Round 13: Yo Mama Gave Me...

OK well I have to say Brock McLean you are one massive TOOL. No... seriously... At what stage did you think THIS was a good thing to do?  And if you don't like idiots posting stupid things to you on twitter, GET OFF IT.  There is no law that says you have to be on Twitter if you are a footballer.  It's like sending that late night text.  It's NOT a good idea.  They won't say yeah SURE I would love to see you, you sound drunk enough to rock my world!  Ain't gonna happen.  Brock.  Get off the tweet.  You have a footballers brain and even 140 characters is too much for you.

The footy... Yeah yeah yeah... That SUCKED! Not only did the Crows losing to a CRAP team - yes that is you Kangaroos - but I stupidly tipped the Giants. What was I thinking? Actually they looked good until near the end of the first quarter when it was 31 a piece but went downhill pretty farkin quickly after that. It was good to see the Dees get so excited beating a team of 19 year olds - they must have felt so BIG and MANLY as they pushed the kids around and told them they were crap. If anything says where the Dees are it is that they got such a thrill from beating a team they should have.   I can't remember seeing a good team feel the need to do that - Cats, Pies, Eagles - they all just went about their business but the Dees?

I went to the Swans game on Friday night and it turned into a ripper eh? The Cats were nowhere in the first quarter as the swans smashed em all over the park - except for where ever Goodesy was hiding.   Jetta was on fire and LRT kept his distance from general play. They were unstoppable. The second quarter was more old school Swans - grind grind grind.  The third quarter saw the Cats slowly get into it. And the last quarter saw them explode, bang bang bang, into the lead, swans back, cats back, and then Andreas 'I am not a spider' Everett marked and kicked truly to get the Swans over the line. Great game. I still can't see the Swans progressing much beyond the second week of the finals, but Jetta has added some massive bite to their game.  The Cats are looking like they will have to claw their way into 7th or 8th hope for the best.

Equally massive was the Pies n Eagles.  Yes it was a massive game and the Pies won.  And yes I know that their supporters have to have tatts n no teeth just to get female membership, but this extension to the players has gone too far.  The question is, where did it start?  Well we all know that Big Dane Swan has led the way so after some digging around I found his first effort:

Just goes to show how much pre-season training he has been putting in since the start of 2009.  Nice colouring.  But this first one by Beams is more of a cry for help. 

Thats why you never tattoo your lady friend on your arm, and that's why he now has had to undergo extensive tatts just to remove it from his body.

My certainty for the week fell over - the doggies were never in the race against the lions.  Doh. And the bombers broke their hoodoo both in the west and in June. Hurley kicked 6 of the best but everyone's favorite moment was seeing Jetta cop one in the face and the ump 'saw nothing'.  Gold. Even better was that the MRP also saw nothing.  Platinum.  How squeaky is his voice by the way?

Tipping
Hmmm I got TWO! Whoops. After a zillion full houses last week there was one 5 fer this week to dr phanto which takes him to one point behind the new leaders Ih8, ruby2 and TomR. Good effort as the Horseboy drops back a pace or two.

In the streak comp our fearless 'current' leader played safe and tipped nobody, thus ensuring his 22 stayed intact. Now THAT is tactics.

Round 14
Thank fork the 6 games per round is over. There are some defining games this weekend. First up is the Roos n sinners. The winners stay in the race, the losers are gone. I think I say that every week about someone, and given there are 10 teams that will miss out, chances are I will be right more often than not.  The roos are pretenders and will be gone.

Next is the Crows n Tiggers. If the crows lose there will be rumblings, if the Tiggers lose they will be gone. The Tiggers will need more than the Flu going thru the team to be any chance and it is they that will be gone.

While it could be a good game, the Hawks will further consign the Blues to an early 2013 pre-season.  The Pies will smash the Haze as Cloke contenmplates his move West, the Coast will smash the Coast, Sydney will smash Sydney, and Bombers will beat the Dogs - but if you want an upset, that is the one you want.  Oh and the Lions will ream the Dees while the Cats will stay in the race by making the Paps look as bad as they are.
