Yes here I am up on the sunny Gold Coast having just completed the marathon and it reminded me of the 2009 vintage crows... Started off a million dollars pumping out the sub 4:10's alongside steve monnas ... All on track for a top 4 spot and glory... The crowbots in full swing, an injury to one of our blonde brigade and no probs, nuther one in, nuther victory. Ok in my case it was sub 3hrs in my sights. And then after 23km those 3hr balloons started to get ahead... 10 metres, 20 metres, next 5 kms and dropped down to 4:20s... Those balloons are 100m ahead... Sub 3 still do-able though cos they were going too fast anyway... (thanks monnas!) but I have lost a valuable backman. 4:30s... riccuitto is injured... Hmmm that last 8k is looking a bitch but with a bit of luck... Dzzzt it's Collingwood in the preliminary final and a dodgy free with seconds to go... Lukeee is running a 5:30km (number 39km to be precise) and the season is over... SIGHS didn't even make the granny after all that!
Anyway the Crows did beat Sydney this week in a wet wet wet game. But the bug shocka was the Bombers. The curse of the bye for the Catters - the game against the Crows last week made their training runs look competitive - and the bombouts squeezed home.
Elsewhere the sinners kept their season alive beating the Roos - can't believe I picked the Roos - the doggies got in easily over the Dees, the blues smashed the tiggers, and the dockers made it hard work over the Suns. Speaking of which, I saw Guy McKenna doing it pretty tough in the marathon as he came in around 5hrs. Did he leave at three quarter time to make it back for the 7:10am start?? Is that why after 3q they went down the tube?
Oh and the Pies smashed the hawks. So now the papers say the hawks gamestyle isn't good enough. Not the fact they have 10 injuries including Rioli and Roughy - its the gamestyle. Aha.
The tippers...
In a reminder to the grey brigade that carbon has to be controlled, carbonara tax got the full Monty this week - great effort picking the upset. Getting 7 was horseboys pre-season picker. So yes, I did better picking them 16 weeks ago than I did picking them the day before.
Leasing the way overall are the Juddsta and Driza.
In the side comp bjak and 101 are still there. Given my tardiness with the write up they have free reign this week with their picks.
My thoughts in the winners... Soon.

Is Shane Warne the only sportsman to actually trim down and get fitter once their career finished?

Round 15: Tour of Duty
Dear Neil,
When the team you coach loses to pretty much every team including 'powerhouses' such as Port and the Dees, it is probably time to consider that the team IS bottoming out. PLEASE tell me they are bottoming out.
Regards,
Horseboy
The Nipster was up in ye ole Sydney Towne on a Tour of Duty this weekend and it was good to see his beverage consumption prowess has not altered. I do find it embarrasing ordering midi's for him and normal beers for myself though cos the bargirls assume I am there with a girlfriend and ask if I would like some lemonade in with the midi.
He was of course up here to see his dirty smelly Pies take on the Swans. Supporting the Pies is a cheap thing to do - you can watch every game they play live and in the flesh, and only leave the confines of the MCG twice a year. On this occasion though they were playing at ANZ in front of a massive 38k people. 38k at the SCG would have been nice, and the Swans probably would have won cos T Cloke's shots at goal would have all been from within the 50 and he would have kicked even more points. Dids continues to play like a pork chop, DT comes back to the pack, and it's safe to say that if K Jack hadn't have gone off early the Swans would have had enough mongrel to get over the line. The sooner the Swans move back to full time at the SCG the better - it would have been huge there, and they don't need to pin the ground down to fix it up. In the end the Pies did get up but not before The Nips went through a few nervous stages. Damnit it would have been nice to send him back winless.
Anyway after the game midi-Nips and the Horseboy went to the luxurious Pyrmont Bridge Hotel - 24x7 of drinking pleasure - and we ran into a Bombers supporter who told us 36 times that he went to school with Penders, how he is a cocky knob, and how Bomber Thompson has DESTROYED the Bombers. Fair to say that the aforementioned dude looked like a mini-Pavlich, and if HE thought Penders was cocky... pot. kettle. But Bomber Thompson has destroyed the Bombers? Has he watched them for the last 5 years? Matthew Knights anyone? Bomber Thompson has destroyed the Bombers? He's coaching them while J Hird runs group rub n tug sessions with the coterie but Bomber Thompson has destroyed the Bombers?Maybe he's right cos they Bombers were rubbish Friday night and I am not alone in blaming Bomber Thompson for destroying the Bombers. The Hawks were without a tall but had too much for the Bombouts. A lot too much. Bye Bye Eight.
