All ready for tomorrow. We could well be on the bottom ...

All ready for tomorrow. I'll be at the game, but not expecting much.

OK, did anyone get hold of a dodgy $50?

It's interesting, all the outrage about this spelling error, but is it an accident?

I do know that in many security printing applications it's a very deliberate strategy to add controlled defects or mistakes to batches of currency or credit cards. They do it because counterfeiters will often remove those defects as part of the counterfeiting process in trying to make a perfect copy.

We seem to get a number of rather irritating byes, especially when we don't need them.
Again, this week.

Okay guys, Im doing this a bit retrospectively, but I think this will tell a story of itself.

Each week we face a new opponent, giving away a fair amount of experience, conditioning, proven AFL capability, and if some people are to be believed, coaching ability too.

In the face of that, I have decided to retrospectively, look at how many games we were giving away in terms of AFL experience, and seasoned ability at the level.

Interesting.

Next Saturday afternoon on the MCG at 1345.
Things do not look good. A team of clowns who could beat my dead Grandmothers with an idiot for a coach destroyed by 10 goals. That says a lot, and none of it is good. Not when we come up against one of the premiership favourites at their preferred venue.
Jones will definitely be out. Kreuzer is no certainty. Our defence has a lot of holes in it. We are applying very little pressure, while other teams try to rough us up and the umpires let them get away with it.
Not looking forward to this one.

I will not be happy if we can't get North beaten.

The thread is up for tomorrow. I really want to win, considering the duds beneath have won.

At least I should be able to vote this week!

You know the rules. Hope there is someone to votes for!

Remember:
[1] At least 3 players need to get a mention.
[2] No more than 10 votes for any one player.
[3] Give a rating of team performance. It can be anywhere from A+ to F.
[4] Votes must add up to 15.

Hope to see a lot of happy voters this week!

Great commentator, great fella.

RIP Mike. You were all class.
