Just looked up Jared Rivers bio. One thing caught my eye. He got suspended for 2 games for striking Ben Dixon of Hawthorn. Big tick in my book.

Waiting for free agency. I think he is on next year’s list.

You are right.

Our next Captain if we got him. Would be brilliant. Heart and soul player.

They probably got Father/Son or Academy picks. Or traded out fair players for good picks to desperate clubs. Always going onwards and upwards. We haven’t had the draft capital from any of those sources. We have been over this endlessly. This has more to do with getting in some more high...

Battle grew up barracking for Hawthorn. Along with his family. I can see (along with the money) why that would be a major factor. And the childcare. Wonder if childcare goes in the soft cap? 🤔 Jack Higgins wanted to play for his childhood team. If I’d been good enough same for me. I understand...

Carlton missing quite a few. Which to some cheapens our win. But as Ross pointed out in his Press Conference, their midfield was pretty intact. And handy. Minus Cerra. Although I’m not sure about him. But we have a few out too. The much maligned King. I still think if fit he’s a gun. Henry has...

Terrible luck that…..

In the play that ended with Higgo kicking the winning goal, Hunter went through that pack and created a bit of a gap. He jostled Walsh through past the ball when Walsh might have killed or cleared it. No stat. But so important. And possibly unseen.

Good on you Tony. Great to hear.

It seemed to me that Hunter Clark played well. One boo boo I can remember. But he was in everything at one point when the heat really got going. Was scrabbling through the packs trying to get it to our advantage. Impressive. He seemed a busted high pick. But all is not lost. I think the last...

2537 Came up nearly 10,000 spots in the last couple of weeks. Won one of my GF’s. Wasn’t doing a lot different to the weeks I did badly. Luck plays such a part. VC and C choices are so important. Had a bad run for a few weeks. Mucked it all up. Suddenly got better in the last couple of rounds...

Not sure I’m enjoying reading Saints fans squabble about whether it was a good thing or not to beat Carlton. I was coveting a high draft pick (or picks) when our season looked lost. But the last few weeks have convinced me that winning and getting our culture and team spirit going is more...

1157/8 Little Nicky as C Was thinking I had too much money on the bench a few weeks ago. Heeney out means Freijah gets a run. Pou already in. Livingstone C again. Only in one GF but I might climb a few spots. Might get to 2,600 if there aren’t any more disasters lurking. Wish the season was...

My specialty is getting a birdie on 18 to just sneak under the ton. This feels the same. I’m with you. All a bit late. But I’ll take it.

1/372 C! Possibly my biggest ever VC to C score. Was a bit reluctant as Daicos has burnt me a few times this year. But I was running out of loop options later in the round. So it was a necessary risk. What a score. All is forgiven. Pity I am only in one major GF. I have 22 and a couple of E’s...

For some reason I keep an eye on Tomlinson. He’s been ok in most games he’s played. Was good against us earlier in the year with 110 SC points. Admittedly we were poor that day. Seems to have been the fall guy after losses for the Dees. Not getting on with May is no surprise. In our Backline...

Good to see you back Mowman. Still playing a bit of golf?

At least this year the trade threads are dominated by a compensation pick. In the past mythical trades have been the hot topic. Kelly, Boyd, De Goey, Whitfield and many other targets slipping into the dim and distant past. Virtually none came to pass. And we ended up getting players no one...

A couple of days ago I got a bit triggered about the prospect that IF Battle leaves we would only get a pick in the 20’s somewhere as compensation. On a Twitter exchange with St Neil he advised to see how it plays out. I have reflected on that and think that ‘what will be will be’. Might be...

That’s very sad news about Sam Landsberger. I thought he was a good journo. Not a muckraker, and seemed to work hard on sources etc. I tended to listen or read what he said. Tragic.

No.

Not much posting of late as we are travelling through the month of August. Trying to get into a position to watch the games but it doesn’t always work out. Saw the First quarter and a bit live, but then had to head out for a family occasion. In a disappointed frame of mind. Stole a few looks at...

2595 Best score of the year. Too late to be useful in anything other than rank. Eliminated already from nearly all comps. Up 6,000 spots which shows how far back I am. Even then I had 6 scores better than my VC score Neale. Too spooked not to take his 123. Although I think he got scaled down...

After a terrible year and all a bit late I’m finally heading for an ok round. In desperation I took Neale’s VC score. Been burnt too often lately. Was heading for a donut with zero trades but the Dogs picked Freijah, and put him on the ground. Next trick was having someone to swap him forward...

He said that last week at his presser as well. Would love more details on this.

Watched the game under pressure as we had to go out straight after the game. My Mrs nervous as she wanted me on good form. As it happened I was on extremely good form. Celebratory form. What a win. Hard to categorise it. But the bits I took out. Sharman unbelievable. Caminiti going to be...

I am loving this SOOOO much!

Finally Cooper Sharman is getting the love from the commentators! Things we’ve seen, but he’s doing it for longer. Great stuff.
