Come on Rip, you told me the Port game was in the bag????

 

We're just taking it one game at a time.

[AlexRRR]

You know i love this guy Jose Mourinho, im sure most here would be familar with him....love they way there loved one day and hated the next in soccer, jose has probley made more money from getting sacked and sitting out the seson that actualy coaching, to be fair to the man he has 8 championships to his name and a ton of silver wear that would make some of women feel insecure...

 

Seen him in a doco on Brain Robson as his assitant even then had this kinda darkish moody look, i do recon he has a personality of gold in fact i loved it when he was giving his predictions last world cup another side of him came out....a John Kennedy type? ahhhh most of you interstaters wouldnt know commando Kennedy, the modern version is Malthouse, and yes ive stood next to Malthouse at a bar once, not a big guy at all, looked me over....dont think he thought i could line up at full forward for the pies...https://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/now-people-understand-mourinho-reminds-united-of-persistent-problems such was his look...Biggest achievement was getting Man United to second during his time...in other words well i dont need to speel it out, host of over paid ballarinas in the team...

[AlexRRR]

Murder by candle lights starts soon.....almost forgot it was friday....just checked the team line ups....well there is a big black hole on every line for Melbourne...why Braydon Preuss dont make the line up im bewildered at least he throws his 207 cm around unlike that little dart Billy Streach....Think the Eagles should be good sports and swap there interchange bench with us...you know...like Leeds let the other mob score a goal after a bit of a stuff up over fairplay and just casue there nice guys, poor Leeds shock horror in the top 2 all year in the Champship slipped a bit towards end of season to finnish 3rd had to go play off route...well i seen each of the Leeds and Frank Lampards Derby games Leeds had won twice home and away facing Derby last week in a playoff 0-1 so put down your glasses...lost last night 2-4 to go 3-4 overall....and another year in Div 1....great game 2 send offs lot of ballarina stuff and oscar nominations as they do as they do...

 

No one is givin the Swans a chance and at the same time no one wants to know Clarkson anymore.....warning warning WILL Robinson...

From one off the pace to equal last in two weeks in the tipping.

Couldn't pick my nose at the moment.

Well i hope The Little Master gets off this week,he was clearly the difference between the Roos and Cats.

I would be disappointed if he played last week and goes this week.With Fyfe on a similar charge it might be viewed different.

Don't normally watch the A-league but sat  with son to see a thrilling finish with the Glory

Not so good for Alex's mob losing 6-1(least the Dees got up for you)

Whilst on other sports the mistake ridden IPL final was a cracker going to the last ball.

Back to footy,feel for young Sam Durdin for Norf who will be suspended,doing the right thing putting on a sheperd knocking out Rohan.Not sure what your meant to do in that situation.

Team of the week for me was the Hawks,they just know a way to get it done with backs against the wall.   

 

I was 9 off the pace 4 weeks ago clawed myself back to 3, now dropped off to 6.

Hope it's a good game (win) on the big stage this Friday night.

No one believes me.

 

I'm telling you, were just going.

Awwww hey super coach you know how it is....lack of experiance in tight pressure games, mate if thats close to the wrose team we can put out on the park...watch out...

 

Meanwhile Kev Muscat WILL coach his last game soon when Victory play a Japanese team in the Asians Champions league dead rubber, turned himself into a media darling this year....law of Attraction he uses for sure, pure positive vibes, they say the mauling by Sydney had nothing to do with it.....ummmm anyway im sort of relived as even he has the score on the board Sydney is showing us how to play, slick euro style, this 3rd division Millwal style where Kev use to play wont win in Asia.

 

Tom Boyd has retired at 23...gees i thought he was older than that, again its the dreaded clouds of mental health though its not used as an excuse, hope he goes ok and thanks for the game of your life in that GF.

 

The word around town...and you heard it here....buckets of bickkies and cash WILL be used to lure Yaeo or how ever you spell it east...the number 6 is vacant over at the G, Dee's have been very aggressive in picking up quality defenders, kept the Eagles in the game but not for much longer....

