With all this pressure on the Eagles to play Partington,i hope he doesn't do a Larkey from North and have 0 disposals.

Adding i think the critics are being hard on the Eagles,many sides have given up leads this year in such a close competition.

Also teams vary in their game style,Simpson probably acknowledges his midfield strength is down and that's why they play a defensive intercept game setting up from there.

I'm not an Eagles fan but don't see why they are getting bashed by local media when there is a lot of basket cases below them.

Oh that's right,the sides below are  playing kids and going nowhere.A lot will disagree but i'm still a fan of the top up method.Sure a coach can identify raw talent and how they fit into the side but having to give a youngster 50-60 games to fit in is a recipe for disaster.That's what the magoo's is for.

Gang, word on the Soi is that Dustin Martin is going to the Swans.

I hope not. They don't need an extra gun in the midfield.

We don't need him, likely GWS - his old man has pretty strong ties out that way so probably needs someone to run the business..

 

There'd have to be plenty of movement at the homestead for us to be able to fit him in the salary cap and avoid future trade sanctions because Eddie will get upset

Apparently, it's on the proviso that Tippett gets traded and McVeigh retires.

Why coach Fj?.......2 horse town thats why....top up is ok if there in there prime as there not going to get better with at least 3 to 4 seasons in them and of course they need to be in the top dozen of there position.

 

Then we have the issue that media has seen that sensationalising something sells...its a fact of life that pisses me off...Ms Caro has a habit off being able to appear to write an article that seems fair and just yet can be scathing at the same time, its one of the reasons I won't read her reports, in fact I normally skim over most news reports choose what I want to read...I prefer the politics of the game rather than the crap of on going coaching merry go round etc etc...

 

Really in this day and age we are no wiser...once I though we were too smart now were better educated to get sucked in by media but no were not for me the first gulf war brought home how American inspired media can wip up not only the American public  Australian as well...we were ready to shoot off an army to Iraq and we amazingly did....

The footy's arrived for another week.

Have been bold in my tipping picking the Kangas to keep there run of wins against the Dee's.

Going for 17 in a row in gale force winds in Tassie.

Two good quarters should get the job done. 

[AlexRRR]

Friday Funnies....

 

Hawks vs Swans.....Clarko will want to win this one, it will take the heat of the trading debacle preseason, on the other hand Horse needs a win to stay up where they belong a song that well sends me to the toilet....also safe guards his job as getting long in the tooth as a coach without taking a flag becomes perilous in the world of AFL....

 

Fj the soon to be installed heir or is it hair? aparent to beam me up Scotty super duper Roos vs the Steel Bluer Dee's, ya I thought it a joke to at the beginning of the season too, with suspensions mounting at Deeland its not a joke anymore...wont let Scott stand in our way... most important game for the Dee's its a must win...a MUST win, with GWs coming up a win to stay in the top 6 is paramount...like the movie making company...

 

GWS is down vs Dockers who are under water.....good game for the once flag favs to get some form back by wiping them good DEVO no slip ups here RON....Lucky Lyon has a job for life at Freo isnt it?

 

Wow match of the round...NostoChooks the prediction man's Saints away to Port....put down your glasses after the Dee's stitched up a lack lustre Port they won't be smiling at you Chooka...mean as a disturbed bee its how far Port? clock watching Saints will be hoping time goes fast to catch that flight home....

 

Suns vs Tigers....Xmas is almost here, Abblet will fly home no need to keep a pay check that size in an underperforming line up, houses sold I'm guessing most of the packing done as well...Martin is staying a Tiger as only they can understand him dout he has the balls to start somewhere new even if he looks fearsome with all the Tatts....Hardwick needs to play finals its as simple as that, WILL and in i a big fan of his.....sim Sala bin...

 

Blues vs Cats...gees...they wouldn't want to be that bad again, Cats are a purring, warming the jet engines for a tilt at the flag the Blues won't get in there way though I expect a half game of giving stick after last weeks effort...

 

Pies vs Crows, at the G Crows will see it as a training run for September Ed on the other hand sees it as a game to save Bucks head, with big shot Pert gone with more heads to roll saving favourite son is important....expect an upset here...Crows not that good...Pies have one left in them...they do know how to rise to an occasion it has always been a Collingwood thing...always..

 

Dogs vs Bombers....I believe the Dogs are returning wont have it all there own way the flight crew down at Windy Hill are all decked out in AirAsia Red Malaysian wider hips look great waddling down the isle just not wide enough to bump out the wolf wolfs....

 

Ahhh match of the ROUND.....WCE vs Lions....WILL's mob won't want to let This one slip or Foster will become premier WA, Lions do turn up at times, signs are there for a resurgence on the other hand Simpo's clipped wing Eagles looking like missing the finals all together whats will eventuate?...gees I don't know it is a danger game Warning WILL Robinson.....alien approaching..

The result in Hobart was bad enough,but coming on the back of having our farm wiped out due to the monster flood last night really made it a bad bad day,

1mill baht fish stocks gone and virtually all livestock drowned for the second time in 12 months.

I feel for you.

[Ron19]

I see Ozzydom is  having a bad time.

Me, they can stick this AFL tipping in the appropriate aperture, I want no more part of it.

I tipped GWS and they have me as tipping Dockers. Sorry about this but take me off the list.

[farmerjo]

The best part about the Roos win over the Dees was there hard nosed approach at the ball,installing a world of pain on their opposition that got in the way.

Sincere condolences, early in the week we (Chiang Rai) were given a 1000mm in 72 hours forecast but the worst seems to have gone over your way.

Ron, you weren't indecisive but then not sure who you picked.

I did that last week thinking i picked Collingwood but it came up Eagles,but couldn't really be sure who i picked as i changed it a few times. 

[Ron19]

Not indecisive at all, never considered the Fremantle I know who I picked. Always double check after submitting then write my choices on a note pad for reference during games being played then double check that.

The Saints should have put away port in the 2nd and 3rd quarters and ran out with an easy 6 goal at least win.  Their kicking for goal was appalling with 8 shots unpressured  going astray that any under 10 forward would have got.  7 kicks to opponents to give them uncontested marks didn't help either.  The saints lost that game more so than Port won it.  Having said that, the way the saints played port deserved the win.

 

I think Jake Carlisle was best on ground putting on a superb display marking and repelling everything that came his way only to bet down by those around him like Nathan Brown to mention one.
