A different Round 3 preview

Hard to get "up" for it this week..... but..... we roll on to Round 3. Take no notice of my tips. After 7 out of 9 the first week I fronted up with 4 out 9 last Round. I just cannot understand it my predictions are perfect but the teams let me down.

TOTAL: 11 after 2 Rounds

First up on Friday night are the Other Team in Adelaide Vs the Drug Cheats.

Based on Last week’s scores the Other Team (TOT) should win by a goal. I am really trying to be enthusiastic about the games this week but after TDC ran around us like training cones it is really difficult.

TOT lost the Showdown last week and want to make sure they do not go two in a row against TDC. Two in a row….where have I heard that before?

I am also sure that TOT will not play midgets on Smokin’ Joe.

Prediction: OTO by 6 goals which will show how crap we were last week.

Saturday Afternoon at The ‘G’ with the Aints Vs. Eddies Loved Ones

Loved Ones scrapped home by a solitary against the Tiges last week and Bucks was over the moon. “I don’t think either side played particularly well.” See? Over the moon…. St. Nick’s boys kicked 15 goals last week to be beaten by 5 goals…suffer baby.

Prediction: On the big stage…Saturday afternoon…. Aints in an upset to score their first points of the season and Bucks in the hot seat…. I can dream can’t I?

Also Saturday Arvo at the Home away from Home Tiges Vs Cows. Ho-Hummmmm

If the AFL want to put some excitement into the game they should stage this at the G at the same time as the Aints and A Holes game. It would work, believe me. Hard one to call this. Hardon accused his players of playing “unintelligent football..” hello… Dims, Maaate… don’t waste words Richmond…. Unintelligent….football…. two words too many there and it aint Richmond or football.

But, Wow oh wowie, how good are those Cows …..and the Dees are just behind them on percentage. Please, please…no correspondence will be entered into.

Prediction: Love to see The Cows bury the Tiges by a point this week…. If there is a god….. please.

Saturday Sideely Showdown Swannies Vs Getting better Western Siddeelly

Couple of winners from last week with the Swannies just a bit more winningly. Hope you can make sense of that. When I said it in my head it kinda made sense.

Leon the Cameron took the Presser prize from last week with the following statement about Mumford… "I said to him during the week that I reckon by round three or round four, he's going to be absolutely cherry ripe."

Love that term “cherry ripe” …. should be used more. Turnbull is cherry ripe. Believe me…… off shore tax havens are cherry ripe… Ask the Icelandic PM.

The Swannies and Horse has them purring along…. Is it possible Swans purr? 2-0 cannot be better than that after 2 Rounds

Prediction: Swannies 3-0 after this weekend. Could be the game of the Round

Saturday Night in the cow paddock out the back of Surfers - Sons of Ablett Vs Boos

There is one game each round where you look at it and think that mercy rule should be applied. This is it this Round. Poor Boos, accused of over acting during the week and they were so poor at that that the only ones they could convince were the blind maggots. Just as well they only vote on the Brownlow and not the Oscars.

As bad as the Boos are going the Sons of are travelling great. 2-0 so far and looking down the barrel of an easy evening. It will be easy for them, a doddle, walk in the park… as easy as the Dees win last week….oops, hold on.

Prediction; Sons by a lot.

The last one on Saturday is on the other side of our vast land with the Ex-Druggies vs The Duckers.

Now, I realise I go on about this but “DS” is not a stadium… really, it isn’t. It is a footy ground with pretensions.

The showdown of the Flat Earthers from the west. Ross The Boss has the Duckers travelling well with a perfect record in the first two games of the season…. Lost ‘em both…. Perfect. The Ex-Druggies are not on that pace having won their opening encounter and then dropping the next to the sons of. Damn, I laughed.

I am sure this will be an entertaining game for those living west of the Nullabor and I hope that it is a nil all draw.

Prediction; do I have to? Really? Ok. Ex-druggies by 10 goals. Got a spasm in my brain typing that.

First up on Sunday is Norf Vs The not-so-shiney-Dees at BA??? BA? Just as well it is not a Stadium. A ground named after a boot…. Not even a footy boot.

Firstly I think it is a good thing that after their putrid display against the Drug Cheats last week that the Dees have been exiled to Two-Head Island. Unfortunately, I understand that they will be allowed to come back to Melbourne. It is also a good thing that we have had an extra day to recover as I am sure Roos is right that a few of the boys were tired…. Tired… playing round 2…. Tired…. Give me a break. This is supposed to be a professional sporting team. Tell it like it was Roos. Bigheaded players that had pocketed the 4 points…. Bad selection on Thursday night and even worse match day coaching. Surely it cannot get much worse….. Surely….

Yep It can. I would like to believe they will bounce back. But…….

We play a team full of older bodies with experienced heads on their shoulders. The wonder of transplants….

Prediction: look away now… I beseech you, look away… Norf by whatever they like… a slow motion train wreck

Sunday afternoon at the Home away from Home Everybodies Second Team vs, The Bouncing Dorks

Wanna see the Bullies run over the top of the bouncers. Down one week, up the next…. If they remain true to form this is a down week.

Besides, who could not like a team who’s Coach loves to skate board. If we could get him to the Dees he could take up downhill skiing or snowboarding.

Now the Dorks…I am not convinced. The last few seasons have all been down to good luck, the bounce of the ball, good coaching and the AFL Commission. This is a season too far for them. I hope. Bored with them now.

Prediction: Bullies by a goal or two.

Last one of the Sunday games at Kardy Park down the Highway with Handbaggers Vs Leppa’s Cubs

Scott of the Chris Variety told reporters after his loss last week "We don't make excuses, so I'd appreciate if you don't make excuses for our players as well." Huh? His players were not tired? Bigheaded? He did not make bad decisions/ this guy just does not know how to play the game. Blame the players…. Blame the players….  Make excuses, or, at least infer them.

But I digress… this game will be slightly less boring than the game over in the West. The handbaggers with fight to remain relevant in a season where they will use the lights out of Danger and burn him out. Leppa’s boys? Well they will run around, kick a few and handball to each other but really, all they will be doing is sorting the poos. (going through the motions)

Prediction: Handbaggers to ride danger home once more.

Another one D&Ded.