 

Kayo....like the rest of Foxtel a poor cousin of Netflix, gees i have had some issues getting it to play on the iMac....iMac has a nice big 21 inch screen...eat your heart out windows boys, most of the time i have to log in to get it to work, said when checking settings etc dont open Private Window...well i hardly ever do only when looking for hotels and flights....anway after a frustrating 3 weeks its kinda not doing that anymore...but you guessed it....roots around wainting to find a signal and like the router is just 5 meters away....The demise of Foxtel cant be too far away i have never thought it was of much value...even the shows they produce for the footy for instance is like crude, Noff's King....(rolling eyes in sockets) is on the level of Sandy, he must have contacts casue you cant stay in a job like that with out them, he and the 2 Riewoldt's, sorry Chook...Nick has the personality of a cobra while jack is the charming one, jack kept it all togther is  a natural, previous to that again Jack with Jordan Lewis with the 360 guys i think....again jack kept it togther Lewis was calm and collected and the 2 employees....were did they find them?

[farmerjo]

I thought you would be proud of the Dees effort Alex and for much of the game they were the better team.

Wasn't till Shuey and co got on top of Oliver late in the 2nd half the tide changed.

The goal kick goggles was more aimed at Petracca.If i've ever seen a guy hear footsteps,it was him last night.

A spell in the Magoos would not do him or the team any harm.

Chris has self image issues, this should have been his break out year, i the lone voice in the wilderness think the kid should be playing mainly on the ball....on the ball yes on the ball....dont need to be Einstien to know the formula to get someone moving is playing them at the coal face, think what he would bring to the team....a Panza divison in the centre yes yes we are blessed with some quality mids i know i know, Petracca is a 3 to 4 goal mid forward per game.

 

I was proud of the lesser lights formley mention as big black holes on each line, the normal oragatangs like number 3 hands like a monkey did enough, Big Tom is getting back, you know there doing the preseason as we speak.

 

Perth do not scare us....as you have noticed, at the same time you cant keep quality down for ever, those 2 late goals in the 3rd pretty much told me the ending, the season is wide open right now get a run on and WILL is your uncle...

Great win for the Swans. I change my tip after Kennedy was ruled out. Jones was out in the 2nd quarter. The kids really stood up. Average age for the Swans tonight was just over 23.

Yes, a good win by your boys.

Always hard to beat Norf in Tassie.

 

Here's the write up from Titus.

 

North Melbourne vs Poleclimbers (BA) Seven & Fox 7:25pm

North have improved in recent weeks, beating Carlton and then pushing Geelong. 

That said, the only thing they could do is improve after the horror start to the season. It would be no surprise if Brad Scott gets them to improve just enough not to get fired and another year goes by for the Kangaroos.

Now they get to face a fellow very ordinary side who are coming off a win against a fairly ordinary side.

A win here means, well nothing really. I guess it has some impact on the mid-season draft, an event so exciting I’ve been having trouble sleeping.

It now seems Sydney’s highlight of the season will be a grown man climbing up a pole. Their fans might as well have been to a woodchopping competition and saved themselves some time.

Who knows who could win this? I can make a strong case for why both sides will lose but winning is a lot harder.

I’m tipping North.

 

[Will27]

Well gents

 

That's it for another round.

 

Stud 858 picked the card and gets the Mars Bars this week.

 

Ozzydom still in the lad closely followed by Stud.

 

Until next week.

Good win for the youngsters Rip.

I very rarely turn a game off before the end winning or as lately losing.

But watching Allir Allir run around on his own for 3 quarters stopping every thrust forward i decided the Aussie election broadcast was more exciting than what Brad Scott could do in the coaches box.

Not to take away from the Swans,there 2nd quarter was intense attacking football.

My thinking is that Allir Allir should not be in the team.  He can mark but after that he is hopeless. Maybe Brad Scott thought the same.

[AlexRRR]

The Blues have headed to Canberra to quickly recruite the Libs mafia team.....wops slip there media team, after the stunning reserection of Lazarus, who i mean was like very dead 2 weeks out from the sat polls....

