Round 8: I'm Outta Here

That's right! You heard me!  There's only so much passion I can muster!  Did you actually SEE the Crows in that third quarter?  It made Pittman look less than Pathetic.  Sure we came back to only lose by 2 kicks but c'mon!!!!

Sure it's ok for Paps supporters - they are used to failure.  Success is getting the dole cheque through on time.  Pies supporters?  One premiership in 51 years speaks volumes.  And Tigers supporters would be devastated that they had to change their September holiday plans if success smacked em in the face and they suddenly finished 8th.  But as a Loyal Crows Supporter who just tipped 2 from 8... well self-flagellation appears to be the order of the day and I am off to punish myself in South Africa with 89km of pleasure.  If yer feeling frisky apparently they provide reasonable updates on the website - the run is on the 30th May but I will be adios next Sunday so The Nipster is providing some blog lovin to you all.

Words of advice... He has been dealt a couple of blows - Blood Nutted AND a Pies Supporter.  And it is indeed true that he took a cue from Benny Cousins and had "Life is Crewl" tattooed across his stomach.

So.  Two from 8.  I changed my tips about 6 times and it paid off in spades.  I put money on the Cats/Sinners double (paying $1.90) and that paid off in spades.  It's all good.  Yes the Pies beat the Dockers.  Not unexpected - a 50/50 in every sense.  And I am prepared to take the optimism that was the Swans over the Doggies.  And maybe i have underestimated the Blues.  Or briefly overestimated the Paaaaaaaaah (not sure what I was thinking there).  And Loyalty loses me the Crows tip.  But the Beagles beating the Dees and the Bombers beating the Sinners?  Hmmmm.  That's just WRONG.

The Ladder
So the knockout is down to 3 - Pavsthaman bowed out due to loyalty... and with $90 on the line, it is getting interesting.  One game to pick from... Sydney v Fremantle... Get to it!  The next 4 weeks are on the sidebar... if it is finished prior to my return then the side comp will be on hold until then :)

In the tipping itself, Syneeeeeee's loyalty was the only thing that cost him a perfect 8 from 8 and the outright lead, but PavPaaaa still leads the pack, one clear of Mr Syneeeee, D Master and bjak.


Round 9

Another MOTR on the Friday night... the Pies n Cats.  If the Pies win this then they are truly contenders, and Mr Nips will be doing more than salivating over his keyboard as he writes to you next week.  I'll tip the Cats but thats just hatred.

The Roos are obviously very good having just beaten the Crows, but the Doggies are on the way back and will be too good, while I reckons the Swans will give Freo their 2nd loss in a row.  The Tigers will get their first win up over the Bombers, who are shit despite beating the Sinners, and the Dees will leave Pav wishing he was on his way to Saffa and lining up for 89k of pleasure himself...


You all know the Crows will beat the Lions and the Blues beat the Hawks, but the upset will be when St Kilda lose again... ouch...


Good luck all - see you in 4 weeks time!
