* The Coach. Second week in a row he's come up against men whom he captained. It might have been 20+ years, but I don't believe you ever lose that competitive egde against former teammates. He's still Voss the Boss.
* Wings. I was such a fan of what I saw last night that I burst into Mull of Kintyre and Junior's Farm. Acres was close to being brilliant and Dutchy is just going to get better. Massive tick.
* Saad. I've got a theory that he plays his best football during Ramadan. Expecting big things vs GWS, North & Adelaide.
* Curnow Bros Inc. It likely won't be every week but I'm enjoying seeing the memories these boys are making. They clearly love playing footy together. I'd like us to be playing Ed when there's a clear run-with match-up. We knew Cripps would be be paid close attention so it was nice to turn the tables somewhat and have Ed perform the role that he did on Guthrie. I'm not convinced there's a role for him vs GWS if George returns.
* Kennedy. 9 Kennedy's have played for the Blues. I was always bitter at losing Josh. I loved Mick in the '87 side. Greg was a very handy forward in the early 70s and was cruelled by injury. Matthew is fast becoming an outstanding Kennedy. Loved his game last night. Sadly Andy, Ted, Jim, Pat and Tom are no longer with us. They are the dead Kennedy's.
Great post Doc. AGREE WITH IT ALL. Ramadan theory is insighful. The interview post game showed how important Ramadan is to him. Great human being. Love the Dead Kennedy reference. Clever wordsmith. Not surprised.
1. New kids on the block Hollands Cowan are amazing. Hollands is elite...already
2. Charlie and Harry KPF combo for obvious reasons
3. Backline were fantastic. Saad is a freak. AA form
4. Beat the reigning Premier because we applied 4 quarters of high pressure footy.
5. The small forwards Motley Owies Durdin were back to their best.
6. Loved it when TDK showing his displeasure by roughing up his brother Sam when he was on the floor after hitting a Carlton player. Cant recall who Sam hit. Showed me TDK is a Bluebagger through and through, and can see him staying at carlton. Carlton will find a way to pay TDK what he's worth to them....might be a back loaded contract.