Chris Judd's Married Hair has asked me to discuss the mighty Blues. In an email this morning he stated - and I quote - 'how average a team we are' and it was good to see him finally acknowledge this. How average a team are the Blues? Pretty. They came back hard in the third quarter but that was all they had. The Beagles though - unbelievable - if they were in the Tour De France you would just assume drugs. And you would be right. It just goes to show how far committment to the tackle and pressure contribute to wins. And drugs. Don't underestimate the power.
Speaking of Power, the Crows n Power are locked in a race to the bottom and there are no winners. Literally. In the next showdown it will be nil-all with 44 injuries. The only good part about being a Crows supporter is that I don't follow a team that has to hold cupcake sales to keep operational, but I'm sure the only good thing about being a Paps supporter this year is that you know the Crows are possibly playing worse. 68 people watched the Paps get smashed by the Roos on sunday and 42 of those people were tarpaulin attendants, 16 were boyfriends of Port players, and 10 were people who thought they were watching Port Magpies v North Adelaide. They were disappointed at the standard of play.
The Tips
Eight sevens this week with the Blues MEDIOCRE and highly expected performance keeping some from the full bag. Driza, CJ's Married and OGreat are at the top of the table and appear to be making a move away from the pack.
In the side comp the Blues performed a clear out and we are down to three with BJAK, 101 and Mr Cricket Jr still in the hunt for the $$$ - well done on not relying on the temptress that was Carlton.
Round 15
Kicking off with the Doggies n Dees. Two in a row to both teams and the Dees need to make it 3 to stay in the 8. If you ever wonder at my comments on mediocrity making the 8 this year, just consider that the Dees are in the 8, and when you look outside the 8 there really is no team that is necessarily better. Who will win? Toss a coin then watch A Touch of Frost instead cos this will be boring as bat$hit.
The Tigers and Blues may be a lil more interesting. I think the Tigers are going to get HAMMERED though cos if the Blues don't come out firing then I will go HEE! Actually I would go HA!
The Dockers will smash the Suns and Cats the same to the Bombers, while I would like to think that the Crows have a sneaky chance against the Swans. But the last three games will all be tight n tough to pick. Or am I underestimating the Lions? Lions n Paps up in Brissy... well I GUESS the Lions should win. I assume that Once Great and WildJohny will both be there? I expect a report. The Pies n Hawks should be a big game with Buddy back in the fold. The Pies looked vunlerable on Saturday night so this will be a big test for both teams. And finally the Roos n Saints. No we don't care who wins, but the Roos could make it 5 in a row - who woulda thought?

Round 14. You Can't Touch This.
This is what computer dorks do when they have too much time on their hands perhaps?
Well I laughed.
More than the footy is making me laugh.
Yes, I do have L Franklin and J Bartel in my Dream Team. Thanks for asking.
Round 13 was officially the Day the Music Died. Or the Day Horseboy conceded that tipping the Crows for the rest of the season is a lost cause. Round 14 Horseboy tips the Cats.
And the Cats are going along rather nicely I think you'll all agree. Some are saying they had lucky wins. Those some are supporters of the teams that were beaten by them. My guess is that if the situation was reversed they wouldn't be conceding their team was 'lucky', so HTFU. The Saints are shells of their former selves. Video may have killed the radio star, by a few nude shots of N Riewoldts flaccid fella have killed the Sinners. Thirteen people tipped the Saints for the Granny. Good luck with that.
Speaking of good luck with Granny Picks, the Doggies won't get to play the Crows every week and 14 of you picked them. Other doomed to failures appear to be Adelaide (2), Melbourne (2) and the Beagles for bottom (5). Some of you picked combo's of these. Ahhh well... what can ya do?
The Beagles are unbelievable. Yes, I thought they would fail by now. They have the Blues this week in Melbourne - win that and they are 'legitimate' in that they can beat an average team in Melbourne, not just in Sponsor Stadium. Lose it and they still are really, although bandwagons roll on the back of week by weeks. M Sheahan = Clown. I still maintain the Blues are overrated. Unfortunately each week also shows that 13 teams are rubbish. For those doubting, please check exactly who the Blues have beaten and show me the WINS.
Good to see the Bombers crash back - 4 losses in a row and 5 coming up. Six weeks without a win if you count the bye. Oh the shame. And Daaaave has resolved to back em each week for the rest of the year. Goodnight nurse. That said, no Franklin, no Roughead, no Ruckman, no Hawks?
