Round 4: Joy. Joy. Joy.

Do I need to say anything on THAT topic?

Before this weekend I had been able to say that we lost to the Dockers who are playing great footy.  We lost to Sydney who could easily be unbeaten and are playing good footy.  But that's where wishful thinking becomes a little fantasy cos while I can say the Dees are clearly improving (they did after all beat the Mighty Crows and the Tenacious Tigers)... there is NO way I will say that the Blues are any good.  And they PUMPED us.  Get. F.

Of course the Hapless Paps were also pumped but at least that was by the best team of the last 3 years.  95 points is a bit of a train wreck though eh?  11 goals in the third quarter is more than the Crows have kicked in Rounds 1-4.  Combined.  *sighs*  It's lucky this is all done on a computer cos the ink would be running under the weight of my tears if this was on paper.  24 wins in a row at home to the Cats.  That's some home ground domination.  Yes, the last time they lost there was to da Paps but I think we can safely say they have overcome any mental scarring since then.

As expected, Master of The World Is Against Us Even If I Did Call That Annoying Little Rpist a Rpist and Then Lied and Said I Didn't But How Dare They, managed to get the Pies up against a tired looking Hawks.  But the result that kinda surprised me was the Lions over the Dogs.  Fev put $5000 on the Lions apparently and they - along with St Kilda - are the only unbeatens left in the comp.

The Bombers put together a 4 quarter performance against the Eagles - they played equally sht for the entire game.  Must say that is better than showing 8 minute spurts of excitement followed by 24 of shizer.  Crowsfc's texting bill must be phenomenal.  Ah well... at least I have the Swans...

The Ladder
6 people got the full house this week.  Including my Nemesis... hmmm.  Cocky b'stard.  Typical Blues Supporter.  Anyway, Kermit's 9 pointer puts her equal tip with Once Great. nice work!

In the side comp... down to 6 cos the Paulverisor chose a sunday game... titch titch... and given all the games are pretty much easy picks (60x9 pointers this week!) you can choose from any game... Jackpot up to $50.

Round 5
Oh the pain it lingers.  And I have to admit that Round 5, 2010 is the first time in quite a while that I will have to back The Opposition... The Western Bulldogs will rebound from their loss to the Lions and spank us.  Do you know how much it hurts to say that?

My new team Sydney will give the Eagles a reaming but a very interesting game will be the Dees and Lions.    Only percentage keeps the Dees from the 8. Oh lordy I can smell -4 points coming at the end of this season for horseboy.  I think Fev n Browny will have too much body strength for the juniors down at Dee land and Brissy will remain undefeated.  As will The Sinners who will do the job on the Paps.

It's hard to see the Pies, Dockers and Hawks losing, but one stat no one has pointed to is that each team that has beaten the Crows, has won the following week.  They must get a lot of confidence out of beating such a solid team.  For that reason you can expect the Blues to beat Geelong.  Not.
