Or some such crap. Similar crap to how the Geelong players were never getting as much as people thought, because of their love of country air or whatever.
    I've always found it interesting that it is widely understood that every club in the NRL is rorting the salary cap, yet somehow magically all the
    AFL clubs are as pure as driven snow. All of them.

    Watching the Giants v Norf game. It looks like there’s about ten people there. GWS keep touting increased membership but they must just be giveaways. The crowd is truly embarrassing.

    As for the ex Swans - Toby Pink keeps at it, but is having the moments you’d expect from a first game player in defence in a weak side. I think I saw Dylan Stephens run through the screen at some point but otherwise, the poor man’s woes continue.
    'Delicious' is a fun word to say

    We went to the game. It looked like around 9,000-10,000 to us. Probably about 10% of them were North fans based on what they
    were wearing. Jesse Hogan has to be one of the best pick ups by any team in recent years. Another six goals tonight. He can play.

    Dylan needs to find a non contact sport to play. I'm guessing Clarkson won't put up with him for long.

    Watched the Cats/Saints game. I know it was the first round but it was pretty pedestrian.

    I didn't notice Stephens there. I did see Clarko and he wasn't moving well. Perhaps he is coaching injured, all those foot
    in mouth injuries have finally caught up with him.

    I also watched most of the game and I thought the standard was very average as it was played in perfect conditions. I automatically thought how could either of these sides match the Swans?? But it was the first round.

    Strangely, I was just thinking of doing that. Are they continuing on the general theme of late last season and calling for Beveridge to be sacked? Personally, I suspect he'll be the first to go.

    I actually find these moves quite reminiscent of the Daicos brothers, when they were being tackled on Friday night.
