Smash the (S)ucker!

Ahhh Scarlett.  As written and spoken 100 times by various folk over the last two days, is there anyone that blames you for taking a shot at serial ####er Haydos Ballantyne.  And that clearly extends to the Match Review Panel who have managed to keep his punishment back to just 3 games!  How good is that?

I am wondering if I can get them on my side when I next run into someone that I think is worthy of a quick roundhouse to the chops.  And as I watch 360 on Fox, I think Robbo fits that bill... my GOD how ANNOYING is he?  Absolute. Clown.  Seriously.  How do they get these roles? I think Bomber Thompson just tried to take a swipe at him.

Hmmm anyway, the Dockers beat the Cats as predicted by the mighty horseboy. I know I know... What a genius!  But no amount of genius was gonna know just how bad the Dees would play.  What a bunch of chumps.  Those mighty Lions without Browny made them look 3rd rate.  Only the Umps and Magner made them look any more than pure poop.  Actually they didn't manage to do that.  They looked rubbish.  Also pure rubbish were those ageing Saints against the Paps.  Or are the Paps gonna have a better year than most thought?  No.  The Sinners are just on the way DOWN folks...  I'm making the call now.  They're gone for 2012!  Yep on the back of a 4 point loss against the hapless hopeless Paaaaa in the first round of a long season, you can kiss it goodbye.  Hmmm have I been watching Mike Sheahan for too long?

Speaking of which... No doubt right now Mr Sheahan is writing epitaphs for the Tigers.  See?  Pure Genius = horseboy.  But hang on... you can't say that the Blues are premiership contenders on one hand and write off the tiggers on the other when they played each other... Fact = Blues ok, Tiggers = bottom 4.

On the other hand the Eagles are looking VERY good and you could have done worse than pick them for the Grand Final.  No, the Bulldogs won't win the flag but they're not crap... and the Eagles made em look silly despite missing two big forwards.   They'll be up there with the Hawks n Pies, and of course the Mighty Mighty's who overcame one of the best defensive units in the team to finish ten goals up.  Go you good thing.

And into Round 2 we go.  All of a sudden the Lions and Carlton ain't so easy eh?  It's up at the Gabba... and when in doubt go the home team.  Just like I did with Melbourne last week... hmm.  No, the Lions will win.

Over at Etihad on Saturday I can't see the Paps beating the Bombers but wouldn't it be nice?  The Swans will have too much for the Dockers as they restart their season again, and the Beagles n Pies will smash the Dees n Tiggers.  Obviously the Crows will spit out the Doggies,  and the Bedigos and Sinners will easily beat the Tinies and Suns respectively, but who will win out of the Cats n Hawks?  Now THAT is tough... the Cats do have the wood over them though don't they?
