Meh! I couldn't care less about some feral scum hack thinks. For me, this prelim was a game of rust removal.

The great sign was that we removed a fair amount of that rust in the second half.

We will be a good show against the Filth in Grand Final. Don't believe the hype.

On the telecast thought I heard Walls call Blakey 'Jarryd or Jarryn' . Might be my poor hearing in my advancing years, but it did make me wonder at the time.

LOL

And that line about the two Gilbees facing off - when Gilbert spoiled Gilbee.

He did and it's not the first time he's done that with Blake. You would think he would have got it right by now.

Surely one of the first pre-requisites for being a sports journalist is to know the players' names. That article was just amateur hour.

I think Nicholson is predominantly a racing writer... and it shows!

A disgraceful piece of journalism in a sub-standard newspaper.

I think is his defense the Joe Blake reference is not a mistake, but in reference to him being an "average Joe" in that he isn't highly talented in any particular skill of the game but does the job that he is given. He often points out that despite being one of our most solid players down back he has never gotten a brownlow vote.

Had paragraph depth of being written by a 9yo. Western Bulldogs must now rebuild - der Fred ! Thats probably right with Johhno gone, Eagleton gawn, Harbrow off to Suns, a 34yo full forward and fringe depth players Everitt and Hill seeking greener grass.

Better he talks about So You Think winning Underwood yesterday FFS.