For the Dockers it's no David Mundy, no Peter Faulks, no Joel Houghton, no Hayden Ballantyne, no Aaron Sandilands, no Gavin Roberts, noTim Ruffles, no Adam McPhee, no Nick Suban, no Viv Michie, no Anthony Morabito, no Dockers. Unless they play Essendon. So the Hawks are a good chance.
Tippers
3 tippers picked 8 from 8 this week - Drizabone, RedHotChilli and DirtBrownCowboy. And that puts Driza into rarified territory. At the Top! And he is in england. He must have some major graph work going on that bedroom wall of his. It's starting to thin out a bit now - time to make yer move before it is too late.
Round 14
Last week was a snorefest. There were no good games really and the one I thought may be good was a smashing (blues n bloods). But this week we start with the Burial of the Bombers. RIP 2011 The Puppet.
On Saturday I'm giving the Suns a chance against the Bulldogs at home. Paying $5, this would be an excellent value TEAM bet, while the Tigers and Dees battle it out for 8th n 9th at the end of the season. Tigers cos it's an even week.
It's a Pies homegame against the Swans. Have they ever lost at Bank Stadium? The Nipster is making a trip assuming a victory is in his miserly grasp, and I'm thinking it will be. The Swans are lacking forwards - when LRT is on the ground it is bad enough but if he goes forward then you know you have issues.
Speaking of value bets, the Crows are paying $11 against the Cats...
Hey I just saw that the Eagles are paying $4.50 against the Blues. Seriously. My lordy. That said, I guess I'll be picking the Blues at home. And finally the Power n the Roos. Who knows. Who cares.

Round 12 - NOW we are halfway there...
As Johnny Rotten so eloquently put it... God Save The Queen!
Any excuse for a holiday. Cept the Sandgropers who clearly HATE her and refuse to celebrate. Yep, over there they are waiting on Pippa's Birthday for a day off. Those guys are WAY ahead of the pack eh? Although I am not 100% sure of what the fuss is - sure she'd be a standout if she worked in... say... IT... but yer not exactly aiming high with that one.
So while the West are all at work, we are subjected to the thrill that is Melbourne v Collingwood. You know I actually thought that given the Pies were without almost their complete midfield, the Dees may be a show. Oh my.
But back to the West, and I am sure they are starting to get a lil cocky. Their teams are winning. One with half the team out with injuries, the other with... well... I dunno... People picked them for bottom. At least with the Dockers we sorta knew they were a reasonable team. But the Eagles... what has happened there? We know it wouldn't be the first time they have the taint of drugs. Testem all I say. Is Ricky Nixon the team manager? If so then nuff said. Of course I am lying...
Anyway, it's not like the Coke Sniffing Beagles beat anyone really. The Crows managed to get their customary 3 goals up early, wasting opportunities but still playing well... and then... well... the standard. Dzzzt. Fail. They would need to be 8 goals up with 6 minutes to play before I could start getting excited at the mo. And that would have to be against the Suns. Actually to be fair we have been playing good halves of football until Saturday - but against the Eagles we could only manage a quarter. Exit stage left. Time to start tipping the other teams...
Huge game between the Cats n Hawks again, and yet again the Cats got over the line and remain undefeated at the top of the table. Shame that Buddy feels the need to fall over at every opportunity eh? SUCKA!!! Too much time watching tapes of Lloydy perhaps? And the beige blouses are starting to whinge over Selwood and Renouf. Tears all round.
Meanwhile over here in ye ole Sydney Towne it has been bucketing down. As if I needed an excuse not to go for a run...? I know I know... HTFU MOFO!!! But seriously, as the three of you who accidentally watched the Swans/Tigers game yesterday can attest to, it is wet. The Tigers were kept in the game by absolutely crap kicking from the Swans and nearly ran away with it. Bad kicking is bad footy apparently. Goodesy continues his irregular formline. The commentators last week suggested he was in Brownlow form. If so then it will be all 3 pointers or nothing cos there's been nothing in between. Four points and no goals. COME ON!
The Blues beat the Lions - no surprises there - and no great surprises in the Dockers win over the Bombers. Even without Sandilands and about 2/3 of the squad the Purple Haze were too much for the the Hirds. The BombOuts are GONE for season 2011, and James Hird's coaching career is gonna go the way of T Watson. Starts well and then dies in the Ass - a bit like that gerbil R Nixon was last seen whispering sweet nothings too.
As Goddard's career at the Saints is questioned, he finally had a decent game and the Sinners beat the Doggies. This time last year they were both top 4, but now... nada. And I threw away my $15 and dead certainty on the Suns. F**K!!!!!!! I should have checked the teams first - Josh 'not even tradebait' Fraser was selected and from that moment on it was trouble. He will be GONE next year... maybe GWS will take him? You know yer a crap footballer when C.Hunt adds more to the team than you do.
