    His start to the game was ordinary to say the least. Not sure if he changed jumpers after half time though, as he was actually sort of, ok
    He ate more cheese, than time allowed

    I used to call for the axing of Macca (when he used to have hair) so I have tamed my use of "sackem" calls. What do I know!

    Certainly dont want Derrickx getting a big head!

    Rampe is fast becoming a favourite. No second year blues for him, always seems to have composure and clean hands.

    Folly that Laidler will make way - quite a handy utility even if he's not required in defence. Another interesting week at the selection table, particularly with Pyke out.

    I think the key was playing against a very young team, which at times, resembled nothing more than witches hats.

    Only negative is our skill under pressure is no where near the level of the Hawks. If we improve that I'm confident we'll be there at the pointy end.

    I guess with the month coming up we'll know exactly where we are.
    Competitive effort against the Hawks and wins against Essendon and the Cats are a must I think.
    Jake Lloyd deserves a Rising Star nomination. It would represent the supreme irony, noting that this was the Star Wars "May the 4th be with you" promotion weekend.

    Even more ironic, if in years to come, he goes to Collingwood.

    Sorry but all these Star Wars references are completely list on me. Could someone please explain what Jake Lloyd and Collingwood had to do with the movie franchise?

    +1. Phew, thanks Jewels, I thought I must be the only RWOer to have no idea about all these Star Wars references.

    I'm not completely au fait with the Star Wars saga either, but I do know that Jake Lloyd is the name of the actor that played Anakin Skywalker. Anakin later becomes Darth Vader who falls and moves to 'The Dark Side of the Force', hence I presume Scott's reference to ending up at Collingwood....

    According to Eddie, Star Wars is the second most recognizable brand on earth- just pipped by Collingwood.
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    Also because of yesterday's date: May the fourth be with you.
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