 

No one saw it coming, look if Morrison can win the PM job Bolton is safe as your house...Ive always been a political swinger with a hint of red though a solid Blue last 15 years or so by then i was old enough to know what my dad use to tell me was right, cant trust labour with your money...anway the most unpopular pollie in the world outside of Trump and hey isnt he doing a good job? They just cant touch him....speculation of inpeachment is just about dead now, Shorten.....has been keeping a low profile last 3 years actualy started loooking ok, recall how Trump style he use to put his foot in his mouth? seems a while ago now...well i actulay did not vote Lib....cant pick a winner this season there you go......

 

Put it this way if Bolton goes Walls gets the job...hehehehe....i dont know, Silvani was recruiter for the Gaints no one complain up there. Im still thinking they will slip on the after burners in the second half and shock a few teams...

 

The sling and the verbal dressing down of Maxi......Gees i thought it a bit poor on the ump not to blow dead ball...did not realize a report came out of it....umpires fault, what to do what to do? should have been a ball up....as for Vardy and Max think he may have delighted in the fact Ryans mark was of pure stella jet ski over the back...dont know how the tuby fella could get up that high....Max you cannot get anything out of him...this whats makes him the best ruckman around...his emotions are left in the locker room every game never ever gets sucked in.....its zeeeeeeeeeeeeen..........bounce down.....There is a report in todays google news that Max was vocal...bullocks....Max dont talk much during a game and definatly never hangs it on ya......

 

Ross Lyon tells his players they can hang back on there own time for goal kicking practice....i should tune into a freo game and see how Hogan is going.

 

You Perth boys should be dissapointed over loosing the ALeague GF last night, but Sydney is easy the best team of the last 4 or 5 years, denied a clear goal latish in the first half by VR which left everyone in disbelief not offside flag was not up and yet review by VR overturned the goal....goes to extra time then goal kicks, distasteful way to end a final but hey they game would be still going on now other wise. Poppie as stated before 3 time top of the pops 3 time GF looser.....i suggest that Perth Glory ditch its purple strip or just make purple less of a color on it....its a poor fashion statement also aligns them with Freo...

 

Recall Israel Folau? how the AFL bank rolled his 13 games at GWS? Is on the nose....the well read bored guys there might be up with him...Sacked..gone.....dumb man....shooting his mouth off....Reminds me of a one Glenn Hoddle, the number 10 for Spurs during the 80's was pure brillainace in a white jumper could put the ball at your feet or have it sailing through the air for a header top corner....England international in a luke warm team darling of soccer back then...did go on to manage...and he also did an Israel, back then western spirtulizum was on the rise, with a good career in front off him he was reported to blurt out somnething along the lines of.....handicap people deserve there misfortune due to there karma....well that went down like a ton of lead right along with his career...never heard of him again....so what have we learend today? poltics and religon have no place in sport...

Report card for round 9...That jumper......Eagles ...OMG....Tough men in the west, have to be to get away with it and win.....looked like a bunch of grade 3 girls in ballerina costumes as they were running out onto the ground, i must say that jumper had me transfixed for most of the night...it got to the Dee's in the end too...

North Melbourne (72) v Sydney (77)

This game had it all, niggle, questionable umpiring, Tasmanians and a tight finish. 

North’s major problem was a stretch in the second quarter when they conceded seven goals to two.

From there, it was all uphill as they fought back.

All North supporters could do is watch on and say ‘thank god for Jack Ziebell’ because without him North could be below Carlton on the ladder.

I think ‘thank god for Jack Ziebell’ is their membership campaign slogan this year.

The Kangaroos would have to be considering Brad Scott’s future, but in the ‘post-Hardwick won a premiership and Buckley has come good’ era no club wants to sack anyone.

Just as sacking coaches all the time doesn’t work, never sacking coaches probably doesn’t work either. 

Each situation is different and requires two things, thinking and judgement. 

Unfortunately, these two things are in short supply in the AFL. If only the AFL industry had those qualities in the same quantity as they have confidence.

Sydney will be thrilled they managed this great escape. They’ve now won two in a row and probably only need to win another ten in a row to play finals. 

Easy!

[Will27]

And one for our resident Blue Bagger.

 

 

Greater Western Sydney (138) v Carlton (45)

Carlton have to concede that getting Bill Shorten to give the pre-game speech was a mistake.

At least no pollster had them winning, so this wasn’t a surprise.