Tippers
WELL! A number of full marks - 13 people got 8 from 8 and thus also get a bonus point - but leaping into the lead alongside Nelson we have Chris Judd's Married Hare. Halfway there and living on the prayer that is C Judd. Good to see they didn't fall to the promise that I thought may be the Suns. And speaking of which, the side comp got a few in 2 ways. Firstly of course some DID pick the Suns - me included. And others didn't pick from that game at all. Fools. It's on the managers comments - and was from Sunday night - and on this 'ere blog. Ah well the show goes on.
Round 13
I know we are supposed to build up the footy but Round 13 is just full of sht games. OK OK... I know I am just taking out my angst at the round but seriously - show me a decent game? Bulldogs n Crows. Pfft who cares. *sobs* not me (unless we win). Hawks n Suns. Well not a lot of competition there. Bombers n Roos. Oh LORD. The Roos won't be winning this one. Brissy will get a win over Richmond to continue their run of outs, and Geelong will be way too good for the Sinners who are only looking good cos they are playing poop teams.
Freo will beat the Dees cos... they will... the Blues will lose to the Swans and the Eagles will do the double on South Australia by smashing the Paps.

Round 11: Halfway Thru. If 2010.
I can't bear to watch the Crows play anymore. Does any team have more chances and then butcher it as much? It's KILLING me!!!
*sighs* Yep Season 2011 is becoming the year that my footy satisfaction revolves around other teams failures rather than the Crows own success. Sad but true.
So I will take pleasure in the Paaaaaa losing to Sturt because it reminds me of the glory days. That WAS Sturt wasn't it?
OK well if it wasn't then I will take pleasure in the Paaaaaah pushing the 'navy blues' further than they should because it proves my point about there not being much depth in the teams this year...
And ditto I will take pleasure in the Don's losing to the Dees (even though we had money on the Dons)...
Oh and ditto I quite enjoyed the Suns putting in a good performance against the Eagles...
Oh and ditto the Dockers pushing the Hawks. The Dockers have 3 fit players and STILL pushed the Hawks in Melbourne. But the Melbourne papers will push on how the Hawks over ran them and the bandwagon will build...
Oh and ditto... errrr.. no lets forget about the Crows game.
The Tippers
Basically a lotta people are pissed off at the Dees this week cos they cost them 2 points! Sucked in! I had to tip the Crows so you got what you deserved.
Still leading the way by one is Nelson Rocks - as he picks the favorites the question for those trailing is, how are you gonna catch up on him by doing the same?
In the side comp some of you picked the Bombers!!! HAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAA SUCKED IN AGAIN! Well this week lets trick it up a bit - you have to pick from the Suns v Roos game... a true 50/50.
Round 12
There are some supposedly easy games this week so we know what that means. First up the Saints play the Doggies. The Dogs have been pussy whipped, while the Sinners appear to be showing glimmers of something. It's really a battle of two teams with no real form though (except BAD form). Sinners for mine.
Crows n Eagles. It's killing me. Did I mention that? What is going on? Of course I will tip the Crows but you will all tip the Eagles. And then we what should be a reasonable game - the Cats n the Hawks. Will Buddy Be Back? They will need him if they are going to be any chance. Cats by enough.
In the toughest pick of the round the Suns host the North Hobart Roos. Well the Suns have shown some form - they pushed the Cats n Eagles - while the Roos have won but... yes... even I have to admit the opposition was a little marshmellow like. I'm tipping the Suns. Go you good thing!
And finally the Blues, Swans, Dockers n Pies will all have easy wins over their counterparts.
Did you know there was a Queens Birthday Holiday Game?
There is.
*sighs* Yep Season 2011 is becoming the year that my footy satisfaction revolves around other teams failures rather than the Crows own success. Sad but true.

Round 10: Ugh.
I bet none of you at other places of work have recently had your own BAM! and toilet brushes put in your toilet cubicles. Yep, apparently I now need to clean the toilets here. Not sure if I do this before, during, or after my use - probably all three. I know I have to put up with a lot of $hit but now I need to clean up others as well. *sighs*
Speaking of excrement, the Crows. I can't believe we go to the effort of losing a game and the Paps are STILL not bottom. I know I know they aren't technically on the bottom but the Paps have played 2 more games than the Suns, so realistically they are bottom in spirit. Meanwhile the AFL are having to prop their arses up while half the board resigns. How long before PA stands for Port Arthur?
