This week saw FJ 2305 overcome the DD's 2150 GA's cruise past NN's 896 And CCS's 1980 beat Rip's boys 1808 Two rounds left before the finals so there may be some busy trading trying to eek out every last dollar. The ladder looks set at this stage. Next week's draw is FJ V NN DD V Rip GA V CCS You were very lucky Fj......only 2 of my players played above expectations a couple on the other 14 10% at least below averages ...mid's was 120 points alone down though Cripps picked up 50 of that to make it 70 points off average...def broke even rucks broke even and forwards 70 points down, so thats 140....and would have been a nail biter lucky you.... I like to take this opportunity to inform you since your "comfortably numb" one no one not even me ever won the flag from being number one....me last year optus the year before and Chookie the first year....no TV member has won from number 1.....im sure your not worried about the zombie curse that resides in your spirt house in the front garden Ho you dont have one you say, the mrs had one installed on one of your extended sojourns its small and since ur half blind and all wouldn't have noticed walking up the path....But we wish you the best...no kiss of death from us here in TV... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmerjo Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Being on top- does have some advantages like playing NN's this week so a full money grab By 1st week of finals will have a war chest of 500K to tinker with the final spots in the team. The last two years i've been knocked out in the games prior to the Gf but have scored better than the winners the following week so that's the hurdle i'm concentrating on. With the end of season bye that should enable players to complete the home and away rounds without being managed. The big one will be if anyone has the jatz crackers to anticipate replacing Mitchell as Capitano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AlexRRR Posted August 1, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2018 Here it is the 1st of August and winter is one month away from being officially over (thank god) a good week so far as the Dee's should cement there place in the 8 this sunday by burying the GC Suns in the dirt on the G and wow and behold Andy Andrews the State premier of the big Vic has given me notice by email this morning that i will receive $50 within 4 weeks because i jumped onto there Power saving website used it to calculate if my current energy provider is ripping off or not....Thats a few phad thai's i can stock pile next vist to the fair land of beautiful women.... For the Chaps living out of Vic and or overseas Andy likes giving tax payers money away, he played with the AFL to the tune off half a billion dollars and has been guaranteed tickets to all the finals and GF for the Victorian state cabinet on top of that he dropped another lonely Billon $ into the pockets of some construction company when he tore up the contract to build some super highways on entering Government house on election, only to a propose and sign off on a new construction frenzie to run almost parallel to what he tore up originally, hard work driving on Victorian freeways at the moment there is congestion everywhere, the Tulla freeway from the airport has been in constant upgrade mode for nearly 4 years 2 have been spent mucking around the Bulla and Bell st exit points which seen me get a fine because i missed the new turn off.... previous had been seperate now joined togther and 1k before they originally were, i of course am still waiting for a reply to have it squashed things move slowly in government...... And we wont go on about the NBN and the roll out and the fact ADSL was better and had no drop outs WILL we because where in the finals for the first time in ages...sometimes i think im still in Havana.....Swans are digging deep"who" Alex Johnson should be given the nod for this week after 5 yes 5 knee operations, and no there not resting Lance who's been carrying a foot injury all year they say wont make any difference plus they have a very inexperienced forward line...Jack Riewoldt signs a new 2 year extension and Ross (the man chooks loves) Lyon wants wayward Harley Bennell to stay a docker...like who would want him? Bomber Thompson gets an extension for bail and it was noted exwife Annette was in the court house during the hearing, seems love is brewing or did it ever die.... Trashy news and possible fodder Hanneberry to the Saints.....just think about it... Lynch is gone.....Suns are like the Israelites wandering the Sini desert for the next 40 years man i dont want sand in my sandals Lynch is reported to have said linked to the Tigers the worst keept secret of the past 2 years, but hey if Hanneberry goes theres a nice spot in Sydney coming up.... Flash drive.....Nathan Freeman on the verge of making his debut with who else but the Saints...was drafted 5 god dam years ago....37 touches at Sandy against Box Hill which use to be a power house VFA side now is known as little China... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to burst ur happy bubble fella i can easily muster up a Million big ones to spend the next 3 weeks the trouble is picking the winners, my goal all year was to make money first winning was secondary as its sudden death once your in the finals, again coming to the end of season very little is between the top 4 teams and its on the day like you had a good day and i had an off day, its on the day, we will most likely be against each other week 1 of the finals.....as im not going to go up and your not going down and Grant will be sure he wont want the curse.... I suggest you get out and look for the spirt house as the Zombie curse is real.