AFL 2017

Do I LOOK that silly? I still don't believe it, I'm still tipping somebody will find out it's just fake news...

alright, we're 2nd last on the ladder.

Saints will be very happy with the Dawks.

5/7 this week, let down by Port and GWS.

Oui, the Hawks can't even look forward to an early draft pick.

Was disappointed today. Our depleted team played well despite the regular turnovers, but we just didn't seem to get the rub of the green with the scrumps.

Commentators made the point that the Pondies had plenty of chances and were nearly five goals up before half time. The dees were also missing key players. Another poor coaching performance.

By the way I like the extra ump. My team had a significant edge in the free count. Most unusual.

Actually the observations yesterday were that the fourth umpire has added to the inconsistency.

The Dees had key players out yesterday and we missed key men. Think coming back from Perth playing a team which had a bye was tough at the end; we ran out of legs.

Usually don't bother about umps but thought we were screwed yesterday, as did some neutral journos.

Jeremy Howe is a delight to watch though.

His name is Jerry Miaow. He is the younger brother of Jay Miaow who played test cricket for New Zealand.

Seems that whenever a team that's had the week off plays a team that hasn't, whichever team loses trots it out as an excuse.

Also, just seen the Open Mike featuring the least number of words from Mike (28 but I may have missed a couple). It always took a good defender to shut Peter 'Whispers' Bosustow down....and it would still take a gun to shut him up.

Surprising - wasn't he a high flyer?

He should be suffering from oxygen deprivation.

Killers?

Somebody told her....

Hey Embee, will leave a sear next to me at the G tomorrow for your metaphorical presence. Will leave a mug of smuggled Irish coffee on the seat. (of courseI will drink it as the Bloods go down the gurglar)

Cheers H

enjoy watching Buddy play

my old footy club has merged with his old footy club so I can claim him as a local

Bizarre game....Houdini escape by the Bloods

HTF could Richmond lose that?

I can't tip for nuts anymore

You're not Robinson Crusoe there. Anyone leading a tipping comp would know nothing about football.

It's a bit of a lottery, for sure.

What odds are being offered now for Richmond finishing 9th? Surely not ...

Was talking briefly to a Collingwood-supporting idiot (tautology, I know) last night ... he was loudly proclaiming that Collingwood would definitely make the 8 and that Sydney definitely could not ... took him on on both counts.

Hawks still only 2 games (and a shedload of %) outside the 8

Just catching up with the replay of tonight's game....what is going on with that black strip down the sides of the Tequila Sunrise jumpers? They look like they gaffa-taped the front and back together

(serious request for info although creative responses also appreciated)

Eade must be under the cosh.

Swans/Tiges was a tale of two halves.
