Those little AQIS beagles are often at the International Arrivals baggage carousel nosing through everyone's stuff, but I have never seen one at a domestic terminal.   I suppose with hardly any flights coming in from overseas this year the canines are being redeployed elsewhere to keep their scent sharp.   Poor Willie.

 

Just wonder if those sniffer dogs ever end up with a drug habit........?

 

 

I use to own  Beagle........ well arriving at Hobart International airport there early in the 2000 thinking i was on the set of Casablanca International airport when retrieving my bag a lovely cute Beagle and handlers came on by the fella got on top of my bag and wasnt going anywhere.....turns out your not allowed to bring bananas with you from Melbourne....i had a few with me....had to eat a couple and turf the rest out....

Quarantine dog not a drug  trained dog.

Rioli was  not caught at the main terminal. He was flying from the small aircraft terminal to the Tiwi Islands. The police patrol this area all the time. He was a very stupid individual..

I thought getting Daniel Wells was a good move.

Although he didn't play as much as they would of liked,he pretty much showed the rest of the players how to move the ball with precision and class.

Will be interesting to see if they are still a destination club over the next 3 years,probably not with Tigers,Dees,Cats and Eagles higher up the pecking order.   

Going to have a good look at the magoo's tonight to get a gauge on GCS playing depth against the Lions.

The trouble was FJ, he was given at 3 year deal as an injury prone 32 year old on a reported $500 000 per year.

Played 15 games in 3 years.

 

Was class when he played but that move ended up being a huge bust.

The last year i agree if not contributing at training  but sometimes a player like that can redirect the ship.

That's why i think the Roos should push for Willie  Rioli if the Eagles don't want him next year to show what a bit of class can add to its forward structure and instill confidence in the young playing group.

I presume he and Brady Rawlings dealt in the past.????

Your kidding me.....with a bunch of kids you would allow a head full of sand around them? Gees you get desperate when your on the bottom of the ladder.....

 

Look at my club.....perennial <deleted> but they targeted a good defence over a number of years then Benny Brown fell into there lap...the Gods smiled apon us...what takes 5 years to build all goes south in 2 seasons....think about it....there are only a few clubs in each league that stay up and yours and mine are not one of them sir....

[AlexRRR]

Friday funnies.......on friday.....and there was some talk about normalising when the teams are announced again, this rubbish dribbling the line ups out the day of the game is just that...heard Angus Brayshaw on tuesday evening  mention this very subject and couldn't understand why it is now so when they knew monday night the ins and outs of the Demons team for Sunday, he even knew the Blues omissions....and that prodcast was recorded tuesday sometime before lunch....and Yes the Weed is in this week......"Egg"Jackson sat on his finger or something and is out....

 

Saints versa the Cats.......this is going to be one of them very bad porn movies.....where all the women have plastic pumped up boobs....i hate that.....like 5 sizes bigger than there body would allow in normal people.....i was originally thinking that the Saints are on the rebound and would cause an upset here then i realised when the Demons have an up year the Saints have a down year....so expect a thumping but its a friday night dew on the grass a bit like lube you know so Saints are likely to hang on in there for a while longer....

 

Swans on the SCG over the Pies.....this game reminds me off Debbie does Dallas....that was a classic prom movie men....when they put a weak story lines to a full length porn movie.....the football team went through the cheer leaders and so  it WILL come to pass that the Pies WILL be hammered hard by the Swans...no escaping this.....no not at all......

 

Hawks and it looks like in Tassie with North....How low can you go? i actually think North can win here.....obviously my coffee wasnt as strong as it normally is this morning....Well Hawks can look like Robin from Batman sometimes and history shows low placed teams often have enough weeties in there brekkie to power over another cripple.....so far to afraid to pick North id play safe and stay with Clarko and his men for this week.....

 

Suns to go down to the Lions.....game of the sunshine clubs....football was devised in Melbourne because of our long dark drawn out winters....and the finals were played in September which is the start of spring here...and there use to be a lot of sunshine that month....use to be....so with climate change the AFL brethren decided to allow 2 clubs from the far north in so it felt like september when we would venture forth and go play up there as spring disappeared and the problem of a lack off wont be seen again....

