Carlton 15.11.101 def. Western Bulldogs 7.15.57

 

[Will27]

Well gang

 

All over again for this round.

 

Famerjo and Radar both picked 6, with Radar getting the KitKat's

this week for being closest to the margin.

 

Caps of a good weekend for Radar with his beloved Blue's getting a win also.

 

Gazman still leads followed by Stud and Bigwazz.

 

Don't forget it kicks off again this Wednesday.

Some ball tearing games as well.

The word down at Arden street is the coach is safe and looks like the Circle will be coming out this week.

I can imagine it,okay boys were 1 and 4 but it could be worse.

Poor old Aston Turner has just made 3 golden ducks in a row in the IPL.

 

[Will27]

Gang

 

I've put a BOLO out for Alex.

 

He's probably at home under his desk in the foetal position, but you never know.

How's his strike rate though

It probably shouldn't but this really made me laugh.

Imagine if a coach did it today!

 

Don’t miss Rocket Eade sharing his appreciation for big Will Minson’s efforts against the Sainters in 2009.

555 Sounds like Rocket doing his best Joe Pesci impersonation.  He always came across as mild-mannered in public, so it is a fair example of the pressures that he and others are under in the coaches' box.   

 

Always laugh when Channel 7 flicks up to Brendon Bolton as he tries to mask his potty mouth.

Hahaha..im alive...ahh its just the dark days back to revisit....nothing like a bad start to a season too keep you quite you know....

 

Well when I read they handed Goodwin an extension pre season I knew it was a bad omen...gees save it for mid season...

 

I was in a poor mood last night so switched off with about 5 min to go...shit game anyone else would have beat the Tigers last night..

 

Trouble down there I thinks....preseason issues at first now there is no 98 unleaded in the tank its been replaced with motor mower blended fuel...and I always had trouble starting the old mans Pope lawn mowers...2 of them...so I bought a victa when I got married....why? the bloke next door vintage victa who I spied with contempt even in the 70's always worked...you should have seen my victa 10 years later...after renovating my house the poor thing was picking up screenings and everything, the housing was like in bits and pieces well missing...but it keet on going...I even traded it in working....so the moral of the story is I will follow the Eagles for the rest off the season with the Saints as my second team....

 

Rodney Eade came out and said in the paper yesterday that piece was doctored and very well doctored...most of what was said did not come out of his mouth...

 

I noticed poor Grant was the solo tipster for the Dee's even Oz has abandoned ship, ho that bird Wendy...she too..but hey moderator if she's not picking still by this stage time to kick the wench out....

 

Nofff...coach safe? It just means the night vision googles are been fittered to the dagger if no light in the tunnel by midseason you can expect them to be used...

 

Anyway I was lucky...I been out of Melbourne for a few days then seen somewhere the game was on last night....lucky as I would have got the away team....

 

The razor came out at selection this week...it didn't do the trick, Tom down back a move that should of happened 3 weeks a go to get the dude into some sort of form, still won't play Christian on the ball, Weids needs a few weeks out at Casey, Stretch wont ever make it...Spargo....gees he did ok last week better effort than that Carlton discard last night....Simsalsa Eagles and saints..

 

Ps...I got my windows laptop working again cause I was missing playing FIFA Manager...and one thing I learned early in my 12 year history of playing this game is......DONT OFFER or RENEW  CONTRACTS TO PLAYERS or STAFF until around November, why? cause there playing for a contract extension and by a month out from the jan transfer window there pumped themselves up so there hopefully on a roll which means my current team Leeds United is sitting top of the table....

I think Grant may have forgot to put his tip in. Look at his margin. So most probably no one in our comp tipped the Dees. 

I agree with you Alex about Wendy

The other team were up in arms about it,i just turned and said Play till the Whistle.????

Yep, was a good game.

Thought the umpiring was just dreadful though.

 

Farmerjo, are you Wayne Harms????

[farmerjo]

Nice to see the Kangaroos off the bottom of the ladder this week.????

[AlexRRR]

Good morning and excuse me....loose lips when you drink..was a good game by the way...by the only Melbourne that wins regular..thats M Victory...,last game of the season too finishing 3RD...I have Ole's header on vid I watched it over and over, quicker than a kick...looked like it slid off his head from about 20 meters out...WILL be interesting to see if Victory can hang on to Ole and Honda for next year...Ole to be honest does not look too happy and still has big currency back in Sweden since his there striker in the national team...but K Honda...we might get lucky there...

 

Had an interesting day yesterday a woman I use to date Italian girl by the way must have been eager to see me after all this time, she calls from where we are meant to meet next Wednesday at 10.02 am to tell me she's waiting for me.....I told her she will be waiting a long time....Aussie women...women.....I just don't know....you know she never appeared to be too much off a scatter brain in those days.....

