Everyone is moaning and whinging about the umpires this week. Actually they moan and whinge about the umpires every week. I personally blame the carbon tax. And Julia Gillard. And boats. Hey Julia - give us consistency! All we want is consistency! When will the West Australians secede? When will the Scott brothers secede from eachother? Whinge Whinge Whinge. At least we know the Selwoods are ready to secede.
Great game Saturday night with the swans n pies. There is no advantage for the swans at that place and they REALLY need to play their finals at the SCG. Goodesy played the worst game of his career and cost them the game, while LRT just continues to be a champion. How good is he? Magnificent. I have always claimed he is an underrated genius. Him and Dale Lewis - brilliant. What can't they do? Oh yeah Jimmy Beams had a handy game but the Swans kicking was what lost it for them - from memory they kicked 9 points in a row and some weren't that hard.
According to the media those bombers are SHIT and those Roos are BRILLIANT. Hang on... They played each other and the game was close... WTF?? Maybe that is only half right and one thing I know is the Roos are pretty average... They will come out and beat the Pies now.
Speaking of average, the blues n sinners won but who cares cos neither team will make the 8. No riewoldt for the sinners going forward? On the other hand the Crows beat the Haze and will finish TOP - that's right Carlton supporters... TOP! And just like your future coach, you can talk about the draw all you like but you have lost some woeful games while we have won - including losing to Port... So suck it up sisters!
Finally... Well the hawks obviously beat the Paps, but up at the Gold Coast the Suns got their first home ground win and amongst the fireworks they sang their song to the crowd. Very nice. Izzy got half a touch before being subbed off. Was KHunt improving through last year? Cos Izzy Iz Not. Hmm.
Tipping
There were some full houses on sunday night with the Pies supporter reaping the benefit of their swans caper - PiesRule, The Nipster, and the Mini-PiesRule aka MrCricketJr all clean and jerked their way to 9 from 9 and a bonus point - which puts the Nips into 1 spot off the top still held by Ih8Crows.
Round 21
Starts with the Sinners and Geelong. Geelong seem to only be allowed to play friday nights at the moment. They sleep in rooms with no windows to stay adjusted. Given the number of outs for the Cats last week, and assuming some return and there is no Nicky R... the Cats will make the Sinners chances of making the 8 "mathamatical".
The Bombers n Blues play on saturday and the Bombers have to win if they are going to stay in the race to be mincemeat in the first round of the finals. The Blues have to win if they are going to stay "mathamatical" chances of making the 8. Judd is back. Really tough pick - the Bombers keep diddling me one way or another. I think probably the Blues.
The GWS play the Dees and the only interest is to see if the Giants can continue playing what has been mostly good footy. Unfortunately it has been mostly good in each quarter and in the last 10 minutes of each quarter they get 6 goals kicked against them. I picked the Giants last time in this game but can't do it again.
Freo should be too good for the Tiggers and thus push the Bombers out of the 8, while the Crows should kick into gear against the Lions.
I really can't see the Pies losing to the Roos - sorry, I just don't rate them and I won't apologise to either Scott about that. And Sunday's games are such that you will need to find something better to do... Eagles, Sydney and Hawks to add percentage if they need it, rest players if they don't.