 

Tigers at home to the Gaints...the mini resurgence shall be put on hold this weekend....Tigers WILL be smarting from there thumping, nothing WILL get in there way as they storm the beaches like they did in Private Ryan...its on Netflix men.....not sure its worth seeing again....expecting a surgical Tiger outfit this week just before there second half of the season fade.....

 

Port vs the Dogs.....this is the dart board game....the inns of the Dogs are crucial here, without knowing you have to go for Port.....i do favour the Dogs though.....and may change selections once we know....

 

Essendon should stumble after a few good weeks.....and Freo should get up after a lack lustre few weeks....its the maths, its the jumble theory devised by Cheek and Chong, nothing makes sense when you smoke dope.....ps there isnt a strong enough deodorant to rid you of the stink of weed...walking into my nephews  place i was getting high and congested lungs.....i felt i had smoked a pack of smokes working there the other day....and i dont smoke by the way...

 

Demons vs the Blues.....well this could be a crackler if all the Blues turn up.....as we know there well placed on all lines with high draft picks, a fool would take this game lightly, i have seen two weeks where the Demons haven't been able to move the ball around freely so the first loss of the season is just moments away, im pretty sure Teague noticed how Swans nullified the centre clearances which stoped the inside 50 count......im staying true as the Defence is Number 1 in the League and MacDonald is on a roll and with Bennie Brown who ive had the pleasure to watch seen his worth has octopus arms.....longer than any human alive like he dont even have to get off the ground half the time, the Weed is back which means Gawn WILL ruck all day had a bit of a downer last week as the young Swan took it up to him WILL want to stamp his authority early....expect Big Tom to rove out towards the centre much more with the Stay at home Weed and Brown causing the damage....the Weed has been kicking a mountain of goals in the two's so im expecting an instant impact from him....

 

Eagles play the Crows at the Optus fortress.....Willie pleaded guilty for the killing off a dirty thief......"I shot the Sherrif" but he swears it was in self defence ........Crows back to being whipping boys, no one WILL tune in as we are bored.....

Well people

That's it for round 9.

 

A huge effort this week by Chooks in picking the card.

He gets the Cherry Ripes for this week.

 

No change at the top with Uncle Alex and Ozzydom leading the pack.

 

Until next week.

[ripstanley]

Excellent tipping Chook. Moving up the ladder. 

[Radar501]

Well done Chooks joining the nine club????

You have something to smile about this week......i had thought in the positive but not the  courage to tip them sir...even noted it in  my post....by the way winter hasn't started yet...

 

Well one day North could be like the Demons......hahaha honestly i dont know how were 9-0 we been winning very ugly indeed.....maybe my standards are just too high... thats a reason i might be still single too....hahaha...

 

Honestly the dribble i seen yesterday i cant put a finger on it....look i never jumped out of my chair once so thats how bad the Blues are....and i thought we played poorly, just good old fashion spoilers thats it....

 

Well it was a dead boring game so the Fox crew came up with the stats that make you sit up and look.....6 times the Demons started a season 9-0 and they won the flag that year.....i had to cringe when i seen that flash up on the screen.....For the record records are there to be set and there to be broken and there to fail to reach....after what is in 56 years of the North Smith curse do you think hes ready to say enough is enough?

 

You only had to look at Ron Barassi who makes all the home games by the way he would have been thinking like me.....a dam ugly game......

 

Anyway watching that dribble yesterday i can say we are now where near peeking yet, so we could actually improve.....and we would want to...the business end of the season starts in 4 week.....with about 6 other clubs ready to step up....

 

 

[sceadugenga]

Strange, in all the years I've been in the comp I cannot remember ever having picked the margin in the opening game before...

You're 9 zip Uncle Alex.

There's 17 other clubs who would like to be where you are.

 

Enjoy the ride????

The last time North were 9-0 the season ended badly,ran out of steam.

Not that i think the Dees will run out of steam.

