I sure hope Josh Kennedy’s little bundle of joy arrives in time for him to grab a flight to Adelaide for Saturday afternoons bounce down.

Best wishers for Lauren and Josh with their first. May the child be born healthy and also,,, quickly please.

I guess he’s got the sterile scissors at the ready.

I'm tipping it's going to be a girl.

How times have changed.all my family(brothers and sisters) were born within a month of the given year as not to interfere with sport for Mum and Dad..

He leads well,kicks goals but on this occasion he's been caught dropping the bub.

[sceadugenga]

In my day if anyone attended the birth of his child aspersions would have been cast on whether he was actually man enough to be the father.

New fatherhood preparations always involved the pub rather than the hospital.

You got Jack Watts in a bottle?

No wonder you are such a demon on the tipping.

Obviously an uncouth beer drinker JoBlow, its Johnnie Walker and its a bottle of JW Green....use to be black but as the Dees inporve ive uped the quality, price tag goes with it...so its rationed.

Just for your knowledge i drink beer too, when i do have a few its Corona and JW chaser...

Josh & Lauren Kennedy’s yet to be born baby is suspected to be a boy as shuffling has been detected in the womb.

[AlexRRR]

It's a long season,not even half way yet.What will hurt or maybe help me is next week i have to put in 6 weeks worth of tipping at once and can't change them.

Think i've got Gazman covered at this stage.

You should not be suprised with Dads army Alex,we didn't make the last 2 prelims for nothing and have had a gentle draw.

A double chance and general bye before finals is made for us.

Will the Dees be sticking around to watch the finals or trekking in Nepal.

No Fj I'm not surprised, the Roo's have been somewhat underachieving, time has caught up with a about a half dozen looking at the wrong side of 30, and today an ex Saint was picked also bordering on vintage age, its possible of course the Hawks did it in the 80s but they had half a dozen season grand final specialist all starts in there own right in that team, something North do not have.

I only question does such an old team have the legs for 22 games plus finals?

The Dees are sitting about right on the ladder, looking at who they got to play for the rest of the season they will come in around 50/50 win, possible they will be battling for a place in the finals but of course not quite good enough yet, i expect them to finnish around 9th or 10th with 11 wins.

The boys can come with me to Cuba for there end of season trip, we can get up to mischief with those multa women who's hips sway so sexily to the sounds of salsa music.

JW Green. Yet to try it. A fan of the Black myself. Have used the Red to get a wet BBQ going.

I'm a Haig Dimples man myself. 15 Years being my preference.

Good luck with your tips this weekend. Should be a fairly straight forward round??

My fantasy team is at full strength and raring to go... Looks like I"m matched against "Chooks" so I win against that competition will be a feel good moment.

[ripstanley]

The betting odds for tonights game are interesting. Hawks on Tuesday were 1.54 and are now 1.89. Swans were 2.50 and are now 1.95. We can only hope they are right and Swans have a win. I think it will be a difficult challenge for them.

You should try the Green....its smooooooooooooooooooooooooooooth as your Thai gf's breasts, i tried the Blue....the top of the range...my pallet did not appreciate it, tried the Gold....not for me...but the Green yes....$80+ a bottle it hurts a little, i will stay with the Green but if the Dees tank its back to the Black....ho and the Red? can't drink it...i wouldn't even use it to start a fire.

Glenfiddich i like......but thats about it.

Not much to crow about if you beat Chooks, he's a shadow of his former self, bit like Freo....and my fantasy team are doing a Dee's of 1965, after the 64 flag headed into oblivion.

I will investigate Fantasy soon when i get some time, I'm not happy i have to play against blow ins, even if we put up 2 teams each its still better keeping it in-house i think.

[kaorop]

Yow..... poor umpiring at a crucial time nearly cost the swans, luckily they still won and all is right.

Its part reason why i got out of "umpired team sports" (afl/baskeball), to many mistakes by others (umps and players) mitigate your efforts.

Can’t avoid some poor umpiring.

