  Tuesday tips, Adelaide and the Swans.  The Swans are playing Carlton tomorrow.

 

PS  I have had a couple of Leo's

Adelaide are always dangerous at the end of a bad season, I've seen them spoil a few better sides finals campaigns.

That doesn't mean I'll pick them though.... or will I?

To keep Goodwin beyond this year WILL put us back 3 to 5 years do they risk it? Remember we have no first or second round draft picks this year, they sold there soul to the devil last year.....

 

 

Have to agree with you Uncle.

Another year or two of Goody and Melbourne has wasted the talent and opportunity of this team and it put you guys back another 5 years

Nothing wrong with a bit of gloat-banter from the current leader and I applaud you for it

 

I'd say you are unbeatable at this stage of the Comp , so take some chances

Not too bad thanks mate.

I asked for elephants balls on toast and they said they were out of bread.

 

Wasn't a Port shirt in sight.

I think he's saving it for the finals.

 

Edit: Did you stop at a couple of Leo's?

Well them little kids in Barcelona are fine for one more year, Messi wont test his contract in court, not so sure its a wise move on either side anway if im bottom of an AFL tipping contest i dont know to much....

 

Yep another book on Trump and his presidency https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-54060687

surely WILL go down as one of the most despised politicians ever... the trouble is them simple voting Americans cant read.....ahhhh you say there all middle managers and movie stars over there.......living the dolca vida.....well men...when i went to that ice hockey game in LA that i payed a small fortune for a seat positioned in one of the stadium roof trusses i had the pleasure of seeing the crowed.......im a people watcher....and i was alarmed.......like the most scariest time for me wasnt a dirty big machine gun pointed at my head at 3 am in a country at the tail end of a civil war....no it was Poi Pet in Cambodia just over the border middle of the day....seriously it looked like a bombed out city with a couple of dozen down outs ex khmer rouge over the pot holed road staring at a farang with his movie camera hanging over his shoulder all eyes were on me........i couldnt get out of there fast enough....didnt even debate a taxi fare to Siem Reep....then the next scariest time was in front of that LA stadium.....my god the look of them spectators......when you see them up close and in person that machine gun is nothing....I would have hated to get caught wandering the back streets of LA....and i was warned by my hotel reception.....once in Manila in the evening i did take a peek into the back streets, well my AIR BnB was in a decent area but gees.....the deeper in the more nervous i got....and when your flying in to Manila...you get a close up birds eye view of the slums.....and like the plane is landing men......and landing....and landing....and theres no end to the slums....Anyway Trump's ex lawyer has a low opinion of el presidente....

 

Well its on again......Garth Bale.....his amusing tale of life in Madrid.....Real Manager Zindane thinks Man United are intrested in Garth, and they could be but for a couple of sticking points.....one his age and second his salary, MU have only been targerting hot young first team players Ole has mentor Alex Fergerson in his corner pulling the strings for the manager....showing him how its done.....MU would only pay half of Bales salary if they could get him and as for a transfer fee Real have run there golden goose into the ground by not giving him game time so is efectivly near worthless.....so there at polar opposites.....There WILL be a movie about this in the near future.....antics of a bored superstar sitting in the stands payed a kings ransome to sit there week in week out rolling up newspapers to use as a telescope to watch games.....Wales Golf Madrid......

 

Just seen Aston Villa want to pay Liverpool 20 million pounds for a one Rhian Brewster, that name rang a bell....hey im manageing Swansea in the Championship in FM20 and i have him on loan.....and hes a good player....i normaly dont like to play more than 1 loan in my team Swansea have 4 or 5, why? would rather try and give some youth players and young fringe a chance to inprove thats why, anyway i should try and buy him end of year if the club will give me a transfer budget.....hes worth around 2 million start of 2019....well i had 16 million transfer budget that came in late and within 2 weeks just as i was organising buying my first player Vamouse gone....baby gone....all my money gone....had to go to the youth department for some new blood.....im not a bad coach, were sitting 11th and i WILL only play my other loan players if a gun is pointed to my head.....

 

Hey...whats amazing?.....new tech....the resealable bag.....thats amazing....not that any you guys over there ever get to see one.....everything comes in a jar or foil or plastic bag there....if your woman is cooking dont you worry about all the chemicals there putting into your blood stream>?

 

My experiance with Thai women is they cant cook....and the couple of attepts a couple made was...i couldnt eat that...to be fair they were all professioanl women so you know how it goes.....they can only go to work.....move mum in or never leave home so they have a full time maid at home....the ones that lived out of home and alone always ate out, one sent her laundry out at least once a week, she got excited to see them all back clean and wraped up in millions of miles of plastic...clean and tidy you think? ha, the last one couldnt push a broom....she didnt even know whch end was the part to put on the floor....she was very good at folding clothes though.....she could put more stuff in a suite case than any living man or woman...she was famous for it so much so when little sister visited from Brisbane she would go mad shopping then ask big sister to pack her bags for her....true...Another i would crash at her condo a couple of times a week use to have a wall of boxes stacked up against the wall....i fear she was a hoarder.....she was trying to tell me that was all her school stuff....yeah....i belive....she was studying sure.....but 4m by 2m high stack of boxes full of what? You want to have seen her bathroom....now she wasnt like the others id known for personal grooming but gees there wasnt any place that had a fre spot in her bathroom....just the dunnie seat was free....to be fair you could out stretch your hands and touch the walls from the centre facing any direction....and her balcony....yes small but gees you could only stand in one spot....when she arried in AU to spend some time with me....the family fridge was quickly filled with white plastic bags....she had this habit of just taking over where ever she was.....

