AFL 2017

the rest of the season looks tough for them now

Robbo upgraded his flog status with an insensitive tweet about Fasolo , drugs and mental illness

Wouldn't have happened if players stopped hiding their drug problems by playing the mental illness card

Slobbo is a jerk.

Mental illness can be exacerbated by alcohol and/or drug abuse.

Got cold last night so the TV starting acting around halftime.

I mean...I wanted to...to turn away...but it was just....just...so..I don't...don't know...I mean...I might...might..need help..or something.

channelling Trump watching CNN?

or riffing Velvet Underground? If yes, avoid acting out Venus in Furs - that's Taips' preferred role.

Well it could have been an aprox of my coverage but I was trying to imp genuine shock.

Reporter to Hawthorn player: "What can you tell us about the game."
HP: "Well it was a game of two..."
Rep:"No not this game, THE game. You've obviously never seen it before."

I'm going for the upset. Geelong by 12 points.

people overrating Adelaide, I guess?

Pre-game, the bookies (and punters nation-wide) were predominantly tipping Adelaide.

Geelong's form in losing to Collingwood, the Suns, and Essendon would still have been affecting the opinions of punters.

The home ground advantage is big in Geelong, and the football experts would have taken this into account more than the average punter.

I tip Geelong every week - regardless of form or any of the above ...

Guess I'll start playing closer attention to the market.

hmmmnn...I often tip against the Bloods....the last two decades are an aberration.

I did not say that I tip Geelong in all cases expecting them to win in all cases! I've been doing this since the 90's ...

Supporting my own team is more important to me than winning the tipping comp ...

whereas I have decades of experience which inures me to ignominy...my tipping rarely verges to optimism...the past 20 years have provided delightful surprises...DGAF about tipping comps, tho one year i fluked 3rd in a circa 700 people comp

... logically, then, why do you ever tip against your side?

habit of aversion to over confidence...I often see how we can lose, not how we can win...Bizarre, I am convinced that I am a jinx...have only just started going to games again...easier this year because no-one expects us to play well

Did you not understand my earlier post ... IMO you should always tip your side regardless of whether you believe they can or will win. This is not over-confidence!

Well actually I did. I clearly take a different view. Enjoy the port.

Nice to see the GoCoBananas knock off the weasels.
