Round 14. You Can't Touch This.

HAMMER TIME!

This is what computer dorks do when they have too much time on their hands perhaps?

Well I laughed.

More than the footy is making me laugh.

Yes, I do have L Franklin and J Bartel in my Dream Team.  Thanks for asking.

Round 13 was officially the Day the Music Died.  Or the Day Horseboy conceded that tipping the Crows for the rest of the season is a lost cause.  Round 14 Horseboy tips the Cats.

And the Cats are going along rather nicely I think you'll all agree.  Some are saying they had lucky wins.  Those some are supporters of the teams that were beaten by them.  My guess is that if the situation was reversed they wouldn't be conceding their team was 'lucky', so HTFU.  The Saints are shells of their former selves.  Video may have killed the radio star, by a few nude shots of N Riewoldts flaccid fella have killed the Sinners.  Thirteen people tipped the Saints for the Granny.  Good luck with that.

Speaking of good luck with Granny Picks, the Doggies won't get to play the Crows every week and 14 of you picked them.  Other doomed to failures appear to be Adelaide (2), Melbourne (2) and the Beagles for bottom (5).  Some of you picked combo's of these.  Ahhh well... what can ya do?

The Beagles are unbelievable.  Yes, I thought they would fail by now.  They have the Blues this week in Melbourne - win that and they are 'legitimate' in that they can beat an average team in Melbourne, not just in Sponsor Stadium.  Lose it and they still are really, although bandwagons roll on the back of week by weeks.  M Sheahan = Clown.  I still maintain the Blues are overrated.  Unfortunately each week also shows that 13 teams are rubbish.  For those doubting, please check exactly who the Blues have beaten and show me the WINS.

Good to see the Bombers crash back - 4 losses in a row and 5 coming up.  Six weeks without a win if you count the bye.  Oh the shame.  And Daaaave has resolved to back em each week for the rest of the year.  Goodnight nurse. That said, no Franklin, no Roughead, no Ruckman, no Hawks?

For the Dockers it's no David Mundy, no Peter Faulks, no Joel Houghton, no Hayden Ballantyne, no Aaron Sandilands, no Gavin Roberts, noTim Ruffles, no Adam McPhee, no Nick Suban, no Viv Michie, no Anthony Morabito, no Dockers.  Unless they play Essendon.  So the Hawks are a good chance.

Tippers
3 tippers picked 8 from 8 this week - Drizabone, RedHotChilli and DirtBrownCowboy.  And that puts Driza into rarified territory.  At the Top!  And he is in england.  He must have some major graph work going on that bedroom wall of his.  It's starting to thin out a bit now - time to make yer move before it is too late.

Round 14
Last week was a snorefest.  There were no good games really and the one I thought may be good was a smashing (blues n bloods).  But this week we start with the Burial of the Bombers.  RIP 2011 The Puppet.

On Saturday I'm giving the Suns a chance against the Bulldogs at home.  Paying $5, this would be an excellent value TEAM bet, while the Tigers and Dees battle it out for 8th n 9th at the end of the season.  Tigers cos it's an even week.

It's a Pies homegame against the Swans.  Have they ever lost at Bank Stadium?  The Nipster is making a trip assuming a victory is in his miserly grasp, and I'm thinking it will be.  The Swans are lacking forwards - when LRT is on the ground it is bad enough but if he goes forward then you know you have issues.

Speaking of value bets, the Crows are paying $11 against the Cats...

Hey I just saw that the Eagles are paying $4.50 against the Blues.  Seriously.  My lordy.  That said, I guess I'll be picking the Blues at home.  And finally the Power n the Roos.  Who knows.  Who cares.
