As Johnny Rotten so eloquently put it... God Save The Queen!
Any excuse for a holiday. Cept the Sandgropers who clearly HATE her and refuse to celebrate. Yep, over there they are waiting on Pippa's Birthday for a day off. Those guys are WAY ahead of the pack eh? Although I am not 100% sure of what the fuss is - sure she'd be a standout if she worked in... say... IT... but yer not exactly aiming high with that one.
So while the West are all at work, we are subjected to the thrill that is Melbourne v Collingwood. You know I actually thought that given the Pies were without almost their complete midfield, the Dees may be a show. Oh my.
But back to the West, and I am sure they are starting to get a lil cocky. Their teams are winning. One with half the team out with injuries, the other with... well... I dunno... People picked them for bottom. At least with the Dockers we sorta knew they were a reasonable team. But the Eagles... what has happened there? We know it wouldn't be the first time they have the taint of drugs. Testem all I say. Is Ricky Nixon the team manager? If so then nuff said. Of course I am lying...
Anyway, it's not like the Coke Sniffing Beagles beat anyone really. The Crows managed to get their customary 3 goals up early, wasting opportunities but still playing well... and then... well... the standard. Dzzzt. Fail. They would need to be 8 goals up with 6 minutes to play before I could start getting excited at the mo. And that would have to be against the Suns. Actually to be fair we have been playing good halves of football until Saturday - but against the Eagles we could only manage a quarter. Exit stage left. Time to start tipping the other teams...
Huge game between the Cats n Hawks again, and yet again the Cats got over the line and remain undefeated at the top of the table. Shame that Buddy feels the need to fall over at every opportunity eh? SUCKA!!! Too much time watching tapes of Lloydy perhaps? And the beige blouses are starting to whinge over Selwood and Renouf. Tears all round.
Meanwhile over here in ye ole Sydney Towne it has been bucketing down. As if I needed an excuse not to go for a run...? I know I know... HTFU MOFO!!! But seriously, as the three of you who accidentally watched the Swans/Tigers game yesterday can attest to, it is wet. The Tigers were kept in the game by absolutely crap kicking from the Swans and nearly ran away with it. Bad kicking is bad footy apparently. Goodesy continues his irregular formline. The commentators last week suggested he was in Brownlow form. If so then it will be all 3 pointers or nothing cos there's been nothing in between. Four points and no goals. COME ON!
The Blues beat the Lions - no surprises there - and no great surprises in the Dockers win over the Bombers. Even without Sandilands and about 2/3 of the squad the Purple Haze were too much for the the Hirds. The BombOuts are GONE for season 2011, and James Hird's coaching career is gonna go the way of T Watson. Starts well and then dies in the Ass - a bit like that gerbil R Nixon was last seen whispering sweet nothings too.
As Goddard's career at the Saints is questioned, he finally had a decent game and the Sinners beat the Doggies. This time last year they were both top 4, but now... nada. And I threw away my $15 and dead certainty on the Suns. F**K!!!!!!! I should have checked the teams first - Josh 'not even tradebait' Fraser was selected and from that moment on it was trouble. He will be GONE next year... maybe GWS will take him? You know yer a crap footballer when C.Hunt adds more to the team than you do.
Tippers
WELL! A number of full marks - 13 people got 8 from 8 and thus also get a bonus point - but leaping into the lead alongside Nelson we have Chris Judd's Married Hare. Halfway there and living on the prayer that is C Judd. Good to see they didn't fall to the promise that I thought may be the Suns. And speaking of which, the side comp got a few in 2 ways. Firstly of course some DID pick the Suns - me included. And others didn't pick from that game at all. Fools. It's on the managers comments - and was from Sunday night - and on this 'ere blog. Ah well the show goes on.
Round 13
I know we are supposed to build up the footy but Round 13 is just full of sht games. OK OK... I know I am just taking out my angst at the round but seriously - show me a decent game? Bulldogs n Crows. Pfft who cares. *sobs* not me (unless we win). Hawks n Suns. Well not a lot of competition there. Bombers n Roos. Oh LORD. The Roos won't be winning this one. Brissy will get a win over Richmond to continue their run of outs, and Geelong will be way too good for the Sinners who are only looking good cos they are playing poop teams.
Freo will beat the Dees cos... they will... the Blues will lose to the Swans and the Eagles will do the double on South Australia by smashing the Paps.
