He's scored four goals for Carlton's #VFL team, so it's fair to say that tonight, Jack Ison... is on.

Does Essendon's number 30 play golf? And if so, who is Caddy's caddy? #AFLDonsPies

ANZAC DAY READ: Here's the sad story of Essendon one-gamer Jack Keddie, a footballer who had it all before him when peace was declared on August 15, 1945. Sadly for Jack, there would be a tragic final twist in his tale.

It's 2.3-4.0 at quarter time, with Collingwood's lead nine points. The Bombers will no doubt be looking to keep it at that (or lower) in the second term. #AFLDonsPies

"He used his teammate as a stepboard." — Jason Dunstall, Fox Footy Are you sure it wasn't a springladder, Jason? #AFLDonsPies

FUN FOOTY FACT: The Suns have finished on 63 at York Park three times, in three different ways: * 10.3.63 v Haw 17.14.116 2014 * 8.15.63 v Haw 10.10.70 2022 * 9.9.63 v Haw 16.16.112 2026 Suns also scored 9.9.63 v NM in 2021, so four of their nine scores of 63 have come in Tasmania. #AFLHawksSuns

PROJECTED FINAL SCORE: Richmond 16.8.104 v Melbourne 16.8.104 #AFLTigersDees

Unfortunately the snowball has melted. #AFLDogsSwans

Dogs leading 26-22 at quarter time after being given a snowball’s chance in hell of winning pre-game. #AFLDogsSwans

It's been a bit of a rough week for us Doggies' fans, but I'm here to try and cheer you up with my latest piece for the Western Bulldogs. Ahead of tonight's game, here's a look back at the night we unfurled the 2016 flag, before playing another cracking match against the Swans.

GIGZ'S HANDY VISUAL EXPLAINER #71: On the left we have some latrine pickets next to an old shithouse. On the right is Latrelle Pickett, who is certainly not old and anything but shithouse.

FUN FOOTY FACT: Today #AFLNorthTigers is the first NON-Saints-Hawks game of VFL/#AFL footy to finish with a score of 130 v 55. R19 1992: St Kilda 19.16.130 d Hawthorn 7.13.55 R06 2017: St Kilda 19.16.130 d Hawthorn 8.7.55 R06 2026: North Melbourne 20.10.130 d Richmond 7.13.55

We've got Zager and Evans' favourite quarter-time score: 25-25 #AFLDeesLions

North Melbourne is giving Richmond a Cooper Trem. #AFLNorthTigers

FUN FOOTY FACT: Four matches in VFL/#AFL history have finished 103 v 102. Three of those have been won by Adelaide. 1992 ADEL 15.13.103 d Haw 15.12.102 1993 ADEL 15.13.103 d Fitz 15.12.102 2000 NM 14.19.103 d Melb 14.18.102 2026 ADEL 15.13.103 d StK 15.12.102 #AFLCrowsSaints

Final score 13.11 to 13.8. Hawks by three behinds. #AFLHawksPower

Port Adelaide kicking with the roof in this final quarter. #AFLHawksPower

Final score 17.17 to 17.8. Suns win by nine behinds. #AFLSunsDons

In light of how last night’s match unfolded, I’m now seriously considering spending the rest of this year pursuing a PhD in Optimal Sock Arrangement. #AFLCatsDogs

Make that the last eight. #AFLBluesPies

5-point margins in VFL/#AFL Pies-Blues games: R05 1904 CAR 8.5.53 Co 6.12.48 R12 1922 CAR 12.16.88 Co 11.17.83 R19 1946 CAR 15.11.101 Co 14.12.96 GF 1979 CAR 11.16.82 Co 11.11.77 R12 1980 CAR 13.12.90 Co 11.19.85 R05 1984 COL 10.16.76 Ca 9.17.71 R06 2026 COL 13.10.88 Ca 12.11.83 #AFLBluesPies

