Round 1 Preview

Welcome Oh Tipsters! Here we are... born to be kings... we are Princes of the Universe!

Yes Season 2009 is upon us and let us pray it will be so much better than 2008. No, it's not just that the skidmarks won the Premiership after clearly being second best all year. It's that the draw was shite which led to 3 teams being unbeaten after 36 rounds of football. Andrew Demetriou I'll show YOU social impact. It's not that hard - 16 teams and after 15 rounds they've all played eachother. BANG. GOAL. NINE POINTER SUPER GOAL. *sighs*

Question One is have you enrolled? If not, this is where you go and what you do:
As per usual it will be run via www.oztips.com and the details are:
===================================================================
Comp Name: Horseboys AFL Tipping Comp 2009
Comp #: 157818
Comp Password: Couzondrugs
===================================================================
Set up yer profile and join up. It really ain't that hard. Plus if you get someone else in the comp you all of a sudden have the chance to take THEIR $30 as well. So go on - get some other mug with no idea involved. You know it makes sense.

Question Two is the rules. If you still need them then email me at luke.vanessa.porter@gmail.com - too easy.

Question Three. The Games. Let them begin. ROUND ONE!

Well it all kicks off with a marketers absolute wet dream. The BlueBaggers v Benny's Coked Up Tigers. Juddy v Benny. This is huge. Seriously. The Tigers are chockers full of happiness pills at the moment - Benny got a special deal, and memberships are up and the team is talkin it, but will they walk it? They're coming up against the Blues who most people are tipping to finish top 8. Will the Fev play? Once again I have him in my dream team (sheeds can go get...) so chances are he is already out for 6 months. Juddy is in there too so I expect a groin strain halfway through the second quarter. But despite that my tip is the Tigers will go down like an addict after a 3 day bender. Blues will be way too good. Simple.

Friday night sees yet another ripper. Tis the Grand Final replay. This tip is like shooting fish in a barrel. Well, assuming the AFL brought in the rule to stop scabbing rushed behinds. Ablett to score 300 points in my dream team, captain = 600. GO SON GO! Hawks to lose 8 in a row and be the first Premiers to finish bottom the following year.

On Saturday we have the Pies n Crows duking it out in melbourne. *sighs* memories of NYC 2008. Squinting at a lil tv with no sound in some dodgy irish bar, sending off random texts as 3 in the morning. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE DAMN YOU! You'll all pick the Pies but you'll all be wrong. Crows young brigade to do the biz. Brisbane will start a mediocre year with a win against the 2009 wooden spooners, and the Swans will start their slide out of the 8 in round one. It's going to be a long year....

On Sunday we have a marketers absolute nightmare. The Dees v the Roos. Two teams that should have relocated or merged 10 years ago. Who gives a sht. Seriously. Then the Paaaah v Essendon and the Dockers v the Dogs. What a bunch of ratings bonanza's these are eh? Unbelievably ordinary games by a bunch of who-cares scraggers. Ok, the doggies have a reasonable team but seriously... I reckon that Paps/Bombers game is the only game that ALL the teams supporters will tip the opposition. Loyalty my arse.

So that's it. Get yer tips in. Get yer CERTAINTY in. Get yer GRAND FINALISTS/WOODEN SPOONER in BEFORE THURSDAY NIGHT.

Any questions, email me! Good luck for Season 2009 :)

Cheers
Horseboy
