What a strange game. Swans score 18 points in 1 half and 18 goals in the next. They scored 75 points in the 3rd quarter. Equal 3rd in all time history. I am still shaking my head. A great win.

West Coast are everywhere mate😀

Wow, how about them Dogs eh?

My tipping still hasn't improved🤨

Well Gents

That's it for Opening round.

Scea and Uncle Alex both picked 4 which was a fair effort.

Scea closer to the margin so he goes home with the Maltesers.

FJ is in 3rd followed by the rest.

Until next time.

Didn't look poor to me, Ryan kept em on there toes running around like washing machine, round and round, the other guy pulled a top defender...

He was tagged the tagger couldn't keep up...

Curnow looks like the side of the Queen Mary, can he walk through a standard 820mm door?

The Suns sausage sizzzzzzzzzzeled, Hardwick is going to do it again, back to back to back, and you heard it from me first.

Ps, I have to cough up and pay for watch afl, my s.h.i.t. box only likes soccer, and NFL if like to get up at 5 am, got a stream that cut out so went looking to find another that didnt work, checking prices I might become a Swans supporter, hehe there the cheapest at 221$, nahhhh I wouldnt do that to RIP....for an extra pie and sauce I will pay the app the going rate..

Ryan only had 6 kicks.

OA was unsighted.

funny first time I copied and paste the address something like illegal came up...in the heading, wont open, never mind, if I rooted around with the streaming box id eventually find something, but im getting old and dont want stress so I will pay, not a big deal, at least I will get on demand, which is a bonus since I often am late to the game, thanks anyway brother billy...

Strangely enough, I need a VPN to open on my laptop, but not on my set top box using the app.

Buy it through West Coast Eagles.

We need all the help we can get😁

Hahaha, no mate its Swans or the app itself, the very first time I subscribed to watch I did through the Dees, 2 days before, 2 hrs before the game still the club had not sent me the code to get in, so jump on the skytrain go to soi 11 and look for the Australia Pub, which covid had made a casualty, im 50 meters from the German pub where I would watch when my phone email app pings in my pocket, draw it out like a gunslinger and behold my code from the MFC, total disgusted with this the following years go straight to the app and pay.

Im bored Mr Billy, I got banned from reddit on Sunday for 3 days, ( you probably think I get banned a lot) there very sensitive you know, and by a Al Bot, so this is the future, and for next to nothing, I had my old account banned permanently too, well I use to get sarcastic with people cause I cant take stupid, it seems people cant see through the sarcasm you know or read between the lines, i should be back on board by Thursday morning....Like why I got a total ban is beyond my grasp of understanding when normal they just ban you in that thread, either totally or for a few days, You recall Date in Asia? got a couple of total bans there too, them filipino girls, I avoided them after that, like they had a open chat room where all the desperate drop kicks would go, the banter would heat right up then one sicko girl would get offended and report you, bang youre banned..

Anyway im off to pick up my bank statements its tax time in Thailand, and buy a new telly......I recently bought a 65inch LG 4k mr Billy, very nice....on special, very good colour, did that trick again where the HP telly guy would message telling when there was price drop, you see I moved and left that 85 inch samsung telly full of bloat wear at my condo, cause it was too big to trust removalists to get here without damaging it and of course if they did you just get a blank look and they still expect to get pay and you are left with a broken telly, been trying to sell my condo for a while, no luck and thats another story, so sick and tired of dealing with agents in this country I hand ball it over to my partner, who said rent it if not sold my march, and in less than 3 days she got a tenant the deposit and a 12 month rental agreement at top Baht, (there brains are wired different to ours you know) I got a good one here, anyway tenants are expecting and asked if I would put a telly in the bedroom, she's going to be spending a lot of the next 8 months in front of it, so yeah since there paying me a small fortune each month, I agreed, looking at power buys last night its amazing how cheap you can go for 43 to 65 inch, 8000 to 15,000, you know I hate the telly in the bedroom, the pirate brother in law has a 75inch telly in the bedroom and 2 kgs bag of lollies by the bed, in his early 70s still a big kid, he was devastated when TIVO stopped, he has 2 of them, plus he's addicted to downloading movies 24.7 I kid you not the pc never is turned off, classic case of OCD, anyway ....

