Very very happy with that win on Sunday. Great test this week in Hawthorn.

i get the feeling our stoush with the demons will be onesided, but with out getting ahead of myself they are a crux team for us always giving us a drama or two to deal with. dale thomas is the man of the moment in pie land and injuries and suspension aside $100 says he wins chas this year... and yes i did back my own bet at 8/1

Ahh bugger the football...
after 2 weeks of Pumpkins goodness i ruined it by going to see the Collingwood make my team (Richmond) look like a pack of second graders. The only consolation was i left at 3/4 time so i didn't have to listen to the song or see joffa don the jacket.

OK, well i started 3 weeks late, but i predict that i can run over the top of you all in the coming rounds. And for what it is worth, had i been in from round one i would be leading on 20

Well the Eagles just aren't what they used to be, its really amazing how many players we are missing ... the young guys are trying their best though. But our mid field is just not there anymore. ... although Im ok with a team that doesn't win that much - rather than a winning side thats always in trouble. Anyway now on to the big event of last night ... Barry Hall what were you thinking? ... 6-8 weeks they are saying. Also he injured himself in the final quarter so he could be out either way. For those who missed it:

I thought it was quite funny actualy, there was definitely some acting involved. At the same time, Bazza, what the hell were you thinking! As long as the dude's okay.

Thats insane, i had heard about it but didn't see it till just now
How bad were Port? 37 points up at the 23rd minute mark of the 3rd quarter, only to give up 9 goals to 1 in the last at home and lose by 20 - Wow
Hawthorn and the Bulldogs are just way too good at the moment, Geelong too.

The funniest thing is when Hall throws his arms up in the air as if to say he had done nothing wrong.
And what about the Tigers hey? Written off by most, $5.50 rank outsiders, then travel to Subi and come back with a 10goal win and a spot in the top 8.

And we will get an angry Freo this week We've been beaten by them in similar situations, will still be expecting a win. I'll be a West Coast suppoter this weekend, gotta say - i'd love to see Port go 0-5!

I think everyone had the same tips on the comp... very little movement...
Tiges and Blues, who would have picked em.

Gotta admit, i was flirting with the thought of putting 10 on the Tigers, i would have looked like a genius

Seven games for Hall - Thought it would be 8 at least. The triubunal gave him 790 demerit points, 10 of another game. So basically any kind of incident in the future will give him another match.
David Neitz has called a press conference for 10am tomorrow in Vic - Chris Connerly was on SEN and said he is not retiring or handing over the captaincy, but it has something to do with this weeks match against Carlton
Forfeit?

Oh man - the tigers kicked 130 points and only managed a draw! They had the game sown up 3 times and still managed to let it slip. Still, it was funny to see Browny give the best draw celebration i have seen yet.

gee that was a good match last night. I reckon freo will feel a bit hard done by, but they had the chance to win. Bloody cheering with the result though.

Freakin A-Rules!!!!
So far I have picked all the NRL winners (Go you mighty Steel-Dragons!) and ive missed out on only the Bombers and Saints in the AFL. (Our work tipping comp makes us tip both)

You tipped the bombers?
Cmon, man. I go for Essendon & knew we'd get pumped. Even though Collingwood weren't at their best & were at times ordinary in front of goals themselves, they still hammered us because, right now, with a few players out, our lack of depth is exposed.
Cats, Pies & Hawks top 3 teams imo.

Like i said - our work MAKES us tip AFL. Notice how I said Im on a perfect NRL round.....
Besides, on ANZAC day clashes, you can pretty much throw form out the window.

I think i overate the Bombers to be honest, i like their game plan but injuriues and maybe a lack of execution has hurt them. I think they will knock suprise some sides in the second half of the year.
Was at the Carlton-Adelaide game. Very flat and loose checking cost us early, but good character to get a come from behind win (and 5 goals at that) VERY happy with Jon Griffin and Kurt Tippet in the ruck, Griffin giving 35 hitouts and 13 touches, and Tippets work rate for a big man in the forward 50 is great to see....i'm really excited with these guys.
And another draw today!
