Round 11: BAU Resumes

It's a quick turnaround this week with the Queen's Birthday Slaughter on the monday - a late game too - why start so late? - and then for some reason we have a thursday night game.  WTF??  Not sure why would choose a round with 3 less games to then spread them over more days... but thats just me clearly.

Definitely Business As Usual for round 11 and you were an idiot if you thought the Paps were any chance over the Hawks.  Yes I am an idiot.  Reading the papers I see that now the Hawks and Pies are back to favoritism.  Why would anything have changed from last week?  They were both heavy favorites to win over the crappy teams they were playing.

Speaking of crappy, the Bluebaggers have finally worked out what it was that was cooking.  $hit Sandwich.  mmm tastes good eh boys?  The Cats made hard work of it, and the table is such that realistically it will only take both teams a 3 wins in a row to be back up amongst it.  Way too early to write both teams off but I'll tell ya, the blues are GONE and they know it.  I heard that BigEars has booked holidays in September so he can be ready for pre-season on the 1st October.   On second thoughts you may wanna start that pre-season in September Ratts.

More BAU with the Tiggers doing what they do best - losing games they should have won.  They waited to see my tip and BANG.  Thanks for coming.  And they managed to get beaten by a team of schlop that lost their #1 ruckman 3 minutes into the game.  What does that say about their #1 ruckman?  I guess the benefit is that they are then able to bring in an ex-Crows player to cover... what are we?  The feeder team?  You can count the Tiggers out of the finals action now ladies.  Thanks for the thrills.  Goodnight nurse.

There was one sort-of upset on the weekend - the Swans getting over the Bombers.  Looking at the number of points the Bombers kicked... well bad kickin is bad footy.   Still, with the Bombouts kicking 9 goals in the last quarter there would have been some brown pant action going on around the ground.  Nice of Dempsey to play on though eh?

The less said about the Suns the better.  They looked almost as bad as the Dees.  While IH8Crows was busy perving on NudeNick, OnceGreat was left talking about BoysIIMen.  I'm not sure if he meant the Suns looked a bit young, but one thing you don't wanna do is google that at work.

Tippers
Its got tight at the top again with 9 of yas getting 5 from 6 - the Tiggers being the major cause of concern.  Overall 6 people are now tied for 1st, with IH8Crows inexplicably joining the fray.

In the side comp... well it's all too hard now, but Magyver is leading the current streak with 20 - he's going all conservative on us but with half the season left it is anyones, so get on board.

Round 12
Still just the six games this week and starting on thursday night.  Nup, i STILL don't know why.  But it does start with what could be an interesting game.  The injury smashed Eagles who are still doing fine thank you very much vs the have a cuppla injuries and struggling badly Bluebaggers.  It's in the west so you would think the Beagles but if you want an upset, why not start with this one?  (I'll pick the Eagles though.)

Yes the Crows should beat the Sinners.  Yes I had Saad in my dreamteam.  If you h8 the Crows you should tip the Sinners this week.  That's my tip. 

Now... the Giants host the Tiggers this week... and I reckon the Giants are a sneaky chance to get this one.  They have had the week off, while the Tiggers will be a bit gutted from their feeble effort last week... It is definitely winnable, no?  We will of course all pick the Tigs, so if yer in the middle here is your chance to make up ground.  Or fall behind.  Not so sure the Suns are a sneaky against the Roos.  Here is our chance to see if the Coasters are worth $hit.  They were pretty pathetic on the weekend - on the surface it appeared they weren't even there.  They have copped a pasting in the press, and Bluey has called them all very naughty boys, and defintely not the messiah (despite having the Son of God in their team).  I would love to see the Suns pull something out of the bag this week.  Won't pick em but will be cheering for them.  DO SOMETHING PLEASE!

The Hawks will trounce the Lions after Buddy got off for the same tackle Walker got two for, and in the last game the Doggies play the Paaaaah.  Neither team will make the 8 but if it isn't close then the loser has gone backwards this year.

Don't forget your tips on THURSDAY...
