A smile should be on all faces that are not a Vic......270 cornvid cases reported over night in the garden state which means the 10 or so Vic clubs WILL be playing interstate.....for a while longer....but is Radar Chooks and me winging? no we are not...we are men....MEN.....good teams win anywhere.....didnt hurt the red and blue last weekend...and shock and behold one game out of the 8 and a game in hand......making Goodwin look better than he is....

I don't think anyone would be smiling that Victoria is getting smashed by covid.

 

Whinging....FMD, you've only been there 5 minutes.

 

Anyway, back to the footy.

I reckon it's anyone's GF this year.

Just have to be peaking at the right time.

 

Port in good nick but I still don't trust them.

GWS should be better but have a dud coach so they're unknown.

Essendon 4-1 with a game in hand are as well placed as anybody.

Richmond are down on form and injuries but count them out at your peril.

Geelong probably slipped under the radar.

Not sure about Brisbane away from the Gabba.

Collingwood are looking good again but have 2 tough games coming up.

Not sure what to make of the Saints. Reckon they could be Marvel stadium

specialists like the Bulldogs.

Carlton surprised most but can they sustain it.

Gold Coast much improved but don't think they will play finals.

WC still in ordinary form. I'm not sure if playing at home will make them that much better.

Hawks have had a tough draw and are 3-3 so not as bad as everyone thinks.

I think Freo will upset a few at home.

Norf have fallen off a cliff

Sorry Uncle Alex, cannot see Melbourne making finals.

Shows what type of coach Goodwin is when he finally brings in Bennell and Weidermen,

Melbourne are a lot better.

Sydney have been decimated by injury and

Ade....nuff said.

For sure Dee's wont do anything, i was thinking Pies as my favorits for the GF but since they got done a couple of times its like TV fanatsy, you only have to be in the finals....its wide open, string a few games together and you can take the flag home....

 

It would seem that break a clubs routine has them in jeopardy....once the thinking was certian players needed the routine a la Bennie Cousins and a few more like him, intresting and it shows in fantasy scores everyone is all over the place....maybe 7 or 8 players are turning up every week, training may have been a part of it but were at week 7 now....thats 5 straight weeks plus some under the belt......

 

You can expect the Eagles to warrior on from now id say there pretty much be playing home for the rest of the season....as with Freo who could sneak into the 8 just on home ground, my motto is good teams win anywhere but in the corvid days its which team settles quicker...

 

Sydney is recording corvid cases too, and im not suprised were piliing up the numbers testing for it is now rampant, cars are queing in drive throughs ive noticed driving home from work... I have mask in the work car and one in my VW in case i find myself in a crowd other wise i just avoid people like i been doing all my life....hehehe...

 

By the way.....isnt it strange how the western world is piling up corvid infections when one of the heaviest asian travel destination nation on earth no names here fellas but quite a few TV members live there has hardly any cases.....strange that....id put it down to culture right across the region, they just dont want be looking bad hey.....

Woah!

 

A huge leg up for Qld and WA sides.

Gerard: "The hub in Perth will continue as scheduled. There's a very real chance that Brisbane and Gold Coast don't leave Queensland for the rest of the year. There's a very real chance the WA teams don't leave Perth for the rest of the year."

[sceadugenga]

The AFL have all but conceded the Grand Final won’t be played in Victoria and it will probably go to Queensland. 
After all, we wouldn’t want it in traditional footy states like SA or WA would we?

Totally unfair advantage to the local teams if they make it. ????

Ok old WILL and young Rip.....and other Thai based Ozzies.......polish up the monitors as your got a top game on tonight....pussys and pies....oh yes....rush down the local 7/11 and get your prawn and seaweed crackers ready for the big event over in WA....Me i always struggled after about a month ( thats when i seem to get the crunches happing ) in Thai trying to get my hands on a packet of crisps i could eat....very challenging indeed..... Them Thais do have  weird taste buds....do you notice how most foods has to have some sort of sauce or condiment on it? They look at me strange when i say no thanks....Filipinos are worse....dont know how poor old Fj can stay over there so long.....im still not over the pink sauce that killed my up market hamburger stone cold dead one evening in Palawan.....

 

Well 317 cases of that canvirus over night....Andy recons they tested 29,000 yesterday...and 1 million from the start of it in the State of CoVidVictoria....It would be good that the at least Demons loved it so much up there in Queensland that they decided to relocate and stay there....sending the lions to the G, swaping jumpers and names and coaches...yes it would be good.....

 

Anyway my trip to the supermarket this moring at around 10 am was very good....many Victorians are taking to wearing  mask which saves me the trouble of pulling mine out......and of course all super markets and many other business now have wacked up big perspect screens around self checkout and checkout to barrier out germs going both ways...i feel real safe now....Also was too early for them Indians to be out....we got our fair share of Arabs around here too...though i didnt venture into the "common" area where they tend to hang out....