What probably was a surprise is that after all this time under Bolton, the Blues players can still produce some of the most shameful footy you’ll see. 

And shameful it was. All supporters want to see is effort, but against the Giants, the Blues players sized up early on that this was going to be all too hard and abandoned their game plan quicker than the French abandoned the Maginot Line.

It was every man for himself as the Giants stormed the barricades only to find the defensive structures completely empty.

There is no way the Blues players can claim they tried hard when you consider the stats of their opponents.

Lachie Whitfield had 40 possessions, 18 marks and three goals. Now he’s a really good player, but that’s ridiculous, especially when Tim Taranto had 38 possessions and Josh Kelly 35.

The Giants even won the tackle count which was amazing considering I barely saw a Carlton player touch the ball. 

Perhaps the most amazing part of the game was that Harry McKay managed to kick three goals. Considering the situation, that was like kicking 18 goals in a normal game.

So, what to make of the result? Well for the Giants, nothing, they would train harder than this. 

For Carlton, also nothing, they are exactly where they’ve always been and that’s the problem.

It certainly doesn’t help that if you successfully tag Cripps, you are effectively tagging Carlton.  

I used to enjoy making jokes at Carlton’s expense, but the fun has gone out of it. I’d say it’s because it’s like shooting fish in a barrel, but at least the fish offer a moving target.

[AlexRRR]

Poor Blues...if this keeps going the AFL WILL have to step in, i would have thought there would be light ahead for this mob by now.....

 

Look i think they will just do a yaba daba do and off you go but if there still poo by the end of this year there should be a purge dout the current board are sitting to comfortably including Juddge, when its not working its often not working from top down, Dee's were shit but gees we masked it well for a lot of years, the Rattern chop then Malthouse debacle no love left for the current president and hench men...Tom Elliot might make a suprise swoop for the CEO and boy he could do a good job id say if you can get him off radio...

 

Dont balme the coach he got the job on merit, has to be something else.

Really is it necessary? i just dont know...i normaly dont have a view about to many things anymore...makes us confused and gees enough shit affecting out personal lives we even need to be concerend with a koorie game....but im under the inpression we are one nation, treat them all the same is what i say....AFL should be stoped trying to razamatazz up the game for heavens safe...

 

Meanwhile on a very cold evening Kev Musket is fare thee welled off with a hatchet job done on the Victory by Hirosima, a second string team stiches up Victory in a dead rubber Asians Champions League game, Kev is a nice guy but Millwall style english football wont get ya far in life, cant belive how awful they were, no class at all....dont they teach them skills in training  anymore? serioiusly i could organize 11 shuitz's to perform better at AMMI park than what the Victory staff can do will 11 humans....

The dreamtime is here....real and live, just hours ago Brad accepts the end is nigh.....Brad Scott joined around the BBQ last night with Noff officials roasting a kanga on the spit and throwing back Aldi beer says his time is up to North.....could be gone in 3 weeks....might even see out the year....unlikley....The vodoo doll Fj has been sticking with pins since the off season has done its deed.

 

 10 years is a long time to coach with no real kudos on the board...so tell me what is it that kept him in the job so long?

 

Scott "Mo" Morrison after pulling off the thinkable maybe offered a deal...its unlikely he would be intrested, there is an out of work experianced pollie but chole might want him at home with the kids from now on....

 

So quick to mind comes a few experianced night hawks looking to get back in....Needle...Malthouse...Ratton....Bailey...wops hes ummm departed..but could coach from heaven and wouldnt require a wage...Dont rule out Voss......Could always ask Ron Barassi to come on down till the end of the year....they could dig up Comondo Kennedy and plok him in the rooms...might casue a revolution as he was a Hawk a lot longer...

I've been waiting for that sort of good news for a long time and no better person than you to bring it hot off the press Alex.????

Now if i was on the selection committee for a new coach,there would be no interviews for a Bolton like.

Or anyone else unless Brenton Sanderson doesn't want the job.

The perfect candidate with previous experience who would do better 2nd time round and has attacking,scoring mindset.

I'll get on the phone to Arden street now.????????????

Happy days ahead,if Scott had gone on another rebuilt and another 5 years.
