The Pre Wrap – AFL Round XV – The view from the Old Dart

Mr Wrap has fled Punt Road (no long suffering for him) and is spending his winter as Bernie Tomic’s psychoanalyst in the Old Dart. He has not forsaken his loyal readers and shares his wisdom on all sporting matters.

The Round 11 Post Wrap: The Bloodbath Round

Its the Bloodbath Round for Mr Wrap as finals pretenders show their true colours, and Tigers, Blues and Eagles fans ‘fess up to the awful truth about their teams.

AFL Round 11: The Pre-Wrap

There is plenty of “gabbin” from the Wrapster in this week’s pre-wrap, and he leaves no-one in doubt as to his thoughts on the improbability of fixing an AFL match.

AFL Round 10: The Wrap

Fresh news from the Wrapcave.

The Pre-Wrap: AFL Round Ten

Tiger traditionalist and tragic (is there a difference?) Mr Wrap offers his tips for Round 10. He is too distressed at Saturday and Monday’s events at the Paddock that Grew to offer his usual philosophical discourse.

The Post-Wrap (Round 9): The Thanks for the Memories Round

This came in headed “The Weap” from “The Wrap”. Don’t know how much more they can take down at Punt Road, but as ever Mr Wrap finds some plastic soldiers in the corn flakes box of weekend sport.

AFL Round 9 – Pre-Wrap: Thanks for the Memories

The Wrap, unusually brief, with some handy analysis to assist your tipping, your punting and your view of Jellymont. [Includes respectful Tommy Hafey gag.]

AFL Round 8 – The Wrap: The Bump We Had to Have Round

Mr Wrap reckons that the Bloods and the Adelaide Longshoremen sent a message on the weekend. There is a spring in the Wrap step this week as the bye avoided further long suffering among TLSPRF.

AFL Round 8: The Pre-Wrap

The Wrap delivers the final word on that bump before illuminating the path ahead.

AFL Round 7: The Wrap

The Wrapster may well be enjoying the plight of the Da Da Da Da-Das, but he’d also like to see the Endangered Species have a win. {When will that be? – Ed]

AFL Round 7 – The Pre Wrap

Mr Wrap previews Round 7 and surveys the wreckage of the AFL succession; the 2 win teams and his Toothless Tigers (sorry Striped Marvels – Ed).

AFL Round 6: The Wrap

Some Alberton-love creeping into the Wrap-cave. But no Bomber-love. The Wrapster casts his wise eye on the proceedings of Round 6.

AFL Round 6: The Pre-Wrap

The Pre-Wrap. Includes a special which has already saluted.

AFL Round 4: The Pre-Wrap

The Wrap exposes player-agent speak, makes Hawthorn his Wrap Mortgage Buster, and previews Round 4. [The rain has not removed the sharpness of Wrap’s critique – Ed]

AFL Round 3 – The Wrap: We’re the Tigers of old, how easily we fold

The Wrap has his finger on the pulse. He’s on to Jellymont House, and he has a warning for those there who grind the sausage machine. People won’t hang around for expensive snags full of cereal powder.

AFL Round 2: The Punt Road Wrap

The Wrap divines the false and true gold in AFL Round 2. His hands got a bit shakey late on Thursday night, but he still reckons the Tiges have found the mother lode. The Beckhams and the Hirds can’t decide who is being slandered.

AFL Round 1 (and 2): The Hindsight Wrap

The Wrap has been busy thinking and writing. Epic discussion of the ladder and Round 2. (Includes two digs at soccer and reference to the high standard of ethics insofar as choosing host countries for major sporting tournaments is concerned)

The (Welcome Back) Pre-Wrap: for the philosophical Marngrook Follower

If they don’t play footy in Heaven, John Mosig’s not going. Divine return from the hibernating columnist. [I love you Wrap. Many a good line in edition one means the pressure is on. Ed]

AFL Finals Week 1: The Wrap

Who wins The Wrap’s seal of approval in Round 1 of The Finals? The Mayblooms, the Tealers or the Silvertails? It couldn’t be the Striped Marvels could it? Surely not. Take it away Wrapster.

AFL Finals – Week 1: The Pre-Wrap

Woosha’s resignation, Demetriou laughing at dwarf abuse, Buddy and the finals – where will the Wrap start?
