IF
 		THEN
 
Adelaide
 		the Crows want to reclaim some of the city of Adelaide back from their despised rivals...
…it’s through Thursday night footy. Club wants it, AFL wants it.
Brisbane Lions
 		Brent Moloney still can’t get a game......you’ve got to wonder what he has done wrong.
Carlton
 		you track Greg Swann’s career path......you'll have noticed close employees often follow him. Mick, Buttifant, Brown, Laidley, Daisy. Few additions coming up at the Lions.
Collingwood
 		you've got a very sore knee......it is OK for the individual and club to admit that publicly. Trav and Pies clearly committed to the "when you cross the white line, you're 100 per cent fit" rubbish.
Essendon
 		the Bombers lose to the Tigers...…it’s a ‘Long Walk’ to the finals.
Fremantle
 		there’s one thing we’d like to see this year......it’s Scott Gumbleton getting his body right. And to then see how he might impact a game of footy.
Geelong
 		we hadn't seen it with our own eyes......there is no chance we could be convinced the Cats could lose a game of footy by 110 points. Still need more confirmation that they actually did.
Gold Coast
 		the Suns wanted some recognition in Melbourne...
...they’d be pleased to see Tom Lynch make most of the “token” Victorian State of Origin teams picked this week.
Greater Western Sydney

 		it was grim last week...
...everything points to it being even more grim this week.
Hawthorn
 		people are doubting the appointment of Bolton over Ratten……think about this: If Ratten took Hawthorn deep into finals, it would have been all about him coaching another team next year, not about the Hawks.
Melbourne
 		Paul Roos wants us to worship him one more time......he'll get James Frawley to sign on a dotted line within the next six weeks.
North MelbourneSam Gibson is getting the hard tag from opposition......it says a lot for him. And a huge well done. But it probably says more about his teammates.
Port Adelaide
 		there's anyone out there who still doesn't realise Wingard is the most watchable, most freakish player in the comp......wake up!!!
Richmond
 		Jack Riewoldt isn’t a Myki ambassador in the next month...
 		...Liam Pickering isn’t doing his job! There's got to be a six-figure deal waiting for you, Picks.
St Kilda
 		it's not already ugly......it will be in three weeks. Collingwood, Port, Geelong. Ouch. Like a needle jabbed under a fingernail.
Sydney Swans
 		we have a crack at lots of people and clubs in this column every week, and we do.......it's only fair that we direct the heat our way: we were very, very, very wrong in underestimating what this club could do in 2014.
West Coast
 		you couldn’t get in to see your dentist this week......don’t be alarmed. Elliot Yeo just made sure every footballer in Australia got a mouthguard fitted.
Western Bulldogsanyone has seen the Western Bulldogs......can you tell them they need to be at Etihad Stadium at 3.20pm on Sunday? Not sure if they're still in the comp.
