A raft of coaching movements at the Dees.

Your mid season review must of had an effect Alex.

????Nothing to add about the Hug.

Could of been one of those days he kicked 1-5 and you lost by a kick.

On a serious note,officials of clubs do watch a lot of footy,suggestions are a good thing.

Until they suggest who should be in the 22,then it's out of hand.

Arrh Bartlett,pretty good player in his own right.

West Aussie of course.????

Paul Scholes (Man Utd) is lucky he never played in the AFL otherwise he'd probably be jailed for life.

Sorry Fj......."Hug" has gone straight over my head........no idea what you mean.....

 

I like how it was told in the paper that Bartlett told the fooball department to "fix" it......it was f******g obvious for 12 weeks who ever was running the forward line didnt have a clue...but i was none the wiser Jade Rawlings who was looking after it last year had been put in charge of Casey....lets see what happens on saturday against the high flying Dockers...

[ripstanley]

Very glad that WCE cannot kick goals. 22 behinds is not good but great for my margin.

Another  win for the Swans. It was a great result. How come everyone jumped on their band waggon? 555555. Well done boys.

We picked the Swans Rip casues the Hawks are a sinking ship....3 or 4 years of plundering free agency has upset a lot of Hawks older brigade, pushing Lewis Mitchell and Hogg out the door equals a win to who ever they play there old bean.....

 

Clarkson just might now think its right for a career change....its pretty much painted in red on the wall he has lost the players....

 

Going back to the 80's Jeans had hung on to the likes of Mathews and about 3 or 4 other players...long time players...300 games under there belt.....I thought they were finished they hung around but didnt look like anything after there previous flag then woopie do the pensioners pulled it off for him they even may have bagged two flags...fading memory now ...then they all retired...Mate you dont cut the back bone of your club like Clarkson did...each one of those guys was a leader at the Hawks...Allen Jeans knew how to do it..

[Will27]

Sorry for being off topic, but for those of you who enjoyed watched the Poms go down in the cricket last night.

 

 

Heavily pregnant and still performing match winning performances.

June 22.....Winter Solstice......South East Australia very chilly on the willy this morning.

 

No footy at Blundstone Arena today, but about 2,000 swinging dicks and maps of tassie were out at the crack of dawn for Hobart's Dark Mofo Nude Swim.

 

I was there a few year's ago.   Spanner water tightened the nuts, let me tell you.

[AlexRRR]

Did any one notice the relife on Gooffiewins face today?............Bartlets axe is hanging over his sorry head.....

 

Ahhh i picked the Dee's on maths alone...they were up for a win not that there any good at producing when there backs to the wall...was pure MATHS....mate of mine used the forumal to pick the quardella you know...he too would note the winning numers then noticed that at a certain time they would reproduce ....not necessarily in the same order but they did come up more often than not...so there is a bigger force at play you know..... it was written in the stars ......nothing could change it...though they tried...shit for 3/4's....its not relaxing watching this lot play....my gut was so tangled i hardly had any dinner.....thats what this lot do to ya.....

 

Start of something new? hardly....lucky we have re runs of the stooges to watch....noticed the Cats went down....so there you are my point proved....

[farmerjo]

I noticed you were one of several that took the plunge and back the hapless Dee's...dont know what was in your head for that....

 

Yes Frost is one of my Fav's they got him from GWS....there loss...hes been at Deeland about 4 ys now....Tall and extremely quick can play tall or short and has this amazing ability to just sprint off who ever is around...id expect him to be a leading backman in the comp within a few years...

 

Saints? hahahaha....what can I say.....just when you think, they do it to you one more time....and Port....who can work them out?....both coaches will be looking for new jobs end of season.....as WILL Goodwin if he don rack up a few wins this Bartlet isn't taking shit from the footy department anymore...praise be to the exulted one up high...we have a leader...

[Will27]

Well felchers

 

All over again for this week.

 

Alex and Grannysapples both picked 5 with Mr Smith getting the

Chokito bars for being closest to the margin.

 

Alex goes into the top 4.

 

Until next week.

Well all I can say is how disappointed I am. Another year on the bottom!! I was in the lead but the Alex asked me what my secret was in particular when I Picked the Dees to win and no one else did and there were odds on to lose. I somehow think this has cast a spell on me I assume something similar to what the Bar Girls when they place a spell on a man which is a very real belief in some Thai circles.

How Alex has managed this I do not know but I place all blame firmly at his feet and as I watch him clawing his way to the dizzy heights I was at for a little while I will now have to wait for my revenge next year as I do not see myself even rising to second last.

So I will hang my head in shame, pants down and all, show me the silver tray with the parsley on so I can at least wallow in my own self pity.

Just half way no need to concide just yet fella.....anyway your not alone down there...Fj is keeping you company....he cant stew over a note pad like he did in fantasy.....to get an  edge...

Even FJ is 4 points in front so every week when I do my tips I will feel like Bill Shorten going to do his vote when he has already read then following days paper

[farmerjo]

I've come to the conclusion tipping is like picking your lottery numbers(not that i play because i would rather die poor than broke).

Once apon a time you could look at a teams spine,bottom 4 players,home or away,who's in or out,opposition,grudge matches.

But it all counts for nothing these days.

All i know is once you get more than 5 away from the leader your in trouble as the more roughies you pick to catch up,the further away you become.

I blame it on the competition being  more even.????

Well thanks for that FJ, I do not think I feel better from reading your post, all I can say is thank goodness for my medication especially considering you are 4 in front of me and if you get to be 5 in front I am totally screwed and will finish the season being a bottom feeder!!!!

