The bottom teams are pretty bloody good this year...
GWS - sitting at the bottom, but they are giving plenty of teams a big scare, and could have easily a few more games...
Saints - if they are on fire, and you aren't at your best, they will get the 4 points.
Lions - they are running into some form, and starting too look half dangerous.
Demons - getting very competitive now. Watch out Pies, come Monday. Dees have played very well on Queens Birthday Weekend lately...
Coming Up...
Suns - Swans, Eagles, Cats, Hawks, Pies... This will be a seriously good test for The Suns... But a few of those at Metricon, plus a trip to Tassie for the Hawks... (speaking of which, where's Tassie Devil!)
Next Saturday Arvo, SCG, Swans v Port... Should be a belter.
Port will get a bit of a test, in the last 5 rounds - Pies, Swans, Suns (at Metricon), Blues, Freeo at Subiaco.
Hawks have a test for the final 3 rounds.... - Freeo at Subiaco, hosting Cats at MCG, then Pies host Hawks at MCG.
Cats can/will finish Top 4, in my opinion...
Our next batch of games... Saints, Gold Coast (at Metricon), Bombers, Dogs, Demons, Giants. That should be 4 or 5 wins.
Then North, Freeo (in Geelong), Blues, Hawks, Lions. That should be 3 wins...
We've won 8, and should get at least 7 more. 15 wins.
I think we will play at least 2 finals, but probably get beaten in a Prelim... Port to also get beaten in a Prelim...
My Grand Final Tip - Hawks v Swans, and Swans getting another Premiership... Perhaps Buddy for Norm Smith! And to become a Triple Premiership Player at the age of 27.
Swans are $3.50 for Premiers, and Hawks $4.00.
Ablett is $1.70 for the Brownlow!
I got $9 for the Swans just a few weeks back Simondo - bargain ! Lots of fun for the spoon this year
Should be an interesting game on Saturday arvo... Swans v Port, SCG. We get to see how Port stand up to some pressure! ![]()
Half session and only onto 4 pages ![]()

But Mac and Crispy they are quality pages though..
Not sure if I should say I'm happy with a Deemons loss but there was really no disgrace in that one, besides the woods had 100% more free kicks... grrrrr
As usual some top games happening, some crazy decisions from the match review panel, some consternation on the drug scandal, some big tits, and lots of media coverage...another good season...
Wingard or Howey for mark of the year..Howey hands down.so far
Swans for me all the way..
Should be an interesting game on Saturday arvo... Swans v Port, SCG. We get to see how Port stand up to some pressure! ![]()
I reckon Port will go with them for maybe a half then Sydney will turn the screws and belt them. Port will be better for it though, Hinkley will tell them and the media it was a lesson in 4 quarters of quality pressure footy, which is what they will be up against in Sept against Hawks, Freo, Geelong and against Sydney again.
Well grom man has gone missing for large periods of time.....this time all I can say is go the sun's....your cats are gone,along with your gloating and bragging![]()
ha ha ha Western Sydney might even beat them - although Carlton area bit of a soft touch these days. I tried to tell my good mate who is a mad Cats supporter earlier in the year that their time of reign had come to an end - much like Simondo he said something like "The Cat will be back" and "never knock the Cat we will be there at the end of the season" Well that is looking more unlikely as the year progresses. Those top 4 look like they will stay there.
Hi guys!
The Cats - yep, I think we will finish in the bottom half of the 8....! I hope Swans or Hawks win it... But, I'd love Gold Coast to make it into a Prelim Final, at least!
Gold Coast is now my 2nd team...!
Bombers / ASADA - it's time to freaking move on!!!
Not everyone agrees with me... But here's my reasoning;
1 - they weren't exactly Class A Performance Drugs. My 'thoughts' are Class B, through Class F !!
2 - it appears that the players were actually (kind of) tricked into thinking that there was nothing sinister about the injections. Even though the players could have investigated the injected substances further... ???
3 - my thoughts are that a 6 month ban would be appropriate. And in effect, that has already been served, in terms of being kicked out of the finals last year. Effectively, that took away the season... The whole point of the season, is to make the finals. And because they did make the finals, they worn that hefty punishment.
4 - The Club has been fined and sanctioned pretty heavily already...
Jonathan Brown = Total Legend! ![]()
Lucky guy, 3 Premierships, and the world-at-his-feet, still! It's the right time to stop. He has so many opportunities in front of him too... Coaching type role for the rest of the season. Then he can choose between Media, and an Assistant Coach role, or what ever...
Go Cats!
But yeah, we're only a Top 6 Team this year, not Top 4...
Back in 2008 I predicted that The Cats would be strong all the way through to 2013, and 2014 would be the start of a rebuild.
So all things considered, I think we are doing pretty good.
We only had about 6 x 2007 Premiership Players last night. So we've already had a big rebuild...
Yeah, Cats aren't too strong this year... We're just scraping through.
Freeo v Eagles - Derby 40 - I watched the last quarter... What a cracker of a Quarter! Eagles were brilliant, and then Dockers were brilliant! Well played, to both clubs!
This would be an epic win if the Suns can hold on,13 mins left
Shhhhhhhh don't jinx us ![]()
oh were from tigerrrr land , boom boom boom boom ................![]()
Quite possibly the worst afl game I have ever watched.....at least you won![]()
