Funnily enough, I don’t think Teague was a bad coach. He was certainly let down by his players against Port Adelaide in a performance that was their 186 and a few weeks earlier when they lost to North Melbourne when a win would have put them in the top 8. They have a list which IMO is on par with Essendon and Fremantle and is much better than Collingwood. It wouldn’t surprise if they settle down under their new coach (whoever he might turn out to be) and even made the finals next year.

Patrick Lipinski will request a trade from the Western Bulldogs to either Collingwood or Carlton later this month, according to the Herald Sun.

What have the Suns got to offer as a trade?

Just needs a touch of peroxide in the hair and it’s like watching Shane the year he won the 2000 Brownlow Medal.

The WA team with Taj Woewodin (number 14) named to play on the wing.

It’s incredible how, after Friday night and yesterday and the excitement we were treated to, today’s matches are boring.

Yep. In that case we do. For this week though, I’m happy that we’re in our original gear and the Lions west their anemic light colored strip.

Could possibly have been two draws for us if that (censored) umpire paid the deliberate out of bounds in the Adelaide game.

The Blues would have to be as kind in their farewell of Teague as they were in his first game as coach. Can’t see it happening because he’s lost the players.

Where did the little rat Scully finish?

My meteorologist mate from Queensland says it will moderate for the game but could get heavy later on.

The problem they have with picking Pendlebury is that he might be a bit underdone coming back early from injury. The same could apply with Hoskin-Elliot. They’re also coming off a 4 day break so they need every player at the top of his game. Ths weather could also play a big part with an expected wet track and strong winds.

Not so fast. First, we have to win on Saturday without our two ruckmen.

Keep it up Swanees!!!

Sure ... and 2020 hasn’t been a nightmare?

Not entirely. We needed an Eagle or two to be rubbed out for Round 1 and a Giant to go for two weeks.

Having one in the backline is more of a liability than one in the forward line.

Yeah, there was a secondary action but it was almost indiscernible and of negligible impact or effect and, as a result, no case to answer.

I can’t see North or Sydney having a significant role in 2020 other than as punching bags for the stronger teams. And Essendon and Geelong aren’t very impressive either.

It’s becoming more common among sportsmen ... Ex Melbourne forward Shaun Smith found to have ‘permanent incapacity’ has superannuation paid out early “MARK of the Century highflyer Shaun Smith has been paid out his superannuation a decade in advance because of crippling brain injuries suffered while playing football.”

Is there a difference between New Idea and the Herald Sun?
