I'm not a fan either, though to be honest I dislike the volume ads and songs are played at the G way, way more than songs after a goal. Does my head in. The issue I have is not so much having songs after goals as I understand the logic of making the game a fun event for families, it's the rationale for the decision. Typical AFL making a decision supposedly to benefit fans without, one bothering to actually consult fans, and two not even bothering to tell fans on what basis they have concluded fans want this. I mean where's the evidence this will make for a better experience, let alone increase attendance. The AFL have been gloating about tecord breaking attendances for years. And songs are not played after goals at most games. Hard then to argue something needs fixing. And give me a break it's for the kids - I doubt many kids are singing along with bloody Country Roads at the GABBA. It's all the crusty retirees and the mums and dads(who bybthe are the ones who buy the tickets to games for their kids)

One of my favourite albums is a Toots album from 2004 of duets called True Love. At the time I was still collecting CDS, almost exuslusivey from discount bins. I bought that CD (for $5) not really expecting much as late career duets of his old stuff seemed a bit naff. But it's terrIfic, with some awesome duets, including with Bonnie Rait, Jeff Beck, Manu Chao and Terry Hall (went back to jb hi and bought a bunch more as gifts for friends). It's mostly versions of old songs of his and reggae standards. But my favourite track is an outlier, a duet with Willie Nelson of a Willie song - Still is still moving me. One of my all time favourite covers (I love good cover songs):

It's why i only wear red and blue

Is King the right guy?

Nor has Latrelle - and I'd be shocked if he's not selected. That said can't see Heath being selected

Def an improvement on how we were travelling injury wise at Xmas. We've been lucky in post Xmas break as I think I'm right to say that Kentfield and Jeffo were the only serious injuries (fritters was minor) And I'm amazed that both Culley ad Mihocek are seemingly locks for round one and ready to roll.

Haven't heard it - the intern must have put it on in post. I'll talk to management (Andy)

Yep, good call. Will cover next week.

OP (Opening Pod)

Que?

For the south sides, perhaps the Casey- Dees double in Sunday? Good timing.

I watched the game too, ans agree. He was solid for sure, but he was fir us too in most games last season. But he doesn't look to have got any faster, which I reckon is his biggest weakness now. It will be interesting when Greene gets back as he's not super quick and the way footy is being played atm I don't think teams can carry more than plodder in the midfield.

I'm old school - I keep mine in the cupboard.

That's a good point about being able to also use Casey if we go to Waverley - given Waverley's location, and the fact its fight on the freeway it would be a pretty quick drive to casey

Fear not - I reset at 10am

Well that changes everything. Koz is 100% gone. If you think otherwise you not only have your head in the sand, you are in total denial. I think we should start a Koz is 100% gone thread and hyperventilate and panic all season. Pass me the lighter fluid so I can set my hair on fire, and perhaps a hard hard too to protect me from the falling sky.

You're accusing a poster of having their head in the sand because they don't mindlessly agree with your completey uninformed guess that Koz is out the door because you've heard a rumour he and his partner have split up and she gone to Darwin? Seriously?

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant with post you are responding to. Sheesh.

Yeah right, goody left the club in a mess. I forgot the coaches run AFL clubs and their boards, CEO and administration are purely figureheads, not the people responsible for running professional football clubs.

Did I say they didn't deserve praise?

Not sure I'd say really happy for him, perhaps happy. But otherwise reflects my thoughts exactly. One thing I will say, i couldn't get kayo working ans so watched Chanel 7. Good lord the praise for Tracc was way over the too- you'd think wes watched the greatest match played by an individual ever. And Blimey, also over the top praise for Suns too.

You can only laugh. Real, of course it happened to the Dees vibe.

Next Tuesday night. Go Redleggers.
