Fellow Bay degenerates,
with the season well and truly underway the cream of the AFL constituents is gradually rising to the top, and the bona fide Premiership fancies are beginning to stamp their imprimatur on the competition.
The usual suspects in Hawthorn, West Coast, Sydney and Geelong all occupy the top lines of betting for the 2016 flag, yet only one of those teams has started the season off in truly ominous fashion - the undefeated Swans.
Hiding underneath the top liners is another team quietly going about their business, starting the season at 3-zip, have minimal injury concerns, are well and truly in their 'Premiership window' and are coached by one of the leagues most renowned and respected football tacticians.
Currently at an undeniably generous $13 for the flag, I present to you the irrepressible Norf Melbourne Football Club.
With their ageless and totally unselfish spritual leader in career best form, a key forward who has finally reached his potential, a veteran list infused with youthful enthusiasm and following extremely narrow Preliminary final defeats in each of the past two seasons the time is now for the boys from Arden St.
A glance at their draw indicates a run of almost certain victories in the coming weeks, all of which the Shinboners should start as favourites - it is certainly not outside the realm of possibility that Norf will enter the bye at 13-1, maybe even 14-0.
Norf supporters will probably rush in to play down their chances, but don't let them fool you - as we know they are well renowned for keeping their sangfroid when poked and prodded by the masses.
So floggerinos, surely the opportunity to back the Premiership favourite at a juicy $13 is an opportunity too good to refuse?