Must say it is a while since there was such a big gap between the top two and mediocrity. And the mediocrity this year stretches from 3 to 17. The Hawks are in third? When are they going to play a decent team? You think I'm joking? Ditto Blues, Eagles, Bombers, Sydney... just look at the teams they have played and YOU let me know if any of them have beaten another worthwhile team that was playing good footy. Did you watch the Swans n Roos? The Swans are in 6th and watching them was painful. In Guantanemo they are currently offering the option of waterboarding sesssions or watching the Swans play the Roos, and most are picking the waterboarding. Terrible.
Tippers
It's getting tighter and tighter. After a week that was supposed to be easy to pick, only 5 managed to get six picks right. Whattha?
Leading the way is still the mighty Nelson Rocks - one clear of Judd n Driza. But yep, it is all tight, and those Grand Final picks could prove vital if the Sinners n Doggies miss out eh?
In the side comp some of you were knocked out... it continues on and jackpots to $30 - all games in the mix.
Round 11
It starts pretty poorly with the Bombers back after a well timed break to play against the Dees. The Dees are in Deesaray... if the players aren't injured then they're homesick or they're faking it. Anything to get out of a contest. Bombers to get back to winning. Then we have the Cats n Dogs. The Dogs are absolutely zero chance. Brian "I am fat n lazy" Lake is almost making Dawson and LRT look skilled. The Cats will roll on.
The Suns are paying $12 against the Eagles. Seriously! Wow, how big is the Eagles bandwagon? The Suns just finished pushing the Cats to the edge and yet they are rated no chance against the Eagles. Maybe thats cos Hunt is having the week off? That said, yer not gonna tip the Suns.
In the biggest 50/50 of the round we have the Lions n Swans. And not cos they are good. The Swans are playing absolute kack. The Lions are now considered a Powerhouse (as is a growing list of teams according to N Craig). I'm tipping the Swans cos they need to win and surely they can't play as badly as last week...?
The Pies will not be having a draw against the Saints (yes, Goddard is in my dream team), and the Dockers without Sandilands are in a world of pain so expect the Hawks to easily account for them.
The Crows are paying $2.65 against the Roos - that my friends is easy money - and the paaaaah host the Blues. Another easy win against dodgy opposition - not sure for which team though...
Speaking of excrement, the Crows. I can't believe we go to the effort of losing a game and the Paps are STILL not bottom. I know I know they aren't technically on the bottom but the Paps have played 2 more games than the Suns, so realistically they are bottom in spirit.

Ditto Blues, Eagles, Bombers, Sydney... just look at the teams they have played and YOU let me know if any of them have beaten another worthwhile team that was playing good footy. Did you watch the Swans n Roos? The Swans are in 6th and watching them was painful. In Guantanemo they are currently offering the option of waterboarding sesssions or watching the Swans play the Roos, and most are picking the waterboarding. Terrible.
Tippers
It's getting tighter and tighter. After a week that was supposed to be easy to pick, only 5 managed to get six picks right. Whattha?
Leading the way is still the mighty Nelson Rocks - one clear of Judd n Driza. But yep, it is all tight, and those Grand Final picks could prove vital if the Sinners n Doggies miss out eh?
In the side comp some of you were knocked out... it continues on and jackpots to $30 - all games in the mix.
Round 11
It starts pretty poorly with the Bombers back after a well timed break to play against the Dees. The Dees are in Deesaray... if the players aren't injured then they're homesick or they're faking it. Anything to get out of a contest. Bombers to get back to winning. Then we have the Cats n Dogs. The Dogs are absolutely zero chance. Brian "I am fat n lazy" Lake is almost making Dawson and LRT look skilled. The Cats will roll on.
The Suns are paying $12 against the Eagles. Seriously! Wow, how big is the Eagles bandwagon? The Suns just finished pushing the Cats to the edge and yet they are rated no chance against the Eagles. Maybe thats cos Hunt is having the week off? That said, yer not gonna tip the Suns.
In the biggest 50/50 of the round we have the Lions n Swans. And not cos they are good. The Swans are playing absolute kack. The Lions are now considered a Powerhouse (as is a growing list of teams according to N Craig). I'm tipping the Swans cos they need to win and surely they can't play as badly as last week...?
The Pies will not be having a draw against the Saints (yes, Goddard is in my dream team), and the Dockers without Sandilands are in a world of pain so expect the Hawks to easily account for them.
The Crows are paying $2.65 against the Roos - that my friends is easy money - and the paaaaah host the Blues. Another easy win against dodgy opposition - not sure for which team though...

Round 10
Greetings Tippers, a timely post as we preview Round 10.
