There was only one pout bigger than mine after the Crows effort on Saturday night - Sly Stallone's 90 year old mum. They found a new way to hide wrinkles but unfortunately it involves putting all your loose facial skin into the fold of your lips. And is anyone gonna tell her to have a nip n tuck on those ears? Scary stuff. But seriously she is 90.
Safe to say the footy wasn't a highlight for me this weekend, but at least I have an easy person to blame - Gutterguard selfishly decided that for his birthday he would go up to the Gabba and watch the Crows smash the Lions... Shame Gutterguard Shame...
Equally shameful was The Falcon. Our resident Bluebagger tipped the Bombers this weekend. The blues were FAVORITES, they won by a lazy 16 goals, and he picked the Bombers. Absolute disgrace. He probably put money on them too knowing him. Meanwhile he claims the Crows have an easy drama, totally forgetting that we we playing the Lions who were fresh from victory over the Beagles. Unbelievable.
The Pies made my weekend slightly bearable - a bit like the crows made Pies supporters weekend more bearable... After they got off to a good start the Roos pulled something out of their clackers and never looked like losing. Which meant that the hawks snuck into second after they played a pretty ordinary game against the Suns. Big Jason Dunstall spent the whole time moaning and groaning about how they weren't showing the Suns no respect. So that makes three teams that weren't showing their opposition any respect. Make that 4 if you include the Swans in the first quarter against the Doggies. They came back after a Johnny Longmire spit and smashed em in the second half.
The Sinners are now officially gone after the Cats finished them off in the last quarter. There was a lot of talk about Izzy getting just one kick and having no idea about where to place himself on the field, but koshitsme did the same and has had no idea for years. Into the 8 pop the Dockers. Not sure why anyone thought the Tiggers were a chance. The haze have been playing decent footy in the last month while the Tigs have played ok but let's face it... They have been losing.
Oh and the Paps... What to say? Unsurprisingly they were beaten easily by the Beagles, and unsurprisingly there were more square metres of tarp than there were people at the game. But even I am getting a little bored by the media talk - they were playing a game with no supporters in Adelaide, they have no chance of making the top 12 let alone top 8, it is played out in a hole that has crap transport options... Gee whiz, why did no one show?
Tippers
Crowsfc and trentA both pulled 8 from 9's on the weekend - so while crowsfc obviously missed the crows game - cos unlike The Falcon he picks his team - trenta actually picked both the lions and the Roos... And missed the cats! Overall there wasn't massive movement with most people tipping a similar spread. So nips is still a point behind the leader IH8Crows....
Round 22
Just two to go... And it starts with the last chance (again) for the Bombers. They play the Tiggers and while I would love to see them lose, they will be stinging this week and given the Tigs a spanking.
The next biggie is of course the absolute ripper - the Swans and Hawks. Two genuine top 4 teams at the business end. This is a finals preview but it's at the SCG. Massive. Ando will be hiding behind his pillow but is a lady claiming the minor premiership, while a win to the swans all but seals the top position. Swans.
Over in the west the beagles host the pies. The pies will want to win bad but they won't.
The dockers are travelling east to play the Roos. There wont be any surprise attack but the dockers need to win to stay in the 8 - if there is no pavlich then the Dockers will not be a chance.
Yes the sinners will win despit no riewoldt, and the Blues, Crows n cats will win easy, but will the Paps restore pride in SA with a win over the Lions? (no)
