At Least I Saw a Flag

His cards were marked when Hawthorn brought in Barass and Battle.

lol ... I went to that school ... about 100 years ago. Not fond memories really.

Mark of the year ... this year's should be renamed " 'almost mark' of the year". It wasn't a mark (Darcy) ... like Ablett Snr's spectacular 'almost mark' years ago.

Promising.

I don't agree with the 3-2-1 system. Often the best 3 players have played similar standard games, yet the 3 voter (usually the 'big name') gets the 3 votes. I think the votes should be weighted, e.g. 6-5-4, so that there isn't such a discrepancy/unfair weighting between the 3 vote getters. Shall I go to my room now?

Brisbane ... why thank you, thank you, thank you (said in Gomer Pyle style).

Yes, Croxton is OK. I also like the Corner Hotel ... last couple of gigs I saw there were Todd Rundgren and Thirsty Merc. Brunswick Ballroom is a good venue.

I saw The Damned at Northcote Theatre a year or 2 ago. Don't love the venue.

I can't believe that Garry Lyon still gets a commentary gig. His comments are the epitome of verbal diarrhoea.

Hey guys/gals, I am catching up with a friend tonight to watch the footy at a pub. I live north of the city, he lives south. What would be a good pub - CBD or Richmond - to watch the match? Thanks in advance.

Stadium won't go ahead. So neither will the Tassie Weevils.

Agree.

Filth, Puddy tatts & poos/wees in last 4. Could hardly be worse. I'm an MCC member but won't go to either match this weekend. And if the filth make the GF, I won't go to that either. I can't see Brisbane winning again this year with their injury woes. I've pretty much lost interest in the season. Which reminds me ... I need to cancel Kayo.

Agree with everyone else here. And yes, he WAS that good!!! One thing that no one else has mentioned was his bravery. He never shirked a contest despite his slight frame. RIP great man.

Three bands I cannot stand ... totally overblown/pretentious ... Journey REO Speedwagon Styx

Hate Hawthorn, but my hatred for the filth is off the charts. Is a 100 point margin too much to wish for?

Maybe, but Longmire didn't give anything away. Why should he? I suspect that Longmire will be offered the job.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Norf v Saints ... kicking skills abysmal.

Tommy Mac on Darcy, Turner on Naughton. If Darcy gets off the leash, swing Petty back onto him. He's got the height. Not convinced we're gonna win this one.

Bravo Dees, especially after half time. I presume we also won on 'expected score'? haha

Those commentators love saying "flyin' Ryan".

Rivers must have a harder head than Ryan. Ouch !!

Kelli Underwood ... doesn't know the difference between Fritsch and Rivers. Consummate professional.