 

Son said he needed help to put some stuff in storage so I drove 45 min to go meet up with him only to walk from my loaned ute he was using 30 meters take an elevator then another 20 meters to his cubical one trip...thats it....

 

But it was a good day.....I moved from my garage a robe insert to my veranda....now I just need some motivation to put it in my walk in robe..

 

Mr moderator feel free to delete the post above

[AlexRRR]

Well exciting stuff today.....internet was working fine when I went out for a while when I got home it wasn't on any longer....thinking its the normal drop out we have I didn't think anything of it...hot spotted the phone to the tablet worked just as WILL and the Eagles do...

 

But 2 hours later thought it was doing an Fj on me like he did in last years fantasy GF....so I called DoDo and dodo's they are so I thought...anyway I had not cancelled my NBN but they say it was closed and not can do anything until Monday Jose....

 

While out I picked up my brand spanking new Vodafone NBN modem....was waiting for me at the store that had not contacted me that it was in...I just dropped in by the off chance you know.....the fella sitting behind the counter said the net would be switched on midnight tonight or by morning...I didn't mind when really..

 

Well with all this time on my hands..you know your addicted when you have nothing to do on a Sunday afternoon....thank god the Dee's and Victory had already played...

 

Vodafone bless there little hearts have this awesome app....you can track ur data usage on the great new iPhone I have and many other things too...well with nothing to do I was playing around inside this app when there was a live chat option..so I thought I would ask the question when I would have my NBN up and running...the sweet soul got back to me in The live chat option telling me its up and running right this moment.....joy joy came over me....as you can well imagine...they asked me would I like them to call back in 15 min...I confirmed...Roger....

 

So rushing to unplug the old and sit this nice new mat black modern modem right next to the 65inch telly, tech support called right on the dot and presto 20 min later everything set up just like before no need to go into 30 devices around the house and re set log in and passwords....and guess what else Vodafone do with ur modem? no you won't ever guess so I will tell you...WiFi back up so if the dodgy NBN goes down it automatically switches over....lovely hey...????

 

Theres more...and this is the exciting part....With dodo I had 12 mhp for $59 a month and they had the pleasure of charging me a surcharge of $2 for having a direct debit to my credit card....so it came out just under $63 per month.....Vodafone charges $59 for 25mhp no surcharge....but there is more.....I speed tested my DoDo and at peek times I was getting 8.5 speed..just speed tested my new NBN and its a mammoth almost 23...thats like supercharged my iMac....its like Flash Gordon.....cant believe almost 3 times faster....Thats what im excited about....and talk about service....to think I was with Optus since they started up until 2012, they did my head on more than one occasion im surprised there still in business....

 

Just checked the scores...WILL might be dropping down a few stubbies faster than ever looks like the purrrrrrsssss are gonna wee all over them...talking about weeing pets.....left a few tools in a clients lounge room which is right next to where we are working on Friday....the 3 lovely Yorkshire terriers well 2 one likes to take a bite at my ankle when im walking out lucky there around the size of a small cat pissed into my battery drill case....

yes inside and over another case...wondered why the owner had stacked my stuff on a chair...now I know.....

Well gents

 

That's it for another round.

And what a terrible way to end it.

 

We had 3 who picked the card, being Ozzydom, Chook and Scea.

Ozzydom get's the Milky Bars for being closest to the margin.

Was only 2 off the perfect score, what an effort.

 

Bigwazz still leads the pack.

 

Until next week.

[AlexRRR]

AFL has been somewhat quite of late ...no ones been caught with drug samples in there blood..no ones got pissed and and got into a fight...Caroline Wilson hasnt got much to say excpet...the Swans are telling the world they want to extend Horse's contract i know someone who WILL be spitting blood when they find out....

 

Hey Abblet and the Cats have put contract talks on hold for next year...going forward and booting 10 goals its a forgone conclusion the little baldie WILL get one more year other wise he goes to the Eagles...and think what he would bring to them...

 

Dee's recon Leaver and May wont be back till around mid season and even then they need some game time over there at the wind bowl of Casey.....since they havent had a decent preseason if they manage to get on the turf for the ones they be just making up numbers Nev Jetstar Jetta is out for like for ever something like 11 weeks...add Viney to the chorus for what looks like 2 weeks and you can pack up and go home Dee's..write it off as a Saint Kilda kinda year, in future any good team having a bad hair year will be known as the 2018 Saints ....

