IF...................

Josh Kelly's dad had played 70 odd games for Collingwood I reckon they'd have made a massive song and dance about it predraft then immediately set about getting in his ear about heading back to Vic and playing for them.

..I kinda wish we worked like that. The kid is special, would love to know if we put any effort into seeing us as an option at the end of his initial 2 year contract.

Which incidentally was extended to 3 within a very short time.
Rubbish. They waited until he had finished playing his first game before offering the extension.

Be careful what you wish for.

Once you get there the pressure to maintain is immense.
The power will go to my head. ;)

I always hate when North play because I post a shitload and don't get a lot of likes. The rest of the week I post strategically in order to get likes. I'm obsessed with BigFooty likes.

I had another random thought today. It was not too many games back that many of us were thinking we got the better deal with Atley v Heppell.

I like Ats a lot but has Heppell left him for dead as a player?
At this point, its not even close.

I think Atley can close the gap again. As much as our ladder position is higher I think their individual players look better developed.

You could mount similar slightly concerning comparisons for Hansen-Hurley and Black-Carlisle also.

Any chance of someone from the AFL or the club sending Manuka Oval an updated version of our song? Disgraceful having to hear 'good old the roos' and 'the roos are on the ball'.
Mentioned this on the game day thread.

At the end of the game they played the correct version. See the AFL supports winners!

Loved him in Dead Poets Society and Good Will Hunting. Being Human was another I enjoyed.
I just loved him getting interviewed about anything.
His razor sharp wit could take the most mundane of subjects and make them hilarious - there will never be another comedian like Robin Williams.

Random thought, if we are privileged to have some of our senior players who have been on LTI this year return, should we be less critical if we see disposal/foot skill error's?

Other note, Williams was one of the best live performances I have seen. RIP
