I know that is what you are all thinking but there are some people that care. For example J Riewoldt. He cares a lot! And if you look closely as he spazzes out you can see he spit out the words... 'bluddy Horseboy...' cos yes... I did replace J Brown with J Riewoldt! But for the record, no I didn't choose L Hayes.
*** NOW... a few of you tipped a NON-SATURDAY game for the knockout comp... it was put in the blog on Monday morning AND as a Managers Message on the Oztips website... so no mercy... sorry... but it's not fair to those that picked Port! ***
Looking through the tips, two tippers scored 7 from 8 - which is a full house in yet another week with a draw - and it says much about the round that one of those people was RedHotChili - a man who over the course of 3 years has bet 8 times for our tipping group and lost EVERY SINGLE BET. Yep, THAT shows that there were some upsets this week.
Despite me tipping the Suns, the Blues smashing em out of the water was not an upset. I think Mr Hunt is being a little harshly dealt with by the media, but he has a cuppla million reasons not to give a sh1t. Will the Suns win a game this year...? hmm. It just shows that bigger bodies put more pressure on and once it's on, it's catching, cos there weren't too many pass marks for the Suns. Meanwhile over in the West the Cats held sway over the Dockers. Didn't see much of it but whenever I did switch over from the car accident on channel 518, it seemed like the Cats were two goals up.
Those Paps are good eh? Even the tarpaulines had more of the ball than half their players. If you can't beat a woeful west coast on yer home turf, then give it up. Maybe the Paps should relocate...? They could combine the Paps, Roos and Suns together, become the Poor Northern Suns and have a great end of year trip. Although to be fair, the Suns should win some games in 2012. Was fun listening to Harvey launching into the rest of his team as they got smashed by the Pies. OOF! No surprises there really though. And ditto the Doggies over the Lions. The Lions/Suns game is going to be special... but a question - why do both Queensland teams have the same colours?
BTW I am SICK of the LOVEFEST that Jimbo Hird is getting from the commentators. It is just pathetic. What is he doing to get this? Massages with Happy Endings? I didn't know the Bombers were playing another team with a name on sunday. I thought Bruce and Jimbo were just gazing at eachother from across the stadium blowing kisses at eachother. Two Words. Tim. Watson. Anyway the Swans gritted it out... not sure if they played overly well.
Speaking of lovefests... the Dees. Let us make this clear. The Dees were ahead at one stage because the Hawks kicked absolutely crap in front of goals. And while bad kicking IS bad footy... it didn't need the Hawks to find another gear to smash the Dees - it just needed them to kick vaguely straight. Yes the Dees will improve this year - they should, given the draft picks over the last 5 years - but just because they manage to scrape ahead on the back of shocking kicking from the opposition, does not make them top 4. or top 8.
The Ladder
RedHotChili and Syneeeeee managed 7 from 7 this week... I can understand RHC doing that but Syneee.... I had more respect for your tipping than that. Either way you are now into the lead - a point clear of a bunch of people who should know better.
Round 3
Pies will smash Carlton. They are Rubbish. But the Blues are worse. Dogs n Suns... uglier than Ling's face after a dog has unloaded on it. Crows n Dockers... home ground gives the Mighty's the advantage but the Dockers are a good team.. GO YOU CROWS! Tigers n Hawks... c'mon Jack! They need you and I need you for my dream team!!! No J, No Chance. If the Tigers get within 5 goals then they have improved this year.
Eagles in the West against the Swans... I can't tip the Weagles... nup... no way. The Dees will be too good for the Lions and the Cats will crush the Power like little par-boiled kipler potatoes. Which leaves the Sinners and Bombers. The Bombers have a good record against the Sinners, but once I heard RedHotChili was tipping em I clicked the lil dot next to St Kilda.
