Hello one, hello all, to the first (and quite possibly last) episode of Hotties & Notties w/ Rocco Jones. In an attempt to generate some banter about games we don't play in, I will look at six sides per week, three who are playing particularly well (hotties) and three who are performing inadequately. The further you are from the hot/not equator, the respectively better or poorer I think the side is performing
HOT
Western Bulldogs
Let us all say that pre-season games matters for nothing outside of quality players not getting injured. With Bobby out and going in with a couple of key players underdone, the punters had us as underdogs. Our running game looked brilliant at times; with the evil MCG and Dome powerbrokers maybe we can have a few games at Subi? Go Bulldogs!
Adelaide
Many thought the Crows would be on the slide this year with doubts about the strength of their kids but their young side was impressive on Saturday. Otten, Dangerfield and Petrenko looked the goods and Vince is becoming a genuine star. Also, they get 3 special bonus points for beating Collingwood.
Carlton
As their relatively modest slogan says, ‘They KNOW we are coming’ (or is the inclination on the ‘they’?). Judd was at his stunning best, Gibbs and Murphy were great as the American Eagle Squadron to Judd’s Roger Ramjet and Eddie Betts actually played very well as well as being entertaining (how novel?). They look like they will rip apart poor to average sides, I still have doubts about their ability to swing it with the best though.
--------------Hot/Not Equator---------------------------- (not drawn to scale)--------------------
Essendon
Now let’s ask their smug fans how much the NAB cup matters. I just can’t get Ol’ Man River out of my head after watching Lloydy and Lucas.
Collingwood
If they were a dog they would be a Chi-wa-wa, if they were a movie about a straight guy who falls in love with a guy who he thinks is actually a girl they would be The Crying Game etc.
Richmond
Truly a benchmark for all that is nottie. An 83 Round One loss, Ben Cousins inc. and Raines injured and Jordy plays for them, ouch! With their next two games against last seasons 2nd and 3rd placed teams they might make Nottyville their residency for awhile. A collective you suck to Leather Face, Jordy and Brown.
