Ladies Lounge / Re: CW
I started to get bored, so I was rolling through the vision in fast forward.

It was a blessing not to have the commentary and "special" comments...

The thing that struck me was the rebounding out of our forward 50 - did we win one contest going forward?  (or did it just look that way in fast forward...!!)

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Who of today’s 22 is playing their last game for the club.
Jack Silvagni might struggle for a game next year as well, he showed promise early on but he's flatlined, doesn't get much of the ball, lacks a yard of pace and his foot skills are nothing special.
Hopefully Ben is a better player.

This is the awkward elephant in the room...

Does Jack deliver enough for SOS to suggest going back to the Silvagni family well...??

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Post Game-Carlton v Collingwood
I thought, after the game, that it was unusual to have 3-2-1 going to the side that lost by 20 points. 

I was wondering if the Pies were more even across their team...

Cripps, Simmo and Curnow were absolute standouts.

I also thought Collingwood looked spooked coming off after the half time push & shove.  Treloar could hardly get words out during a quick interview, looked very upset.  They were looking like "the hunted".

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: 2018 Rd 4: Post Game Pain: Carlton vs North Melbourne
Here is a big part of our problem:

Sam Docherty      Season
Jarrod Pickett      10 weeks
Ciaran Byrne      3-4 weeks
Tom Williamson      3-4 weeks
Darcy Lang      Test
Cillian McDaid      4-5 weeks
Caleb Marchbank   4 weeks
Matthew Lobbe      4 weeks
Alex Silvagni      2-3 weeks
Murphy                      Who knows?
Kennedy                    Who knows?
Kreuzer                     Who knows?

That's nearly half of our best team is unavailable and won't be available for at least a month.

Strap yourselves in for a rough ride and see how we look at the end of May.

Thanks for all your kind words everybody!

I'm currently run off my feet with orders, which is very flattering...

Elwood, I do know Jim Babour (lovely bloke) from when I was invited to Swinburn to talk to his radio classes.

Baggers, what a wonderfully small world.  3GG rocked, back in the day!!

"For The Record: Australian Pop Culture 1964 -2017" was finally published today.

It covers the facts, figures and fun that made the soundtrack to our lives.

And I cover the success of Carlton a bit too!!
