Cinderella's Big Score is 30.30.210. A long time ago it was the record score in a VFL match. This was a different age, when the rules of the game were immutable, the fixturing was orderly, and even things like record scores had a nice, memorable symmetry about them. Melbourne was its own self-contained universe, like a fairy tale kingdom. Cinderella's Big Score is also a song by Sonic Youth about disillusionment.

Reid can wear black and white on Brownlow night. As a Collingwood supporter, I would prefer to see him stay with the Eagles. We already have a young superstar to build a team around. The Daicos brothers, Moore and De Goey are all on lucrative long term deals. If you add Reid to that, it leaves very little money for the supporting cast, and that is not good strategy. It’s not like we are Manchester City in the EPL – the talent needs to be spread around.
The key No.1 draft pick stat that proves everyone - especially West Coast - needs to calm down about Harley Reid
There is an incredible Jim Carrey lookalike in the current season of Survivor.

I don’t care about the stats either. I prefer to back my own eye. Reid passes the eye test. I think trying to project value into the future is a job for the clubs, Reid and his management. They will work it out. I would rather live in the here and now and enjoy watching the kid play.

A lot of injustice occurs under the current system. Using suspensions as the primary form of punishment exacerbates the problem.
The key mistake the AFL keeps making in its attitude towards high contact
I was living overseas 2000-2003. I must have missed him. I’ll take your word for it.

Yes, he played for both. I saw him play for Geelong. Not very good. Sort of a poor man’s Craig Stewart.

Dirt on channel 7s management, whatever could you mean? 😂 😂 😂

Joe Richards needs a go too. It is still possible to make this year something like the Cats last year, preparing for a quick rebound. Take the opportunity to get some experience into the best of the younger players, and ease out some of the older players. We cannot afford to just let them all take a victory lap, or we will end up like Richmond. Sidebottom needs to make way this week. Ash Johnson’s situation is interesting. He played well in defence first half, then moved forward second half and looked a lot more confident, kicked a couple of goals. McInnes was disappointing. I just get the impression that our VFL team is very difficult to play in because they have a lot of ordinary players. If Joe Richards gets a shot in the seniors he will look an even better player, with good players around him. Every time he touches the football good things happen.

Who is Hasleby? Was he one of the James Bonds?

He played for Port Adelaide.

Or just stop adding more and more complexity to the rules. There is too much micromanagement, too many attempts to engineer outcomes.

Most of us are old age pensioners 🤢

I have discussed this previously; the theorem of inverse officialdom, whereby the more umpires that you have on the field, the fewer the number of free kicks that get paid.

I was going to click like, but I draw the line at capital punishment. 😁

Not a criticism, just an observation.

He has a good record against Collingwood (if that counts). 2019 Preliminary Final he was best on ground.

That’s funny, I had the same thought, he does look smaller.

Thank you sir, may I have another. 😂

A good philosophical question for the footballer: give away a free kick or suffer a concussion?

I loved Don Scott’s snide remarks. He and McKenna were the perfect contrast. Those were the days when you could watch a meaningless reserves game just to listen to the commentary.

At least Eddie McGuire doesn’t commentate any more. So there are small mercies.

One of the crazy gang! Jason Akermanis? Darryl White? Martin Pike?

Short, wide, passes through harmlessly to the keeper. 😔

To be honest, I hate ’em all. I prefer Sonic Youth.

Treloar would be close but Collingwood are probably paying most of it. 😔
