Lets be honest. It hasn't been the best year for Horseboy, and the Crows pitiful performance against a pathetic Paaaaah tops it off nicely. What were they thinking? Neil Craig is blaming the loss on the victory against the Cats. Bloody Cats. Even when you beat them you end up losing. THAT is the mystique of Geelong circa 2010.
It all started off so well. Well, it started with a draw. Knowing what a ripper of a game it was going to be, I sent our reporter Mad Jacob down to Etihad to the Hawks n Sinners play what he reports as the match of the year. He believes the Saints were diddled. He said the ground was perfect under foot. He said that Campbell Brown deserves 4 weeks. He said that in the last round of golf he played, he was hitting the ball quite short. And he insisted that Fiona was diddled by the judges in MasterChef. Only one of these is correct.
There were some hammerings on the weekend. The Pies smashed the Tigers. After 2 seconds I was tired of hearing how Jake King was a player that played to his strengths. He is crap. He is the only player worse than LRT in the AFL. If he played to his strengths he would be delivering oranges at the half time break of the under 10's. After 10 minutes I was tired of goals being kicked by the Pies.
Hammerings. Cats n Lions. Have you ever heard a team take such little interest in their own team song? The Lions are in a world of pain.
Hammerings. Doggies n Dockers. Wasn't this a battle for the top 4? I keep telling you all, the Dockers are heading for a fall. Spank. See, I won't even mention Akkers.
Hammerings. Melbourne n Sydney. Ugly. Uglier than Cameron Ling dressing up as a woman. Uglier than Tony Abbott kissing Bronwyn Bishop. Uglier than LRT's brain processes as he weighs up options across the half back line. Uglier than the completely one-sided commentary by Bruce, Richo, Dennis and Co. It was like listening to Melbourne's very own cheer squad before the game even started. Ugly.
There were some close games though - the Bombers somehow found form and beat the Roos. They did this purely to annoy me. Actually it didn't annoy me at all because I am extremely happy with Matty Knights continuing to coach the Bombers for many years to come. The Roos did what they do best. Perform poorly when I tip them.
And finally the Blues beat the Eagles. Form? Don't ever use it when picking yer tips.
The Ladder
The Gutterguard picked the draw and managed a 12 pointer. Such has been his tipping prowess this year that he is still out of the cash. Still leading the way by a million miles is D Master with bjak and the footy junkie in 2nd, 2 points clear of the rest...
Round 18
Its getting pointy but I think the 8 is set ladies. That said, the Bombers will probably beat the Sinners this week. THATS what they do. Annoy me. Collingwood will smash the Blues, while the Hawks will kill the Paps, cos the hawks don't wear crows guernseys and the Paps only perform against their big brothers.
Sydney will sadly get caned by the Cats. Any game that sells itself based on Mike Pyke's presence is in trouble. But Brissy v Melbourne is a different kettle of fish... form says Dees. I say Brissy.
The Crows will account for Richmond as Neil's posse continues to frustrate me, and the Doggies and Freo will both easily beat their opposition...
Another 8 from 8 for the Horseboy! Too easy...
