Screw round 12.5 - it was the biggest yawn since I wrote that joke email and forwarded it on to all@treasury.gov.au - how was I to know that they couldn't take a joke? *sighs* Still, it's been time well spent by all sides don't you think?
Round 13 is where it's at and I can't wait! It starts with a battle between that bastion of the mediocrity circa 2009 - Essendon - and that bastion of mediocrity circa 2009 - Carlton. Speak to their supporters (James Hird, The 'Falcon' Nightingale) and they will tell you they should both be 12 n zip after the 12 rounds. It's possible they meant 12 losses of course in which case I'm not arguing, but Jimmy-Boy can't let go of the past. Me says the loser of this will not make the 8. And the only 8 the winner will make is the bottom 8. But it should be a good game, cos ask them - they are both quick.
On Saturday the Pies will cement a spot in the Top 6 by smashing the Dockers. I don't care how close the Dockers get - they are crap. Heave Ho boys. It's time to look at draft picks 2010. Yes, that does mean I rate the Pies as a reasonable second tier team this year. It hurts but it's true. Still, Micky Mouse continues to annoy in ways that I thought only a vagrant flatworm could.
Then the Crows come up against the last chance Swans. Mickey O has announced his retirement at the end of 2009. Ahhh Mickey - one of many great South Aussies to grace the park. And no, of course I'm not referring to any 'incidents' in the Adelaide Parklands. UNSUBSTANTIATED is how I would term it. Anyway... Mickey O is a rather fine player and he should just get to 300. I knew a guy who once made 300. Didn't rate him cos he barracked for the Pies and forced his children to wear Black n White to ANZ - Shame PizeRule, Shame. PizePull maybe! or PizeFool maybe! or PizeAreSux maybe! No... please stop me... I could do this all day... PizeArePuss maybe! or PizeMakeMeCuss maybe! or... ok. Anyway, Shame GayBoy Shame. Talk about dumbing down what I THOUGHT were quite intelligent kiddies.
So, form says the Crows but the Swans will be all guns blazing. And then lose. GO YOU GOOD THING! Actually it will be nice to have some players back from injury and illness - I wouldn't want to blame that for not winning by more than 15 goals each week, but when yer missing some of yer top players it really hurts.
The Eagles host the Hawks. Chalk this one in as yer upset ladies. the Eagles are admittedly quite crap, but at home I reckon they'll have enough in the tank to account for the PooBrowns. Jeff will be writing more letters to the website and Ando will move on from blaming injuries to blaming the umps. You know it, and I know it. If only the Hawkers midfield could kick it as long as Ando *sighs*
In the other Sat night game the Lions will hammer the Dees. It wouldn't matter who was playing the Dees, that line would remain 83.3% intact. The Dees are the worst team to grace a football field since the Sinners of the 80's or Port from last year. Lions by 15 goals.
Sunday and you can put the same margin on the Cats over the Paps. Come on Port supporters - lets see some loyalty - back yer team. Aren't these the kind of games you guys come out and win? Admittedly even yer Coach is sick of the sight of half the team, and hasn't seen the rest cos he rarely bothers showing up at training - he's too busy writing his CV. The Cats do look vulnerable at the moment. Is it just that they are biding their time? It must be annoying always having to play teams that are lower than you. But vulnerable or not, the Cats won't let this slip with the Sinners up in the next round.
The Roos. How ordinary is Crocker. He wouldn't look outta place coaching the Mt Lofty under 8's (go you Devils!). Crocka-sht. Shhh I didn't say that. But seriously - he is ordinary isn't he? On The Couch asked him "What different are you bringing to the team?". His answer was so inspiring I reckon I turned over to watch Double Shot of Love without even realising. Those twins are waaaaaaaaaay cute eh? i don't like their taste in men though - there were no tall skinny pale dudes for them to choose from. The ladies....? Not too bad. But that's their loss. ANYWAY with a Coach like Crocker the season will leave them with a buncha barries and you can pencil them in for 2 more wins this season - and neither of those will be against the Doggies who ARE a good team.
And speaking of mismatches involving recently coach-freed teams against good ones, the Tiggers play the Sinners. The Tiggers. It's all been said before. They are rubbish and the man to blame is T Wallace. Five years in charge and they have gone backwards. The only positive about Tezza is that he was no Rawlings. I wouldn't let him coach the Mt Lofty under 8's (go you Devils!) - never trust a man that looks like Mr Squiggle.