Nice work Uncle Alex.

I keep an eye on Tv's as well.

Can't believe how cheap they are now.

Lazada had a TCL 75 inch in their sales last week for 14 000 Baht.

Powerbuy and HP cheap as well.

Yeah I cant believe too then I cant believe the range, plenty of expensive ones too, the one you and I bought the 85inch Samsung retailed at 100,000 the first time I saw it got it about 6 months later I think in the 60s, anyway my LG was retailing 75,000 for the 65inch got it for 43,000 then yesterday though I wasn't looking for anything special just decent since it is my condo, Hisense 50 inch for 9,652 down from 11400 at power buys. and its 4K, to think what I payed for my first LCD back in 2013 was AU 5,000...ummm

One thing I like about this country is most things dont go up in price, often down, like petrol, paying 30.8 for 95 last fill up last week 30.5, lol, then you see people posting in Thailand about que's and jerry cans getting filled, no que's in sin city, there all oblivious to what's going on in the Middle East.

The sales guys in the Tv section at Home Pro are kinda passive aggressive when you walk in, I look for a while before I buy, you sing cheap cheap cheap but you look at there expensive ones, so they get youre line id then you discuss they sending you a message when the price drops, poor guys, when I got the message id say its going down further, and it did, 3 times for both.

Actually a drew a line in the imaginary sand maybe 8 ys back, that I wasn't going to be paying stupid or full price for anything again, this is a guy who has dropped 120$ on a typical looking bonds black t-shirt mind you, haha some say crazy like my partner, but it fits like no other and still looks like new more than 10 ys later and you feel naked when its on, Hugo Boss use to make some great T-shirts...And from then on, while obviously I have paid full price ive just avoided the higher priced goods and yet on a regular basis seem to walk in when some items are on sale, and not just for clothes, called the law of attraction....I could tell you some stories about this mr...about the only thing I haven't done in regards to the LOA is conjure up another Dee premiership, hence that AFL Watch Swans membership is looking attractive....lol...let it go Rip....lol...Im not proud anymore, lol, ive just become cheaper....hahaha

You've got to be careful with the salesmen there.

Some are employed by LG, TCL. not the shop, so when you walk in, they obviously push their brand and poop on all of the others.

I pretty much know what I want before I go.

I bought my Samsung online from Lazada.

Interesting.

Round zero, so I guess it is pre-season still?

Oh.

Bugger 3/5

This was the beginning of the comp. They started this opening round a couple of seasons ago. These teams have byes over the next numbers of rounds. I do not like this opening round idea.

Well I walk in and just start at the price range im prepared to pay and work my way down till if find something that matches the quality at a decent price, no salesman can sweet talk me, in the end something like 38,000 drop over 6 months, for the Samsung, this LG was watching 32,000 drop, for bigger ticket items I got a habit of start to look when I know im going to be needing it. (which shows you how much they are marked up if they can still make a buck after a big cut), The first time I knew I wanted a Samsung, second time I knew I didnt want a Samsung (annoying thing would switch Netflix on automatically if I took to long to choose, and the LGs had been standing out when ever I walked past one)

King Gees Dees vanilla Cat style to take on the Saints, think we seen it all before and they know how to counter it, a massacre at the G how this managed to get a Friday night prime time is beyond my comprehension and I will be watching Netflix, well it will still be early maybe I go shopping, I ask you how does the Dogs and Giants worthy of a 9.15 am start work? especially after the game the night before, actually all of Saturday games are half decent and im busy..Poor billy, Suns, the new glamour boys, and on the sunny coast, while I expect the Eagles to get out of the bottom 4 along with Fj and North you wont be starting this week...

The AFL have created a monster with the GC and Brisbane.

I always spend a week or two checking the retailers websites before I go in.

I've been using Thai Watsadu and they always knock something off the marked price and let me have a couple smaller items including a very nice little bench top griller/oven for 30% off when I bought a new washing machine recently.

Calrton what a pathetic 2nd half team. 1 goal in a half. At least they scored more last week. They were very lucky to win. Tom Lynch scoring 2 goal 7 was unbeliveable. Like last week still shaking my head.