But cannot accept some poor handballs. I can think of one that ended with Buddy kicking a goal.

Looks like some punters may have made some money.

Good win to the Swans especially after last weeks result.

[Cynical Sailor]

Great start from Collingwood. I've been bagging my beloved Pies for weeks (rightly so too) and picked Geelong in my Tips earlier in the week (as did 96% of tipsters).

30 minutes before the game I got an attack of the guilts and switched to Collingwood.

Here's hoping they keep going and repay my faith.

Glad you've got that straight in your mind before you enter your tips for the next six weeks.

Is it possible to have a caretaker coach for your fantasy team while you are in footy exile?

I recommend AlexRRR, he is twitching to play two teams.

[AlexRRR]

have my thoughts on cynical.....and you joeblow rant traveling to well in tipping son....as for believing Fj is doing 6 weeks worth of everything, well its a mask....you know just look at the leader board...phiilipines isn't exactly the end of the earth or even pre historic...they have net i been there...works better out side of a big city i might add...

​only half time but I'm happy the kid has slipped one back on me....you know kick him in the guts and all while his down...thats when he goes ape with his picking....

[Thechook]

Well my son had a good game at Etihad last night, two marks, 6 kicks, a handball, 1 goal,2 behinds and a goal assist. Not to bad for his 1st year of AFL oh the score 5.7.37 to 0.1.1.

Now its the Attitude adjustment and reprogramming process. He was born a Saint and has been told he can move out if he sways.

I have put a contract out on this guy, he was a disruptive influence on my son reminding me of Mormons when they come knocking at your door and he stuck his ugly book head in front of my camera. I was going to tackle him and give him a good mad dog Muir saints how do you do but the wife restrained me.

On the plane shortly.Have company internet but social media is banned.Got to try and find the ins and outs of local internet phone card.Good luck to all over the next few weeks.

[ozzydom]

Trust them magpies to stuff up a perfect score.

[AlexRRR]

It was Delicious today, got one over the kid, Ozz and i the Dees of TV beat the gang this weekend......

[joboss]

Congratulations to those astute tipsters, AlexRRR and Ozzydom for snagging 8/9.

Where's BM??

I'm worry that a disgruntled comfort woman has left him handcuffed to a bed in a remote resort somewhere in the jungle and chimpy has unknowingly gone home with the keys.

[BookMan]

Congrats to AlexRRR and Ozzydom for the 8/9 week. The Dees Duo leading the comp for the week!

Alexrr had the best margin of the two and is back in love with Richmond and Hardwick

Overall Ripstanley still leads the comp, by just one point now, followed By AlexRRR , Myself and Will27

I'm not sure where Chooka is...he might have dropped out of the competition as i can't see him on the tally board anymore...

[BookMan]

Yow..... poor umpiring at a crucial time nearly cost the swans, luckily they still won and all is right.

Its part reason why i got out of "umpired team sports" (afl/baskeball), to many mistakes by others (umps and players) mitigate your efforts.

A very poor umpiring game...Several decisions not given to Sydney early on that would have been kicks for goals. Luckily, it was balanced out later in the game, when Hawthorn was denied a coupe of decisions also, that would have had them kicking for goal. You can add to that several dubious free kicks that were paid to the Hawks that led to goals for them.

A lot of skill errors throughout the game from both sides...A couple of clangers from Hanneberry who otherwise had a terrific game and could have taken 3 Brownlow votes. Big Buddy Billions stood up again and had a blinder, being the difference between the sides in the end. Sydney is averaging 62 inside 50s a game this season and managed just 40 this game, so a good effort from the boys.

Hardly a passenger on the field. Grundy was outstanding (after a stinker last week), Rampe almost Best on Ground, young fellas Heeney, Mills, Hewett, Zac Jones all terrific, with Hewett having what looks like his breakout game.

