Random Thoughts, or, Hey Mrs Watson!

Dane Swan going to Arizona for 12 days to help his injury recovery is like Charlie Sheen stopping by the Betty Ford Clinic for lunch.

What was stranger about Dale Thomas challenging punching Clinton Jones in the face? a) Thomas claiming he was actually trying to punch the ball; b) the media thinking he was a legitimate Brownlow chance, or; c) The Saints admitting that Jones has herpes?

Good to see Matty Scarlett get forward and kick a goal. And gee, didn’t he look keen to kick one? I’d like to encourage the moving of Scarlo to full-forward as The Cats own personal victory cigar. I mean, imagine the crowd response when the runner comes out late in the 4th quarter and Scarlo begins the jog to the other end…

So, is it too early for Mark Blake to be looking for property in Western Sydney?

The Dalai Lama’s words of wisdom for Harry O’Brien: “The world is as we see it and not as we see it; just like you, it’s a fucking mirage.”

I’m not saying the Bulldogs have given up on Rodney Eade but I’m pretty sure the only thing they talked about at halftime was who got shotgun on the bus ride home.

Does anyone enjoy the work of Stephen Quartermain? I mean, anyone?

Speaking of annoying, self-absorbed twats in the media, when did Dermott Brereton sneak back in to football commentary? I thought we had banished him to Getaway or Postcards or some other rubbish that I don’t watch. He seriously has a point or counter-point about anything and everything. FFS. And… if he says it a little slower… and with his head cocked slightly to one side… perhaps with an eyebrow raised… he thinks it makes it seem… more insightful.

Apparently Cyril Rioli had to be ordered by Hawthorn to stop eating turtles. I can’t even think of a joke.

Hear me out… Tom Hawkins for Jack Watts… Who says no to that trade?

Does anyone know what Jason Davenport’s hair looks like this year? I just want to give the rest of the league the heads up early, I mean, they don’t want to look like assholes…

Is Brent Maloney Melbourne’s best player? Would he, or anyone else from Melbourne, squeeze into Geelong’s best 22? Actually, I’d take Tom Scully over him in a heartbeat. Sorry twinkles.

Attention Nick Maxwell: That “soul patch” can be removed with a regular, every day razor. It’ll come right off. Promise.


Note: Feel free to leave any questions, AFL related or not, in the comments and if we get enough I’ll do a mailbag-blog, aka, “not having to come up with my own ideas”. Good times.

Maxwell at least has the excuse of being young-ish, and it may also be a side effect of the "protein powder" he used to get up to AFL size. What is Malthouse's excuse for growing the flavour-saver at his age?

Questions:

a) How much do I miss Max Rooke playing in the hoops? Can the amount be measured?

b) Does the absence of Shan Shan and Silkworm, coupled with our unbeaten start to the season, prove we were right about them all along? Actually, I'll answer that one - too fucking right it does.

c) Why did Fox Footy let Tiffany Cherry go? Why do we get David Kind instead? Would even Freo agree to such a trade?

I think I'm going to drop a hunge on Jimmy for the medal.

Loving the Scarlett victory cigar.

You think Mark Blake might get 1 game in round 22 to get his name on the locker?

I like the work of Stephen Quartermain, I find him far less annoying than many commentators.

You hit the nail on the head with Brereton and his delivery of 'important' points. I still like having him around though.

Turtle is high in saturated fat. Austin Wannaweiurbeiu also was told not to eat turtle.

Some questions for you:

1) Does Mitch Duncan run like a girl?

2) Does Daniel Menzel like look Justine Bateman circa 1986?

3) Has Justin Koschitzke (sp?) usurped Mark Blake as the worst regular senior footballer in the league?

4) Does anyone remember that bloke who debuted for Geelong in round 1?

5) Does Brent Moloney look slow? Or does he just not blink much?

6) Do you mean it was me peepers all along and not me noggin'?

7) Would Ottens, Byrnes, Mackie and Wocjinski make a good barber-shop quartet?

8) Is that enough questions?

Cheers

You're not in London, you fucking charlatan! You should call yourself 'Fake-Chris-Jackson-who-finally-got-the-fuck-out-of-Canberra-after-15-years-and-moved-back-to-GTown'. The day you get your old soon-to-be-forty-year-old-arse over here, it's likely that the D's will be a decent side!

So Captain.....

1. Are the Saints higher/lower on the 'karma-scale' than they deserve?
2. How cosmically bad are Hilditch, et al?
3. Can any year rate 1991 as 'Year of ridiculous sporting results'?
4. Falou or KHunt?
5. Does anyone else want to pour acid in their eyes/ears when they see/hear the Asian cricketing media and supporters sucking each other off over Indian cricket?
6. Can the big German take the Mavs over the top of Wade & his sidekicks?
7. When I was in the tunnel with the ManUtd players after they got their arses handed to them in the Champs League final, should I have openly mocked them, or was a sardonic chuckle and grin enough?
8. What's the most hyphens you've had in a response?
9. Where should I spend this new years : South America, Europe or Africa?
10. What the fuck is 'salmonella dub-step' & why?
11. Can we officially lay to rest rock music?
12. Music 'talent' shows, celebrity chef cooking shows & shit like the Kardashians - umm, why?

Go Mavs. Go Canucks. Go Cats.

Another Q. Why do supporters complain about umpiring decisions but not their team's inability to score for an entire quarter?

Four weeks for a player that's got no history of unfair play, that did "something" that no-one saw to a player that will get up for the next game.

Consider yourself lucky, Selwood, should've been eight weeks. I mean, shit, Guerra was dizzy!
