Round One - Finally Over

Finally the first round is over and the Paps can now stop stop stop cos they're top top top! Unbelievable! The Dees were absolutely rubbish and the Paps played rather well. Although how do we know how well they played given the $hit that was served up by Melbourne?  Safe to say you can't be choosing spooners now folks cos they would be everyone's pick.


Every other spooner pick actually played pretty well. The Doggies smashed the Lions, the Giants played solid footy against the Swans, of course the Abletts beat the Sinners, and the Peptides beat the Crows last week.  Round 1 is the round where we all write the losers off before their time, but the Dees are gone. Dead. History. Rubbish. 

Just putting this out there - I picked the Suns. I am awesome. So why the F did I only get 4 from 9? It would have been three if I didn't change my pick to the Catters 10 minutes before the game started. Glad i did - why did i even give those chokers a look in to start with? Probably having to look at that dodgy poos n wees bag of Ando's over the pre-season.  The cats looked dead n buried 25 mins into the second quarter and then bang. bang.  Selwood absolutely set fire to the Cats and they exploded.  Kennett has now come out and called for the head of Clarko. A very smart man cos he clearly can't coach.  Maybe he can take buddy with him to GWS?

What else happened... Hmmm the Pies left Heath Shaw out of the team cos he was in my super coach team and they didnt want to risk him against the crapperoos.  Wise move.  And the Tiggers defied my wisdom and beat the Bluebaggers. What the...?

Just quietly I am getting a bit tired of fox footy continuously playing those little pearls of wisdom by the old coaches. I guess if I didn't have it on for 72 hours straight it wouldn't have been an issue.

Tippers
Yep it was tough in the tips but 3 people picked 6 from 9 which was a great effort. Miss World, chooka and Luke Maguire get the lead early. In the streak comp 4 people have 3 on the board - a handy early start.

Round 2
A few big games this week and it starts with a game that defines where the Sinners an Tiggers are going in 2013. The Tiggers lose and it is back to the last 10 years of failure for them... The Sinners lose and they will not make the 8.  I will tip the Tig.

At the SCG the Swans will unfurl the Premiership Flag against the Suns. The Swans have a dream start to the year as they play the young teams in consecutive weeks and the will easily beat the Suns.

The Doggies host the Dockers at etihad and here is a chance for them to show us they aren't that bad. The haze need to win to show they are genuine contenders and they will.  An the same goes for the Mighty Mighties against the Lions. Both teams will be smarting but the Crows have too much class and will win comfortably.

The Paps n bombers will easily beat the Giants n Dees, and in the battle of the Scott's, the angry Scott will win.  Then the round finishes with two massive games - the pies n blues, and beagles n hawks.  The Pies should have some players returning while the blues are still learning the grumpy bastards game plans. That said, mick will know the way they play intimately... Hmmm tough pick. Logic says the Pies, I think the Blues will get home. In the West Coast/Hawks game one of the Premiership faves will leave the game 0-2... The eagles have a few injuries but with the home ground advantage I think they will have enough...

Go you Crows!
