the ARC reviewer thought there was "conclusive" evidence to say that it was a behind. Otherwise they would have said "umpires call". They also probably have clearer and more accurate video in their centre than what is relayed back to your television, even if it is HD.

You could guess all those and still have a better than 50% chance of getting them right just based on player performance and likelihood.

FINALS 2022: Week 01
They won't have anyone to chase Freo out of the centre clearances. 😁

Kayo Replay Quality Query
Definitely check the speed of your internet connection, and the playback quality in the Kayo settings. You can set Kayo to SD, HD or "automatic" (which will take your internet speed into account). Kayo says you need 1.5mbps for SD and 6mbps for HD. I have no trouble streaming Kayo in HD on a 7mbps ADSL connection. I've got a Google TV (no Chromecast) I also have a 4G mobile broadband connection that is 40mbps during the daytime and a crappy 3mbps at night due to congestion. It won't work for Kayo on HD when that happens.

Farewell Luke Jackson
Which is immaterial if Fremantle's contract offer to Jackson, in years and dollars, is well above what all these other players would expect. The offer is what largely determines the trade value and bargaining.

Farewell Luke Jackson
Ryder is 35. He's retired from the Saints, and why would we think he could be good for us?

The Luck of the Draw
Would have thought the MCG is very much "taxpayer funded".

2022 All Australian Squad
Cripps as captain couldn't lead his team into a finals series.

The Luck of the Draw
I can understand teams will rise and fall, and the ladder positions will not be the same as they finished in 2021. I can understand the premiers getting a harder draw. But I can't understand teams like Geelong getting an easier one.

CHANGES: QF vs Sydney
If Salem is available and fit, you play him. No ifs or buts.

GAMEDAY: Rd 23 vs Brisbane
There's five of them isn't there? 😊

Clarko to Norf
Love the way he says we want to learn about what Geelong, Richmond and Collingwood are doing well. To find out how they can "turn things around", he's not going to ask us.

Clarko to Norf
Then why post something that no one would miss? A summary would be nice, comments optional, rather than a link you can't read. I don't subscribe to the Sun on principle.

I'd be saying "fast forward me to 2022"!