It will be whether they can carry 64 years? on their back in one game against some good opposition this year.

Poor ol North,finally get a breakthru win and we lose another player in Thomas.

700 fines for striking and rough conduct he gets a week for medium impact.

Wonder what Ratten will get,low blow,high impact to face of the umps????

I Think Thomas might get off on appeal.

 

Must've been an AFL directive to try and keep the game flowing.

 

The umps just refused to pay holding the ball.

Was a dreadful round of umpiring methinks.

Never been here in my adult life.......dont know how im meant to feel....13 games to go and counting every one of them now....im to scared to say Gooooo Deeeee's.....were taking it one game at a time sir....

Just check out the way Chris crosses his legs...ho dear....and throws his hands around....they dont look like the guy out on the field i can tell ya.....Anyway Dave says his wife does it to him all the time.....

 

News is leaking out that Buckley WILL get a new contract, so Fj miss's out on anther gig.....

 

Mid season draft....really the AFL dont have a clue how to go about this.....there is a need for clubs to be able to delist players midseason, as well as offer short contracts so players are coming out mid season for it to work..........personally i dont like it much......someone like the Weed who is in his last year should be able to nominate and force the clubs hand or be able to accept a new deal else where from for next year come the half way mark of the season....works just fine in soccer so just copy it....or they can go the NFL way which im not to sure of how it works but they fire players at least in the early parts of the season bringing in new ones......which i dont like much as well....

The footy gods were smiling on us.

Now to march on and make it two in a row against the Bombers.

To do so we need to kick straight early as the Bombers have a habit of kicking goals out of their behinds at marvel.

I'm also getting an early week vibe about the Crows knocking off the Dees.Might have to get the mrs to give me a slap just before i enter my tips this week.????

Should never have suspended in the first instance.

 

How Christain has kept his job this long astounds me.

He just continually gets it wrong.

[AlexRRR]

Friday funnies on a thursday because its cold and wet in Melbourne today and i have nothing to do.....

 

WILL and Fj WILL be (and its amazing how often you can use that word WILL in a sentence hey?) crying into there Pinot Noir or a Cab Sav which was the go to drink of the long ago Ex Wendy.....bit dry for me as i prefer a Shiraz men.....Cripto Bitcoin plunged 40,000 recently so these high flying Aussie's in the land of milk and honey referring to the honey skinned women of Thailand WILL be sulking around there respective homesteads, watch out dogs.....Fj WILL likely be taking a cricket bat to the tree snakes as for WILLbert its watch out dog...

 

No news is good news....Other than the Demons are having trouble fitting in some of there key big men into the team as no one is getting injured...so you know....3 weeks out from the finals they will fall like 10 pins.....

 

Love it when jurno's have no news people want to hear...like who cares about the Israelis pounding Gaza right? or the war going on in Ethiopia....people starving nope..its all corvid who can travel who cant when that border slams shut again where Harry Kane WILL play next season etc etc....so they make up the news.....See our resident football writes here are following there American and British brothers make up a whole set of so called could be facts that sound plausible then we find out it was an enlightened moment on the gin the night before as in the case of some American who wrote about Aaron Rodgers QB for the Green Bay Packers, well as it turns out Gin has some properties that are close to god....like LSD...so in the end found out that his report was pure fabrication when quizzed on the telly over his report, because of the who hurr around Rodgers and its been ongoing the public sort of forgot that its fabricated and now see it as kinda blended in with what is real making this jurno look like he broke the news of impending doom and gloom in Green Bay....

 

Tom MacDonald for the Brownlow.........I was the only guy sticking up for him men....

 

Lions @ the Gabba against the Tigers......Well.....at this stage im going Lions but i think there both bottom 8 teams this year, like its hard to not pick Tigers right? Just like a wounded leader Hardwick is in the press on about other stuff deflecting away from the on field stuff.....yesterdays heroes almost gone, cant play 4 solid quarters anymore, its September in Brisbane friday night, the fact the Lions coach has seen his hairdresser WILL get them over the line....

