AFL round 15 the business end of the season is starting....a little early but tomorrow i want to be out side.....so what have we learned so far? Port are hot and if Demons dont win it i hope Port do, Lions...hehehe well there ok, Gaints and Tigers on the up Blues bounce back and Freo back in there hole....  

 

Thursday night in Catland vs Demons, well once we would be shaking at the knees but not now, apart from the 1980 Tigers dont think there's been a worse follow up to a GF win, well we were pretty ordinary last year....You know i wouldn't get to excited that we knocked off the Pies like they were due big time to loose and of course we needed to step up, assuming the Demons are serious and zooming back into contention its a bucket of water over the Cats....wet cats are not pretty......there gone baby gone for this year, while Demons could now be ready to turn the corner chugging along like a worn out steam train with finals in sight the locomotive is being replaced by maybe a bullet train......how they do the Cats will say if its a second hand one from 1995 or a brand newie made this year...

 

Saints vs Lions.....yeah well......nice jumper by the way Chooks...almost last week....Think the Lions will polish up this week, Pelican if he could kick straight might be the factor since hes not much good for anything else....Both will play finals....both yet to show they could actually be there GF day...

 

Swans vs Eagles.....well not a good time for Swans to get back on track hey Billy? Eagles are due for a win....but not this week.....Wooden spoon for you Billy no finals for Swans...

 

Freo vs Bombers Im inclined to think that Windy hill crowed is better, surprised to see them in the 8 actually, i guess they will play finals this year while Freo........i did say they wouldnt......

 

Pies vs Crows, expecting the Pies to stich up the Sth Aussies here, they might make a go of it and i can tell ya if you wear them like your girl friend wears her trackie dakki they might be able to get over them, Pies do hear footsteps, they arnt up to close checking footy, goooo Rinnie....Pies Will play finals for sure....Crows if they do this mob are in with a big chance...

 

Suns vs Hawks.....danger danger Stewie Dew,......im still banking on a late surge from the Suns....but if they get done this round there pretty much fodder for everyone else... not looking good for either to play finals this year even though i tiped the Suns too.....

 

Hey i ran out of teams....its still a bye time......since its review time.......here we go.....

 

Blues? not enough at anything, would have to do better than lazurath to play finals....and he rise up from being dead...

 

GWS...its a late mid seson hurrah....good on them and could shake the tree but there not going to figure....

 

North.....forget it....dont even think about it for the next 5 ys....and the big question is when will Clarkson get over it? god dam pussy....

 

Port, yes there in with a super chance, love to see Hinkley sock it to whats his name and sign for a new club in August for next year...

 

Tigers....nice little run...can they do it? ummm.....they might not need to look for a new coach....

 

Bulldogs....same old same old, same same but not different.....not sure what they need...there in the 8....suprise suprise....well no one takes much notice below who is 4th right unl;ess its your team battling away......

That is some Aussie beer in si sa ket I found in of all places…..don’t get me going Fj, I checked up on B Brown after getting done rolled peed on by them cripples on crutches, he’s looks like he’s been out this week first game 2.1 decent stats too….Cameron went off at the 15 min mark…. I’ve had trouble sleeping last 2 nights…. I’m livid, imagin poor will after todays result, hey billy you only got 31 goals kicked on you we had 36 and I had a 1 hr drive home to spew on it… not to mention the hard cash I handed over….

 

if there’s a team that knows how to NOT turn up….how to torment it’s supporters for 50 ys….the DNA is arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

Anyway it’s obvious isn’t it? Plus them 2 loafers well all them small forwards…. Picket just got a new deal so he can rest fir a couple of years….

 

I know we don’t turn up after a by but this was a give me, for free all wrapped up handed to you on a solid gold plate by a dozed bikini clad Thai honeys. 
 

 

[Will27]

Well Peeps

That's it for another round.

 

I managed to take home the Aero bars this week.

I think it's my first win of the year.

 

Until next time.

Nice work Will picking the card.

And running away like Rob DeCastella into the distance.

 

 

[AlexRRR]

Young Will's head would be still spinning....Eagles have stopped short on saying if Madam Gulittine is making an aperance anytime soon....

