You had some soldiers down Rip.

A gutsy win.

Was pleased to see Hawthorn lose.

Gee they're unlikeable.

Looks as if I owe Scea lunch as his boys got over WC.

Well Gang

That's it for MND round.

Both FJ and Radar picked an excellent 7 with FJ getting the Milky Way bars.

Still no change at the top but FJ is making a big charge.

Until next time.

Its round 14, the yanks are bombing again and Iran is retaliating and its a ceasefire, how does that work? Drones are king in the Ukraine conflict, the Russians are loosing then Ukraine is not winning, how does that work?

Then Pauline Hanson is the next "big thing" in Au politics, ho dear, the average IQ of the Aussie citizen has slipped...well after watching both big L's stumbling around Canberra I guess its not to hard to understand, Migrants...thats the answer...but they dont vote...

Then Since Friends TV show Monica has risen 122 places to be ranked 931 for female baby names....gees I needed to know that, while Ross is up 756 spots to 1930, my god what a rise...Gabriella up one to 48, went on a couple of dates with one of them, Troy hits 500...ok I know your dieing to know, number one is Olivia, what a punce name, 2 Amelia, dated her too...and I liked the movie, she was a Hungarian and a very well formed 20 year old blonde, I use to have that Rod Stewart thing for blondes... ummm nice..3 Eliane, nice name, Sophia is 4 reminds me of the cattle trucks arriving at the.......5 Charlotte, this reminds me of the what would have been a massive conflict had my first born been a girl, what a horrible name, the ex was a teacher, and she had two exotic names to bestow apone the first born female in our family, one was Natasha, no way, they where horrible, for boys name she had an Enrico in her class...I thought it a nice name at the time, and suggested it, she hated the kid....so I learned....Isabella comes in at 6, I could deal with that name, 7 Emma, well my Hungarian well formed blonde was nicked named Emma...not sure how that worked...Oh my god, Aurora sprints in at 8, roll me over and kick me in the guts, a train for a name...9 Ellie...who could forget her big shining choppers as she walks along a pier ....best commercial ever...10 is Everlyn, dated a Lyn on and off for a few years the attraction was tall skinny and a well firm big set, she got sick of me using her as a part time girl friend...

Boys baby names, we are just itching to know....1 Noah, Jewish names do well hey...yet most of the world hates them...then most people are not so intelligent enough to associate hey? Liam...2 reminds me of that actor who cant act, Oliver, oh my, if I hated the girl version the boys version does no better....Elijah, I like but wouldnt name my kid, Mateo @ 5 Levi is 6, Lucas rolls off your tongue at 7, the 4th jewish name in the top ten at 8 is Ezra, and I suspect Elias at 9 is also.....then Leo, can you imaging looking at a little baby and thinking is his name really Leo?

Anyway I guess we needed a diversion, best ranked baby's names, like the world is one big cesspool at the moment, so something to take your mind of the poo...

There getting close to 2M a season for Butters, could be the next Deshawn Watson, Tigers throwing around the money like its confetti...whats the compensation then? 6 first round picks to Port? Good luck to him, id burn my membership card if I still had one if my club was in the running...

And Pickett did not trip Maynard, but it was poetic justice he's put his shoulder out a second time in that game and hopefully out for the season, Picket eyes were front to the side on the ball and trying to get up when a scrambling dog came running over the top...

Then there got to get that <deleted> the tribunal, ex Magpie just doesn't rub out Pie players, How that shirt front that put Brayshaw out never got Maynard rubbed out is one of the worst insults to a serious injury ever...Maynard is a well known hard man and attack dog, if you thought Grinter was a dirty guy then you have to admit Maynard is of the same mould, how the f**k the Mihockek incident didnt get Frampton rubbed out is way beyond my comprehension, while not intensional it was a slam head first into the ground, any fool knows when your holding a player in that manner with that movement its head first into the god dam ground. Then that f**kwit Eddie M comes out and says it's not reportable....hope he is in pain for the rest of the season seeing the Pies wallowing in the bottom 4.

Mmm, my great grand son is named Mateo, means Mathew, Mate...! 👍

Well Peeps

That's it for round 14.

Three picked six, with Scea getting the Polly Waffles by virtue of the margin.

Until next time.

Some good games this week.

Well Gangsters

That's it for another round.

Uncle Alex and Rip both picked 6 from 7.

Rip gets the Turkish Delights for being closest to the pin.

Until next time.

I am glad I changed to the Dogs 5 minutes before kickoff.

