Welcome to the new and improved Hotties & Notties w/ Rocco Jones
Let me start with a re-cap of my formula:
- Most important factor: Last game they have played.
- Next most important factor: Last couple of games before that
- Next, next most important factor: Season in general
- Probably the most important factor when I come to think about it: Random rubbish that comes to mind the night I do it.
- Also, pretty important: Quality of YouTube videos the club puts out.
HOT
St.Kilda
4-0 and a percentage a touch over 200 means even Grant Thomas has to say something nice about Ross Lyon’s Saints. They have made both WA sides look like the Washington Generals, outscoring them by a combined total of 30 goals over the last 2 games. Montagna, Dal Santo and Goddard keep on tearing it up and Roo is back on track. They really seem to have a great balance between attack and defence. They also arguably have the best home ground advantage going around, which helps when they get to play there every week.
Gary Ablett Jnr (and Geelong)
A lazy 46 touches, 3 goals and 4 scoring assists for GBJ against the Crows to celebrate his 150th. Thanks for the 394 SuperCoach points skip. His teammates go alright as well, I cannot believe Joel Selwood is only 20 years old.
Port Adelaide
After two decent home ground performances and one horrible away one, the Hawks away was a huge test for Power and they passed with flying colours. Tredrea and Chad Cornes are back. Boak, Salopek and Pearce don’t get nearly as much hype as some starlet midfield fleets but they sure are impressive. Teal is the new navy blue.

Hawthorn
1-3 and the premiership hangover is officially on. Injuries have already hurt the Hawks and it looks like it will be the type of season where they lose a couple when they manage to get a couple back. Their defence looks very weak without Croad and Gilham and the loss of Guerra will hurt their drive.
Fremantle
0-4 and a percentage of 56. Their midfield and running depth is pathetic. Palmer has far too much responsibility and his disposal is being sadly exposed. The side’s disposal and lack of leg speed is glaring. They are chock full of list cloggers like Josh Head and Gilmore and just aren’t getting enough out of Sandilands and McPharlin. DHS should take Pav away from Freo. A very long season ahead and the sad thing is, they will probably waste their early pick. Oh, and their coach is Mark Harvey.
Richmond
Where do I start? Losing to Melbourne is like being dumped by the ugliest girl at school. They constantly turn it over in the wrong places and it’s hard to see how that will improve with the list being infested with poor disposers of the ball. On the flipside, I hear Nathan Brown's T-Shirt company is doing well.