 

Well Willie, Big karl didnt get the sack for getting us crushed by 36 to 8 goals and we were beaten by the Lions who were 3rd and running hot at the time...(Swans back in full swing and last year GFinalsit) we around 10th in a 12 team divison league the following week we came up against the Bombers who were sitting 5th and thought there poo dont stink...Walters kicked 6 straight in the first quarter even before they opened there account, finnished with 7 for the day, holding that margin untill the end of the game...so i would be expecting to see the Eagles roll the Saints next week and your at home...i will be picking Eagles next week.... gooooo Rinnieeeee

Had to look it up, wish he put that into the Demons.....well he mentioned the Voice so well yeah...think he is part Koorie, dont start me on that one.....i go for the we are all the same under the sun thingo, from the little i read on that i cant see how its going to change anything but the budget, more freeloaders and meetings to get paid for with little to no inprovments they could have just put the energy into fixing up whats already in place dont you think? Anyway i have little intrest and i wont be voting good luck for them to fine me from there........i didnt vote either...

 

They kicked Barry out Fj, so theres an extra trophy to give out...

 

Anyway Fj if you didint watch you wouldnt have got pissed off....and untill you mentioned it i was oblivious to it as the only thing that intrests me is trade week which is 2 and the actual on ground stuff...everything else is a yawn....

A common misconception about Choco is that he's Aboriginal.

He isn't.

Has some Jamaican blood on his fathers side I think.

 

IMO, the Hall of Fame isn't the right platform for politics.

[farmerjo]

Yes sorry for the rant gents,had only had 2 beers when i wrote it so it did hit a nerve.

Back to the footy????

Tips of the week,get an eye on GCS, Dockers and Hawks.????

Wikipedia amongst many others, disagees. 

 

"His father, Edward, born in England, died when Cable was six and he was raised by his indigenous mother, Dorothy a member of the Noongar people of south-west Western Australia."

 

AFL had him in Indigenous Team of the Centrury......for how long though.

 

Certainly Barry always acknowledged and claimed his aboriginality through his mother, Dorothy, on may occasions, over years.

Geelong have spanked the Swans in last 2 encounters,will wait on the team lists for that one.

 

On a side note ashes on this arvo.

[Will27]

Jeez Damien Barrett is a flog.

Carey has a terrible rap sheet.

AND THIS ONE'S FOR THE AFL

IF ...

Barry Cable was rightly removed as a legend of the Australian Football Hall Of Fame this week ...

THEN ...

next year, there’s surely space for two more. Dunstall? Carey?

[Will27]

Well gent's

 

That's if for another round.

Four picked 8 with the Coconut Roughs going to Rip by virtue of the margin.

 

Until next week.

Well men them cripples on crutches didnt win which makes us look even worse, anyway i decided i cant justify spending $200 on watching a never ending Indian Bollywood soapie on AFL watch anymore...at lest they have a happy ending after 3 hrs, i get to endure 50 ys of.........

 

Got the work around this morning in my head....since i want to watch NFL again i need to well would be prudent to drop something else...so bye bye AFL, i can watch on Bingsport quality is a little less but then my team always offer me a little less ....no catch up but who wants to watch them later anyway? and only $100 plus i get to see Spurs and Newcastle and some really decent teams from Europe....

 

Wonder if Pert has been in the ear of Hardwick? gees something has to change...pretty boys dont like to get there hair wet hey?

 

Ive actualy grown to like Simon the way he talks and says a lot about nothing...but like most coaches and Neil Danahier was another they wont for the life of Allah drop there favourites...and Simon has a few...

 

What a horrible game, was like watching two bottom of the table VFL teams at it, surly the AFL can come up with something better? The experince of playin in a paddock is off putting, gees they make Tassie build a new staduim and allow the brothers to offer up that Alice Springs Paddock...

 

I say no to anymore games in the outback.......or at least till they build something that is an AFL standard staduim...

It certainly was trying conditions Alex.

In a nutshell if your going to play an extra behind the ball put him on the goal line.

It did take the smarts of Kelly to win it,not many others on the ground could of done that.

 

The Bombers heartbreak ranks above yours????

AIS just informed me i  gained 19 new points for paying my phone bill ontime....in 3 months i can get a free Aunt Annies....

 

Dont start me....Fj....like there all lost it, the obvious is to say the froward line isnt working....no mate its how they shuffel the ball out of defence and midfield, but it would help if instructions came out and say hey fella take you high marking backman for a run up to the wing and we will come down the other wing......Hey Ben Brown love your work ethics but just run out and stay around 50m ark plz...simple stuff like that....Oh and fullback kick to numbers and out on the flanks plz....May could use a spell at Casey too...Petty why is he getting a game?