Tippet played his best game for the Swnas so far...he seems to be genuinely enjoying his ruck work and new role and is doing a mighty fine job. He has a big challenge next week against the Roos in Goldstein

Nic Smith kept Rioli quiet again and Tom Tradebait Mitchell (future carlton player) kept Sam Mitchell to under 20 disposals and no influence on the game

Gary Rohan returned for his first seniors game of the year. He had played 3 games in the NEAFL leading up and his form was rated as average at best. But he came in and was the X factor we needed. 3 goals, pace and constant harrying of Hawthorn players to put them under pressure

Congrats to both AlexRRR & Ozzydom for picking 8 and AlexRRR for getting the choccies.

AlexRRR is in white hot form.

Keep an eye out for him Ripstanley

[AlexRRR]

Thanks WILL, it was a pack of Wagon Wheels this weekend, dont know about white hot form...looked pretty cut and dried to me this weekend.....need to back off as its a poisoned chalice who leads early in TV Tipping, Books has peaked early, if it was a few more rounds in and coupe of extra picks behind the kid would be irrational....its not even close to halfway mark yet so its still a raffle, from 10th up its anybody though sailor boy is making a charge....he's the man to watch, I'm just a stayer....you know....the OX

[AlexRRR]

Fantasy......Blowjo continues to charge now just out of the 8, 3 wins in a row, well kid its beginners luck happened to me last season now look at me, i managed to scrape in on the back of Watts and Hogan having great games against the Lions, both played above normal thank god and happy to say i knocked off one of them league footballer, the win moved me one game clear of Chooks and out of the relegation zone.

Chooks was cleaned up by Joblow putting an end to any though of playing off this season, Grant another solid win this time against Scott....Fj continues to languish, blame it on the Philippines adventure, Leonine was cleaned up by top side The Traders and poor Rip was piped in the final minutes.

TV members aside from Grant and possibly Joboss a spent force in the creation of the new league...Grant the only member in the 8 with a good record of 6-2, Joboss making ground sitting at 4-4, Rip hanging in at 3-4 still could make it as Scott and Nic don't look to steady there at 7th and 8th, the rest of us...me at 3-4 Chooks at 2-6 Fj at 1-7 Leonie at 1-7 just not good enough.

[Will27]

This comment/tweet from Collingwood's American import Mason Cox gave me a laugh.

"That awkward moment when you have to go to an Auskick clinic and teach kids how to play footy who have played longer than you."

C'mon Khun BM, you have to remember we were playing Hawthorn, no such thing as a bad decision! Oops, free kick to Hawthorn!

Thoroughly enjoyed Friday nights match, thought the boys put on a strong showing, my concern is Zak Jones. I just don't see how he's kept his spot, his stats are from impressive and he's definitely the weak link in the back 6 for the Swans, unless of course you take out Ted Richard's penchant for concussions. Poor bar steward.

Good to see Reg Grundy back to his best, he had hugely poor game against the Tigers last week. Dane Rampe, whoever has taken this kid under his wing and cultivated him over the pre-season deserves coach of the year! I thought the boys would struggle this year down back but Rampe has been somewhat of a linchpin.

Gary Rohan! We knew he was going to be the burst of pace we needed, but, I think he's gained about two feet in his vertical leap. Throw him and Heeney down front and watch the aerobatics take off! Bruce was jizzing all over the commentary box every time Heeney or Rohan jumped. Disappointed he didn't say 'delicious' though...

Tradebait Tommy's not going anywhere BM, despite playing a tagging role on Sam Mitchell, still managed 20 disposals for himself... Good to see his versatility.

Cinderella's also having a bit of a breakout year, having Sinclair is probably doing no damage either.. Reckon Khun Will27's still upset over the Jetta swap?

Also liking George Hewitt as well, been a great find along with Tommy Papley...

Always good when you can manage your injuries well, seems the 'blow ins' have suffered quite a few irreplaceable injuries that and a couple of mediocre players had pretty big games last weekend though I guess that was balanced out by bigger names having quieter games.

It will be interesting to see how they all start to fair come the 3 week bye round in a couple of weeks