 

These women do there best work on there backs.....call them on a vid call....there laying down......And its no wonder there a calm people....doubt any would get blood pressure problems.....

Great tipping by our Rip to pick the Crows.

 

The Sydney/Carlton game going down to the wire.

 

Uncle Alex, with GWS losing, you're a sneaky chance for finals mate

[sceadugenga]

We can only in hope....

[BookmanBkk]

Well the Sydney boys looked to be heading to a 100 point win halfway through the second quarter.  Leading by 40 points, Carlton yet to kick a goal...
Carlton was going forward okay, having more inside 50s than Sydney even at 40 points behind.  And it was around that 40 point lead mark that Sydney took their foot off the pedal and Carlton came back with 4 straight goals before half time..
Sydney managed 1.2 after half time and couldn't get it out of the backline or win the clearances .  

Carlton finished the game with 50% more inside 50s and deserved the win more than Sydney in the end

 

Notable performances
Jordan Dawson
Jake Lloyd
Melican
Florent 
McCartin

Mcinerney

 

Sam Butterfingers Reid.... He is at his peak right now and his peak is below average

 

Defense was good... the boys coming together down back
Midfield needed to step up and add some pressure in the second half. Kennedy hasn't been the same since he returned From injury and the season close and a rest will be welcome.

Papley might be heading down to Carlton by the way he has played the last few weeks

[BookmanBkk]

GWS....
How low can they sink?

Not sure what it will take at GWS board level to get the message that Leon Cameron isnt the man for the job.

Would love to see some of the GWS boys move over to the Swans.  An embarrassment of riches there

They went in with heaps of talls but didn't utilize them well.

Time to offload Jeremy Cameron to the Kangaroos????

As i struggle with what holding the ball means now i have become interested in how many players actually pull there socks up,not many.

I've only noticed about 6 this round.

I used to enjoy a Simon Beazley or Warren Ralph pulling their socks up before kicking a goal.(looking like a footballer)

These days you get 30 seconds to cover your mouthguard in pubic hair or sock stench then stick it straight back in your mouth.

What is wrong with people today lol. 

Well Alex and Radar,heads up i'm on the GCS bandwagon tonight.????

 

[Will27]

Oh dear

 

Have any of you guy's got your boots?

Sheed, Redden, Shuey, Yeo and Hutchings is our entire midfield from last year.

I'm glad we recruited Kelly

 

@WestCoastEagles

“We’re going to make six changes. Five of those are forced changes. Dom Sheed has a slight hammy, so he is unavailable. Ah Chee is not available, he has a finger injury. Redden, Hutchings, Jetta are out. And Hickey makes way for Naitanui.” Simpson on team changes

[Will27]

Commiserations to the Sydney boys, but our radar will be pumped after last night's win I'd imagine.

Well Men the JW Black has done its trick.....Screw GWS falling over Cameron goodbye....means them dead <deleted>s think they got a chance....im sooooooooo over them next year im following the ummm i havent worked that out yet,,,,

 

IN fact i have taken up kicking the dog.....well thats not true i wouldnt kick him.....though i dont tolerate pee inside.....its been a painful season some people are blessed like WILL following teams that come up....

 

I for now WILL no more coment on that red and blue rabble.....its either change coach or change the players....not sure we have anything right there...... since im near bottom of tipping my input carrys no weight .....simply red pumping in the head phones.......wow 12.49 am in Melbourne...."New Flame" omen? 

 

Some say the pandemic has thrown normality out the window.....im talking footy here maybe 10% we allways get a roughie which is Port this year, Koch might jump up and down i dout he has any real weight, Port know how to win they moved up a few notches into the big time...and at the time the idea was ummmm well.....well they have people around the club that know how to win, they might not get to dominate the AFL like they did in the SAFL they do know how its done....and what happend to Watts? poor guy.....blond glamour boy.....one thing...not many have left my club and done well somewhere else....thanks recruiters..... in another life we would say <deleted> you.....

 

One thing about the Crows and WCE there run by there respective leagues let me know if thats  changed which means more brain power in the joint.......this puts most of the Vic clubs at a disadvantage, we might have been the owners of the golden egg  in time the pendulum shifts....

 

Well Baker Mayfield is about to either show up or go under.....next week......and in the same week...Bruce my save Mike Ashley's backside thank god for a world of sport.....
