Carlton and Essendon

Ok fair enough. I would have those 4 on a par.

"West Coast will be back ...but it's fun to kick them while they are down"

Even more fun when we now know their fans bleat after one bad season.

[Fred Nerk]

Oh - and whoever said Port were a pile of crap was right on the money. Carlton were no better than mediocre yesterday but mediocre beat whatever the hell Port were by 11 goals which should have been more.

Carlton fixed the same mob last year too. How the hell they got into a GF in between those two debacles, God only knows. Port 07 are fighting it out with Melbourne 88 for the 'worst grand finalist in living memory' booby prize.

Anybody who gets eight this week knows far call about footy ....

Pies , Cows , Toast , Dogs , Cats , Hawks , Roos , Dockers

[horace]

power, cows, weazels, brions, bloods, dorks, filth and shockers.....could be 8 - could be zero

[Paul Keating]

Fark, how bad are we?

Still we won't get the dreaded spoon.

[lardbucket]

I can't believe how low the Eagles have sunk.

[skully]

So how much will the Cats smash the Swans by?

[lardbucket]

The Swans are a miserly defensive side and may give the Cats some trouble.

[skully]

I hope you are on the money lardy. I'll give it a watch but my hopes aren't high.

[lardbucket]

Meh, I hope I'm wrong. I don't know how much longer this charmed run can continue, though. I'm expecting to be disappointed come finals time.

[skully]

Bah, the Cats look just as certain to win the Flag this year as they did last. Only a Buddy massacre can topple them. And if Buddy is true to form, he'll do a John Daly on the big day and kick 1-7.

[lardbucket]

I wasn't sure of last year until we led by about 80 points in the last quarter.

After being burned so many times, it's hard to be over-confident.

[skully]

Fair enough, but they look a class above every other side this year.

[lardbucket]

They've got great depth, and of course I am hopeful. After watching their great teams stumble in 1989 and throughout the early 90's, though, I take nothing for granted.

worry about your own rabble, you stoopid Spiv!

Meh, I fully expected the Cats to smash us Nath. If it's a certainty, I don't worry. It's the close contests that get me jangling.

Cats v Hawks looks a lock for the Flag play-off. Buddy to kick sideways for lots of behinds and OoBs!!

[lardbucket]

The Dogs seem to be fading at the wrong end of the season, letting Brisbane in last night. Still 10 teams in contention for the final 8.

[Nath]

(1 for each of Buddy's goals)

[Red]

What an upse - the Tiges beat the Hawks. And Franklin sprays them again - 3.6.

[lardbucket]

Franklin's saving his straight-shooting for the Grand Final, where he will kick 12.2

one can only hope.

Although my team lost and my tipping sucked, at least my Supercoach team won.

[skully]

Old Buddy seems to be a bit on and off. Today was obviously an off day.

[lardbucket]

Brisbane and Richmond still have some mathematical chance of making the finals, but have to rely on Collingwood (*) and/or St Kilda stuffing up monumentally.

(*) It's a nice thought, but too good to be true.

bullies, tigers, power, bloods, brions, pussies, cows and dorks
