Round 21: the other games. Almost everybody is still interested.

I'm also willing to bet, that the role he most often played in his school plays, was a tree. Yet now he's making his living as a communicator.

He was a very good footballer but, yeah, he's got the personality of a brick.

I still recall the joy of a game last year when Darcy referred to Sam Reid as Ben, three times in a row. And I’m prepared to bet alot of money that he couldn’t spell either Sam or Ben.

Am too lazy to research this myself - Essendon has the luxury of playing the Eagles and Norf twice this season. Anyone know which other clubs get that distinct advantage?

Something of a strange situation for so late in the year, with only Hawthorn, North and West Coast totally gone. Obviously, while it's hard to construct a scenario where Fremantle makes it, I think there's still a mathematical possibility of them scraping into the eight and I suspect that at least some of their fans are still hanging on to that hope. Although that hope probably depends on Richmond beating the eighth placed Western Bulldogs tonight.

And on that game, it should be noted that Brett Rosebury will break the record tonight for the most AFL games umpired. Which is quite an achievement, and even though I can be a touch critical of umpires at times, generally I think they do a pretty good job of umpiring a game that's notoriously difficult to officiate. So, well done him. I also suspect that he might be a little bit glad, that his milestone didn't fall in a game where Stevic is also officiating and Luke Darcy is commentating. Otherwise, Darcy would've spent much of Rosebury's night, stating over and over again, that Stevic is "the best in the business". And if anyone doesn't think Darcy could be so obtuse, then I refer them to a recent game, in which both Daisy Pearce and Dale Thomas were in the commentary team. Because of that, one of their fellow commentators announced that to avoid confusion, they would be referring to Thomas as Dale. It then took Darcy about ten seconds to start calling him Daisy. And like a dripping tap, he kept it up all night.

We just saw what the post Cotchin/Martin Richmond will look like. Probably take reiwold out too. Not contenders for a while.
