Belief (or something similar)
It’s going to be brief this week, folks, cos W’s busy and I’m sick. (I actually had a much longer blog already written but lost it. I’ll try and remember some key points. And yes, I stole the title from Tee’s comment.) Here we are then, the shorthand version:
Beating Hawthorn
Was extremely satisfying and gave us all, players included I reckon, the all-important belief that this season's premiership is still very much do-able. Several players really stood up in the 4th quater, namely Mackie, Corey, Bartel and, of course, Joel Selwood. How good could he become? Better than Bartel, a brownlow medalist? Better than Yablett? Is that even possible? Anyway, he was good enough to move Mrs W to yell, “You’re awesome, Selwood!” every time he appeared on the screen. Good times. Good to hear that Lips fired up at the players too; “Best one of the year... Best one for a while… Not the best ever, though” Geez, I love that man.
Collingwood
Speaking of man-love, how uncomfortable does this coaching clusterfuck look like it’s going to be? Bucks showed no courage, Malthouse no self-respect and Eddie no class. I hope this shit blows up in his fat face.
Ottens Returns
And inadvertently buries Mark Blake’s career. If Ottens is fit, it’s he and Mumford. Otherwise I think they’ll stick with the one ruck thing with Hawkins and Mooney having the occasional run in the middle. Either way, no room for Blake. Time for a new Badge, Mrs Watson.
First Final Match-up
Looks like it will probably be the Dogs, but Collingwood, Brisbane and Adelaide all have claims to third spot. It’d be a nice luxury to land Brisbane or Adelaide here because Geelong would crap all over them. The Pies still scare me a bit and it will probably be another close one with the Dogs.
The St Kilda Juggernaut
Continues to roll on, although the Dogs were not that far away from them at certain points. That Scott Welsh brain-fart hurt, however. You really have to run at their zone and handball through it, or in other words, use the Cats’ gameplan of the last three years. They still haven’t played the MCG either... And that’s where they play for all the marbles!
Captain: NM, WB, Geel, StK, Bris, Rich, PA, Ess
Season Tally: 101-35
Mrs Watson: Carl, WB, Geel, Syd, Coll, Rich, PA, WC
Season Tally: Is unimportant at this stage

Ahhh yes! Forever immortalised in the title of this weeks blog.
You hit the nail on the head with the Collingwood coaching thing. I'm not even in the country and it reaked.
