I'd say Norf got what they wanted. Publicity.

As a long suffering supporter of this club, I will expect the worst and hope for the best.

I disagree, The day we sacked Norm Smith was far worse, and damaged the club much, much more.

Caused more by good ball movement from geelong than his mistakes. Also got outmarked by an opponent 10 cm taller than him. What really impresses me about him is his body use and reading of the play.

I particularly like that we were very efficient in the forward area. From limited opportunities, we were able to generate shots at goal from good areas. No miracle goals from the pocket. Inside 50 numbers were also severely impacted by there not being anyone inside 50 to kick to when streaming forward. When we actually have our forward line settled, inside 50 numbers will automatically improve.

Given that the last two times I was excited before a season were 2001 and 2011, I have learnt to temper my excitement, That said...

I once took an american visitor there (had a friend's two spare memberships - yes I have a friend who's a member of the floreat pica whatever) and took him into their members' stand. A group of kindly looking elderly women told me if I opened my mouth again I'd get a knitting needle in the eye - and so would the 'septic'. And that was during the reserves. True story.

More Ryan O'Keefe than Bambi

73% game time for 5 possessions @ 20% DE according to afl.com.

Absolutely right, BB, Just an old fashioned, hard nosed, blue collar defender. Not surprising that he's been a key member of two premiership teams.

Agree with this, but a notable improvement was that the inside 50's were, in the main, a lot deeper than in recent times. They were therefore more difficult for Richmond to clear easily.

Peter is a kind, caring individual who does a hell of a lot for ex-VFL players who have fallen on hard times. He also earns a fortune by being 'Crackers' in the media and at sports nights interstate. And I'm proud to call him a mate.

To quote the rooster before the game - 'we need him for the intraclub next week'

Sen just reported that the hammy will cost another 3-4 weeks

Will ASADA be there? In case the bombers decide to blitz themselves.

If you want spin, sit on a turntable.

Will tell you as soon as the tea leaves settle at the bottom of my cup

In order of hatred - bombers, blues, tigers, hawks, giants, maggies. The rest are just teams I want to beat.

Looking forward to Riv playing on young Jesse - assuming all forwards being available.

And if he's a Jordie Mac that can't kick, then he's Jordie Mac.

For the past 7 years, suckling at the breast of fantasy in the off season has been far more enjoyable than drinking the bitter milk of football reality.

That's the exact thought entering my head when I read MD's post. Pots and kettles?

Princes Park is 3.179 km. I ran the circuit for 12 years.
