Pies, Cats & Roos. My 3 winners this week.

 

[cobl04]

Some bloke put $5 on Cloke, Pods and Jack Riewoldt to kick first goal, and the Swans/Freo game to be drawn at the end of any quarter. Paid $4536. He won $22,689.

Didn't know this until now!

Western Bulldogs forward Barry Hall announces retirement | Herald Sun

Finally he can focus on boxing! Staker wants a rematch!

 

[The Sad Punk]

Guess it was bound to happen. He kicked his 100th Dogs goal on the weekend if I'm not mistaken, making him the only player to ever kick 100+ goals each for three different clubs. edit: Oh, that's in the article. lolo

I've always liked ol' B.B.B.B.B.B.B.B. I think his hit on Staker was the highlight of our downtime.

You think Bye vs. Port will be a blow-out, Bonster?

[Slopsy]

Just checking in quickly to make my picks:

St Kilda vs Adelaide
North Melbourne vs kind of tempted to pick the Lions instead
Sydney vs Dogs
Gold Coast oh shit vs Collingwood gonna rape 'em
Essendon vs Carlton
Geelong vs Tigers
Melbourne vs Hawthorn
Freo vs West Coast

And I see I've already been beaten to picking the Bye in its match-up against Port. It'll win by about 50 or 60, I reckon.

 

[Slopsy]

Woops, this is Ax.

Charlotte says that she expects credit for the picks though! But only if they are right.

 

[cobl04]

My mate's in the Nissan Navara Power Seats tonight. He's a wanker, so it will be interesting to see if he arks up or goes into his shell.

 

[cobl04]

Fuck I hate Damien Barrett.

Brodie Holland said on his web TV show he had money on Goldsack for first goal in the granny (kicked it) and Purple Headed Warrior reckons that's a story

 

[cobl04]

Street talk from wezza hahahaha

 

[bono_212]

Woops, this is Ax.

Charlotte says that she expects credit for the picks though! But only if they are right.

I was a bit confused!

 

[cobl04]

That was my mate on the left. We all waited up and he didn't even get to speak. And the story was bullshit too

 

[Axver]

So I see Brisbane's lost Jonathon Brown for the season? Guess they won't have any more wins then.

: double-checks that this is actually his account :

[The Sad Punk]

Holy hell, Vlad's gonna be pissed.

 

[The Sad Punk]

btw I just need to get something off my chest about yet another stupid, if "well-meaning" article on AFL.com.

https://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/118803/default.aspx

Just think about Nic Naitanui and then think how much more exciting the AFL would be with another 10 of him running around. With the right support it will happen.

Because apparently race completely dictates exactly what kind of player you'll be. That's why all white guys play like Gary Ablett and all aboriginal guys play like Adam Goodes, right? They don't? Oh.

 

[cobl04]

Crazy result tonight. Had the Saints in my multi though so sall good.

Have to disagree with you there though. I know where you're coming from but the author wouldn't have had his race in his mind, in my opinion.

The whole "abo magic" thing is a bit off-colour though.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Holy hell, Vlad's gonna be pissed.

Meh, not really. Didn't watch it, couldn't care less about the result. I'm numb to the pain.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Just saw the result. It has no emotional effect on me, my non-interest in football of late is a good thing, doesn't spoil my weekends when we lose.

 

[cobl04]

Can't see Craig David keeping his job now. Port with a huge chance next week.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Port are even worse than us, you don't need to dig it in, Cobbler. I don't ever remember doing it to you when your team had its losses.
