At Least I Saw a Flag

I was at the game ... WOW !!! I think there should have been more mention of Harmes' game. He was (like the usual suspects) fantastic. Also, Hibbo did a great job on Cameron. Hopefully we back up against the Crows. The Lions are woefully out of form. Their midfield (sans Bailey/Zorko, and perhaps even if they played) is not in the same league as our boys. And their tall forwards are very flakey. We match up very well against this side; hopefully we play them in the finals. Freo (obviously), Jee-long and Richmond pose more of a threat. I think we've got the Swans, Carlton and Bulldogs covered.

Injuries to key players ...

No lawyers ... or guns .... or money?

Wow .... that's awesome. A true legend ... RIP. Not quite the same, but I had an awesome experience on Friday night. Went to a corporate function (CEO was retiring) at Crown Palladium, 800 there ... they had a special surprise guest. The CEO told everyone to get on the dance floor. Then doors behind him opened ... It was Robbie Williams, with full band/dancers!! At first I thought it was an impersonator, but no ... it was actually Robbie Williams! Flew out especially for the private show. Even Triplechins (MC for the night) was on the dancefloor, and was videoing the show. I'm still in shock.

Has he actually admitted guilt? Lisa Wilkinson says hi.

Shame there were no AFL/VFL players with the surnames Wakeman, Emerson, Argent or Rolie! But how could you not include any of the Lord boys in deference/with reference to the late, great Jon Lord !!!!

I wish Preuss was still on our list.

What do you think of Weightman? 5 goals to half time ... no free kicks either.

GWS v Doggins ... entertaining match. It's a goalfest, virtually no defence by either side.

Hmm, I just put some money on the Gorillas. (Considerably less than a gorilla though.)

Of course it was.

As I've posted several times before, I don't understand why the commentators don't call this out. More relevant than most of their air filling. AFL directive not to criticise umpires?

The starting odds for the Swans ($4.20) and the filth ($4) offered by Sportsbet were ridiculously generous. The odds reduced in the following days. I put money on both these sides, and won a tidy sum. Or should that be tidy sums? Having said that, I would have preferred to lose my money by seeing the Dees win. I never bet on the Dees ... if they lost it would feel like I was punished twice.

I have totally avoided all replays + football shows since Monday. Can't stand hearing about our apparent demise, and the rise of the filth. Will probably continue to do so until the Brisbane match.

Oh no ... 4 - 6 !!!

Hmm, has anyone considered we may be loading? 🤔

I think seeing the filth lose is almost as good as seeing the Dees win. And the reverse is also true.

Hunt played forward a few years ago, and wasn't bad. He does at least compete, led pretty well and was an OK kick for goal. Perhaps worth another go there? I think Chandler is a bust. Tommo was a disaster on the wing and up forward. Too many players are underdone ... Salem/Langdon/Hibberd/Petracca/Lever. (Hibbert came off after 5 minutes in Q1 and was gassed! He did well having regard to that.) The second/third tier players have been found wanting when the A graders weren't dominating - ANB, Spargo, Sparrow, Harmes, Bowey.

Socceroos win penalty shootout v Peru and through to World Cup Finals. Socceroos need to find a way (or ways) to actually score goals in open play.

This thread heading didn't age well ....

Hmm, the only thing enjoyable about that match was loading up on the filth @ $4. A few problems .... injuries, marked drop in skill level - fumbling, missing targets, failing to make a contest in the air, let alone take contested marks, players woefully out of form. I hate the filth.

Are you the man on the telly? P.S. I love Viz.
