Last weeks results have left a few less options in the bag in this, the penultimate round of 2009, AFL style. Can I be honest with you? This weeks games...? Let's just say there's a lotta gristle in the pie that is Round 21.
First up is an absolute cracker (actually, the only cracker) - the Doggies n Cats. According to My Man on the Ground (Gutterguard), the Dogs were looking RAVENOUS on the track this week. Akkers - as usual - was at his belligerent best, but when he asked Rocket if there was a tall forward he could kick it to, Rocket went mental and threw beer all over him. Down at Gee-Long Bomber was cool, calm and collected. Rumours that he put mini-handbags in each of their lockers are not true, but Gg confirmed that Big Cam Mooney continued to practice handballing from 4 metres out because he still lacked confidence. Gg's tip is that the desperate tippers amongst you will pick a draw. I'm tipping the Dogs.
Gg then travelled to the local roller skating rink where the Dees were training in preparation for their huge battle with Carlton. Apparently it is pretty cheap there on tuesdays, and they have 'double up disco' from 5:30 - 6:30. Sensational stuff. Pretty useless for footy though. They then followed it up with a special viewing of "The September Issue" - assuming it was as close as they were going to get to it. Yes, the Blues will smash the Dees because let's face it, THEY ARE TANKING.
For some reason Gg didn't bother traveling to Footy Park to see the Crows train the house down for their clash against Top 15 side, the Weagles. He preferred to go down to Unley and see how his old mate Ian Perrie was going, but he did however read in The Advertiser that Bocky may be out for the season. Ouch. That would hurt. The Crows will smash the Eagles even without Perrie.
The Lions. Port. Ahhh memories. I curse the Lions for letting the Paaaaah win their first and only Grand Final one year later than the Crows won theirs. The Lions will comfortably account for what is comfortably the worst team to pull on a Port guernsey since inception, and thus end their finals push 2009. Gg wandered down to Alberton and saw the boys practicing peeing on turf. THAT is what those lame arsed boys in Teal have been reduced to. He said he gave the team the benefit of the doubt - it was cold and maybe their manhood was underestimated.
Richmond. Hawthorn. *yawns*
St Kilda. Kangasnooze. Brad Scott? They should have picked him to play. How is he going to coach them without his brother lookin over his shoulder to protect him? Rubbish. Still, he can't be worse than Laidley... can he?
It was at this time that I noticed Gg was starting to struggle. Too much birthday cake maybe? Too much Ribena? Whatever it was, I could tell that he felt uncomfortable talking about the Swans/Pies game. I too feel uncomfortable talking about it cos... well... the Pies are looking quite reasonable. And saying that, is a disturbing thing.
Finally the Dockers n Bombers. I will laugh because the Dockers will beat the Bombers. And that will be funny.
