Round 12 - Easy Games Made Hard

Well that was an exciting round eh?

YAWN

In all the games the favorite got up but bad kicking kept the oppositions in. And while there was focus on the Sinners missed opportunities, Tippers missed some pretty easy shots too which would have meant the game was over a bit earlier, but the standard BIASED commentary kept talking about their lovechild Nick Riewoldt.  Does the word OVERRATED mean anything to you? *stirs*  Well, I would be stirring if there was a Sinners supporter in here but I am yet to meet one.  And when I do I will ask them what they were doing at half time in the 1997 Granny. SUCKERS.

I was never nervous by the way. EVER.

BLOODY GIANTS! I PUT TEN BUCKS ON YA @ $15!!!

I don't have much to say but Lance Armstrong took performance enhancing drugs apparently. No kidding Sherlock.  When are they just going to legalise them in cycling? Just admit that they have always taken drugs and always will?  Bang. Problem solved. In the 20s they took coke to ease the pain, now they take who knows what. Allow it and then I wouldn't have to pretend that when australian cyclists do well, they are clean while all other countries are dirty.

Tippers
Well that was a pretty easy round if you just stuck to the favorites.  And the best part about a short round is you still get a bonus point.  Of course if you forgot to put the tip in on thursday for the early game then you kinda reap what you sow.

THIRTY FOUR TIPPERS picked the full round.  Thats a lotta whoppers.  It also means if you got the full monty you probably didn't move too much.  As such the top of the table appears gridlocked.

In the Side Comp some HERO picked all 6 games.  Thank you... thank you... that takes me to... 8.  But leading the way is Magyver - not out on 22 and now equal 3rd... he is playing it simple but will he tip anyone this week?  Not too many easy ones.

Round 13
One last set of 6 before we go back to the standard and I reckon this weeks is the best of the lot.

Starting with the friday night clash between the Swans and the Cats at the SCG - this should be a ripper. There aren't enough Friday night games in Sydney and damnit I will be there. Goodes is back and I will tip the Swans cos the Cats are less than convincing at the moment. $1.60 last I saw.

On Saturday the Dogs should have too much for the Lions and thus stay in delusional touch with the 8.  I read in the paper that the Dogs are playing better this year.  Really?  You sure?  They haven't beaten anyone of note. 

Then we have the big one between the Pies n Eagles. This could be a preview of the Prelim final to see who comes second against the Crows 2012.   It is big.   Are any players coming back?  Home ground gives it to the Pies but this will be one of the games of the year. Fact. Hard n tough. And hopefully a couple more injuries each.

Over in the West the Dockers host the Bombers. Another big game. If the Dockers win then they are back in the eight knocking out Lyons old mob. The Bombers lose and that June hoodoo is looming large. Hmmm If I tip the Docker and they lose I will be PISSED OFF.  Maybe go the Daaaave and tip the Bombers but be happy if they lose. Win/Win.

On Sunday the Dees host the Giants. The heart says the Giants. The head says the Dees are shit. But can the Giants play out four quarters?   Lloydy came out this week and said Izzy is not hope and a waste to which Sheeds said Lloydy never liked a challenge.  Well what about the challenge of falling forward?   GO THE MARGIN BET!

And finally the Crows play the Rangeypoos. These are the games top 4 teams need to win. The roos are a very ordinary unit while the Crows are fading late in their games. You know the Crows will win.