Dees v Blues = battle of the walking wounded. More outs for the Demons this week. Probably takes the heat of Dean Bailey as they struggle to get their season off the ground. Blues over achieving by plenty at the minute. Expect them to do it comfortably at the G.
North v Swannies. Am smelling an upset at Etihad. The loss of the Mummy, Andrejs and Jack will give the Roos a sniff. Worth the centre bet odds methinks.
Freo v The Sinners. The Purple Haze will get the chocoloates. No Sandilands no dramas as the Saints dont play with a ruckman these days anyway.
Suns v Cats. Cats not taking this too seriously. Just resting half the backline. The footy unlikely to spend any real time in the defensive 50 anyway. At least 15 goals to the Catters.
Tigers v Port. Port will win the spoon (or at least at Round 11 they will). Nuff said.
Crows v Lions. After last week, the Crows are capable of playing 3 quarters of very impressive footy. The Lions have maybe 2 quarters in em. That means the Crows will win?!
Pies v Eagles. Upset this week? Pies should have the coverage of an Eagles team that aint the same away from Pattersons Curse (Stadium). Krak Magic on the cards. Hopefully this week its goal of the year?
Enjoy the footy.

Round 9: Bunch of Plankers
WHO GIVES A $HIT ABOUT PLANKING? SERIOUSLY! I can't believe it is even spoken about. People have been laying down in front of trains for thousands of years (OK... not thousands...) but you take a photo, call it planking and it's front fruggin page news. Gimme a break.
Rumours that the Crows planked in the final quarter are slightly unfounded by the way. They tanked. That's the trouble with having the TAB on yer phone now. Do you know what the odds were on Tarrant kicking 2 goals? 22 players + Craigie knew exactly what they were and away we go...
Anyway you all know the results now, and The Nipster has had his chance to gloat for long enough. He spent 6 hours emailing me photo's of Pies players in the last 20 mins of the game but now claims he is time poor. Typical.
Still, the weekend was good for two things. The Bombers lost to the Tigers. Probably cos Dave was so chockas full of confidence. That is the best part of the Bombers winning - seeing him get oh so cocky. And then they lose. SUCKED IN. The second part was of course seeing the Paps go down like a sack of smelly stuff. BOTTOM of the table I believe. They've played two games more than the Suns and are still well behind em. They are starting to embarrass me. I wonder if they would secede from the rest of Adelaide?
The Tippers
Well first up as mentioned, the side comp has been won by first time tipper TheChez. $135 going to the fund. Done. Great work and it starts again so get yer side comp pick in.
For the weeks tips, 3 people picked 7 from 8 - great effort from Casey, fava and zingaroo given the 50/50s on display. Leading the way by a point though is Nelson Rocks - excellent.... but plenty of time left and it has tightened across the board.
Round 10
I hesitate to say this but I reckon this is a fairly cut n dried round. So lets just say... Blues, Dockers, Cats, Tigers, Crows, Pies, Hawks. The one true 50/50 is the Roos n Swans but if the Swans lost I'd be surprised... and I'm never surprised...

Round 9: Quiet
Yes I've been quiet. But that's cos The Nipster has promised to bring his A-Game to the table, and following on from his team, he's clearly waiting until the last quarter before he does anything...
Monday, 23 May 2011
KNOCKOUT WINNER!!!! and the restart.
YES you heard it here first. We have a winner. And it serves you all right for picking the BOMBERS as your certainty. One day you will learn.
But anyway, the winner is first time player, long time listener TheChez scooting away with $135 - nice work. TheChez... if yer out there somewhere... send me your details. You know the ones - to the account OnceGreat doesn't know about?
So it all starts again - choose from any game this week... go on... go for GOLD!

Round 8: The Dust Settles
So who of you thought that after 8 rounds, the Sinners would be sitting below the Suns on the table! Unbelievable. What has happened to the Saints? We all expected the Paps would be at the bottom, and the Lions... well only they could lose to the Bombers like that... but the Sinners... WTF??? Is Lenny Hayes THAT good??? Are they missing him THAT much? Anything is possible but for those of you that picked the Sinners for the Granny... time to work out where you are going to get an extra 2 points back on the field cos they are GONE! If yer wondering where the precedent for this is... well I remember back-to-backs for the Crows being followed by an almight thud. The Sinners could have won a couple... now they are goneskie.
I was never worried on Saturday watching the Crows fall four goal behind in the first quarter. I always had faith. We may be bad, but we ain't Port. That said, the Crows are still only an average team *sighs* Ablett had 348 touches in the first 10 minutes - what was going on there? Shocking. At least there's Port. They are sitting second last, but have played one more game than Brissy and have lower percentage... an absolute bunch of hacks.
