3. Flossy - his field kicking, his hardness at the ball and his niggle off the ball - I'm in love!
2. Ellis - Benchmark game. I knew he had it in him. The heat will come next week, but that's OK. That's good.
1. Chimp - Apart from the missed set shots, good game. Building.

3-Ellis - speaks for itself
2-Vlastuin - absolute quality
1-Lids - dealing with the attention a bit better
Would have liked to give Vickery votes, but he needs to convert a bit better when he is playing the big forward.

A Pleasant Sunday Afternoon at the Cricket Club
by Roger Huntington-Smythe
It was a rather gorge Sunday, so having fulfilled my duties for the morning at Daddy's firm, I arranged to meet Pillows Ponsenby and Strangely Brown for a carvery and a sherry or three down at the Melbourne Club. At least, I thought they meant the Melbourne Club until I turned up at Collins St to find they meant the Cricket Club. Jolly good, hadn't seen the old Dees play for a year or so, since that Mexican fellow kicked the goal after the siren to deliver us Trenners and Sculls. (Good Prince Alfred boy Trenners. Sculls went to Haileybury, bit of a pov school, but APS nonetheless. And of course, Wattsy, a Brighton Grammar lad - again something of a second-rate school, but on the right side of town at least.)
As luck would have it, we were playing the poor old Tigers again. It would be good to have a laugh at Struggletown's expense, like we did when singing their song last time. Fancy not maximising your draft position! It would be like not setting up an offshore shell company in a tax haven! - just daft. We looked forward to giving them a right rogering, if you'll pardon the pun!
The meal was quite decent, although the lamb was a little dry and the 64 Grange a tad corky. It was simply marv to see so many old school chums there, some of whom we hadn't seen for absolute weeks - except old Billingsworth, of course, who's married to Ponsenby's sister, and Skipper Reynolds, whose married to mine (and doing Strangely's sister on the side just quietly! hawhawhaw - that's Skipper for you!).
Still, we were here to watch some football, so we wandered through to the Long Room. Richmond began busily but wastefully, much like a government department. The Dees were sleek and efficient, just like private enterprise, scoring a six-pointer just about every time we entered the painted arc in the forward area.
Number 5 for Richmond seemed to have brought his own football. 'Who's that fellow?" we asked. "Ellis," came a reply. "Common name," we agreed. This Ellis fellow and No.31, a chap with a foreign-sounding name, certainly got a lot of the football throughout the day. We agreed though, that once Trenners, Sculls and Wattsy have attained a similar level of experience, their class will put them well ahead of these blue-collar (ugh) types.
Of course, every business - sorry, team - needs its hard-headed types and in young McKenzie the Redlegs certainly have one. He belted Richmond's No.3 (Italian fellow) like a good union buster, but No.3 to his credit still had plenty of the ball, and used it a lovely fashion, far superior to our fellows, who we suspected were thinking of a trip to Buller (not for another month chaps!).
No.9 for Richmond also looks a likely type. I think we should head-hunt him. No.14 has lovely skills but someone said he was a Muslim. How did he get in the country?
Speaking of head-hunting, I'm told our No.6 was attracted to the club with an offer of $500,000 per year, which I found a little strange, given that is just an average wage for one who works three afternoons and one weekend morning in one's father's law firm. Still, he only worked for half an hour so not a bad wicket I suppose.
Our Aboriginal was quite good, so good at times I thought there might be two of him!
I do wonder about this Bailey fellow (what school did he go to?). It seemed he had placed all our players in one half of the ground - the wrong half! It's all very well trying to clog the opposition's forward line like some horrid outer suburban land development for the working class, but it makes for ugly football. And when Richmond got the ball forward, they built a picket line outside the 50-metre area. That's the sort of thing that should be legislated against. Still, despite getting the kind of rough trot from the umpires that the Liberal Party receives from the mainstream media, our boys played bravely and only went into half-time seven points down. There was some good-spirited rough-housing after the siren and everyone in the MCC gave our chaps a standing ovation before we adjourned for a cigar and a brandy.
[No.23 for Richmond (you can just tell he's a bolshie) and No.28 (he looks like my plumber) play a little too rough for my liking. I much prefer a well-muscled specimen like young Luke Tapscott, who pushes and that's it. It sends enough of a message. The message being: I can push.]
The second half was as disappointing as Malcolm Turnbull's short-lived leadership (is the man a merchant banker or a greenie? Decide, fellow!). The scruffy-looking No.29 for Richmond (you're not on gap year backpacking around Europe man!) led as strongly as Tony Abbott against universal health and education (this is not Russia) and our ruck fellows' tactic of kicking him in the stomach like one would a slapper from the burbs one had knocked up was unusually ineffective.
Anyhoo, it was really a rather drab affair. Richmond kicked away to a six-goal lead and seemed content to create meaningless work for itself (see: government department), kicking the ball around its backline, not even giving our chaps a chance. Unsporting.
We left halfway through the last quarter and finally found our way to the Melbourne Club, where we smoked hand-rolled Cubans, snorted some quality Columbian and I copped a rather lovely gobby from Strangely's sister, so the day was not a total loss.
And on the bright side, it looks as if we'll be due some more rather lovely draft picks at year's end. We sang the Richmond theme song in celebration. God bless those worker bee Tigers!

Just when you think it can't get any better, we get another Tiger win and a top shelf report to boot.
Although there appeared to be some angst regarding our victory, I was more than happy to take the 4 points and move to 5-3. I was able to watch the game from the Tiger Cage (cheers PRE and the RFC!) with fellow PREnders Lids,Bling&Cotch, Taraba, TigerMoz and Bowden4President. Good company for a good game. A great highlight was the nana going berserk at the parents of the AusKickers lining up to get photos of the kids just before halftime in the race below us. Apparently she couldn't see the action in the forward pocket AND she had paid for a ticket!
It was obvious who was going to score the votes this week, with Ellis having a day out - 39 possessions from a teenager! He has been a revelation since he shed the sub-vest that he had to bear at the beginning of the season. His tank was on show as he was influential throught the match and scored massively in the polls as a result. To add to the pleasure, Nick Vlaustin also polled heavily as he showed up those who doubted his tank. The kid is hard (really hard), can tackle and his disposal efficiency is putting some of his more highly rated teammates to shame. His set shot for goal from 50m revealed just how skillful and cool he is. Having our 2 teenagers as the BOGs at this early stage in their careers really bodes well for the future of our midfield. A number of players secured the 1 votes, with Bachar Houli finishing with the 3rd most for his good work in defence.
This Saturday is going to be massive as the Tigers and Bombers clash in front of a massive crowd for Dreamtime at the 'G. Always a highlight of the year, the respective ladder positions of the teams makes this game more important than those of recent years. It's going to be huge and although I've tipped the Tigers, it should be a close contest.
Carn' the Tiges!

Thanks PT.
Spook...fantastic, hilarious work. Loved it! Definitely gold post material.
No.23 for Richmond (you can just tell he's a bolshie) and No.28 (he looks like my plumber) :rofl
I took a couple of guys to the mel game for their first taste of AFL. (One of them said on the day that Vickery looked like Jim Morrison backpacking!) Will cut/paste and email to them to round out their experience!