 

One of my Thai friends is trying to tell me they only have just over 3000 coronavirus cases in Thailand....pure fanatsy, belives in snow white too.....when i tried to point out the fact that most of the world has a big problem yet Thai next to none when they get the most Chinese tourists of any is a bit of  day dream......yet they promote the goverment line........You know im glad i decided against retireing there....

 

Pussys and pies.......when you expect that cats to be on song they let you down....

 

Bombers and dogs....who will turn up? Bombers are ready for a hick up....

 

Gaints and lions.....can they win away from home?

 

Swans and suns....ho dear.......there not that good...yet....and is it time for Swans to stand up again?

 

Tigers n shinneboners......is it time to turn the corner? Whers the metal of the Shaw family....im sure old Ray has been into the nephew's ears....after all he broke the Tonners premiership drought so knows a thing or two.....

 

Blues and power....yep Port are still up on the holiday coast....suites them very well......the heat might get to the blues.......and this arvo i decided to watch Newcastle play Spurs at home when the commentators were carrying on about the gloroius summer weather, i thought them lucky buggers....then the tempreture was flashed on the screen....early evening in Newcastle and it was 16 degrees......

 

In the match of the round Hawks over Goodwins follies....to say its a must win for both of these clowns is an understatement.....a loss to either then its a full on embarrassment to Clarkson and Simon.....we already know that its curtins for both sides already....

 

Freo and the eagles.....well i know that freo just cant cut it against this mob and have opted in accordince...

 

Crows and saints.....what better way to redem yourself than play the crows....on monday though and in the city of churches.....this could upset an already topsy turvey season....this could be the break through the poor old crows need....but then again.....Marks mouth gaged and stuck down with super glue could do the trick...

Thank you but i wasnt bragging....i was sooo happy to pick my first Thus night win.....and i was looking ok with the Bombers last night then it soured and i went to bed start of the last quarter....yes i know it was early but i had a headache a prelude to a virus im sure, normal quick to pop a pill i thought noooooo i will sleep like a baby and i did...

 

428 corvid cases upgraded to 438 for friday in the CoVidVictoria.....press are calling for stage 4 what ever that it is.....dont ya love it ...the press.....some one should put a muzzle on them....one of the reasons all dictators generally suppress them....just pure out right troublemakers....50,000 covid cases in Florida USA over night one night last week and here there calling for lockdown just on 400......Andy has downplayed that so far, looks like hes put a bit of weight around the tummy too and looking a little untidy as well....

 

 Only Rip and Fj picked the Scrays last night......well done Rip.....as for Fj that pink sauce on his burgers must be working a treat for him over there....

 

This laptop is up to its old tricks....an entire paragraph wiped out......obviously early in the morning.....no coffee yet.....something to do with the bottom keys here....ummm ive touched a few.......ummm nothing,.....i give up....

 

This is a good opportunity to banish the MFC to the far north....nomads they can become and wander the tropical north for the next 40 years....meanwhile the long saga of the Newcastle United take over 3 months in the making and a normal 3 week affair is still on going....reports that a deal had been made for this friday has past and went....the politicians are getting involved now....you would think after all this time its in the bag, they the EPL are giving the Prince every chance to fix it up back in SA and the biggest hurdle one though had been the pirate station operating in Saudi......i would think the nod WILL come very soon as the season proper is almost over...well you would think right?

 

Meanwhile Garth Bale wont be going anywhere, 640,000 $AU a week deal WILL make sure of that....Real won there league this week, he wont leave for less to spite Zindine....the press has conjured up a war between the two, contracted to 2022 and the highest paid player in the 25, he dont make the team anymore....would have got a million a week in China had they let him go on a free transfer meant Real could have saved itself around 40 million this year....obviously not good in economics over there....Garth has been haming it up with several signs that state Wales (hes the team captain) Golf, Madrid in that order....infuriating the Madrid press......and seen taking an imaginary golf swing in team photos.....such is his humour...and laughing all the way to the bank.....Id like to know why Zindine is so vindictive, like Garth helped  him win a few Champions league trophies.......you do re call Zindine spat the dummy once like a little boy when an Italian defender enforcer dropped him on his back side in a world cup game, Zindine's image took a reverse there for a while.....Paul Pogostick WILL be hanging around at MU for a while longer too....no one can afford him, quite as a lamb most of the season with an injury, earning half the GPD of the Aussie continent if Real cant off load Garth they cant afford Paul.....and no MU wont swap Olie is on a youth drive........

Just temporary there my fellow Vic......it is strange not seeing you in my position isnt it?