And injuries... oh dear. Hawthorn. Essendon. Beginning of the End. Although to be fair for the Hawks it is a continuation on of the end. But Jobe Smith (the milkmans surname was Smith) is out for a while and the chinks will start to show...
The Tippers
A few 7's this week but the major failings for folk were the Dockers and the Pies. Mind you, 23% of you thought the Cats were gonna get up this week. The Gays seemed to think that the Crows would lose to the Suns - ON YOUR BIKE MADZZZZZZY and MR CRICKET JR! With that kind of picking you are DOOMED TO FAILURE!
In the side comp we lost another and are down to 6 in the race for $135 - this week you have to tip from the Saturday Games Only.
Round 9
Some more hard picks this week with the Blues take on the high flying Cats this week. Big test for the Blues - they rate themselves. I don't. Cats to floggem.
On Saturday the Sinners take on the Dees. Both are Losers. The Dees will still be Losers on Sunday though. The Paaaaah and Dockers... hmmm. Homeground advantage to the Paaaaaaah and they must be taking an awful hiding back in Uggelaide. Will they respond like the Dees did a cuppla weeks ago...? I'm half suspecting they may sneak home in this one, but it will take the Dockers to fall asleep to do it. Can't pick tha Paaaaaaaaa.
The Lions host the Roos Saturday night and they are showing signs. I know they are winless but are they the best side not to win any of their first 7 games for a year? The Roos are shizer. Lions to get one on the board and push the Paps to the bottom of the table. Then we have the Tigers n Bombers. I'd love the Tigers to get up in this one. It's definitely winnable... do you tippem though? Dave?
The Match of the Round is Sunday. Yep, some say this is a preview of the 2011/2012 Grand Finals, but I don't think the Pies will be up to it in 2012. The Pies host the Crows. You can expect great stuff from the Crows - tip against them at your peril. Yer only as good as yer last game, and the Crows won, the Pies lost. Nuff said. Then the Swans host the Hawkers. The Hawks have been smashed by more injuries and the Swans have too much going well for them. Easy win. Finally the Eagles n Doggies... The Doggies have a good record in the West - they'll continue it as they lurch back into 2011 contention.

Round 8 - Bring on 2012
Yep, I'm already over 2011. The only thing that keeps me going is the pitifulness of the Paaaaaah. Of course that could change this weekend...
In the tips for round 7 we had 5 people getting a 7 from 8. Not a bad effort when you consider the Crows got beaten by the Deeeees, the Suns beat the Lions and the Tigers beat the Dockers. So we've got three people out in front now - Chris Pudd's hair transplants, nelson rocks, and Syneeeeeeee. And it seems to be getting tighter by the week. All good.
But it's all about Round 8 now, and the big game is the Cats v Pies. Both teams at full strength bar Jolly. Jolly is in my dream team so that shouldn't be a massive surprise to you all. This is the first proper test for the Pies this year, and some would say the first real test for the Cats - although their win over the Dockers was a pretty good one. I'll tip the Pies but dem Cats haven't dropped like a few of you thought - hopefully it will just be an absolute ripper of a game.
The Kangas take on the Dees on Saturday... hmmm have the Dees had their big win of the year? Teams that respond like the Dees did sometimes also go through a massive loss the next week. Plus they have injuries, and they lost that absolute THUG through suspension. Shoulda been 6 weeks. The Roos to get off the mat and win this one. And OBVIOUSLY you can mark the Crows down for a win over the Suns. AS IF we'd get beaten by another $hit team. We seem to only get beaten by $hit teams though - I just wish there were better teams in the comp.
Lions n Bombers, Swans n Power... Well the Swans should smash the Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaathetic Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, but I have a feeling the Lions may take it up to the Bombaaaaas who are just about to turn the corner and find themselves in poo-ville.
The Hawks take on the Saints... big game for both teams really. People are saying the Sinners may have turned the corner, and the Hawks... well they haven't beaten much this year have they. Toughest game of the round in my humble. But then there is the Doggies n Tigers. Surely the Doggies will be able to get over the Tigers? If not then the Doggies are GONE 2011. Finally the derby. The Eagles are playing above themselves. Or are they? Have they beaten a decent team REALLY? I haven't seen them actually beat a good team yet... the Dockers for mine.

Decisions Decisions...
What a weekend that was! Friday night was possibly the hardest decision making night of my life. Lets see, we had The Footy - Sydney v Carlton in the absolute pouring rain. Cats, Dogs, Roos, Swans... yep animals were going down 4x4 just in case 2x2 was not enough, it was THAT HEAVY. Then of course we had The Wedding. HOW EXCITING!!! OOOOH What will she look like? What will they say? Oh my. Hold me back. FROM MY SHOTGUN BIATCHES!
