Top of the Ladder?
Neither the Deez or the Dogs are lay-down mesires this round. Would be completely unsurprised if both go 6-1.

Would you take Jeremy Howe back?
Would he be in our best 22?

Kate Roffey Set to Become President of the MFC
At least she hasn't come out and said we are going to "do" finals.

Welcome to Demonland: Jake Lever
Geelong gave up three first rounders for a 28 year old, downhill skiing, sook. Two first rounders for a 22 year old who was demonstrating everything we need at the club, both on and off field, was pretty cheap by comparison.

James Jordon Re-Signs Until 2023
I wonder if he'll end up being better than both, injuries notwithstanding. Injuries really cruelled Rigga and to a lesser extent, Andrew.

And if I were him, I'd be taking it!

Robbo
I watched the whole thing and thought Trac was marvellous in the face of mammoth idiotism. The gold was what happened next . . . Jack R explained to Slobbo how the game is played like he was talking to an eight year old with a learning impairment. The tragic irony was that Slobbo wasn't even ashamed. He had no idea Jack was laughing at his mindless vandalism of renaissance thought straight in his face. (Maybe I'll run into Slobbo at an AA meeting one day.)

Smith coached Brasso who coached Peter Giles who clocked Gary Pert in 1985 who became our CEO.

Players Winning Percentage in the Red and Blue
I met Clyde at a Grand Final function about five years ago and had a long chat with him. What a gentlemen. And he was in great shape. Always and forever a Deez man, followed us very closely and thought that our recruiting, playing style and coaching strategy with Roos back then was spot on.

Players Winning Percentage in the Red and Blue
If we had had two Pedos we would have been at 68 percent and firing.

Snow Joke
I'm usually in the south of France in April each year so my chalet is generally on loan to family and friends. I traded out of the Rangy 18 months ago (it was already a year old with 10k on the clock) and leased me the new Porsche Cayenne. I was a bit nervous when Covid hit that I'd have to keep it for three years, but as life is back to normal here in Brighton, I should be able to flip it in the usual 24 months. The partners in the firm are now on board with Charles and have stopped calling him Nieta. Oh, and what's this thing called a 'weekend'? (And well done number two Ol' Chap.)

What they’re saying down at Arden St
Bit rich coming from a mob that had no right to Carey and Longmire.

What they're saying down at Punt Road
Interesting coming from a mob with whom Ben Cousins and Justin Charles played.

What they're saying down at Punt Road
Kossi allegedly sniping is a bit much coming from a mob that gave the game Mal Brown, Neil Balme, Kevin Sheedy, Mick Malthouse, Jack Dyer, Robert McGhie, Alex Rance (eye gouger), Rex Hunt and Don 'Mopsy' Fraser.

POSTGAME: Rd 06 vs Richmond
Can we get three premierships out of this list? That's the benchmark for greatness over the last 20 years.

Christian Salem Re-Signs for 5 Years
With all these five year deals, I just hope Corda's not scrutinising our long-term salary cap arrangements.

Why do the AFL media insist on calling every player a star?
Me and me mates developed our own lingo to get around this linguistic challenge a coupla decades ago. We can thank the brilliant Jack Dyer for some of our terms. For example, 600 of the comp's footballers are what Jack once termed 'good ordinary'. (Jack of course used this term famously to describe the Buzz after he'd just kicked the goal the year and taken the mark of the decade. A bit like Donald Richmond Horne's "the lucky country" being misappropriated, so too have we deliberately misappropriated the term 'good-ordinary'.) Another Dyeism is "going alright". This describes a player who is in and out of a team, but is managing to hold his spot "at the minute". Any footballer who cheats (we all know who you are Geelong), are called "members of the Maffra".
