Round 5: The Longest Day

Well how friggin long was that round? It went forever and three teams STILL didn't play! Bluddy Hell.  Thank the lordy that there were some close games.

Of course we have the Suns first win which came over the POWERhouse... Unbelievable.  Actually not unbelievable at all.  It is ENTIRELY fitting.  The Paps have had the least ticker in the comp over the last couple of years, getting a H-On twice a year for the Crows and happily coasting to crapdom for the rest of the year.  If there was one team likely to lose to the Suns - especially after playing above themselves the previous week - it was always going to be the Paps.  And it was lovely to see C Cornes on hand for it.  On yer bike. Some ask why people criticise the Paps for beating the Crows... they conveniently miss the second part of the criticism which is 'and then lose to $hit teams'. Or do you rate the Suns now?  M Primus owns the performances... get on board.

The Crows were absolutely woeful in the first quarter.  Simple.  Indeed they were almost as bad as they were agains the Paps last week - which must have been bad cos the Paps are crap.  But then they came back only to be ROBBED by the umps who have some kind of lust affair with C Judd.  If he gets within 2 metres of the ball the whistle is blown and a free kick is awarded.  He gets almost as much love from the umps as Hirdy does from the Melbourne media.  That is a lot of love.

After my call on the Tigers likely to beat the Roos, I changed my tip 5 minutes before the game and was happy for the first half... WHOOPS! I hate that. NEVER change your tip.  Unless it is to change it away from the Hawks.  Dave tipped em for the Granny.  Dave has said the Dockers are crap, and the Cats are past it.  Let these be your guidelines going forward.

Those Pies keep on keeping on.  The Bombers gave em a bit of a push this week but The Puppet couldn't get them over the line, although a 5 goal loss probably being bigger than the actual loss.  The Dockers snuck over against the Doggies in PurpleLand, and the Sinners... hmmm well a win over the Lions isn't major.

Tippers
Lotsa 6's this week but Synnneeeeeeee still leads the way 3 clear of a gaggle of tippers. I can feel it closing though... and in the Knockout this week... you can choose from any game... $90 on the line.

Round 6
7 games and dare I say, 7 pretty tough picks?  I can't believe we are playing another THURSDAY night game.  WHY? Do we need games played 7 nights a week? I AM OVER IT!  But it is a tough pick.  The Eagles n Dees face off after a bye.  Form says tight so home ground advantage takes the points.

Friday night there is some stupid wedding on.  If you are going to be watching it then i want you OUT OF MY COMP!!!  The Swans host the Blues and this should be a cracker.  I'll be there.  Juddy will get his usual 36 frees, but the Swans will win.  Meanwhile the Roos also get their first win up for the year - they are playing the Paaaaah.

The Tigers n Lions face off in Melbourne... hmmm... The Tigers should win, and the Crows betta bluddy beat the Sinners - even Pav said he'd tip em.  But then he probably tipped the Paah over the Suns - FOOL!

Finally the Bombers should easily beat the Suns - like every other team will (whoops) and the Pies will be too big n fast for the Doggies.
