Refreshed "Beat Collingwood" stat. If we can't knock out "Win at Etihad" and "Beat St. Kilda" this weekend, I might just give up on this club.

All year he's been caught under the ball but has done a good job of making a contest and in many cases still taking the mark. Yesterday Frost read him very well and simply didn't let Hogan get a sniff in a marking contest. He needs to learn how to break off from an opponent into space because he's struggled with that all year. But his effort up until mid-way through the third was good. At that point he dropped off. Soundly beaten but still a competitor. All we can ask, really. Frost worked really hard in that regard. Gotta hand it to him. He out muscled Hogan from the start.

I found Hocko! I Googled "Darren 'Hocko' Hocking" and came across this article: http://newsmediaiframe.westcoastsentinel.com.au/iframepages/iframeArticle.aspx?id=2603780 Googled Hocko's Mechanical and found this image: https://www.google.com.au/maps/uv?hl=en&pb=!1s0x2ab6a27bec94a1a3:0x40e613dc47889602!2m5!2m2!1i80!2i80!3m1!2i100!3m1!7e1!4shttps://plus.google.com/104613257735164278000/photos?hl%3Den%26socfid%3Dweb:lu:kp:placepageimage%26socpid%3D1!5sHocko%E2%80%99s+Mechanical+-+Google+Search&sa=X&ei=neZsVYvsCNP28QWtlYGoAw&ved=0CGQQoiowCw That's him. Looks like he lives in SA now. Okay I'll stop being a stalker now.

He sits in the AFL Members. I remember the guy with the light-blue hoody. I have the "Demon Attack" season review video from 1994 and he's always in the replays. He was cheersquad leader until 2000 I think, or thereabouts. Then when our cheersquad moved to behind the goals he had a small group in the Olympic Stand for a few games, then they disappeared.

Updated "Win 2 games in a row". Added games lost: after today's loss, 0-16 in games after we've won.

And who can forget that second 90+ point belting in a row! The beginning of the end.

The most impressive thing is that he has rarely if ever had a clear, direct pass to him on the chest on the lead. He often cracks it and teammates who bomb it in long or too short. Most of his marks have been contested which says a lot because once we get the decent delivery we at least know he will still make an effort to make a contest when there isn't an opportunity for a clear mark.

Richard Di Natale (news Greens leader) is a Richmond [censored].

Added "Win a final outside of Victoria". Really? I don't think it matters. We've had a few 5-goal bags.

Added "Beat Fremantle" & "Beat a Ross Lyon-coached team"

If he wants to go they'll need to seek a trade. Who would you want?

Freo will need to trade for him if they want him. We'll take Fyfe.

See I took it as him not wanting to be at Melbourne.

Titus O'Reily is definitely a Melbourne man.

Hit the post on half-time siren. Heart's not in it. Confirmed going to Freo.

Added Friday night, more so because we haven't played a Friday hight match for three years, and haven't won one for four.

Going to be a great player for a long time. Not sure he'll make that transition into greatness but he's the kind of player that will average 90-100 SC points his whole career. He's the second coming of Nathan Jones. Exactly what we needed. What a colossal [censored] up.

We were up for 50 and almost lost. 5 minutes into the last, my girlfriend asked if we were safe. "Yeah it's game over." Nek minnit...

Since 1980: 59 games, 14 wins, 45 losses vs Hawthorn

Added "Score 100 points". Before Round 1, we went 31 matches without scoring 100 points. Forgot that one! Added.

Added Adelaide.

Added a few more.

I actually hated writing it. I'm not joking. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Having won in Round 1 this year, we broke a decade-long record of having not won in the first week of the season. What other records are in dire need of being broken?
