Our song certainly isn't good but have always believed of the traditional clubs Carlton has the worst of all.

It was pleasing that none of Cody's six goals last week were from staged free kicks. He got one goal from a free if I remember correctly for tackling and receiving a holding the ball.

That was why during the finals I was hoping (and pleased) we didn't have to play them - although part of me wanted to play and finally beat them in a final. The 1990s we always seemed to play them in finals.

Geelong have owned us longer than the 'Bevo era'.

As it is on the AFL's own website I would suggest it was cobbled together by the AFL's PR team as they quickly go into damage and brand control.

I suspect his heart never really left the 'dogs. At the final at the 'G in 2015 Vs Adelaide I sat several seats in front of Jones who was sitting with the non playing 'dogs and was vocal in his support during the game, even though he was at the time a Carlton listed player. I may simply be...

Hopefully there is a plan for Tim Kelly this time.

Melbourne Football Club have their own issues with this - hence going out in straight sets the last two final series.

This might be very well true, as I have no 'mail' to the contrary, but it would surprise me only due to my belief (which could be untrue) that Ratten and Bevo are friends.

I remember in Cooney's first year we were playing Geelong and Kane Tenace (I think pick 10) was playing well and Geelong supporters near me were chanting 'Where's Cooney?' They would have disappointed wives/partners.

They wanted to do something but still be able to tell Richmond and Carlton they would play the Round 1 opener. Crazy stuff and treating supporters as fools.

You don't have to be lightning quick if you are super elite in other areas. History is littered with examples - Bont (as mentioned), Pendlebury, and I am old enough to remember Greg Williams. He is probably quicker than these three. Obviously time will tell with Sanders, and it will be great to...

Is it a good or bad thing that we play a team who played the week before in round 1? It will be interesting to see the results from all games of those who started the week earlier Vs those the week later. I know it's an inexact science but being at the start of the season makes it different to...

It was enjoyable to listen to, and Roughy was so open in this interview. I found the performance anxiety point most interesting. I also subscribe to his mark after the overturning of JJ's 'goal' as a most pivotal moment in the Grand Final. One point was I think in the interview they said...

Dalrymple has just gone to St Klda. Wasn't there an issue with Bevo & Dalrymple after a particular draft? (Maybe over Gowers) Not 100% on this.

I have been going to football for over 40 years, mostly to Bulldogs games exclusively, but also to other non Bulldogs games with mates, and also to finals. My brother and I went to the final at Waverley in 1995 when Paul Salmon was booed off the ground, in a final Essendon won. We looked at...

One of my absolute favourite definitions of Essendon supporters (and is known to cause upset) is that they are like Collingwood supporters but without the sense of humour.

Yeah especially in a Sydney game I think.

Pre season game in Launceston - Sanders home town. Great for his family if he plays.

Macrae, I believe, has a high football IQ and is still great leader on the ground

I understand people wanting to move on from the wasp discussion, but to just add one more thing for people to consider. Martin Bryant used the term 'wasp' at Port Arthur before murdering 35 people. It is believed he was referring to the many mostly Asian tourists who were there on this day. A...

The Dogs were of a similar belief, that after about pick 15 there was a huge drop off, so they didn't really have their heart set on anyone from a later pick.

Mail:Sanders was the player they wanted. Wanted to get Croft no earlier than pick 15. Opinion: Essendon saw this as payback for taking Tory Dickson in the 2011 national draft.

In one word or less 🤔😜🤣😂

I might go with Harland.

My mail is exactly the same as this, but not only Bevo unhappy.

I hear Bedendo will be offered a contract.

O'Donnell keeping his place in the team....playing in the backline in JJ's place. That's my mail anyway.

This might be some of the reason for the biased commentators but my take is that Brown & Bucks are mates with Voss and know he has been under the pump so want him to win. Either way unprofessional and simply not good enough.

Sorry I hope this doesn't come across as righteous or arrogant but its a bug bear of mine, (I know I need to get something to worry about) and every second commentator in the AFL makes the same mistake. The word 'laconic' means some one who uses very few words, unless it has another meaning of...