Good to see your still standing in the gauntlet Rip.

GWS caused my downfall.

Take the L out of Lover and it's over, None better said than the Motels and sexy Martha Davis, who could forget? and that haunting voice, and she was a bit off a stunner there in the 80s, https://www.nine.com.au/entertainment/celebrity/jules-neale-tattoo-removal-split-from-lachie-neale-20260622-p60926.html

So that tattoo L on Jules's, Mrs Ex Neal's hand a symbol of a life long love is erase im so sad as she would have been well placed for Ms AFL MILF this season along with Max's wife... That pic certainly says she's over him with that great big infectious smile....

Glad I dont pay any subscriptions to news papers these days...Aussie Facing a 100k Gut Punch! there talking about housing and a slowing economy, talk about whats your favourite flavour when you pop into buy an ice cream...one thing with age....you have seen it all before....many times...

So Trump nearly put his big foot in it again...but really does Iran have any real barging chips? like the yanks are just humouring them...really they are, for the life of me the world is full of "experts" who have panned the excursion, while its never runs to plans it will turn out better than it was....Look im no Turmpie, cant stand the guy BUT, a string of lame presidents didnt do much for the better either, just a status quo.

The joke of the day....Hanson calls on Albanese to follow the UK PM...shes revealing in her 5 min of fame, polls are up, id be worried about her supporters, a growing trend, in the US there known as The Proud Boys, KKK and Tennessee Rednecks.... We all know when your doing it tough lice and termites begin to have a political view.... though they the lice and termites before the federal budget had been singling out us Baby boomers for having a house rather than the age old welfare bashing...

Miss May a one Sachi Dade, rather a yummy specimen...will sue the MFC, who knows what for, someone upset a few people and we believe he was shown the door...what if young Stevie was still playing FB? anyway in the end they will pack up for her her fav subway gift wrapped with a so sorry note and a years subscription to her nearest Subway to enjoy....

The ex Blue and Port Nick Stevens gets jail time, will be right at home...with a bunch of low lifes for 9 months only, really not fair for repeat offenders...then 2 ys community work...like you could trust him around a ute full of tools? He will see it as an opportunity with goverment backing for pool biz 2...

Im not going to talk about the Blues, im frigging disgusted how obvious they the players have shafted M Voss...

Round 16 coming up and im having a decent year, draw has been kind but then the AFL expected us to be hovering a meter off the ground...all good....not jumping around on the sofa like I normally would as expectations where never high, then the frees? im totally bewildered of course, like I just dont call it anymore...my wish for season 2027 is no rule changes plz...

Well Boys

That's it for another shortened bye round.

Glad they're over TBH.

As you can see, two picked 6 and the rest got 5.

Until next time.

Chiang Rai double...

Will you were the winner with the best margin. Enjoy the milky way.

They spoiled the Cats and Lions show as well as the Eagles and Crows, all of the last two weeks the Taylor and Trav spectacular has had New York City buzzing.....The press out to photo any "celebrity" walking with in 50 miles of Central Park looking for clues on the big day then yesterday the big electronic sign goes up, there married, what a relief, the World Cup can now continue as wells as the AFL...

https://www.nine.com.au/entertainment/celebrity/taylor-swift-and-travis-kelce-wedding-live-updates-all-the-details-as-they-happen-20260703-p60c99.html you can see some of the A Listers here who got an invite, so whoo is Travise Kelce? Well if you look at him he's around 6ft 5 and very well built, now a fading two bit tight end for the fading Kansas City Chiefs, won 3 superbowels and was a star for a long time but father time has caught up, has decided to go around one more time this coming season to further trash his reputation...which took a big hit last season. She is some pop singer I can honestly say ive never knowingly heard any of her music, and I wont be rushing to Spotify to listen either. We can expect to see Ms Taylor jumping around in the Celb Box this season in Kansas, I thought no one goes to Kansas but she does, jumping around like jack, with a martini in hand when ever Patrick Mahomes makes a play to Trav, hopefully none of my teams play in Kansas this coming season...ps Taylor is no shortie either, so nows a good time to have a bet in how long the marriage lasts, we dont really want to wish that on them and I dont, but you know when you live in front of a camera the day does come when your not interesting anymore...3 to 5 ys then that sign goes up over Madison Gardens saying, There not married anymore.