Reverse déjà vu for Collingwood and Carlton fans, as the Pies beat the Blues 88-83, just as Blues beat the Pies 88-83 in 1922. #AFLBluesPies

I feel a bit like I'm watching a Buster Keaton film. Mind you, if I was a Carlton or Collingwood fan, I wouldn't be laughing. #AFLBluesPies

PROJECTED FINAL SCORE: Carlton 8.24.72 v Collingwood 8.16.64 #AFLBluesPies

Were they "denied a controversial goal" or were they controversially denied a goal? From what I understand, had the goal been allowed it would not have been controversial. #Matildas

I was unaware that being a father at Bulldogs HQ was any more stressful than being a father at other locations.

FUN* FOOTY FACT: The last seven Carlton vs Collingwood matches played in Round 6 have all been Magpie wins. 1977 COL 152 Car 52 1981 COL 144 Car 87 1993 COL 137 Car 101 1998 COL 96 Car 67 2001 COL 103 Car 95 2006 COL 138 Car 66 2010 COL 155 Car 102 #AFLBluesPies *Fun not guaranteed for Blues fans

MONDAY NIGHTS AFTER MY TEAM HAS WON: Lap up every footy show on every TV and radio station, and rewind the good bits. MONDAY NIGHTS AFTER MY TEAM HAS LOST: Rearrange my sock drawer. #AFL

No problems with scoring on this day (and the day after) in 1985. St Kilda the only team that failed to top the ton, and they fell only two points short. #AFL

Incidentally, "A VICTORY – PETER MAGYAR WINS!" is an anagram of A WITTY EPIGRAM – "SORRY VANCE!"

I can hear Peter Landy now: "The ball is like a cake of soap out there." #AFLPowerSaints

Quarter time and GWS leads Richmond 52-14. The Giants have been on the money so far, while the Tigers are playing like they're up the creek without a paddle. #AFLGiantsTigers

The 16,880th game of VFL/#AFL footy is (rather surprisingly) the first to finish 104 v 64. #AFLHawksDogs

Déjà vu for Sydney fans as the Swans win 100 v 68, just as they did in 1969. #AFLSwansSuns

The lights are on at Norwood Oval, but with Sydney playing Gold Coast, nobody's home. #AFLSwansSuns

FUN FOOTY FACTS: 1. Melbourne's last three final scores of 68 have all been at Adelaide Oval. R04 2022 Port 36 v Melb 68 R15 2025 Port 93 v Melb 68 R05 2026 Ess 113 v Melb 68 2. The last time Melbourne scored 10.8, they won. 3. The last time Essendon scored 17.11, they lost. #AFLDonsDees

It’s been a good day for red jumpers at the Adelaide Oval. Hope that continues. #AFLDonsDees #AFLHawksDogs

The most confusing thing for me about North's jumper today is that its colour scheme is reminding me of the one worn by their opposition a few weeks ago. #AFLNorthLions

This #DonsDees match is very much a 50-50 prospect at the moment.

Cooper Trembath: 3,3,3,3,0,2,3,2* #AFLNorthLions

It was pissing down earlier in Adelaide, which could explain the quarter-time score of 23-19. #AFLDonsDees

Brisbane struggling with the breeze, which probably explains why they trailed 2.3-4.3 at quarter time. #AFLNorthLions

What a game. Reminded me a lot of the 1914 Grand Final. #AFLPiesFreo

Can't see a tattoo on Ang Anderson. If he gets one it will surely be a rose. #AFLPiesCrows

Hoping Collingwood kick nine more behinds before their next goal so I can say: Pi(es) = 3.14 #AFLPiesFreo

I'm getting real 1980s Western Oval winter vibes watching this. #AFLPiesFreo

At quarter time Collingwood leads 1.2-1.1 in an encounter that is close but meandering, not unlike the Battle of Antioch on the Meander, which took place, incidentally, in 1211. #AFLPiesFreo
