1: Da da-da da-da
ONE OF the things we look forward every season is watching the new boys mumbling and stumbling their way through their team's song after their new team's first win of the season (yes, we have a sheltered life here at The Four Points).

So it was with great interest that we watched Brisbane Lions old boy and first-year Blue Richard Hadley bluff his way through one of the great theme songs in world sport when the Blues triumphed over Collingwood at the weekend.

But it's a reflection of how bad the Old Dark Navy Blues have been traveling that even Carlton stalwarts like spearhead Brendan Fevola and coach Brett Ratten had to run their eye over the lyric sheet before launching into the song on Sunday.

Probably the most disappointing thing for the team is that they actually did have plans to learn the words of the song ahead of their first win of the year, only the lessons were set down for this week; the Blues play Melbourne this Sunday, you see.

2: The man with a plan
Set it down in concrete, friends; the Tigers will win the flag in 2027, or whenever it was Terry Wallace said they would. Just like the character played by George Peppard in that wonderfully cerebral series from the 1980s 'The A-team', Terry loves it when a plan comes together and that's what happened on Sunday at Subi when his boys got over the top of Freo.

Far be it for Wallace to blow his own trumpet after a win, but according to our man in the coach's box, he had planned all week to play Richo on a wing, Nathan Brown deep in the forward line and Joel Bowden in the twos in a bid to beat the Dockers this weekend.

The idea was that the Tigers would have to run the 'giant' Freo side off their feet if they were to win and that's what they did, all thanks to Wallace's mid-week planning session.

We're not sure if Tezza had planned to put in two insipid displays in a row against North Melbourne and Collingwood ahead of they Freo game - you know, just to lull the purple haze into a sense of security - but you wouldn't put it past the old fox.

3: Nothing to see here, move along
Eagles fans, fear not. The fact that your team has lost three on the trot with side choc full of players who'd be too young to earn 47c an hour as a drive-through attendant at your local fast-food store is no cause for alarm, according to veteran Adam Selwood.

The 23-year-old, one of the elder statesmen of the West Coast line up in Saturday night's 62-point loss to the Swans, reckons his team's kids have come in and shown 'great form' in the side's 1-3 start to the season. Hmmm. We're not sure if Adam is on the money there, but we do know he'd be a welcome addition to the coaching panel at Tigerland as Terry builds towards that 87-year plan for the yellow and black's next flag.

4: The man with no name
OK, hands up who knows the name of the chairman of the AFL Tribunal? It didn't seem all that long ago that the names Jack Gaffney, Neil Busse and Brian Collis were just as famous as any of the biggest players of their respective eras, but in the days of Adrian Anderson's match review panel, it seems the AFL's swinging judge has become almost anonymous.

Well, for all you trivia buffs out there, David Jones is the independent chairman of the AFL Tribunal, and it would appear that Mr Jones might be front and square in at least one case this week.

Of course, being the official AFL website, we can't pre-empt today's findings of the match-review panel. And even though there's only been muted coverage of the odd misdemeanour out of this week's round of matches, we'll just have to leave it up to you, our esteemed readers, to determine the case or cases to which we may or may not be referring in the above.

What's on afl.com.au today?

Match Review Panel findings
Apparently there's a few videos for the boys at the AFL to look at. That's all we're prepared to say.

Monday wrap
It's a wrap up of the round and it comes on Monday. That's why it's called Monday wrap. How else would you know what's actually in the story before you clicked on it if we didn't call it that?

Recovery sessions
There might be a few sore scones after Carlton's drought-ending win at the weekend (though not the Fev, of course), so maybe that's why they aren't facing the media at today's recovery session. But Shane Crawford will give us some Hawk Talk, Leigh Matthews some Lions lowdown and we might even get a couple of others to tell us why/how they won/lost at the weekend.
