Finals Part 2 - Me Bitter?

*sighs*

I started this rant on Saturday, prior to the Pies/Crows game...

*sighs*

I was so full of venom...

*sighs*

And now I feel...

*sighs*

*sighs*

What I was GOING to say though, was just how UNBELIEVABLE it is that a PIES supporter (alleged) would tip AGAINST his team in a 50/50 game. Not once. But twice. And now actually probably three times cos if he didn't pick em against the Crows there's no chance of picking em against the Cats.

NIPSTER YOUR DIRTY ROTTEN FILTHY PIES MAY HAVE WON BUT YOU ARE STILL A DISGRACE TO YOUR TEAM!

You should have taken a lesson or two from another Top Ten Tipper - Footy Junkie. Yes, this brother of Peter Andre - you may have known his lil Bro as the Funky Junkie - is a Pies Supporter who had the fella's in his pants to pick his own team. Indeed if you click HERE then have a lil gaze at the street view at the corner of Martin Place and Macquarie St, you will see him just starting to STRIP OFF and DISPLAY HIS WARES TO THE MASSES! He has thus been reward with a move UP the ladder... Something that the Nips would have done if he has shown some of THESE *grabs my fellas* (no, I don't mean if you had mine...)

Indeed you are a part of a group we now refer to in the Horseboy Tipping Comp as "The Dave Five". Currently it only has 2 members (Dave and Nips) but we have to leave room for more to get on board.

Absolute.
Disgrace.

I must admit that I do not know why people do that. Fair enough if it was a lay down result. Say... you are a Melbourne supporter playing anyone but say... West Coast. Or maybe Hawthorn. But 2 x dead set 50/50s in a row and you go AGAINST your team? I think I am going to have to build some lack-of-loyalty-punishment into the comp next year. Dave & Nips would be lined up and shot eat and every week. And they'd probably have some words of wisdom on it like... 'I was a winner either way...'

Friday night the Doggies easily beat the Lions. Money for Jam. Didn't even bother watching it. Whoever won was going to get destroyed by the Sinners next week, and yes, the Sinners will absolutely destroy the Doggies. Simple as that.

Saturday night... do I HAVE to go through it? The worst part was that in Sydney we didn't even get it live - it was on an hour delay. And channel 10 being channel 10, they made us sit through the quarter/half/3-quarter time breaks with all their CRAP. Those stupid stupid stupid bluddy intros to the games. Do they REALLY think people are watching those going "wow, this is great! I didn't realise he could walk a tightrope!". Do they REALLY think people want to listen to some SACKED PIECE OF CRAP COACH tell us how they would go about it? If yer so go why did they SACK YOU YA BUM?!!!!

Yes, an hours delay, I have to listen to clowns like Laidley say things like "Spread and Dead" or something, and all the while the result lay there for me just 15 metres away... teasing me... I knew it wasn't gonna be good. Too many chances wasted as the Pies played crap. And when Knights went down and the rotations went up, the confidence went down. Mine did anyway. RUBBISH! No, I didn't think we'd be a chance to beat the Cats next week, but the game was ours... and yes, I was gutted mofo's!

But that's not the worst part. Oh no... the worst part is that the Nipster is heading North next week and I'm gonna have to listen to him blame the umps when they pay a free after some scabby Pies player has shoved his elbow into Ablett's face, or they place two hands flat in the back of Mooney, or they hold, scrag and wipe their blood on Selwood's guernsey. "RUBBISH!" he'll scream like a demented banshee (after tipping the Cats anyway) "soft! That blood was already coming from his face!"... ahh... joy...

Tipping...
So of course most of you picked the Doggies n Crows, but a few picked the Pies. Twenty of you. So by my reckoning that is 19 people who were well out of the running. With just 3 games left for the tipping comp (yes it includes the Grand Final), the major impact will clearly be your Grand Final picks, with 3 points per correct pick.

Without naming names...
* 46 picked the Cats
* 10 picked the Doggies
* 8 picked the Pies
* 3 picked St Kilda

Of all those...
* 8 picked the Cats n Dogs
* 2 picked the Cats n St Kilda

So what does that mean? Not much... it's all too late now my friends... just tip n hope.
