It pretty much won the Western Bulldogs a flag. I'm with Tim Watson. Essendon great Tim Watson hates the pre-finals bye and says the AFL’s decision to introduce it was an “overreaction”. The AFL introduced the bye in 2016 to stop clubs from resting players in the final round of the home and away season before finals. With the 2022 regular season coming to an end last week, clubs competing in September will now get a week off before starting their finals campaigns next week. Last year’s pre-finals bye was scrapped due to the threat of COVID with the week off instead taking place before the Grand Final. “No AFL footy this weekend after what’s been a sensational season,” Watson told SEN Breakfast. “The last round was amazing, drama of the highest order, but we don’t need to catch our collective breath, we want to dive back in. “The bye was an overreaction many years ago.” Watson continued: “I hate the bye. I hate this with a real passion. I hate what we’re doing to the game this weekend. “Our game has always been about the qualification of where you finish on the ladder, that’s what it’s been about. “It is a game of attrition. It’s an endurance battle between teams. It’s about getting that advantage. That’s why you win as many games as you do, and you finish in the order and the position that you do. “Why oh why do we have this <deleted> bye, I’ve got no idea.”

News of a Kidnapping. RAR Enjoying this one. The wife and sister of Colombian congressman Alberto Villamizar are kidnapped by the Extraditables in response to new extradition laws. Alberto and the police try to close in on the kidnappers and rescue Alberto's family.

Bad Sisters This one is based on the Belgian series The Out-Laws AKA Clan, which was fantastic. Summary: Follows the Garvey sisters, who are bound together by the death of their parents and a promise to always protect each other.

Clarko obviously has ties with Brad Hill, but not sure he's what you need. Soft as butter and is a mercenary IMO. Would love to get Zurhaar at West Coast. Ollie Henry would be a great get. Can't see the Pies not signing him up though. The AA captaincy baffles me. Happened in 2018 when Buddy was made captain over Shannon Hurn. How can Hawkins get the gig over Cripps or Gawn? Easiest position to fill should be the Coleman winner at FF, but no. Thought Barrass might've been a bit stiff but I'm biased. Any thoughts on the pre-final bye? I hate it. Sucks all of the momentum out of the season IMO.

Running with the Devil: The Wild World of John McAfee

Well gents What a sensational finish to the tipping comp. It pretty much came down to the 2nd last game, Collingwood versus Carlton. Scea picked Collingwood and Ozzy picked Carlton. Over 22 games, the margin was only 6 points. Cannot remember it ever being that close. So, it gives me great pleasure, to present this year's title to none other than Scea. A worthy winner who was on top for most of the year. A great year also by Ozzydom, who was a bee's dick away from snatching it. Hope we have a good final series. Go Swans. Until next time.

Uncle Alex Simmo is contracted for another 3 years so he's not under pressure as a layout would be huge. Would want to see improvement next year. Hinkley is the only AFL coach who has survived 10 years without a premiership. I agree with you, Geeling look unstoppable. Reckon only Geelong, Melbourne and Sydney can win it.

You think it's "hard to believe"? Don't you watch the news here? This type of thing is happens quite regularly.

Homicide Hunter: Never Give Up RAR This was a belter. Summary: Three cases that kept Lt. Joe Kenda up at night will finally be put to rest as he returns to the screen for three theatrical-length Homicide Hunter specials, revealing chilling new details of career-defining cases. With his gruff voice and no-nonsense demeanor, Kenda leads viewers through labyrinthine cases that have plagued him for decades.

You've still got to be really happy FJ. Although I do think the media have gone way over the top with it all. Essendon. What a shambles. Not surprised Clarko didn't go there they way they've treated Rutten. As soon as Essendon made it clear they were going after Clarko, Rutten had to be sacked. They've treated him terribly IMO. Where has the Coaches Association been? Not a word.

You didn't miss much mate.

Well men That's it for the penultimate round. A great last pick by Rip means he picked the card. He gets this weeks Fruit and Nut. He also moves to second on points, one tip away. Could be a great finish with some huge games next week. Until next time.

Was a great win Rip. I reckon you also got murdered by the umps. That deliberate against McCartin was a shocker.

Double post.

I've had 2 Pfizer shots followed by a Moderna booster in May. So you think a yearly booster after that is more beneficial rather than 6 months?

Received an email this morning with the heading "You have an outstanding refund from myGov" Obviously a scam but could catch some out. This is just a heads up. https://www.mailguard.com.au/blog/australians-targeted-in-a-new-mygov-refund-scam

I really enjoyed Hit and Run. Not as much as Fauda though. Thanks for the heads up about Manayek. I'll keep an eye out.

Well Trend Setters That's it for another round of footy. Unfortunately, the Bearded God JK couldn't drag WC over the line. One picked six and three picked 5. RIP moves up to 3rd. Until next time.
