The Captain's random musings on Round 1:

Richmond looked as pathetic as Mrs. Watson hoped they’d be, which reminds me, what ever happened to the whole ‘5 things’ concept?… Quentin Lynch is making Eagles fans long for the glory days of the Brett Spinks era… Mark Harvey is already practising keeping a straight face at the sacking of Chris Connelly press conference, which, as stipulated in his contract, is scheduled for the Tuesday between rounds 5 and 6… Nathan Ablett kicked 6 goals in the VFL, I’m just saying… I’ve complained about free-to-air commentators before, but Foxtel has taken it to a new level with Tony Shaw. I mean, how can anyone take anything he says seriously? The man literally ran into a tree… Despite them winning, and with the exception of Chris Connelly, does any coach inspire less confidence than Dean Laidley?... How long until Hawthorn bite the bullet and just employ their own hair stylist?... Essendon went to town on Sydney in the first half. I mean, everything went right, and yet Sydney were still in the game, which is either worrying for Essendon or reassuring for Sydney; I’m betting it’s the former… Maybe the guy on the National Bank ad should have taught Nick Riewoldt to kick as well, he looks like he’s been getting advice from Ian Baker-Finch… David Wirrpunda looked good for West Coast, although he hasn’t had a direct opponent since late 2001… During Foxtel’s ‘Footy Central’, hosted by Jason Dunstall and Wayne Carey, I couldn’t help but think if Wayne had “met” Mrs. Dunstall, and if the same thought had crossed Jason’s mind… The Port Adelaide midfield looks thinner than Josh Francou’s hair… ‘Bomber’ “Lips” Thompson was disappointed his team only kicked 17 goals. Jesus, someone get this guy some Prozac… Maybe Adelaide isn’t as good as we first thought, and that whole, stop/start, run the clock style of play? Disgusting. Time to take down the Neil Craig posters… Ryan Griffen said Richmond “gave up” during their 113 point loss to the Western Bulldogs. Gee Ryan, you think?... Is it just me, or is Mark Riccuito just a little bit over-rated? [It’s just you – Mrs. Watson]…The Australian Tax Office is investigating over 200 hundred professional athletes, including footballers, over tax fraud. Do you think Shane Woewodin is starting to worry about declaring solarium visits as a ‘work expense’?...

Nice picture of the captain enjoying a few beverages in the company of Angelina Jolie. The Mo. GOLD. Let's not forget the hat and the Levi's wristband. Who is The Captain?
