The NNap can be the only explanation for the Crows effort agains the Swans on Sunday... My lordy they were that bad that they HAD to be asleep. A team of Nanna Nappers may be fine when the games are in the evening, but when it's a Sunday arvo at yer home ground... WAKE UP JEFF!!!! If nothing else it answers the question from last week - were the Dockers good or the Crows bad? A tick to the latter my friends. I dunno what is going on but you know you are in trouble when LRT out-marks you, and between tears I do believe I saw that happen. My spies at the ground - Judge Dredd and Fava Beans - said it was WORSE than that.... the scoreline was flatting... oh my... Message to Mr Craig - GET A PLAN!!!
The Nips n the Crows weren't the only ones Nanna-Napping though. The Power's Jacop Surjan had a bit of a Nanna nap while the Beagles were making a comeback in the last quarter Saturday night... how did it go again? Surjan's down after laying a tackle. He's up. He's walking back to defence. The little annoying Paps runner comes out and tells him that there is time to be wasted here and gets him to lie down on the ground for a Nanna Nap while they bring out the stretcher... Time wasted, Paps re-organise themselves while waiting, stopping the run that the Beagles had... Paps win... he's up again and running into the centre of the ground to celebrate... ahhh the Paps... gotta luv em.
How bout them Dees? I think they caught the Pies having a Nanna Nap of their own. I watched the first 10 minutes of the Pies/Dees game and the Dees were on top! How good was that? Well... not so good if you are a Crows supporter hoping for an easy win in Round 3. But at the time it was bluddy good! Just think of all those people in the side comp who picked the Pies as their certainty! BANG! GONE! hmmm. Sadly the Dees couldn't hold on, and with just four minutes on the clock the Pies took the lead and managed to keep it. 1 point to the bad guys.
On thursday night the Bears n Blues played out the Fev Cup. Seven goals to JB (not Fev) proved to be the difference. How good is he? Unbelievable. Tippet, please watch and learn. At AirConditioned Stadium the Bombers were hosting the Dockers. It was all about Lloydy. They were renaming the Coventry End of the ground to be Lloydy End. Eddie was crying in his Latte - he has them now that he knows they aren't 'gay'. Rumours that people refused to sit at that end cos they thought it could fall over at the slightest touch are not exaggerated. I didn't see any of the game but it looks like the Dockers blew them away in the last quarter. Shame. TAKE THAT DAVE!
ON Easter Monday while you were all scoffing eggs, the Cats n Hawkers were playing out at the Gee in a rather handy game. The Hawks were outta the blocks early and led for most of the game but the Cats managed to pull one out of the bag. Mooney is seriously taking over the mantle of worst kick from 5 metres out in the WORLD. How bad is he? He still managed 4 goals and took a lotta marks. A few reports are expected...
In other games the Kanga's got pumped by the Sinners - Booma managed just 4 touches. He must have heard he was in my dream team. Oh and the Tigers got a caning from the Doggies. B Hall lived to fight another day. Literally. Where is the niggle ladies? Four people thought he would be GONE in round 3 when he lines up against the Hawkers... we shall see!
The Tippers Table
First up... the Side Comp... sadly cos the Pies got over the line, we still have a LOT of people in the comp... so as it jackpots to $30, you will have a reduced field to choose from this week. You must choose your winner from the SUNDAY GAMES only. All other picks will be removed... you have been told.
To the ladder and one tipster managed a full house again this week - Syneeeee potted it and gets and extra point for being a smart arse. Overall, leading the way we have a three-way tie - D Master, Footy Junkie and Seymour Rod are a point clear of a buncha tipsters. At the back of the pack, Bampo forgot to put his tips in... don't forget you can put yer tips in right until the start of EACH game... so even if you forget the first one you can still get the rest in.

Round 3
There are some absolute crackers this week folks. Probably none bigger than the Crows / Dees. Hmmm. Ok, not so big there but if we lose that game you may never see another footy write-up from the Horseboy again. In the MOTR the Sinners play the Pies on Friday night. Huge game. I'll tip the Sinners cos I hate the Pies.
Port Power n Brissy will battle it out at AAMI and form says this will be a great game... who woulda thunk it? I may even tip the Power... Carlton and Essendon will be looking to get back on the winning bandwagon... hey this could be a draw! But who picks those? I think the Bombers should have enough to get the win. They are getting hammered in the press and that means it's turnaround time. But it is a definite 50/50, and amazingly the same could be said of the Purple Ones against the Catters... but you can't pick Freo can you? Sydney will pump the Tigers, but the Doggies n Hawks? It comes down to the In's n Out's... At this stage the Doggies will go in faves though...