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRRR Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Its return of the forgotten men this round....Nathan Freeman for the Saints and there got nothing to loose now, comes with good pedigree....picked up by the Pies @ pick 10 in the 2013 draft never played a game then offloaded to the Saints in the 2015 off season ( and every one knows how astute the saints are at picking the pick of the litter) for a few dozen hamburger buns and a 5 bottles of tomato sauce for end of season party at Sandringham beach. Alex Johnson Swans last game was GF 2012, 6 years later he is in the team, 5 knee reconstructions and a total of 12 knee operations......well he's earned his pay from the Bloods... Then there is Aaron VandenBerg for the Demons, was a mature age recruit to start with and still only 26 and built like an NFL Tight End shoulders so wide he looks like a boeing jet rushing down the runway, missed getting drafted so headed to the NEAFL.....Ainsley FC came a calling so to the capital he went won 2 best and fairest and picked twice in the NEAFL team off the year, Dee's swooped with the 2cd pick of the rookie draft in 2015, made his debut in the opening round of the same year and never looked back......was an outstanding first year player that seems so long ago, never played a game in 2017 and i was sure he would be delisted end of this season due to he spends a lot of time in sick bay during his time with us...BUT the Dee's think highly of this guy both an inside and outside Midfielder cum forward very good at the contest and a super strong tackler will kick a few goals per game and put the fear of death into defenders hearts...Dee's think so much of this guy he goes straight into the 18 picked on a half forward flank for his first game in 2 years in the AFL..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrantSmith Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Plenty of each way bets to be had this week fellas with a couple of derby's in Adelaide and Perth that could go either way. Probably only 2 game you could lock in for a win, Dees running over the top of the Suns but even then, given all the tough talk about Lynch moving on next year might have them fired up ?, the other being the Giants waltzing home over the Blues. The rest, as the French would say, bonne chance mes amis.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmerjo Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Funny game last night,Tigers in control all night other than 3 or 4 bursts that nearly got the Cats home. I must say with all the talk of the rule changes,the only one i'm seeing is the Ruck nomination. The tigers style of knocking the ball out of congestion to keep the play flowing is entertaining to watch and suits their smaller running players to a T.Wish a few more sides would take it up. Will say it again this week(as it worked last week?)Dday for my Kangaroos at the Gabba,have had the wood on them for a long time now but 4 quarters of good footy is still required.Nice to see Waite back. So while everyone will be glued to the Bombers v Hawks and the Showdown,one punter will be barricking for the blue and white.? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stud858 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I love the excitement of the scrap. Last night was great. I don't want to see a game of long kicks and 300 easy kick goals. Leave the game as it is. Jack sets the standard for the tap on pass. A lot of players try to take possession first then get tackled. Both teams top play. Abblet 9 out of ten would have scored that last one. Looking forward to swans v pies later today. Enjoy the scraps chaps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRRR Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 And thats the problem with the pussys....they play in spurts, they can dwindle a lead of 40 points in half a quarter, bas*****s got lucky with us due to our inexperience in big games, topping up with expensive players hasn't worked for them or the Hawks as well as the Swans, Clarko is desperate for a final swansong by coming-out and saying he is interested in Lynch, he can go there in the end the top 4 or 5 are making all the bikkies the rest are on struggle street salary wise and will continue too hover mid table while clubs like WCE Demons and the Pies play free agency like it was meant to be played... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stud858 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 In regards to a score review. I often hear commentators say. There must be no doubt to overturn the call. But I don't think that's what the people up stairs have been instructed to do. If they are pretty sure seems to be good enough reason to change the score.

The Blues will give some stick to the Gaints as Radar promised in his faltering Italian ...a run is imminent, a run at what were not to sure off, it WILL all come unstuck around the 12min 15 sec mark of the second quarter... The Suns how WILL they respond to Lynch's very bad secret laid bare? shows you how dumb they are up on the Gold Coast, every half decent player including druggies have left, if Eade couldnt do it Dew wont go far, at the G the Demons will be ruthless after half time, with Swans @ the G, Eagles in Perth and Giants @ the G in the next 3 weeks the Dee's will have played there finals before they get there, they will need to take a couple of these scalps other wise is curtains week 1...BUT we are very positive .....looking into the middle distance....ommmmmm ooommm....the run to the flag is about to start with a bonus of a new iPhone x a bag of confetti and a ticket to Los Vegas here we gooo here we goo gooo gooo Lyon has sent a resume to the Saints,, its expected Harvey and Ross are headed to Moorabbin.....kindred spirts stay togther, and a home coming is in order....they can pick up there slabs at the Northcote pub number 2 ticket holder manager's at a discount, today the mince meat grinder will mince up fish bait for the fisher folk who sit on Freo Dock who would rather fish than go watch the Dockers get done today as the Eagles fine tune for the big game coming in 2 weeks.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sceadugenga Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I don't think we deserved the win anyway Will, If I had any sense I would have picked the Crows and now be 5/5. They need to get rid of Walker, as captain at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmerjo Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 The AFL needs to act on the goal review. Common sense suggests it's for howlers but goal umpires being umpires want to have that 10 seconds of fame. Let the goal umpire make a decision and review if it's a standout howler on goals only on way back to centre bounce. A $2 laser beam from WA salvage going post to post would do a better job than what they have now in place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
