AFL 2019

Magpies wobbling and it's not even close to September.

Carlton under Teague have as many wins in six weeks as they managed under their previous coach in 50 games, as many as the Grand Poo Bah before that in his last 20, as many as Shane Watson has Test centuries in a 10 year career, as many as Collingwood has Premierships in the lifetime of Jack Silvagni's grandfather, and as many wins as Brett Ratten cobbled together in HIS last half-dozen games as Carlton coach in 2012.

They're looking better, for sure.

It was a sunny still day with a hint of Spring, enough it seemed to bring on the Wobbles.

My mob may finish lower than CFC.

Have played cricket against young Thomas - useful fast bowler and correct batsman with all the shots, but little patience.

He's beefed up a fair bit this year; he was just a skinny streak just 18 months ago.

The guy front left is Cyril Snr
The bloke in the back with the hat is an intruder who was a fairly handy footballer so they let him be in the photo (Ross Glendinning)

Noyce happy snap. Ross G was one of my favourite non Swans players.

You'd have got long odds last year on Brisbane and Carlton both winning today v Hawthorn (at their Launceston "fortress") and Adelaide respectively; even longer odds on the scoreline being 87 - 20 in both games.

Hawks are officially on the nose.

1 week is a long time in football. Lions know all our secrets since Hodge and Fagan left.

Blue Murder of Crows

Another horrible weekend, starting to hate football a month early this year.

Massive upset in Canberra - Hawks still in with a chance of finals, Nath. The last few weeks have seen a chokeathon from the (previously) leading teams and at this stage it seems 5 or even 6 teams may miss out on the finals by percentage alone, or one match at most. Well, eight teams are still in the running for positions 7 and 8, and only 4 sides are definitely ruled out of finals. It must be the latest in the season for some years that so many sides are still in with a shot.

still need to beat the Eagles in Perth, which is no mean feat. probably need a result or 2 to go our way

many many permutations still

the Essendon v Dogs game later today might make things a little clearer

Might help if it snowed again.

I think our recent record over there isn't too bad. Maybe they will help us out by "managing" a few players?

Maybe you Mexicans can push any more crap weather west and it might snow. The north of the country is sick and tired of the crap blowing out our arse end.

Well Essendon got off to a good start tonight kicking the first goal of the game.

Aye, Essendon and North both flogged.

North's lowest score of all time.

Consolation Times (after the Swans own poor loss).

Massive weekend looming, and a tipster's nightmare. Most difficult tipping round all year IMHO.

Hope Lardy's on the plane with free booze.

IF North, Freo and GWS all win this week, Hawthorn could find themselves in the top 8.

Not yet. I hate football again.
