In a season we where not meant to have hats off to the boys in red and blue, but in the end reaching a bridge on crutches was a little to far to cross... Now id like to get this out as im dead sure the wild card rounds will be seen as a big win....firstly the Pies are a very well run organisation and very well coached, they keep all teams honest, finishing 9th isnt normal for a team like this, then Demons 15 wins is normally 4th or 5th on the ladder, 7th was not normal, The Blues have shown they are a better team than 10th, but would have missed finals as would have the Pies, The Blues are abnormal that a hard running team did not get going till round 10, The Dogs "got it together very late in the season they would have just scrapped into the 8. Normally 9th is battling for a spot in the 8th but done like a dinner by round 21/22, 10th spot are out of the equation 4 weeks before.. So the AFL got lucky cause in normal years Saints and Gaints of this year are battling for 7th and 8th, Blues made the wildcard round on 50 points 12 wins as the Pies, while some will say 12 wins can get you to 8th this was not a normal year when Demons finished 7th on 15 wins..which shows teams from 3rd to 7th were a lot closer than normal.. I of course am not for wildcard or Sunday ticket, please AFL come up with Australian football language plz, you will confuse NFL supporters when they switch channels, I think we got treated to a couple of amazing games this weekend but im also of the belief it was an abnormal season, but I could be wrong, wildcard might just work we shall see... Newcastle U pop off happless Spurs 0-2....who`said Eddie Howe was a good coach? (Ange keeps chucking on his billions in Saudi) Im with the Kick Off, writing was on the wall by December last year, Wrexham 1- Birmingham 2 your gonna need some magic Billy there sitting 20th...recruiting a 40 year old Vardy to kick goals is a bit of a comedy show mate!!! Did they land him? Leeds 1-Brentford 1, Harry Willson the welsh saviour, for Leeds, was at Fulham on loan last season, watched a bit of this game, love this guy, recall when he spent a year ar Derby under Frankie Lampard, who lost again, go Leeds.... Washington formally the Redskins are primed to go, NFL season starts in 10 days, Buffalo Bills will be smarting, love the way the owner used a hatched to there coach who played all bar the first season in the play offs, no more Bills are nice guys, pussys there been for way to long. Browns quarterback s**t show continues, been going on since 1999, Watson wins the starting gig, was it ever in doubt? 35 million dollar's say no, Watson hates the fans, the fans hate Watson, boos when he did his season ending tendon tear 2 ys back, what is it, 19 games out of a possible 50 I think is how often he has fronted up at scrimmage, then mediocre at best, but hey the guy was just getting his mojo going when he tore his Achilles, Watson came out in a press conference recently peed off at the fans over that injury, so you better hope he dont tear up the league this year cause he wont be staying, contract is up soon, 250m richer, and can play back up QB for the next 5 ys on a few million for the privilege of having him sit on the sidelines per season....And no Sanders is years away from being a decent starting QB, but wait, Jets expected to TANK,, there frigging good this team, its the team where all the QBs go to die, even Arron Rodgers had a poor 3 seasons there, they set back current MPV winning super bowel QB Darnonald a few years, but in the end quality did stand up...took him quite a few years to shake the Jets trauma, mean while uncles Mannings, Peyton and Eli, winning QB for Colts and Broncos and Gaints are in fits...they dont want nephew at the Jets, grand dad was also a starting QB for several NFL teams...Jets and Browns got their eyes on Arch Manning.... the theory is if you rub the golden buddhas belly you turn too gold also, is fixed in there minds...BUT, wait for this, could it happen in the AFL, Eli Manning was drafted by the Chargers but refused to play there, then was immediately traded to the Gaints, so Jets are unlikely to snare Arch, because you die there.....
