Round 19 - The Twilight Zone

No, I don't really think this round was worth discussing. Too many results going to CLEARLY the wrong team. Lets start with the Blues n Cats. Cos, yeah, like the Blues are a better team than the Cats... I DON'T THINK SO! But those Catters have gotta be nervous. Yes, they've had injuries, but then the Bocky's G'friend gave him a whack in the leg and he's out for a few weeks. You don't hear US complain. Hmmm the Cats have 3 wins from their last 6. And 2 of those by less than a goal - they could easily have been 1 n 5 from their last 6... Whoa Betsy. Still confident in them giving you 3 bonus points for their Grand Final appearance?

And then the Beagles beat the Doggies. Uhm. OK. So they've lost 2 from their last 4, with one of those wins against the all conquering Dockers... How is that form line looking? I suppose I should be cautious bagging the Beagles cos the Crows play em in a cuppla weeks time but PUHLEASE! They hadn't won away from home since 1983. Of course the Sinners played their 2nds and still beat the Hawks. It's starting to sound like Cricket Australia 5 years ago... "Yeah, lets put a 2nd team in the One Dayers cos the rest of the world is MERDE!" Wouldn't it be a shame to see the Sinners go through undefeated and lose in the Grand Final against someone like... say... The Crows!

How bout them Poms eh? Whatta shame.

The Lions n Bombers. Apparently the players didn't like a draw. They thought 5 minutes each way was a better result. You know what i think? NO! They should have scored another point DURING THE GAME. It's not that hard. Tippett scored a lotta points. Just ask him, he'll show you how. Speaking of which... hmm. Yes. Disappointing is the word. I can't talk about it. No. Seriously.

The Kangas and Melbourne. Who REALLY gives a flying? NO BO DY.

But I will say some kind words for a Great South Australia. Magic Mickey O. 300 of the best. Good work. Solid. No one remembers the parklands. The most number of games by a Sydney/South Melbourne player. Tres Impressive! And the Swans beat the Tigers. Not a bad effort. And finally. Oh my FAVORITE result... the Paps v the Dockers. That my friends is MAGNIFICENT! And the sad thing is that the Paps will STILL make the finals cos everyone else is killing emselves. *sighs*

Tipsters

Well, it is unbluddybelievable but 2 tippers got the draw... Shockeroo and The Anti-Dave. They both picked up 13 points And Shockeroo finds himself in 3rd! Oh the ignominy of it all *sighs* Still in the lead though we have Line in the Sand, 1 clear of 101 who is 2 clear of Shockeroo. And of course the Footy Junkie won the Side Comp... well done. $50. NEXT YEAR I will specify fewer games to choose from each week so that we have a greater turn-over... see... just like Kyle and Stan, I've learnt something today... which means I can go home :)

Round 20

It starts off with the toothless Hawks - or at least toothless Buddy - against the Might of the Crows who will be Hungry for 4 points. I hope. The Crows will win away from home and put the nail in their coffin. RIP 2009 Hawks.

The byes this week go to the Pies and St Kilda.

Brissy and the Dogs. Up in Brissy. This will be a cracker. Seriously, tune in. Will the Doggies come good again or will the Lions leapfrog them into 4th? Season defining my friends. Sydney and Geelong at the Empty House on Saturday night. THERE ARE STILL SOME TICKETS FREE by MR KOWALD. 2 Adults, 2 Children. Please get in touch asap if interested. Oh, and I reckon the Swans will upset the Cats.

Port n Carlton in Adelaide. Get yer uggies out folks, the crowd will be THROBBING with anticipation. Yet another game that Port should win. I reckon they will. The Blues are chockas full of overexpectation after their win over a very down Cats, and the Paps will have been drilled by Chocks all week. Once Great, I am cheering for the Teal this week!

In the games that no one cares about, the Weagles will be too good at home for the Kangasnooze, and Melbourne at home will win their 4th and final game of 2009 against the Dockers.
