"Lazy" would be mine...nice take on a minor blues.

Deep Purple...

Gram Parsons - The Byrds

He will coach somewhere next year...my guess is the Hawks will lose their nerve and transition Clarkson out & Mitchell in. Their hand has now also been forced. Clarkson will be at either Carlton or Collingwood. Lyon will take the other job. ...but if either of them (Carlton or Collingwood) go with Mitchell, an untried coach then interesting times. Carlton couldn't go with another untried, unproven coach could they?

I love the media frenzy now, all trying to be relevant. Ryan & Niall beat them to the punch, got the scoop...well done to them. Stevo a long way back treading in quicksand...waiting for Browne and the rest to pile on.

..or maybe Clarkson. There is little doubt that Carlton have spooked them.

Maybe they will 'A F' but as we are the better team if we put in equal commitment we should win. The danger was we might underestimate C/wood or be off our game coming into this one. With this development we now know what they're going to bring and can step up to match it. Of course it could also deflate them and they bring nothing. Going to add an extra interest to the game.

Not getting a game 'A F', worth a look?

Their list is pretty good, they've got the backbone of a good side. Made some bad decisions I think in overpaying for 2 half back flankers and that could come back to haunt them when having to stump up the cash for Cripps and McKay. Plus they missed some really good players in the draft. They seem to be succumbing to knee jerk pressure from the media and by extension the fans. Collingwood were the disaster club last week, Carlton this week...who's next. If they take the emotion out of it and look logically they are pretty well set. Funny that they went with an untried coach when they said they wouldn't go down that path. Again they went the popular path (Teague winning a few games) instead of sticking with their better judgment. Do they change the coach or give him better support. I honestly hope they make the wrong call whatever it is. The media rubbish about the competition needing a strong Carlton doesn't wash with me.

I think this is our best chance in my living memory 'dazzle'...I was too young when we won our last flag so I only really remember the names more than games...As a kid jumping on the train with a mate we headed all over Melbourne to the suburban grounds, even down to Sleepy Hollow. My early hero's were Hassa Mann, Stan Alves and Gary Hardeman. '87 was the sentimental team for me after all those years in the wilderness and then of course there was Robbie. This team is better balanced than any of the others you mention. It's time...

He can have a week off after the QB game. Was important tonight, some significant involvements.

If we played the Saturday night I don't think we would get to the 50% crowd (50k)... The army of frontrunners are not turning up.

Daisy's up for it, 'picket's' not... Which way do we go? 'picket' you would hope Daisy would be on top of any issues. I would be prepared to back her (Daisy) in.

One of the great voices, George Jones...

Good, now Harmsy has a job for the night...

The cost should be similar to Hibberd, Melk, Langdon...as you say a 2nd rounder, or commensurate trade. They always paid overs...and for 2 of them.

There are some high points on that album but few and far between. Just didn't work more's the pity...the old football adage of a team of champions v a champion team comes to mind. Found this earlier today from the show I went to, morphs into "Slow Turning". Funny some of the things you remember but Hiatt's facial expressions when he's selling a song always stuck with me, a magic live performer.

More like..."if someone offers a free room for the night in an Adelaide Hotel...run".

Even if we could get 100% capacity into the 'G' I don't think we would get a big crowd anyway. The crowds have been down here for number of reasons, mainly COVID related. Besides which C/Wood are playing like busted's and their army (lol) just won't show up. C/Wood fans are a bunch of downhill skiers. Maybe it would be a blessing to move it...

It's looking like the natives are getting very restless so my call may not be correct. They want a say and not a backroom deal. How powerful are the membership? all clubs talk the talk, I'm not sure any including ours actually walk it. It's going to be interesting watching how they handle this.

A bit of lockdown music to kick off the day. I first saw John Hiatt supporting Robert Cray at the concert hall around '91 I think. What a charismatic performer (not to mention great writer), I had never heard of him before this show and was hooked from the first bar. As for Robert, well a little bit underwhelming to be honest. Hiatt was the star of this show & a hard act to follow. The new album with Jerry Douglas is a cracker...by the way, is that a "whammy bar" on Jerry's dobro? Enjoy!

My guess is there will be a "peaceful", hand over of power. As much as we & the media would love the turmoil of a special AGM, I can't see it happening.

I had no inside knowledge but have been pushing this for a while now. Pies will need to get in a good draft position and Maynard is one of the few chips they have. He would be perfect fit in our defence.

...and he's been trusted to take some of the kick outs even from his first season/game. It doesn't hurt having mentors like Lever, May, Hibberd & Jetta around the club. How things have changed.

I hope you are right... Why probable...I think there may be a lot more in the incubation period. I hope I'm wrong.
