Well it's the bye rounds and this week we are sitting out and our players are getting some much needed R&R.

Meanwhile Damien Barrett is beating the drum about Longmire potentially moving elsewhere, even if the article is mostly quoting Andrew Pridham saying it's not going to happen: BARRETT: Does Horse stay or go? It's like looking at a boat on a marina, says chairman - AFL.com.au.

Came across this article by Shane Edwards from Richmond FC about his teammate Sydney Stack (who we were sizing up with interest around the time of the rookie draft last year) on aflplayers website: Stack on the (old town) road to greatness - AFL Players. What a great character he is! I highly recommend watching or re-watching the 30 second clip of Stack dancing around to the song 'Old Town Road'.

The news and articles about the fallout of The Final Quarter keeping raining down, which is great. Hoping to bring it to my workplace and delighted to hear it will be screened on Channel 10. Looking forward to the next one from Stan Grant also.

After the win on the weekend, is there room for romantics to dream about playing finals still this year? Is there any chance? Our draw opens up over the balance of the season and although we have some tough games (Geelong, Giants) you'd rate us a good chance in many of the others, at least if our form holds. Doesn't seem impossible that we could win go 8-2 over the balance of the season. 12 wins plus good percentage, could that get us there? It's amazing to be even dreaming like this when the conversations about whether we were in the mix to get the spoon were getting more and more real before we beat Essendon.
