Job done and we keep Soldo - not too shabby

I love that Dusty has been relegated to a 'depth player'. Wait till he hears about this.

Wednesday evening, a 'great' of the game who is interviewed to return to the club where he oversaw arguably the most disgraceful episode in the history of the competition, and there's a couple of stories up about it in the morning - basically last night's headlines waiting for something new to...

Boy, maybe I should just keep my mouth shut.

Bont or Cripps. Don't think any of the others would be worth the salary.

It may sound stupid, but I think Stack's 2020 is probably the best thing that could have happened for his career. There was going to be a blip at some stage or another and I'm glad it's out of the way early, in extraordinary circumstances that saw it highlighted, and in a season where it didn't...

If COVID comes back the Cats could be wiped out.

How about Peter Wright for Oleg Markov? Not a big fan of two-metre Peter but maybe in the right environment ...

But even with the Giants suffering a lot of injuries he still had three or four of Whitfield, Taranto, Coniglio, Kelly, Greene and Hopper around him, and all in good form, which can make life a lot easier for a second stringer, ie: Des Headland at Brisbane compared to Des Headland at Fremantle...

None of these (or any in the VFL/AFL argument) are really 'dynasties' at all. By definition it requires a 'hereditary line of rulers', or in AFL terms, a continuation of success through a large changing of personnel. Successful clubs (over 3 - 5 year reigns) tend to have little change in the...

There's no asterisk either way no matter who wins - 18 teams, one premier, same as every year (well, since 2012 at least). Some clubs may have done it harder than others in 2020, and the Tigers could have a case, but that just highlights the MCG grand final deal every other year.

Second worst free kick differential this year (slightly better than the last few seasons) and half a dozen behind Port last night, but again it was our 'favourable treatment' from the umpires that got us through. Gotta love some people's passion for their team as reflected by the hate for...

Most valuable? Balta, Bolton, CCJ, RCD, Graham.

ha ha ha ha

"It's a known fact, you can't deny it"...

Which means there's bugger-all else to do in Adelaide.

You don't remember the games at Etihad? Really? Not one of them? Not even maybe round six, 2007? I remember it ...

Wowee, where does one start? It was Geelong's home game, so crowd size reflects on them, not Richmond, as very few of those 95,000 members have access to away games in their membership. Of the 23 home and away games this century between the two clubs only eight have been played at Richmond's...

Ha, definitely not what I'm saying. Just trying to keep things (vaguely) accurate.

Both played round five v Adelaide (Hannebery 18 disposals, Buddy 11 disposals one goal) Both missed rounds 6 to 8. Both back round nine. Same time frame.

Maybe the 1900s, but I think the Cats poster meant this century.

Why don't people question Hawthorn's three-peat? In 2014 they beat Sydney in the Grand Final at the MCG - the Hawks' home ground - despite finishing the home-and-away season behind the Swans. In 2015 they beat West Coast at the MCG despite finishing the home-and-away season behind the Eagles...

Actually from '95 onwards, Carey's third season, the Kangas' win-to-loss ratio was better when he wasn't playing.

Can't focus on something if you can't see it.

Got to admit they've surprised but haven't played a 2017 finalist yet (good work against the Hawks though). Next four weeks are Port, Sydney, Richmond and GWS. Win one of those and it's impressive, win two and it's massive.

I've got a feeling Georgie Castagna is going to be a little surprising, in a good way.

Yeah, sure.

A flag?

Probably made worse by the fact Grimes was pick two in the pre-season draft.

What about Sean Darcy? I reckon the kid is going to be amazing, and he's likely to get a fair crack at it if Sandi misses a lot of games again.
