IF
 		THEN
 
Adelaide
 		the Crows get big Tex back on the park by round one next year ...… they'll be climbing back into preliminary final contention in 2014. He
means that much.
Brisbane Lions
 		Michael Voss had his time over again …… he would have stuck with plan A back in late 2008 and gone to West Coast to learn the coaching caper as an assistant to John Worsfold.
Carlton
 		Carlton wants to make 10 changes to its list …… it needs to test the trade waters with players like Shaun Hampson and Jarrad Waite. Got to give something to get something.
Collingwood
 		there's a better talent identification and player development structure than the Magpies' ...… it is only Geelong's. Brodie
Grundy is going to be an all-time great.
Essendon
 		in February you state publicly that you will take full responsibility for something…… it's strange that you don't take full
responsibility when things get real ugly in August.
Fremantle
 		the Dockers finish top-two …… lock in the Grand Final.
Geelong
 		Tom Hawkins can manage 45 goals to this stage of the season …… imagine how many he would have kicked if his back wasn't totally
shot.
Gold Coast
 		Campbell Brown deliberately kung-fu'd an opponent in the head…… he should have been suspended for 12 weeks. He didn't, and he should have got off.
GWS

 		20-year-old Jeremy Cameron can win the Coleman in a season where his team wins one game ...
 		... he will win 10 of 'em by the time he retires.
Hawthorn
 		Cyril Rioli was Jack Ziebell …… he would have been suspended for four weeks for his dangerous, chicken-wing-style tackle of last week.
Melbourne
 		the Demons can drag another 450k out of their high-end supporters during the week …… their high-end supporters are too giving.
North Melbournethere is a more difficult assignment in one's first game of AFL than to start as a sub and then be released in the last
quarter of a tough, close game...		… Taylor Garner would like to know what
it is.
 
Port Adelaide
 		the footy world doesn't finally accept Angus Monfries is a legitimately good player …… it should after his efforts this year.
Richmond
 		Trent Cotchin is to go to the next level, and let's face it, there 'aint far for him to go …
… he needs to hit more targets -
teammates and goals - by foot.
St Kilda
 		Saints fans were rejoicing at the departure of Ross Lyon thinking they would see their team play a better brand of football ...… three wins in 2013 and last Friday's snooze-fest is the only reality
check they need.
Sydney Swans
 		the Swans were happy and overjoyed about Kurt Tippett's form …… they should be slightly hesitant. Becoming too one-dimensional now.
 
West Coast
 		Worsfold and his club keep telling us they want to continue …… sign the papers. Enough of the talk. But do they really, really want to continue? Hmmm.
Western Bulldogsthere is a better rise from mediocrity in the space of six weeks than that of Jarrad Grant …... well, there isn't.