 

At least i dont pick my team every week no matter what......After having to pay for reserved seats at your ground and seeing mine vanish...poof up in smoke i turned mercenary, a vocal critic and a jolly good fellow too.....

Those who assess data, follow form and listen to the pundits before selecting are struggling this year.

If ever a season was tailored for the pin and blindfold tipsters this is it.

You will be bleating like a sheep and carrying on if the GF is not held in Victoria. ????

For non Victorian supporters, playing outside Victoria is business as usual... ????

Sydney V Gold Coast game wasn't too bad.  A lot of free and fast moving play coupled with high pressure. 

Sydney were never really a chance. It was good to have McCartin back up forward and Callum Sinclair was also back in. Aliir Aliir was also moved up forward, an interesting move given he had kicked 2 goals in his previous 50 games.  He kicked 2 goals but his impact was minimal. He looked like he was playing out of position and not entirely sure what his role was.

Nick Blakely continues his run of very average form. This game was a chance for him to perform given the free flowing nature but he couldn't click.

 

Sydney was without Kennedy and Heeney form last week, and losing two of your best players showed. 

 

Elijiah Taylor had his debut wearing Number 37, Adam Goodes number - apparently Taylor requested the number.

Swans were also sporting a number of inexperienced players in Chad Warner , Stoddart, Stephens. 

 

Papley remains as Sydney's dominant forward, perhaps the smallest forward to be leading the Coleman medal race.

 

Good to see Sydney mixing up the role a little and getting some more games into the youngsters. Style of play was better to watch and followed how the Gold Coast was also playing.

Gold Coast look like they are building a solid force for the next few years and will be good to watch

For non Victorian

Well actually here i promote Vic everything but in private im a fair man.....if you live long enough you go through some changes and thats a song, i would thing that the G is set up in such a way it pretty much covers all bases when it comes to big events, as you know of the 99,000 the G holds now of the crowed that goes to the GF 79,000 are connected hangers on, beautiful people and corporate slugs who get the tickets clubs get to share 20% of the tickets....so the problem in a 60,000 stadium is already apparent.

 

Think the only stadium in the land with a capacity similar to the G is that one in Sydney and its the one i went to too see the Asians champions final AU vs Sth K, pretty sure they squeezed in around 85,000 that night there...and a way better system to get the crowed to and from....

 

Even in my wildest dreams that the Demons would get in another GF i wont be going, i will be to old.....and invalid, locked out cause i am no longer a member and you will need to be a big time member to get a ticket to a GF anyway an d most probably dead .....and these days i prefer to watch it on the 65inch telly.......so as a mercenary and full time critic and jolly good fella i dont really care, the last ticket i payed for anything would have been about 5 ys ago i think and that was around 175$ to see Santana and im not doing that again....im now a hermit thanks to the corvid-19 and i like it.....i do my shopping on aliexpress and go to supermarket early to avoid the germs carrying crowed....

 

I WILL vote in favour of moving the GF to appease the TV non Vic Members but as anonymous ok? Fat chance it will help......Gill wont listen to me, nor did the MFC when i voted with my feet and stoped  buying a membership.....sure they called me up a few years in a row....they didnt want any feed back over me being peed off about my seat disappearing an d to get it back i would have to slug up $100 a year and thats back in the early 90's so heaven forbid what it would cost now.....

 

I have moved on....i like to watch Leeds and Newcastle United, Washington, Buffalo Bills, NE Patriots and a couple of others....i now am a glued to the lounger spots nut....ho i watched some netflix last night........that spencer film.....not bad...in fact it was good...not great.....kept me amused.....did try to watch the Da Bloods or something.....<deleted> bullocks poo and gees what a waste of film....4 ex afro american viet war soldiers.....turned it off at around 15 mintmark .......trying to give it a chance....about the only bit i liked was the 4 brothers shuffling to some soul funk in that Saigon bar the dude with the hat had a good body groove.......

After watching GWS fall over again yesterday, think it's time for a change of coach.

Leon Cameron out of contract at the end of the year.

 

I would be approaching Ross Lyon and John Worsfold in that order methinks.

no no no...hands off Ross.....we have him penciled in....

[Will27]

I saw a post during the week that made me giggle.

 

After getting beating by the Dockers last week, a Saint Kilda supporter posted

"When I die, I was SK players to be my pallbearers so they can let me down for one last time"

[Will27]

What a cracking first quarter between Carlton and Port.

Best game of the year so far I reckon.

Ross is past his prime... Coaching role isn't for him

 

Clarko is headed to GWS if anyone goes

 

I wouldn't be surprised to see GWS re-sign Cameron. They have shown faith in him thus far despite his chronic underachievement

He would have GWS dominating I think.

Some Massive news coming out of the game too

Looks like Melbourne stuffed up an interchange and had 19 players on the field for about 20 seconds
Could be a loss of the 4 points!
