Nathan Brown is giving Josh Kennedy a bath. Jesse Hogan out pointed Brown all game last week.

Logic follows that Hogan is obviously a better forward than Kennedy.

Let me start off with a basket of chips. Then move on to the pollo asado taco.
The junk time goals flattered the margin, but glad to get the win. Walla and Raz were fantastic. But Brisbane did well, Hipwood will be great for them so I hope they manage to keep him.

But yeah, a more experienced team would have turned our lights out tonight pretty easily in the second half

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

Eagles lucky with some umpire calls, but mostly just held their nerve in the last quarter, and looked more fit tbh

Saints: not as good or as fit as we thought. I'm not blaming it on the missing players, they're just not there yet as a team.

Lessons from tonight:

1. Play four quarters.
2. Kick straight.
3. Never play in Western Australia.

At least it was an improvement over last year.

It was like 31 today but there was a cool breeze around for most of the day so it wasn't oppressive. It cooled right down as the sun went down.

If the Saints kicked straight, the last quarter would've been irrelevant. Perhaps they just hoped to be further in front by playing hard early.

Nah, I read it for information's sake, just that this particular angle was completely new to me; it was claimed that Dermott Brereton raised it on SEN with AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan. Surely the boys can't be that threatened?

Baseless speculation:

Firstly, there are no openly gay players in the AFL. (Because historically contact sports have contained a higher than average number of people who call people 'fags' and would happily bash someone for talking with a lisp.)

By contrast, there are a few openly gay female athletes in a number of different sports. (More baseless speculation: because: a. lesbians have not historically been bashed for being gay (I don't even know if this is true, but I just haven't heard of it as much, and bashing people for being 'wrong' is a more stereotypically male activity) and b. female athletes have already often been stereotyped as being lesbian, because being physically fit is stereotypically masculine, which particularly coming from the 90s, may have seen straight women more likely to avoid these activities for fear of being branded a lesbian)

So people see that there are more openly gay women in certain sports than there are openly gay men, and conclude they must be somehow making them gay within the sport, rather than female sports being less toxic towards gay people/society in general being more toxic towards female sports.

PS go Crows!

Looks like they were another victim of BLK going under, the press release said the Majestic deal was to start from 2018 but moved forward. Majestic is best known as the official on-field partner for MLB.

OK BLK fashion victims. The guernseys just looked a bit loose though that might be deliberate for Brisbane. (I kind of like the Bears style clash jumper, though.)

Since we're onto guernsey chat:

Also not a fan of Port going for a white number panel - sure, it's "traditional" for Port but it kind of messes up what was a pretty intimidating look with the all-black except for the vees. They looked like ninjas! Now they look like Port again.