 

Talking about razor blades taken to a footy club....the once proud Brisbane Roar who finnished somewhere close to the bottom if not on the bottom, show cased there new Manger/coach for next season last week.....he is known as God.....and this is true...he could do no wrong, he could turn milk into wine and pennies into dollars.....former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler came to Au and took a nice % of the Australian Reserve bank after his playing days at Roar where over back to the mother land...today it was reported that 3 Roar players have retired with former Socceroo Bret Holman also expected to hang up the studs, and an astonishing 11 players cut from the squad in a remake of Hitlers Night of the Long Knives..... Aleague clubs normaly have a list of 25 players...assuming Bret WILL go and its almost a dead cert he WILL there WILL be just 10 left on the list....All money mumchin inport players were part of the Great Exdous.

 

Brad was in the paper today makeing excuses for why the Roo's are 1-6, would not conceed that they over achived last season would not admit there having a bad year...mumbeld something about...were a small members based club...look he didnt make any sense i have no idea what he was talking about, the future for him is in politics when you can give a press confrence get it written up and not admit to anything he is a future cabinet member for sure...

[AlexRRR]

Well Noff wont be getting there man any time soon....in the little big paper i now read on tablet for free Josh Kelly inked a new deal for 2 more years he will then be a FA...He is assuming that its more likely that a GF WILL be with the Gaints.....not Noff....

 

Exciting times ahead for AFL supporters ...mid season draft is coming...the May June Transfer window it will become known as....right now just a bunch of hacks have nominated for it...and the biggest disappointment of them all Jimmy "the Golden Greek" Toumpas has put both hands up...as he needs to be noticed....after being taken in some forgotten draft about 7 or 8 years ago at pick 4 by my humble club was able to play on the G and not ever needing to take a shower after a game...as he never rasied a sweat....im pretty sure nobody here in TV knows of him, after 4 or so lame years he was shipped back to SA his home state to Port i think...we forget as he made absloutly no inpression there as well for his 2 or 3 years....Quitely cut and now kicking around in the SA league...Freeman another high draft pick who took 5 seasons before he played his first game has also nominated....as i said the list is full of "WHO are you"?

 

The AFL trying to keep it sizzling came up with this idea which of course is not new....Soccer has a transfer window..2 of them...NFL football allows for players to come and go deep into the season its rather technical over there and actualy ties up whole departments at print and digital media all year round solid....Im waiting to see when some club will sign a player for 18 months.....2.5 years then it WILL become interesting...something like ...your ruckman is out for the first 7 weeks of the season so you sign a ruckman for 6 months to cover your backside...etc etc...

 

You Thai based guys missed the who harr of the draft but here we didnt...the press where writing a bit about it, was on the telly draft night but of course little intrest was taken unless your nephew, son, cousin etc was in the draft...wont ever work untill there is a serious youth compertion shown nationally on the telly...no one can relate to who they dont see.....

 

It has come out....the EXCUSE....and its a good one when you see the figures...of why the Demons are poo this year....preseason the Demon board were presented with what could and indeed would forshadowed......High performance boss Dave Mission used a comparison bettween preseason 2018 and this year pre season training programs....where many players were recovering from surgery and could not train.

 

Preseason 2018 39 players completed 33 training sessions, this year 2019 preseason 25 players completed 22 training sessions each....Yes well its looking like Jimmy might get a 6 month contract after all.....ho and Freeman too....The list of long term injured is staggering even im amazed we can put a team out on the feild each week...Dave recons 20 Dee players were still in the rehab group after xrissie....thats gonna f##k you up for sure...so yep it was expected we would get a slow start...in fact i dout we WILL ever get going this year...

 

Hold out Weideman WILL be kicking around out in Casey this coming weekend and its likely if the Pies can nab the forward in the mid season draft they WILL assuming Melbourne cut him...

[farmerjo]

It's not all bad Alex,

This week my beloved Roos play the Blues who will be without Kruzer,McGovern,Simpson and Newman.

The only way i can see us winning this one is by going back to playing the old fashioned one on one footy with a bit of Shinboner spirit which seems to have been lost this year.

And i hope Rhys Shaw's contract as defensive coach was only a one year contract.

You want him back Rip and Grant?

Jack Dyer, Ron Casey, Lou the Lip, Harry Beitzel, Drew Morphett, and yesterday, Mike Williamson.   The simple, no-nonsense football commentators who I grew up with have passed on.

Brad saved his ass after an expected good 2018, its fair to say if he dont at least be knocking on heavens door by this seasons end his days surly would be up, as you noticed the Dee's signd Goodwin before the season started well aware they would tank this year and get a high draft pick to go with it, 10 years is a long time for just crumbs my Fj...

 

Longmire....gees i hear he dont or makes late changes from an an ilustrious Swan supporter...Horse took over a good team with good people already there, did a fair job so im guessing letting Dew go who the Demons wanted before Goodwin that Horse has it in the bag...for the next 15 years....

 

Well you just wouldnt pick North now would we? Blues are going to be hot to trott just dont know when just yet...
