In the media today it's being posted he allegedly called him a faggot.

 

Using previous cases as a guide, you'd imagine it's 5 games.

 

A massive blow for the Crows.

Nah saints don't them they are getting old we have a good crop of young players comming through.  What we need is a key forward.  Rumour has it  Max King  won't play next year so that's nearly 3 yrs out of the game.

Im pretty dam sure the ratings for Bomber games prime time thus and Friday night are bottom of the barrel, another evening id like to watch some decent footy buy cant, like who schedules these games?

 

Its time every team gets one prime time evening game in the first 9 weeks or so then the powers that bee sit down and pick the next 4 games and you know make it up as it goes along and keep us god dam interested...2025 you know, like how hard is it to put on games that actually mean something.

The fixturing this year has been as bad as I've ever seen Uncle Alex

Channel 7 refusing to broadcast it says something.

 

Mark Howard calling it like he calls a game of T20 doesn't help either.

Watch with the volume down uncle Will like I do, set it to 15 on the 85inch Samsung, and I have industrial deafness and still can hear it.

 

Bombers got 4 Thursday and 4 Friday night games in 2025, WHAT A S>H>I>T> SHOW, if this doesn't "show how badly they got it wrong" nothing does, like I said first 9 weeks everybody gets a prime time evening game after that pick the best and most interesting games a few weeks out, no need to lock in dead pan games like Demons Bombers Eagle and North on a Friday night hey? annnnnnnnnd Thursday evenings...

Well what a finish. Great for a win for Hinkley in his final game as coach, Also for Boak in his retirement game. I had originally tipped  Melb and GC but changed this afternoon. Good call Will.

Not wishing to offend our resident Port Adelaide supporter, but GC got absolutely reamed by the umps.

 

I like Kenny and Boakey though and Hardwick is a bit of a dick😁

I think the umpiring has been fairly ordinary all season.

 

Hysteria all round about Rankine, even some Port "supporters" are having a moan.

It's not rocket science, the days when pro sportsmen could do and say what they like on and off the field, are long gone, a couple of decades of destroyed careers, even Jail time has sent a strong message.

Rankine getting a 1 week discount was just disgraceful.

Rip claiming the Port win makes things interesting, seeing as he has the best margin.

 

Three pretty straight forward wins today you'd think but some interesting ones tomorrow.

 

No prize for second but both Rip and Chooks need an upset or two.

Imagine Scea will play it safe.

Does Chooks have the minerals to go for an upset?

Assuming Rip will as he's further behind.

 

Stay tuned for a thrilling finish.

I was looking at that but I need 2 upsets as Scea has an 8 point margin buffer

I think in my last winning season I knocked off second by a single margin point. 

 

What a game of 2 halves. Swans kicked 13 goals to 1 in the 2nd half. 2026 season awaits.

Well Peeps

Barring a huge upset on Wednesday, Scea looks like he has managed to hold on to his slender lead.

 

Rip gave him a scare though by picking some roughies.

 

Assuming he passes his mandatory drug test, he will be crowned the 2025 Thailand Mob Tipping Champion on Wednesday afternoon.

 

Stay tuned.

Thank you, thank you, I took an Imodium for my colitis this morning but kept off them all through the season, chocolates to Chook for keeping me honest once I hit the front and to Rip for scaring the cr#p out of me in the last round. 👍

I reckon he'll ask for a trade to Geelong.

He will probably play CHF or with the sub being abandoned for 5 on the bench will have room for 2 rucks

Hot news coming out of Melbourne this morning reported in local news papers there, Longmire will be appointed football director or what ever Al Ricco Richardsons roll is at the Demons, and even more starling are the moves with Oliver expected to go to the Swans while Isaac Heeney who we been itching to get our hands on for years along with Papley to be traded to the Demons for first and future first, like where we getting this years first from? but hey they will make it happen...

 

Oliver totally peed off over last season and scuttled move to the surf coast even though he dont surf needs to get out of the pressure cooker says his manager, so where else better than Sydney? have Bondi so he can practice surfing...

 

Dont laugh like Fj did Rip, I said  just a year or two before it came true that Ben Brown would look good in a Demon jumper, now imaging health hunsum blond hair in the sunshine of the G Heeney in a Demon jumper with the number 2 on his back tearaway Papley with the number 16 Grinters number, we need a stirrer on the forward line big time...

Put the crack pipe down Uncle Alex.

 

Sydney aren't letting Heeney go.

 

Oliver is on a reported 1.4 million.

No one is picking him up unless Melbourne pay a fair bit of his wage I'd imagine.

 

No games this weekend so it's silly season for the media.

You'd want to hope you play finals next year.

 

3.8 million a year for 2 players is huge.

Nas worth every cent.

 

1.8 for TDK is about a million a year too much IMO.

Harley Reid has signed an extension for 2 years.

 

About the only thing I can take from this <deleted> show of a season.

You where quick, just seen the news now, like why would you want a forever contract unless your a two bit player, one of the Daicos boys is now looking $ poor now after signing a long deal, dare say if Pickett can keep it up his contract will be looking cheapcheap cheap here birdie in a few years.....by the way thanks for delisting Jai Cully, I can see a very handy player in the making, reminds me quite a lot of Jaden Hunt without the speed, an Eagle supporter told me he had a lot off injuries but had been tearing it up in the WAFAL.

 

As for Isaac....I dont smoke by the way, am projecting my desires onto Rip, as was the case of desiring Ben Brown off Fj, for our full forward and it came to pass, I now desire Isaac and Papley, so im working on conjuring up a trade, deeeeeeep meditation and well you heard of the law of attraction right? And it works, oh by the way im also conjuring up the pass on Buckley, honestly if they appoint him they will expect to be top 4 next season etc etc, and sorry to say Bucks came from a well run orginazation and we are nowhere near as professional though the ship has been steadied...and and, well Simons record as Talking Heads would say "better than it ever was" over Buks,,,and its "Burning Down the House" if Bucks gets in...
