Yeah, I think there'll be a bit of a readjustment over the next 12 months or so and we'll see the UP's and CP's even up a bit. But I like how we started with an emphasis on CP's under Roos and now the UP's seem to be the focus of Goody's. Once our ball use develops, we'll be really hard to beat, in the Hawthorn model, because if it continues, we just won't let the opposition have the ball.

And that Casboult would be their only goal scorer. Ah well. Let's hope they still lose by 100 points.

It's more that he had trade value. What will they get for him this year now?

And they haven't built a midfield. Should have traded Gibbs last year and they should be blooding midfielders now around Murphy and Cripps.

Yes they would. The FD obviously thinks Viney can play with his injury, so he can certainly train with it.

Disagree, mate, but each to their own. As for Carlton, they're playing a side as young as our blokes, but are nowhere. It shows the gulf between our list and Carlton's and we're not even challenging for the top 4. I'll say it again. Carlton are in big trouble.

No. We lack leadership. We have plenty of grunt.

He's a good player, having a great season. Limited decision maker, but tough around the contest. We don't lack grunt. It was just an opportunity to imply we stuffed up the Wines v Toumpas draft again. Let it go.

We don't lack grunt... I know you like complaining, mate, but we've got plenty of Wines' type. We need more diversity in our midfield makeup if anything.

They're at least 5 years away from challenging. As soon as Murphy and Simpson retire and Gibbs nicks off to Adelaide, they will get pummelled regularly. Curnow looks okay, but I wonder about his size for a KPF. Marchbank looks like he reads the play well. Pickett and Petrevski-Seton look nippy. Weitering is class, but is being played forward, because they're ordinary forward. If they end up being another 3-5 years from even challenging for finals, Cripps will leave and then they're [censored]. I hope that happens. Hate Carlton with a passion.

But they have SOS recruiting. They've got no hope. He's useless.

They have form. Not much of their team has changed since it was true, so I'm happy to stick by that call.

Going by the current score, I reckon they'll win by 60+. They just have to be more efficient with the ball and as the young blues tire, they'll run all over them. Port are a bunch of down hill skiers.

Aside from Cripps they've got no young midfielders coming through. Their spine is okay, but they're in a bit of trouble. I still think Carlton are exactly the type of club to go out and try and get Clarkson, thinking he'll just win them multiple flags. They have a bigger messiah complex than us.

Gee, Wines is still an ordinary, ordinary kick.

How were Maclure and Eddie complaining about the white Carlton jumpers pre-game? They said that Carlton shouldn't have to change jumpers and that the home side Port, given Carlton's 150 year history, should have to wear an alternate strip. The sheer arrogance gives me the absolute shits. Melbourne is the original club and we don't crap on about all this rubbish. Collingwood have been irrelevant ever since Malthouse's last season and Carlton have been a basketcase for years now. These clubs should realise no one gives a [censored] about what they did years ago. They're bog ordinary nowadays.

It was a big coup. I think McCartney was a coup too, but each to their own.

Had no idea one of the old CGS boys was a coach at Richmond. Great little video though. Our website would struggle to put together a video that was as exciting about us as that. Haha.

Adam Sandler is their most popular performer on Netflix. Crazy. Although Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore are masterpieces, I maintain.

Netflix are demanding all their productions are shot in 4K, even their docs. Shot my ABC series last year in 4K. The amount of hard drive space required is ridiculous, but it allows you to punch in on certain shots without losing much of the picture. 4K sport will be incredible. I still have SD Foxtel on an HD tv, so I never get this experience.

Yeah, this week is not going well, is it? An error a day just about. Even the MFC Goals from Round 4 were out of sync.

All I know is that I pay over seven hundred bloody dollars for my MCC membership and I still have to pay $10 to guarantee me a seat on Level 1 this week. It's a disgrace. In case it hasn't been said anywhere, I know a couple of people that work in the MCC and they're expecting 80,000 at Monday's game, so get your tickets now while you can.

I went away on a trip to the States in December-January this year. I walked around in the sun without sunscreen on for about 4 hours one day in LA. Didn't get burnt at all. I came back to do a bit of coaching in February in Melbourne and was out in the sun for about two hours and got completely burnt. The hole in the ozone in the southern hemisphere is insane. The UV is usually very high in Melbourne as a result. Sunscreen is a must if you're out in it three times a week.

Where did Maynard play in Round 1? He seems to have a very similar physique to Petracca. With his basketball background, his agility is certainly exciting. His brother is improving (for mine) at Collingwood too. I wonder where they'll look to play Corey at Melbourne.

Fantastic that he appears to have beaten it. He was getting high, high praise on AFL 360. Slobbo kept banging on about how he could easily be a Head Coach one day and David King credited him as being the person responsible for our Demon Diamond.
