Johnson’s hardly been tearing it up. If we had him on the list instead of Chesser, people would be calling him a bust.

This does seem like the draft where having more picks will be advantageous.

Started getting headaches, which I never really had before. Don’t know if it’s age related but it makes me go to bed early.

I think the pick downgrade only works if it’s 3 to 6 and the Eagles feel you could throw a blanket over the kids in that range. It gets more speculative once you’re down to 9 or 10. If we think we’re getting a kid at 6 largely as good as 3, plus Baker, we’ll be doing alright.

Definitely more Rambo than Taken or John Wick. But, as I say, it’s got that Western vibe of a lone wolf arriving in town and getting mixed up in their power play.

Same, without fail.

Rebel Ridge… dropped without much fanfare but Netflix sitting on a bit of an action gem here. Has a modern Western vibe as Terry rides (literally) into a small Southern town only to run afoul if some corrupt cops. As a black man, there’s an immediate tension that is drawn out and the banality of...

If anything, we have assigned cars for certain tasks. Whoever is working from the office takes the more manoeuvrable sedan, person working from home has the 4x4 if they need to get somewhere. Kids activities is the 4x4 with space. But we both drive whatever suits, no car is assigned to either of us.

That’s how I’m seeing it. Most of the Hawks’ frees are there but then the Dogs aren’t getting the same paid back, the insufficient intent and throws being the most obvious. Dogs players also being pulled off the ball. Hawks all over them so probably wouldn’t make a difference but it’s noticeable.

Now we want the Hawks to make the prelims because then the cost becomes first and future firmest.

You thought I was suggesting no West Australian ever followed a VFL team? The majority didn't, I'm sure a few did, those that did may have followed clubs because of players that had represented their WAFL team. I could try and outline it easier than that but it may be in the form of a crayon...

How many Hungry Jack's franchises are we allowed to give him?

That's the point, we're not trading out of pick 3 without a guarantee of getting generally risk free proposition. Six gives us that. Why would we trade down to 9 when it starts to become a little more speculative. You may find pick 6 to be overpaying, in which case both sides walk away and we...

You don't think a South Fremantle fan may have followed Rioli's career with interest just because he wasn't originally from WA? Odd thought process. You think Eagles fans had no interest in Judd's career after 2007 because he's Victorian?

Correct, I never had a VFL team, don't remember many of my friends at the time having one either. Like you, it was the Cardies for me. And guess what, I still follow them.

Don't think either of us need to worry about how a player stands up under finals pressure at this point in time.

No, I watched the preview frame and thought this ain't for me. Only watched Beekeeper cause wife was asleep, knew she wouldn't miss it and thought it must be bare minimum OK for an action film to get a cinema release. So we are in the era of just naming movies after jobs? Reminds me of when I...

My kid's the same age and I just haven't seen it, outside a bit of moaning about the standard of umpiring (gotta teach the kids early). Mind you, I live south of the river, so maybe we're just classier.

Decisions Decisions

Richmond fans and the Victorian media seem to be placing a lot of weight on Baker being vice captain yet, interestingly, give it no weight in Tom Barrass discussions. Baker is a vice captain in exactly the same way as Barrass is a vice captain: oppo fans didn't even know until it was raised...

Also not a coincidence that Simmo was coach in 2018 and we won. Just facts, the both of them.

The Beekeeper... this was dire. Perhaps the most derivative John Wick knock-off to come out of the pipeline. Jason Staham is a beekeper, literally and as code for an unofficial group tasked with keeping the world (hive) safe. Only a few people have heard of them in order to be scared of them...

Look, I'm not a professional assassin, but couldn't you just shoot him from behind?

Would be the boldest coaching change in AFL history, Carr to take the helm on Monday.

And the Eagles won't give up pick 3 for pick 9, the downgrade is too big, no matter what the points tell you. Picks 1-3 come at an absolute premium because that's where the jets are. A downgrade from 3 to 6 is possible because the gap is less pronounced but you're still moving away from the...

If a near 100-point flogging in Geelong was enough to put a line through Schofield, a near 100-point flogging in Adelaide should put a line through Ken.

Never quite understand the argument that aliens make some people tune out of World’s End but zombies in Shaun is perfectly fine. I quite liked the story of trying to recapture lost youth and middle age malaise as the natural extension to Shaun.
