Round 14: Dead Golf Blues

My golf has recently been much like the Suns footy. Ie no friggin hope. I scored 3 points on the front 9 on Sunday. No. Seriously. On the second hole I was on the green in two (par 4) and then wiped the hole. Putt. Putt. Putt. Putt. Putt. Pick the fucka up lukeeee boy. It was killing me. And with 16 holes to go all i could think of was "at least i am not guy mckenna". Not just cos then I am not a bloodnut, but also because I am still a chance to actually win a game this year whereas the Suns have pretty much no chance. Ok ok... My chances of winning a round this year seem remote but I did get a nearest the pin and 3 pars on the back 9, while the Suns back 9 are going to lead to FAIL FAIL FAIL.

The Suns of course got absolutely hammered by the Beagles. Not exactly the biggest surprise, but how light are their bodies? They just don't look ready for anything. Contrast with the giants - who also got smashed - and they seem like a bunch of outside players. This is an admittance of being... W...w....w...wrong... Cos at the start of the year I ridiculed the Giants selections, but they actually picked a whole heap of mid-tier bigger bodied players and their young players already seem mature, while the suns are all runners who aren't even doing that very well.  And not helped by injuries and Brennan being crap.

There was only one real 50/50 on the weekend and most of us picked the Sinners in that one. Those bloody Kangas eh? Just when you thought you had 9 from 9 and the bonus point in yer hot little hand they come along and win. What a rubbish cupola teams they are. And now the Roos are in the 8. They won't stay there but who will make it is anyone's guess. The rest of the weekend pretty much panned out as expected. The hawks smashed the blues to knock them out of the 8, the pies easily accounted for the haze despite their best attempts at kicking themselves out of the game. The bombers bashed the doggies who are now officially GONE, the cats the Paps, and the Lions showed just how bad the dees are with an absolute killing. Oh and the crows did it very easy over the Tiggers before being robbed by the MRP of Walker. AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE! Hmmm oh ok... Maybe fair enough... although three weeks seems a bit stiff.  Not sure about Goddard getting 2 for a love tap either.  Is he a redhead?

Tippers
3 whoppers this week with Judge Dredd, Trenta and Crowsfc flippin out the full house while 35 fell for the sinners curse. Overall though there was no change in the top 10 with ih8crows clearly loving them as they continue to win, and ruby2 and TomR maintaining their lead. Ih8 better pick the Paps this week!

Round 15
As with every week there are some good bad n ugly games this week, but however you judge the first game it will be big, with the pies n blues duking it out Friday night.  Logic says the Pies by how much.  Last time they met it was the Blues by how much and Sammy The Falcon was casting all sorts on the Pies...  Ahhh Sammy... ten weeks is a long time in footy eh?  The Blues are looking at sacking Ratten in the next month while Bucks is looking at letting Cloke go to the Haze while remaining premiership favourites.  Yes that hurts.  This is the game where the Blues could draw a line in the sand.  They won't - they'll lose by a lot.

On Saturday the Roos host the Eagles.  The Eagles will be faces and will win after a close first half. That said, those kangas are statistically the hardest team in the comp to pick.  That aint based on fact but it sounds close to the truth. Meanwhile the Dees play the Tiggers and this is the kind of game we all know the Tiggs do actually lose, so if you are looking for an upset, tip the Dees and be nervous.  I'll tip the Tiggs.

Sydney will easily beat the Lions to put em back in their box, but I reckon the Sinners are a sneaky chance to come back and get the win over the Bombers.  The latter are kinda due for a loss.  No Goddard could be a good thing - but better would be no Clarke.  The Hawks and Cats will smash the Coast n Giants, while the Crows will clearly kill off the Paps who have 3 players left on their list.  And finally Freo will clean up the Doggies to keep in the race and put themselves back in the 8.

GO YOU CROWS!
