Adjudication (Specsavers award)

Clean up the packs!
It’s an infringement free zone. Too much wrestlemania and head high contact.

Plus drop the man on the mark marionette farce.

Opposition hyperbole watch;

#25 overrated superannuant claim to fame? Swallowed the dog while supposedly on lollipop duty. 
 

Positive; pleased to see two metre Peter’s career on the (w)right trajectory impressive.

Overall comment;

Dees 2022 it’s another great vintage in the making.

Agree JB he can spray a few but some of his foot passes last night were terrific. Hit his intended target laser like  lace out. Massively impressed by his courageous return to the field and performance after being seriously ‘collected’. Given his history of concussion. It was a big hit.

Angus Brayshaw committed and courageous

Alex Neal-Bullen career best form

Adjudication;

Position vacant for persons of either gender who can competently interpret Australian football rules with equanimity. Being able to bounce the ball correctly would help.

Commentary team for this evening were not Rupert’s finest.

Overall;

Suns talented roster is on the rise but were unable to get over the determined but hot and cold Demons.

Looks like Collingwood have thrown down the challenge to Carlton to be March premiers. The juggernauts that they are. 

Mad as March hares! So the round 11 clash late May ⏰ decides it. Who plays the Mad Hatter? A resurrected Eddie noWhere or do they go to Melbourne General Cemetery and exhume Pig Iron Bob? Toss of a coin decides it.

Wasn't convinced with Hunt last week, I was by Smith but I guess we are playing GC who will be quite quick.

Empirical evidence suggests otherwise. Wonder boy didn’t raise a beep.

I love how little we have been mentioned in Mondays round reviews so far. 

If our guys continue to chalk up premiership points whilst flying close to under the radar that’s fine. All those below daylight can scrap like a superfluity of steroided seagulls seeking substance from Gill’s leftover cold chips. All amply illuminated by the media circus spotlight of course.

I don't know which is more impressive. His game or the bowl cut / mullet combo he's sporting

Question is who’s head rolls first, Sweeney Todd or Brett Ratten? Given the saints propensity for appalling haircuts and diabolical skills. Tim Burton should be co-opted to document the saints season with the working title “Nightmare on Linton Street”

Final summation

Demons too good, a champion team well drilled and resilient.

Great to be at ‘G again sharing our unique Aussie rules game with a terrific crowd. Congratulations to the club for organising such a heartfelt inclusive celebration with due reference to our rich history of triumph overcoming tribulation. Last night’s premiership flag ceremony was definitely one for the true believers. 
 

The match whilst played for just  home and away premiership points this time, was worthy of season opening status and a bona fide advertisement for our home grown game. Concur with what many of the previous posters have said about the team and individual performances.
 

After being challenged by a highly skilled bulldogs outfit in the second stanza our teams’ response was full of determined resolve. The reshuffled defence was not made up by a bunch of second stringers but largely filled with experienced cool heads who ‘tightened the nuts’ as the game wore on.
On this showing those guys waiting patiently in the wings will grasp opportunities when they arise. Expect skills including goal kicking to improve in the  coming weeks,  challengers and pretenders look out!

Your Top End correspondents will be in attendance this evening  Currently enjoying repast and beverage at Bellota Wine Bar. Premiership hangover? Hair of the dog?  Coiffured and cute but no bone. Hairdryers are getting a workover at Teddy’s saloon as we speak.

WJ in another earlier life one could see you Phil Spector like twiddling the knobs to produce another hit. You’d expect more fight from the dogs, but you can only judge this mob on their last outing. Clearly we had the Four Tops. Even ‘the Bont’ didn’t make the cut.

Reckon he just gave him a spray for taking the dive myself but hey .... Boo away.
All part of the theatre.

If Max tossed Daniels there would have been an outcry! Students of Mad Monday may recall the ignominy of a Tigers end of season event that created a media storm in the HUN teacup. The PC takeout?  Vertically challenged tossing ist verboten.Giant tossing? New season starts Wednesday 16th March. Gussies’ twin is salivating…

I like the man but Bevo’s got his Doggies confused with his counter revolutionary corporate mumbo jumbo of late…

Nothing wrong with trying to motivate the troops. It’s his job. List would be psychologically very flat. Even now… Bevo is just doing his best…

Understand Bevo’s motivation pulling out all stops to resurrect the bullies’ fortunes. But from this side of the fence, the message appears a trifle muddied.

After concluding his holiday  R&R  reset which including readings  ‘From the Inside’ , ‘Hits and Memories’ , 'How to Shoot Friends and Influence People’ and Das Kopit (an internal secret review published by the peoples proletarian committee for agrarian reform put more succinctly footy department).

 Is he channeling Che Guevara’s revolutionary zeal or Mark Brandon Read’s sensitive new age group think? In order to instill the “killer instinct” or "mongrel" that went missing so spectacularly in last season’s not so grand finale. And get back the bulldog bite?

We await further developments…  but we’ll know he’s serious if he trims his ears and joins the comancheros.

Carlton's performance while commendable was redolent of previous seasons promising much but ? mark on maintaining the rage. Though you would expect some improvement under Voss.

Game of two halves, second half reset showed more determination and spirit. Positives James Harmes unstinting efforts and Oscar McDonald's game on  Bayley Fritsch.

Backline slightly bereft without five of the premiership seven. Joel Smith and Adam Tomlinson battled manfully against the bluebottle tide. Baffled by the umpiring decisions? Conspiracy theorists blame the Scott Brothers.

Like these fast moving on the ball guys?

I watched Kayo.  Pic quality was good.  Camera work not fantastic.  maybe they were blooding some new camera operators for the coming season?  Anyway, was certainly better than nothing!  (Now gotta remember to cancel my 14 day free trial of Kayo...!)

Barry we don’t want Rupert to think south of the Murray expats residing north of the Tweed as teasers. Who knows you may get an offer you can’t refuse…

Kayo for $5 a month for an annum!

More concerned with the ad nausea replays of the game highlights made us feel a little seasick up here. Too much motion to contemplate. 

Is the Murdoch empire resorting to child labour or are Gibbo’s work experience kids using the viewing public as guinea pigs?
 

On very limited time Sam Weidemann’s cameo performance showed some promise ‘again’. Fingers crossed the stars align and the young fella finally gets a decent run at it this season. Ditto SOS.