 

You could put a bullet up Chandlers backside at half time too.....why he still getting a game? Spargo im packing off to you with a 3rd round pick all for free end of season.....Jordan didnt play isnt going to make it....bite my tongue....Slakkie Hunter has turned the corner since being rubbed out....

 

Dees playing like a bottom 4 team boys Saints and Lions next two weeks we will end up fighting to stay in the 8.....cant justify $200 a year on what there dishing up....you made all my bad memoreys resurface Fj...

Hasn't exactly been roses for me and my boys????

Was hoping Will's mob was going to get up on the weekend so we could get that young Reid fella.

 

The umpiring is irking me,four of them now and i don't see any benefit for the game.

Was peeved picking the Dockers to start with but when the game was in the balance and Luke Ryan went for a hanger,two bad decisions in a row and with a blink of an eye the game was over.

Should be interesting and hope it comes in very soon...talk about clubs being able to shift contracted players, not sure you cant as Pies moved off grundy easy enough.

 

Umps well i seen a few horrible decisions but we were playing like North so whats the point in complaining?

 

Do you realize that Demons are the worst performing club since 1965? North are miles in front of us...only other team who could lay claim in 20 ys are the Suns...

 

You must have other hobbies surly Fj? Im going out and having pizza to forget tonight as im still wound up like a top...actualy im still to get over the Cats game the Gaints game was kinda blurry you know....

 

I want to know why as a kid did i make such a bad decsion on following who i do....all my mates were Pies Blues and Bombers...

That was a shocker against Ryan for unreasonable attempt.

 

One of my pet peeves is a player with the pill running at another player with his head down.

In some cases the player doesn't even tackle him and still gets pinged for high.

 

I know the AFL want to look after the melon, but the players are exploiting it.

hahaha no seriously Demons are the worst, just looked it up, played finals 12 times since 1984 none bettween 1965 to 1984, 19 ys........ From 1984 to today finnished 14th or worst 11 times...and in that time we were slowly expanding the league, i know we won a few woodern spoons thank god for the Saints hey...

 

Give you all a tip for the weekend, Saints often terrorise us its hardly close either way.....

We dont come up after a bye, almost never, when poo hits the fan they might respond 5% of the time, you can put money on them not turning up when its hard....we are half way through a 4 game slide......Back in the Northey era and im pretty sure happend at least once or twice under Danhier we lost 5 on the troot around end of season...made us going from a possible premiership threat to....not gonna happen....And...i dont think its smart selling/moving home games off the MCG, half the league would die to be in our position...were a 50/50 in the outback as well...maybe we could have done better if we were at the G sunday...

 

I feel better today....real reality has set in we have lowered our expectations... not expecting too much from here on....

 

Historicly North Dogs Hawks and Saints were the wipping boys for the league, Dees not to far behind that was up to our second last flag, yeah yeah we had a 10 year run but before we would go missing for periods of time....North and Hawks came in forget now around second world war time from the VFA were beaten up forever, eventualy Hawks modled them selves on Pies and Dees i read then took the 61 flag and never looked back, North took hold of the 10 year rule and Barrasi in the mid 70's now come and go, Saints well they were bad for like ever but they have managed to play finals plenty of times last 35 ys, Dogs about the same which leves my poor old team as historicly the worst of the last 55 ys....something like that.....

 

Like poor will....he has only seen maybe 3 poor years.....he hasnt suffered like me, Chooks and you Fj...not even close...

 

As a footnote been watching talksport a UK sports program...you wanna hear the Spurs suporters, hahaha there begun to settle down now but gees when around the time Ange was about to be named coach and with the prospect of Kane going into his last year,....the venom coming out of the screen....hahaha, im tame compared....

 

Enjoyed my pizza last night ....and got lucky shopping too......  

[AlexRRR]

Almost forgot, Hardwick to the Suns, Dew might not see out the season according to miss Wilson, she also mentioned that since the May Melksham dust up Dees 14 of 15 or the other way around, that that fight has disturbed the playing group, think she might have something there...Jake had been a Simon fav since that time hardly gets a game.....M Loyd recons and i kinda agree as well Dees a spent force on there way down, The Man Kane says its Dees ball use not the forwards as i say too.
