Vlad the Prince

The Melbourne “agreement” stinks of Machiavellian pragmatism with a couple of sacrificial lambs thrown to the wolves in Dean Bailey and Chris Conolly and a $500,000 fine that will undoubtedly be covered by AFL special dividends.

The Penultimate Week
September 20, 2012 by 1 Comment
Welcome to the Penultimate Week! We are now down to four and the news this week has been focussed on the selection of a team that will never play together. The All-Australian team is not something that particularly interests me (Especially when there are no Blues in it) and the discussion and debate over it [Read more]

Greetings to all, However, perhaps not such a joyous September after the tragic and untimely death of John McCarthy, a young life taken and a reminder of how precious our time is. But the footy machine continues to roll on with Carlton unveiling the worst kept secret in history. When will clubs stop putting up [Read more]
Four legs good, Stevie J bad

A joyious September to all, Finally the AFL have got one right with the people’s bard Paul Kelly taking the stage as part of Grand Final Day. To me no one is more deserving of the honour of performing before the Grand Final, he immortalised our sporting cathedral in his 1987 single “Leaps and Bounds” [Read more]
Let the Finals begin……

Carlton’s abject failure has been a godsend for the Bombers whose fall from a leading contender has been spectacular, how long before the Golden Boy gets the treatment that Ratten has received? Again injuries cruelled the Bombers, but they have their plans. From a mere mortal perspective I am not sure inducing lots of injuries is a great strategy – hamstring injuries are often repetitive and the more you tear ‘em the more likely it is you will tear ‘em again.

Happy Olympic Hangover to all, London has come and gone with the Aussies not reaching the maddening heights expected by the masses, but actually performing to expectations of the rationalists save for our less than expected return from the pool. But we can now look forward to the happiest time of the year, September through [Read more]

Greetings to all, Vlad might be having a blast at the Olympics – but once again his charges make sure that the news inches are adorned with AFL. But before addressing those some Olympic observations.

Happy Olympics to all, This European Summer has been a killer for sleep – but we toil on. Meanwhile Brock McLean ensures that the local game keeps plenty of news inches filled. But really did he say anything we did not already know! There has been much blubbering about the penalties that should be inflicted [Read more]
Cloke & Daggered!

Greetings one and all, As the season progresses through its final trimester clubs are taking action to position themselves for both this year and the next. The Blues would appear to have wisely conceded and sent off Lachie Henderson for surgery rather than risk further injury through this campaign. Meanwhile the Pies have made the [Read more]
Anyone for Buffalo Wings?

Shalom one and all, Not much news on the footy front this week – at least for a Carlton supporter. Ahhh the “Brian” Judd case, I have espoused my views to many of you so won’t regurgitate that except to say that “he’s not the Messiah, he’s a very naughty boy!”. The circus around the [Read more]
