At the G watching the amazing Swans but the AFL experiment with metal posts and a magnetic footy has had a few teething problems.

Watching Hawthorn Melbourne on TV almost saw the worst thing I’ve ever seen at the footy. Narrowly averted. I’ll leave it at that but anyone else?

Eddie Magpie called Levi Casboult Levi Greenwood twice in the 2nd quarter. The other callers said nothing. Is it because? A) They are too scared of Eddie to correct him on air. B) They also think it’s Levi Greenwood or C) They tune out when Eddie has the microphone.

NRL might not be most Melbournians first sport but it’s time we all embraced the Storm. Tomorrow’s back page better not be some Nathan Buckley beat up or how Dusty owns the Cats. Surely it’s a pic of Addo-Carr mid flight and an article on the greatest NRL side of the modern era.

Now this question is from both the Saints and the Cats perspective : Are the umpires on strike tonight? Maybe they have downed the whistle as a show of unity for Hayden Kennedy.

With Highmore out and Dougal Howard most comfortable playing deepest tall defender, it appears that St. Kilda 2nd gamer Oscar Clavarino will get the job on Buddy. Gee, Human Sacrifice Round already! Before you know it’ll be cricket season.

If you’re fortunate enough to have Foxtel and ur watching GWS v Carlton I strongly suggest u switch over to Channel 502 NOW! OMG!!!!!!

Real likelihood of the Round 17 clash between GWS and Gold Coast moving to Melbourne. They should play the game at the Phoenix Theatre in Elwood. It’s got a capacity of 269, more than enough to meet the expected demand.

Just pointing out how crazy an AFL season is in this new reality. Actually there’s always been a bit of feeling between the AFL’s two ‘babes’ and I’d jump at the chance to see them play without having to go interstate. If it happens, I’m there!!

Canberra is in doubt because QLD and Victoria may well have closed borders with NSW at that time. If that was the case both clubs would be out of action for at least a fortnight

Pre-season who would have imagined Highmore, Byrnes, Webster, McKenzie and Dunstan being amongst the best in one of the Saints best wins for years? Funny game football! BTW, beating the Lions in QLD with all the boys chipping in is a perfect birthday present. Happy 50th Ratts!

Basil Z pre-prepared his line for an iconic sporting moment yet still got it wrong. “To become a legend, you have to beat a legend”, is just not true. Who did Kate Ledecky beat to become a legend? Who did Winx beat? Floyd Mayweather? Sustained brilliance is what makes a legend.

Statement issued by the Chief Health Officer of Victoria, Prof. Brett Sutton. “In the match against Carlton on Friday night, it was pleasing to see all St. Kilda defenders social distancing in accordance with the Victorian State Government directive.”

I’m not proud of it, but after bingeing on the Olympics for 10 days straight I realise that with the exception of Australia, USA, Canada, Great Britain and France every national anthem sounds exactly the same to me. Before you tear me a new one have a listen to a few.

The Ben Keays to the Bombers has nothing to do with Roco. It’s info I received but it has been hotly denied by the Crows, and Keays is contracted so that’s where it ends for now. Apologies to anyone whose nose has put out of joint and congrats Ben on a breakout season.
