For Those About To Rock, We Salute You!
Yes, the Mighty AC/DC are coming to a town near you soon. And that even includes Adelaide - the true definition of a Town - note the Capital? Although looking around recently I am concerned that Adelaide is the centre of all things Trend - it seems if yer between 15 and 25 and yer not wearing yer uggies in a public place, you just aren't Hip. It's just goddamn scary. STOP IT before I shake yer foundations - damnit it's just a touch too much *sighs*
But to the footy. Maybe the knowledge that the Aged Rock Gods are coming back for One Last Tour - no not Johnny Farnham - AccaDacca - has caused the Mighty Crows to stand up. Yup the Crows weren't beatin around the bush when they smashed n grabbed the four points from the riff raff that was Hawthorn in the first half of the game on Sunday. Of course the standard third quarter problem child reared it's ugly head - zippo goals scored to 4 in this game and TWENTY ONE goals against to just four goals scored over the last four games in the third quarter... Whatever they're doing at halftime it is nothing but badlands my friend, but if we can just ignore that - which you can when the draw finally opens up and you start playing a whole lotta rosie's - the Mighty's are back in black. yes they're back. in. black. *plays air guitar for 23 seconds of solo* *phew* Never in doubt. Christo Knights is a livewire, Talyor walker over you, and Rutts n the LadyBeater showed some meanstreak in the backline. All good. Come on Bocky - we all know playin with girls gonna get you chopped, yeah playin with girls gonna get you dropped.
Now I know yer all thinking... just how many ac/dc songs can the Horseboy put into his blog this week? A LOT! ;)
So, how bout them tiges eh? You'd have to be pretty good to tip them! (or stupid). I did say to the Pizerule and TreeFiddy that they should tippem but only if they dare. And dare I did. It is of course a given that half the team didn't tip themselves because they've got a lazy tonner on Tezza being sacked after round 11, but not so young Mitch Morton. Nup he had a sense of show business and after spraying it wide against the Paps, this time he spanked the winning goal around the corner - nice. Good to see Benny keeps his public persona in check. Black ice indeed. As opposed to Bocky and those Black Eyes.
On Friday night the Blues won. Well derrr. They were playing the Eagles in Melbourne. Not exactly hard as a rock eh? The Fev kicked some goals. Well... derrr... they were playing the Eagles in Melbourne. Yup, the way the papers were talking you would think the Blues were TNT. Sorry to remind you folks but the Blues played the Eagles in Melbourne. If you think thats a great win, then I'm afraid all too soon you'll be shot down in flames. On yer bike. On Saturday the Doggies took on the Swans in the Nations Capital. No, not Mt Gambier - home of that beautiful Blue Lake. Canberra. Gotta say I thought the Swans would win this one so to see them sit there spellbound on a stormy may day did my tips no good at all! Stupid me. LRT was playing. And the best part was when he tried to exert a little manhood. Oh gold. The Dogs were talking. But that doesn't make much sense cos that's an Angels song. So maybe it was Dog Eat Dog. Maybe.
The Magpies played the Pies on Sunday. For about 22 seconds I thought oh... the Paps are looking like they mean war. I felt kicked in the teeth as the Paps drew first blood and I started to rethink my tip - are the Pies that bad - would they go down? Of course they are, but no they wouldn't. They could still rather comprehensively leave the Paps deep in a hole. And they did. Good!
Most things went to plan this weekend in my quest to get nine teams on 5 n 5 after ten rounds, but sadly the Lions were too good for the Roos. Not surprising but when you have the downpayment blues like the Roos, and a coach like Laides, it must feel like yer havin a nervous shakedown every game.
Finally, both the Sinners and the Catters made it Ten from Ten and both against rather feminine opposition - the Dees and the Dons respectively. I heard Mike Sheahan say that the Cats were in trouble cos Ottens is injured. Yeah... they're REALLY struggling Mike - yer right on the money there! The Cats are the weakest side to ever win 54 from 58 games. Or something like that cos I can't be stuffed lookin it up. The Sinners keep performing pretty well but the Dees are hardly gonna cause a breakdown. Watching bits of that game reminded me of just how bad teams play in patches. Dees. Give it up. So yes, the Sinners are playing well - 10 from 10 doesn't lie - but as we all know, it's a long way to the top if you wanna premiership hold.
The Tippers
Eleven 7's this week. As opposed to 7 elevens which is a buncha stores. The Doggies were the main impediment for many. Ok, for me. Bloody Swans. Hells bells, if only I'd picked the Dogs *sighs*
Overall 101 is now two points clear at the top. Huge effort. Clearly the lack of anything interesting to do in Adelaide is allowing her to cleanse her mind of all ruff stuff. In equal second are her spawn Grunter, and The Nipster. Hmm... people will start talking. King/Queen of the ponyboys table are Luke (the cute one) and Maddstar - 2 clear of their demonspawn bro D Master. Bragging rights f'sure.
In the side comp its the same ole same ole... and yes, I will need to start forcing your hand soon... you can't sit there and pick the Sinners or Cats EVERY week or you'll find yourself thunderstruck. or something.
Round 11
Round 11 is my favorite week because it means I get to hum Bon Jovi. Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah we're halfway there... whoa-oa, livin on a prayer... GOLD jerry!
But I'll be back for my thoughts a little later... :) Can I sit next to you girl?