We go down to Egypt on penalties, no I didnt watch it, not staying up late or getting up early to watch, anyhow I have a tip for the brothers stranded in Thailand...read carefully if you do not own a VPN, I stumbled on Firefox had it for a long time but hardly use, if you have it refresh/update the browser there is an option for VPN if you sign in and up, now you can watch SBS catch up and the world cup live and the replays for FREE, ABC Iview and anything else from Firefox.

A tip for Lachie Neal, son your 32, take the money never mind the club...

Has Hardwick lost it?

The Lions are back....

The Hawks, "we wont loose again" The who anthem, and not in Tassie thats for sure...just dont get embarrassed Dees...

Which Port is turning up today?

What a relief there tied the knot, the suspense was killing...

Glad for Uncle Alex's boys to beat the Hawks.

They're thoroughly unlikable.

Speaking of unlikable, good to see Maynard get put on his arse.

All of his bull<deleted> bravado.

Reckon he's due for a holiday for umpire contact as well.

Looking at it as a glass half full because at the end of the day it was a 6 goal win, we just wont dwell on the 11 unanswered in the last...the most pleasing is we finished off with the last two and would have been a third if not for the siren, happy to help out a brother.,..go Swans..

Well your a West Aussie so you lack some VFL/AFL history, like I dont mind expansion clubs taking the flag due to greedy and a broke VFL selling rights too Join then hijack it to a national comp when all it ever really was an expanded VFL, The Hawks Roos and Dogs joined an expanded VFL in 1925 they then continued to be the wipping boys for 40 odd years, they also finished last Hawks, second last Dogs, and 3rd last North, that year and like forever, just someone for the likes of Demons Blues etc to boost %, so again I dont mind when one of these 3 clubs turns up on grand final day, its just the Hawks when Kennedy arrived put the fear of god into the Hawks and they never looked back 13 flags from 1961 I think it was, easily the most successful club since 1960.

The Hawks are from Hawthorn its not far from Toorak, blue chip Melbourne property and expensive since the late 70s, they also had Jeff Kennet as the president, no one could forget he as primer of Victoria, a very much hated man he was, cut the government work force, my ex a teacher took the package and run just so 6 ys later they where trying to rehire the teachers back, cut government services and put Victoria into fee fall for 4 ys, but we did come out better but the rich weren't bothered of course just the low hanging fruit.

So its understandable why Billy cant stand them even I who once liked em and considered switching to them during the dark days kinda is sick of them a bit these days, but for 40 years they along with the other two where the VFL structural support embedded into the mud to support the other teams, kicked wipped laughed at, % boosters, so yeah, Peter Gordon, Alan Al;ett and John Kennedy, made them all into something...

I used to love watching the Hawks in the Dermie and Dunstall days.

Plus, I've always been a massive David Parkin fan.

Just not a fan of Sam Mitchell.

The Hawks have also got a lot of knobs playing for them.

Well Gents

That's it for a round of upsets.

A good weekend for Radar as his beloved Blues win 7 on the bounce and get into the top 10.

He also gets the Toblerone this week for picking 6.

Some ball tearing games next week.

Until next time.

Hope my tipping improves this week.

Half way through the round and it felt like the old days on a saturday night at the pub playing pool after ten middies with the other guy on the black and me yet to sink a ball.

Thankyou Blues for keeping my dacks up.😅

One would be excused if watching port/roos thinking Clarkson was the new coach.

It got ridiculous how much space was left for port at centre half forward to stroll into the fifty.

Most free kicks in a game,umps will need new whistles this week.

That's it for another round fellas.

Three picked 8, but the Cadbury's Flakes go to GrannysApples, who picked the card with 9.

Well done, Grant.

Until next time.

Another GWS casualty.

Only a massive upset by Essendon stopped Scea picking the card.

He gets this week's Quality Streets for picking 8.

Rip picked a solid 7.

Still tight at the top.

Until next time.

GWS beat Freo 2 weeks ago and have now been beaten by WC and Essendon.

Game of round 20, Blues at home to the cooked sausages The Suns, the worse against the worst, Then the farce, 10th, Saints 8 wins 10 looses, who'll play finals...if Gaints keep loosing...Fjs North out of the top ten on %...and the Suns 1 game out....FARCE...like only there supporters would take it seriously...We have reached late season 2026 and seen people who run the AFL scraping the paint off the side of a ship with fingernails haaaaaaanging on for grim death....as there sliding into shark infested waters...like you have to be a footy junky to like it...Can we all meditate on the mantra of, leave the f**k**g game alone plzzz...for 5 min...

Then we finally get a Friday night game,......unbelivable...
