* NICK 'THUMPER' MAXWELL
He's come a long way has the boy from St. Josephs (BTW, there are conflicting views as to who St. Joseph really was but
Faithbook reckons he musta been The Patron Saint of Spoiling if Maxi is anything to go by).
His closing speed is better than a real estate agent in a room full of dummy bids. His ability float across packs would make David Copperfield blush. Not since The Flying Nun burst onto our screens has organised religion seen anything quite as spectacular as an airborne Maxi, arm extended, fist fully loaded, foiling yet another oppo forward thrust.
He doesn't just provide Leadership, he provides, wait for it, BLEEDERSHIP!!!!! That's right, Bleedership - no, you won't find this word in the dictionary, you'll find
it on the football field. It's where a player attacks the ball harder than a vasectomy clinic and with more passion than a Mills & Boon romance novel thus setting the example for all and sundry to follow. In short they bleed for the Club. Maxi has Bleedership by the truckload.
You just know that if Gilligan had a Skipper like Maxi the Minnow would never have been lost!
* MICK MALTHOUSE
For this gem when describing Freo's Aaron Sandilands: "...he's got a reach like a sick dog,...." Frankly, there just ain't enough references to crook pets at press conferences.
* NO PENDLES, NO NEON, NO WORRIES
Who'd a thunk it? It wasn't all that long ago that the Maggie mids were being called the Plod Squad.
I even heard Robbie Walls describe them as elite the other day!
* FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS
Just how big is Friday night gunna be?
It's gunna be bigger than Leroy Brown's shorts!!
* HEATH SHAW'S HANGER
......and no, I don't mean where he parks his plane.

That mark really did deserve a goal.

Hi Hotrod,
I'm not getting carried away with the last five wins against teams who are
down in form and believe that the real test is yet to come, what do you
think?
Tony M (St. Arnuad)
I don't think even 10 wins in a row is any reason to get carried away either Tony, no matter who we beat. There is only one game that matters in the end and to get there is no walk in the park.
But as a supporter I just love watching 'em win each week. It was how I was raised. It is what I expect.
What I do like though, is that the Pies seem to have developed the ability to kill off a game with just one quarter of exceptional footy - a hallmark of genuinely good sides.
And they have become pretty potent on the counter attack.

Dear Hotrod,
Why can't Mickey find a space for Paul Medhurst?
Gina D (Ballarat)
Gina, I had a word to MM before the game and told him your concerns.
He immediately made up an excuse for Neon to miss and found some space
for Medders.

Hotrod,
My husband barracks for Essendon and is already driving me crazy about Friday night. And he still hasn't shut up about ANZAC Day. What should I do?
Mary F (Williamstown)
We both know the answer Mary.
Just make sure you don't leave any fingerprints.
