As a kid I used to go for Collingwood. Now I've had a gutful of them! On Friday night, why did they ruin my weekend? They're so slow. Sometime you have to line up Paul Licuria with signs to see if he's actually moving.
Nathan Buckley's turned up and said he wanted to play and they wouldn't play him. The greatest Magpie of all. The greatest fledgling in the nest. He's only 35, give him a game straight up.
They'll finish out of the eight. I don't think they can beat Melbourne but something's got to happen.
What about Eddie? It's the worst year God's ever had for Eddie. He was thrown out of Channel Nine (now he doesn't have the No.1 car park) and his beloved Pies are going out of the eight.
Who can make the eight? Who cares! Geelong have won the premiership. I watched them on Sunday, they are unbeatable.
There's going to be the big four down at Geelong this year. The Cats will win the premiership, the reserves will win the VFL, Joel Selwood will win the Rising Star and Gary Ablett will win the Brownlow. And the Geelong Falcons may even win the TAC Cup too! Who wants 8th, 9th and 10th spot? I don't care.
The only team that can ruin it for Geelong is West Coast, who are starting to flex their muscles a little bit now.
Poor old Mark Blake. He led the rucks all year for Geelong, and after 18 games they just walked in and said 'don't take the boots out of the bag today, son'. Two positions don't go into three and Steven King, my protege, was back in form. Mark Blake could be gone.
One thing we found out is that Jason Akermanis has got the biggest mouth in football and he just doesn't deliver any longer. He was a bit jumpy over the weekend when that Byron Pickett was running around saying 'I'm gonna be here for David Neitz's 300th'.
Adelaide Crows, they're gone. They're finished. And of course Essendon, well they can just enjoy themselves now. I think that they should put Sheedy in the back of the sheep truck at the end of this football season and do a lap of the country, just decked out in a Bombers outfit and streamers. And make sure you beep the horn as you're going past. When he wants to have a rest, get a look alike to play the part in the truck. They owe it to him!
Anybody out there wanting the Carlton job better ring Brett Ratten because he's got the job I believe.