 

Ho dear......Blues at the G with the Hawks.....who was more embarrassed last week? Look the Blues showed nothing last week....i was expecting them to begin to deliver this year.....The Hawks well there purely in rebuild mode, showed some curry early on now look worse that North...... I feel sorry for Frost i liked him and i could have found a spot for him in a Demon back line....or even moved him to a wing....tall and very quick....looks pretty bad in the Hawks defence.....think we should stick with the Blues here as Teague WILL point out the inside 50s and be very up and positive so its good karma marijuana and be in line for an Oscar at seasons end....

 

Pussy's @ home.....like lions at the colosseum eat the gladiators except Stewie Dews men are far from gladiators.....GC surfers drop into Geelong for a quick surf and a footy game, just on holidays.....dont expect to much....if there lucky there WILL be a few sharks at the Torque or Bells beach to liven things up as the game WILL be dead boring....so tune into to Netflix think its called Through her Eyes....limited series bit off a dark comedy with some suspense and an interracial affair...he a married Scotsman Phycologist porking his Black spunky receptionist and the unhinged wife  and its looking like the whole show is seen through the unhinged wife eyes.....mind you the other two are not exactly free of mental trauma......sounds like real life hey? One of the advantages of being single is if your mad no one else sees it....

 

Well.....Demons drop into Adelaide for a wine tasting....now this is a big danger game....Crows been travelling like like Stewie Dews men....No direction Known.....Bob Dylan and he hits 80 this year....actually been turning out some decent music in the last 20 odd years....not all just a few songs on most albums, recalled a mate was excited when he "found" old Bob played a few tracks and im like thinking your got to be kiddding me....like i never got into them folkie stuff to pooffie for me ive always been alternative you know....I did like Like a Rolling Stone, but wasnt till Slow Train that i took some notice of Bob....anyway its danger danger as Crows could turn it on and well Demons are known to faultier when there meant to clean up....Since the Demons been playing like poo this could be the upset of the round....we play man on man i worked out....so when we peel off there right on our heels....able to get some distance early in the season but there worked us out now.....oh this is not a forgone conclusion.....still expect to win and set up next week as the game of the year so far....

 

If Frawley is in the team...say no more.....Dogs to crucify the Saints......nail them to the cross......and for good measure poke a lance into there chest......Dogs are going to the GF men.......

 

Freo at home to the Swans.....ummm....how bad can they go? second year coaching blues is what i will put this down too.....Swans are one season away from a top 3 team, like to know how they keep doing it up there....

 

Gaints @ home to the Eagles....its a good time to die......like its still first half of the season, you will look like the second coming of JC and the Sunshine Band, doing your disco into September, who do i pick? This is the dart board game of the round.....we in Melbourne dont hear much about the Eagles or Gaints, Toby is out.....Cameron has found his mo jo and Hogan is back.....im putting my money on Jess and the boys to get it done...

 

Pies to be pasted all over the G walls when Port stitch them up, like theres no 91 in the tank.....i run the GTI on 98 men....it purrssssss....Buckley has them running on vegetable oil called methane E85 something like that...the gas made from rotting fruit and veggies.....wouldnt be surprised since there broke at Vic Park there sticking dog and cat poo into the grass tanks as well....what went wrong? With 3 Players taking all the bickies nothing left for morning tea, Pies WILL be irrelevant for the next 3 ys so dont you worry about a thing....

 

Well who would have thought that the crippled Bombers who were shooting themselves in the foot when Woooooshier was coach could spring to life like they have......well there history shows there never far away for long...mind you there not going to make the 8 anytime soon though should be able to take care of North who will still have a hangover and stuck somewhere in BKK with one player lost and no idea how to find him sort of thing...

 

Wish they would announce all the teams at 6 pm friday evening.....looking like more thursday games coming men.....my view is now were a big club how about more Saturday night games for the Demons....

[ripstanley]

All teams are going to be announce at 1820 Melb time as of today. I read an article stating they are returning to pre Covid team announcements.  They have a countdown on the AFL website. https://www.afl.com.au/
