If they had paid me a win for the missed tip in the first game I'd be a seven but apparently the fine print nailed me.

Som nam nar....

Forgot To Tip

 

• Q: WHAT HAPPENS IF I FORGET TO TIP?

  A: If you forget to tip you will be awarded the away teams for the games you missed, however you will only receive up to a maximum of 5 correct tips. If you forget to tip in the Gauntlet Competition, you will be eliminated from the Gauntlet Competition.

   

   

You were robbed mate

 

Don't forget for tomorrow.

[sceadugenga]

Thanks mate, I would have.

I'm definitely getting softening of the brain.

I did the lot.

Both selected WB and had a margin of 13. That means they did not select a margin. When no selection you are given the away team with a 0 margin.

Yesterday i thought my fingers were going to fall off....coldest day in 24 ys....got to 9 from a start of 3 degrees.....i need a gf in asia somewhere to escape....and i ended up getting a bit wet during the hail storm too....didnt help but i did just zoom through my job and got home early....

 

Dont ya love Melbourne.....rain all over in just under 5 min.....

 

Simon comes out in support of the blow torch that el presidente gave, and then pretty much starts talking about big Tom Mac.....i believe Tom has a mouth and uses it, prob why he never even made vice captain there, Tom's form has been somewhat like a spluttering Trabant one of them cardboard East German cars from the cold war.... meant to be there savour but ends up being the laughing joke of the world....there are some here i seen once.....interesting car.....there still making something like them in Russia i hear but my Russian friend brought a French branded car instead.....went on about quality....something that Tom seems to have dropped....the quality....well Tom was a dreadful centre half back....i loathed him in defence....but being young then you know they tend to get better....well Tom never got better...a solid defender for like 3./4 of a game then you know give em 2 goals...it quite normal of Tom to do that....Oscar his brother said as a junior Tom was a very good forward so the switch came...well after half a season the guy is lost at sea....So Simon says Tom is dropped for tonights game....he has been dreadful for too long......The recruiting has been uninspiring as well....so there seems to be a problem starting from end of the season we played finals till now....apart from May the mercenaries since leave a lot to be desired, Leaver, Tomlinson and Langden .....well....um underwhelmed.....there done better in the draft.....I guess they must have got tips from the Hawks.....about that.........I say it again.......go to the draft forget these hacks from other clubs.....we now have about 6 one third of the on ground team is from somewhere else....were starting to look like the Hawks now just different colours....expect they come up for some good wins from time to time.....

 

Tom WILL be off to Sydney for next year....Simon WILL get chopped and end up as an assistant at the Eagles, Paul Ross will depose Bartlet as President, and Ross Lyon WILL take over the coaching role for 3 years and groom another to take over.....Meanwhile i still think old Norm should be dug up and taken to Haiti to get that curse removed.....

The game or those deodorant adverts where the guy's are sniffing each other's armpits.

Been a bit busy the last week so haven't been keeping up to date with things AFL...

 

Here is a thought to ponder ...

 

WLD just announced it was closing the border to anyone from NSW and QLD people returning home wold have to isolate for 14 days at their own expense.

 

What happens to the AFL boffins and heavy hitters who want to visit Brisbane for the Grand final?   

 

Eddie locked out out , Smiling Gil to get special dispensation?

Well with the impending economic doom not many are going to be able to afford a 2 week vacation on the GC this year...so its a bundle of free tickets and raffles the AFL WILL giveth to NRL...and they WILL put it down to advtising and write it off in corprate tax expense for next year ....

Greater Western Sydney has guaranteed senior coach Leon Cameron a minimum two-year contract extension on the back of the coronavirus crisis. The Giants have assured Cameron he will continue to lead the club until at least 2022 although the specific terms cannot be ticked off until the AFL's contract freeze ends

 

I just caught up with this news.  I know @Will27 is a supporter of Leon but i can't see why they would extend the contract at this stage

Was on the cards when the CEO already said they made a verbal agreement.

 

Another 2 years of disappointment I guess.

 

Oh well, it probably means Ross Lyon goes to Melbourne then

[Will27]

 Watching Richmond dismantle Brisbane last night, and with all of the finals likely to be played in Qld, unfortunately I think it's going to be Richmond's premiership to lose.

Yes well.......like they made hard work of it for 3/4 didnt they?

 

I just seen more of the same, an other team would have punished us, Salem twice hand balled to a Crow, Leaver a NO FACTOR, to me most were just going through motions, no leadership from Gawn, Viney and Oliver lead they way, Weed and Jackson keep showing something, i liked that Sparrow was in the team and thats it.

 

That game shows that North should do us next week...

 

There isnt much run, no fanning out, slow to move the ball often, Hifernated guy who did the sling tackle one kick, next to useless, he is a mid forward but never gets a run on the ball, Harmes stuck in defence again, Brawshaw spent almost the entire first half on the bench.

 

Look i just dont see it as not having enough good cattle on the park, and for the first time i seen something different, Gawn was taken out of the ruck though where he was a few times i do not know though one time i did spot on him the bench, Simon rally makes moves or mix's it up, to me watching the team play most look dispirited, thats what i see, there are no good ideas in there playbook, they tend to play man on man well thats how it looks.

 

We are 3-5 now but it feels like 1-7 maybe im mistaken since they started paying these breath on me free kicks the games seems to have deteriorated as a spectacle, i liked it before when they were hard at it in dire scrums fighting for the ball....

Jeez Uncle Grumps, you guys got a win, celebrate it!

Sydney in the mood for an upset against Collingwood tonight

 

Sydney have dropped 4 players
Sam Gray
Ryan Clarke
Lewis taylor

Nick Blakely

 

Gray (port) , Clarke (Norf) and Taylor (Brissie) were all pick ups that other clubs couldn't wait to offload and Sydney found they were the only players they could get to come to Sydney.

Performing so well and providing so much experience that they have all been dropped!

Blakey, the new messiah , touted to win a triple Brownlow into the future , has also gone due to his failing eyesight , which has led to him not being able to find the ball during a game, or when it falls into hi shands, he cannot see where the goal posts are.

 

This has opened up the gates once more for some youngsters with Sam Wicks making his debut (small forward who also plays mid) , and Jackson Thurlow and Dylan Stephens coming back in , As well as backman Melican.

Big Johny Horse C*ck has thrown away his play style bible of the last decade and gone for a more free flowing, play the corridor, play on quickly, avoid the long kicks to the boundary style of play. When St Kilda broke free last week Big JOhnny kept the game plan and refused to throw 12 player behind the ball.
Swans supporters are hoping to see more of this style this week. Losses are okay if the young fellas get some game times and learn a style of play that supporters want to watch.

 

Swans to win by 12

I'm not sure which teams i picked last week and i equally can't remember who played who  but the tipping results indicate they weren't good tips ????

Still, Sydney in an upset