From Titus just for Rip.

 

Sydney (82) v Hawthorn (63)

Last week, I described Sydney’s start to the season as being like a drunk stumbling out of the bar, and like me on a recent early Sunday morning, they’ve now done their hamstring.

With Lance Franklin now out for a month, it seems the Swans slim chance of making finals have been put to bed.

The Swans looked in trouble when Buddy went off in this, and it was only when they realised they were playing the Hawks did they relax and finish the job.

It certainly helped Sydney that Hawthorn lack firepower at the moment, with Jarryd Roughead having a quite night in his return to the AFL.

James Sicily also struggled up forward, which was nice to see. Alastair Clarkson referred to ‘the James Sicily Experiment’ after the match which makes me worried Sicily is about to release an album.

The real shame of the match was the fact Ben Stratton wasn’t playing. I would have loved to see the two craziest captains in the league, Stratton and Dane Rampe go at it.

In my mind, I was imagining Rampe climbing the goal post to escape Stratton who was trying to pinch him.

[AlexRRR]

Some good news comes out of Deeland this morning....lazy Boy Geoff Garlett has been ruled out for the season...... nice........going in for shoulder surgery in 2 weeks...so no hurry to get him back it seems....and im glad about that...

 

Dees making up a nice little package to send off to some other AFL club end of season..Garlett...nice and fixed up, the young speed sensation in Billy Strech and Jay Kennedy Harris.....whos not to bad most of the time....mid sized sprinters could look good in any forward line but ours...they need a new home so WCE they go for Yeo.....and I will throw in Alex Neal Bullen...was very good previous 2 ys ..so there you go WILL.....a decent mid forward.....other wise there is Port....

 

Clarkson is in denial....says isn't leaving the Hawks....this is where Kennet comes in...strong rumour that the Blues WILL pick him up...they just don't learn do they.... Scott you ask? starting to look like Saints bound...unlike brother just dont know how to pick a club, Horse? Fj and the Northern clan can only dream....Longmire and his manager are delighted as it just added another $250,000 to his yearly contract....the extra on his 5 year deal will get a nice little chalet in the Swiss apps for xmas vacations....

 

My tip is Voss will pick up a deal to be numero ono next year...Port's Hinkley is the walking dead I'm also inclined to think North....dont know why....was the first name that popped into my head when Brad pulled the skeleton out of the closet...

 

Its been all over the sports section in all news papers here for days..the Matildas bombed out in the round of 16 against tiny Norway.....land of ice and mountains....in penalty shootout and of all people hot to trott sam Kerr missing here spot kick...the best Aussie player and maybe one of the worlds....amazing...but she has nice naked ass....The hatchets out over sacking of Matildas coach 4 months out from the World Cup... noooo oneeeee knows why he was knifed its all mums......it will come out soon though....

 

Will the rich sheik buy Newscastle or won't he? Rafa Benitez has moved on, apparently it was in the sheiks plans to hang on to him...but...no deal yet and Rafa aint dealing with Mike Ashley a sports apparel monolith who dribbles out the pound notes to buy players....use to winning titles and cups everywhere he goes is done with the toon side club...well owner.....interestingly Jose Mourinho  "the special one" who hasn't landed a job yet since being sacked from Man United has raised his hands for the Toons job, a former assistant to Bobby Robson at Barcelona as well as I think England national team who had been the most successful toon coach and home grown boy would welcome to manage he's mentor Bobs old team....had glowing words to say about them... as coach of Both Chelsea and Man United his clubs never did really did well when playing away in Yorkshire.....There is a wall between the midlands and Yorkshire and its just so dam hard to climb over....Anyway Rafa has likend contract talks with Ashley to Brexit....

 

Its silly season in Soccer....and i just love the way clubs say they aint selling players when 90% of the time they will...so far Real Madrid have got everyone they desired except Pogo stick....Podga at 140 million pounds would mean a 59 million pound profit in 3 ys, mixed sentiments coming-out from him....juv....real...who god dam knows.....On again off now on again Greizeman looks like going to Barcelona for 107 million.....but wait....this is unheard-of...Neymar is leaving PSG and 900,000 a week to go back to Barcelona offering an apology to fan's for leaving in the first place and a pay cut to around 300,000 a week....I guess owning half of Brazil he just dont need the money any more....

Well gang

 

This round seems pretty straight forward......or does it?

 

Essendon play Marvel Stadium pretty well.

They're under pressure from everywhere.

Can they bounce back against the Giants?

 

Geelong should beat the Crows down at the Cattery.

 

West Coast have our bogey side Hawthorn at the Gee.

McGovern ruled out and looks as if there may be inclement weather

which we don't play well in.

Hawks a chance methinks.

 

Sydney should account for a tired GC at home.

 

Collingwood against the Norf could be interesting.

Collingwood not that impressive against the Dogs.

I'm thinking (hoping) this could be an upset.

 

Port to beat the Dogs at home.

Although Port do have a record of losing games they shouldn't.

 

Chooks mob the Saints against Richmond.

Richmond to get a few back but the Saints looking to bounce back.

 

Brisbane hosting Melbourne at the Gabba.

Still not sold on Melbourne being back.

They were better last week but Freo were two important

players down. 

 

Fremantle host Carlton.

Two more injuries to star players for Freo.

Have they reached a tipping point?

 

All will be revealed starting tonight.

 

All the breast fella's.
