Pa-pa-pa-pa...

Matty, Matty, Matty... Paa, Paa, Paa... Not much to say eh Mr Thicky? PavPaaaa?  It's all quiet down at Alberton.  We all know the Paps lost to the Giants... And became the first team to lose to both the Suns and Giants... And Primus is gone after less than two years...
And then Mini-Libba was out on the piss, passed out and got caught with a little too much happiness in his pocket...
And then Dane Swan was out on the piss, told his teammates he wasn't... And his teammates didn't believe him...
Oh dear.
Along the way the crows smashed the bombers to leave them less than 1% in the eight, the Swans killed the Blues to leave them 2 games outside the 8, the umpires beat the Sinners to leave them 2 games outside the 8, the Haze somehow pumped a rapidly vapid Eagles, and the Tiggers beat the Lions to annoy me.  Oh and the Cats nailed the Hawks onto a Kennett Kross, and some other games that no one one gives a shit about were played.

Tippers
No surprises that there was no full house this week but the game that cost Syneeee a whopper wasn't the Paps cos he knew they were shit.  No the game that cost him was the Tiggers.  At the top of the table Ih8crows is still leading by 2.  Who will she support after the Paaah go bust after the broadcast deal?  Ruby2 is 2 behind, and then there is the rest...

Oh and YES we tip through to the Grand Final folks...

In the side comp, there are some people creeping up... plenty of time to get in that top 3 streaks though!

Round 20
It all kicks off with the Eagles and Geelong.  The Eagles have been dropping... the Cats on the up.  Suffice to say there are a lot of nervous teams in the top 8 at the mo cos we all know the Cats at their best are very hard to beat.  Will home turf be enough?  Tough pick but I'll give the Drug Runners one more chance. 

Sinners n Melbourne?  Who cares? Not Brad Green.  Sinners.  On the other hand the Crows n Dockers will have an impact on the 8... the Dockers seem to be doing good things in the last month - the Crows have been going ok, but that Cats game dulled them down a little.  Big game and the Crows should get home with Tippett being knocked out in the first ten minutes by kepler bradley.

There is one game that affects you all... it is the Goldies v the Giants.  Why?  Cos this could dictate who finishes bottom... and most of you picked the Giants... but some picked the Suns... so that is a 5 point turnaround on the table... Here is a chance for the Suns to get their first win at home - the Giants have lost a couple of players (Ward being the main one).  I'll go the Suns.

While Carlton should beat Brisbane to technically stay in the race for the 8, the Swans play the Swanless Pies at ANZ or whatever it is called these days.  Yep it is well known the Pies haven't been beaten by the Swans since 1826, but the Swans have a bit more pace these days.  Tough pick in the MOTR.  I'll go the heart pick and Swan up but without conviction.

The Hawks should smash Port into yesterday, and the Tigers should beat a drugged up Doggies, but the last game of the round will have the biggest implications on the 8.  The Bombers n Roos play off and a win will probably leave them safe, a loss will leave them vulnerable at best, and outside the 8 at worst (if the Haze beat the Crows).  Here is a chance for the Roos to really show what they are made of.  They will - RooMeat.  The Bombers showed ticker last week and will get over the line this week.