And then there was The Bieber. A true artist at work. This lad has it all. Hair. Autotune. Silver spangly tracksuits. What can I possibly say that hasn't already been said about him?
No, rather than listen to me, lets go to the reviews by his 12yo female and effeminate male fanbase: OMG!!! HSDUSFHSDJGFU!!! ♥ SHUT UUUUUP! ♥ AMAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZIIIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGG ♥
Bad Arsed Dude.
Anyway between screaming at the Bieb and watching The Wedding, I did manage to glance at the footy app on my BiebPhone4.EVER, and noticed that Sydney lost to the CHEATING scum that is carlton. Yep, at a crucial time the steward made an complete F-Up of a decision (acknowledged now), handing the BlueBaggers 6 points and the momentum swing in a low scoring tight-arsed game. The only thing missing from the admission is that Juddy put them up to it. I looked away at the point though cos Biebaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa was singing BaybeeeeeBaybeeeeeeeeBayBeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee and i almost long control of my pelvic flaw oh my he is soooooooo hawt!
Lucky mum woz waiting outside to pick me up because i woz like, so hot. It was THE BEST DAYZ OF MY LIFE!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!
So how bad are the Dees? Very. But you knew that. But I'll tell you what... not as BADARSE AS BIEBER! HA! And dare I say, not as bad as Port. Now I know the Paps supporters will still come back and say yeah hey we still beat the Crows and blah blah blah, but seriously, does beating the Crows come second in your Bieberlike mind to say... winning more than 2 games for the year? If thats the highlight of the year for Port players and supporters, then you can have it every year, cos yer crap. Watching that game was more embarrasing than watching the Suns - at least we all know the Suns will be good in a cuppla years time - Port will still be hobbling along cheering the fact they beat the Crows and finished 17th just ahead of GWS.
Speaking of the Crows... Ando - three quarters is apparently enough to take care of 2nd and 3rd tier teams such as the Hawks n Saints (we only played 20 mins against Port and still only just lost). The Mighty Mighty's were never in doubt, but the Sinners... well it's ugly innit? Hero to Zero. Actually reminds me of Crows circa 1999... whoops. Glad I didn't pick em for the Granny!
The Pies kept on keeping on - beating the Doggies fairly comfy in the end. And the Tigers were never gonna lose to the Lions. Seriously.
Baaaaybeeee Bayyyyybeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee BAAAAAAYYYYYBEEEEEEEEEE!
Tipsters
New leader - thats what happens when the Bieb hitz downetowne! Yep, 2 of the Bieb's greatest fans picked a full house on the weekend - FootyBiebs and JustinBiebMarriedMyHairOMG! - the Hair is now leading the comp cos Syneeeeeeee died in the buttocks picking just 4 from 7. Whoops. He should have stuck with the ole adage "When The Bieb is In da House, Home Game's will be Grouse".
Round 7
OMG! It's Round 7! That's amazing. And it kicks off with the Best Team in the The Port Flower Power playing Da Hawks. I would kinda love Port to win this - just so I can laugh at Ando - but realistically it ain't gonna happen. Not if the Hawks have any kinda hope of going Top 4 in 2011.
On Saturday there are some games tighter than the front row of a Bieber concert (sorry...). First the Dogs host the Swans. Both teams off a loss, both teams probably consider themselves top 6 contenders - maybe top 4... I think the Dogs in Melbourne - just cos of the home ground advantage.
Actually I just noticed the Cats n Kangas - this is more like... as tight as a front row of an Andre Rieu concert... (oh thats just wrong). The Cats will win easily. Then there is the Tigers n Dockers in Melbourne. This is a game the Dockers need to (and should) win. But dare I say the Tigers are playing ok? Not as Ok as the Dockers though - they'll win it comfortably.
Saturday night has the Suns n Lions duking it out. Until the Suns smashed the Paps, we all assumed this was the Suns first chance at winning what will forever be known as the Banana Split. The Suns MUST be hurting after the weekend, and the Lions aren't playing that bad. Hard to tip the Suns - I think they will need to wait until the next Paps game before they get their second win.
On Sunday the Bombers will easily beat the Eagles - who have been blessed with the easiest draw in the Comp - and the Dees will fall into a further mire as the inexperienced but far too Mighty Crows take home the points. Finally the Saints and Blues. Last Chance Saloon really for the Sinners... this may be your upset pick...
