And that song Calling You from Baghdad Cafe is so good! Another film from that era was the Coen Brothers effort, Raising Arizona.

I suppose that’s a possibility, but if you look at the list of minor premiers in recent years, they more often than not, do not become premiers. Even Richmond failed to win the premiership in the year they were minor premiers (recently).

If you’re implying that 3rd and 4th will be occupied by Brisbane and Port in whatever order, then I’d prefer we finish 2nd in order to avoid the added (mental) pressure of the expectations that go with being minor premiers.

Not to mention that by playing the Dogs next weekend, we are saved a trip to Darwin in the energy sapping humidity. If anything, we should be much fresher for the game. Also, if the Suns game is shifted to round 20 and is still in Darwin (lockdowns and border closures permitting), hopefully we would head directly to Perth and spend the week there preparing for the Eagles game in round 21.

I bet you said the same after the Adelaide, Collingwood, and GWS games ??

When your team has gone 9-0, those kinds of predictions were just as, if not more, warranted as yours, particularly as we had beaten a number of teams expected to finish well above us. Also, after each loss to a lowly team, we have come back to defeat a top 8 team, so why wouldn’t people believe we can finish top 4.

Who did you predict to win last week against Port? Who did you predict to win against the Dogs and the Lions? I may be wrong, but as I recall, it wasn’t us. Yep, you’re a genius.

Knee jerk lockdowns? What we now have in NSW is a direct result of NOT having a knee jerk reaction… I know what I’d prefer. I’d say that rather than being a knee jerk reaction, Vic and WA responses are a result of hard lessons learnt.

Fair enough; I didn’t have any issue with your opinion of him as an individual, but thought your targeting of his abilities as a player were way off the mark.

They are linked by the fact that none of them have anything in common… at all… in any way… nada… nothing

That’s being generous!

You don’t watch a lot of games other than Dees games, do you.

Yeah, that’s right… he only kicked those six goals and played a brilliant 300th game, because he wanted all of the attention ??. What a ridiculous comment! The guy is an absolute star!

Yeah! How dare they request that their home game be played at their home ground!! ???

I’m pretty sure we had one Bunnings store here in Sydney, listed as an exposure site a couple of weeks or so ago.

They are all drummers: B: Earl Young Mickey Hart Buddy Rich H/B: Phil Collins Travis Barker Moe Tucker C: Chester Thompson Elvin Jones Ginger Baker H/F: Pete Thomas Charlie Watts Cosy Powell F: Matt Cameron Max Roach Chad Smith R: Thomas Lee Clem Burke Mitch Mitchell I/C: Bill Ward Art Blakey Roger Taylor W.S. ‘Fluke’ Holland

I’m pretty sure that they were only available at the start of the season.

As someone residing in Sydney who paid for the GF Guarantee for my son and myself, I’m wondering what will happen if borders are closed and we cannot use them. It’s a bit of a worry.

I remember at one point in the telecast, they showed a guy with a kind of flame thrower, melting the ice forming on the concrete standing area as it was considered hazardous.

At the Shanghai, China game, I got to meet and chat with, at various times during the day, Lynden Dunn, Aaron Davey, Max Walker and David Neitz. A nice bunch of people.

Didn’t I hear one of the commentators last week say that Bedford is probably the number one small forward in the VFL? If that’s true, then I would expect them to persevere with him for a bit longer.

No one thinks that having Brown in the forward line has led to the mids kicking into the forwards with more confidence? The difference between this week and last week against GWS was chalk and cheese.

Maybe, but that 50 to give Kozzie a goal was not there. I thought they were off right from the start when they paid a mark when the ball traveled maybe 8m at best.

Do you ever comment on anything other than the umpires? They have been incompetent, yes, but not solely to the benefit of Port.
