Stuff about football & community & belonging
SWANNIES
Or if you prefer the South Melbourne Football Club, The Foreign Legion, The Bondi Billionaires, The Cecil Street Heros, The Bloodstained Angels, The Albert Park Barracks Team, The Bloods, Cazalies, Sydney Swans or the Lakers,
HAWKS
Aka Kennedies Kommandos, the Mayflowers, (very nearly the Melbourne Hawks), The Hawthorn Football Club, Kennetts Kids, Hawthorn City Football Club, Riversdale Football Club,
EASY TIGER
SWANS to “venire, videre, and vincere” the Kangaroos.
Hawkers are highly flavoured to win, but PORT have “a fortiori”,
EASY TIGER
The Cats versus the KANGAROOS
Half a game is never enough.
Freeo and PORT
Port have the wind behind them.
EASY TIGER
TIGERS should thrash the Bombers, fingers crossed. But as they say “one week at a time”.
Giants and KANGAROOS. Giants will get somewhere but as they say “Rome wasn’t built in a day”.
Blues to be burnt by the SUNS. “When your only tool is a hammer every problem looks like a nail”.
HAWKS will beat the Demons and just be “happy to get the four points”.
Port to get plummeted by the SWANS. As they say “We just stuck to our game plan as a playing group and the talls stood up”.
CATS and Freo. As they say “You don’t rise to the occasion, you sink to your level of training”.
Lions to play the CROWS. As they say “We knew they would come out hard but we just took our chances”.
Saints undone by the BULLDOGS. “They’ve just got to go out there and play four quarters of footy”
Eagles is a real doozy with the PIES. As they say “hunger is the best sauce”.
EASY TIGER
FREEO by ten goals over the Blues. After their last abysmal effort Freeo will be very keen to raise their percentage this week, to squeak a chance at top two.
SWANS to go hard against the Bombers. Swans need to win and win well to remain in top posit
CROWS to overbeat the Eagles. Crows finally made the eight, now they fight to stay there
TIGERS should thrash the young Giants. But I am worried about the big C. C-C-Complacency
Suns undone by SAINTS. Both have their share of the good, the bad and the downright ugly, but based on last game form, and that the Saints owe them one.
Kangaroos in a personal rivalry with the CATS. I only picked the Cats because I like the look of the coach.
DEMONS and Lions. Partly a gut feeling, but mostly just sympathy
HAWKS to good for Bulldogs. Hawks chasing percentage, but last week could have taken a toll.
Pies to be shaded by PORT. For some fans this game is very black and white.
EASY TIGER
Eagles to be dustined by TIGGEERRRSSSS. I would bet my ex house on this one.
Lions to get burnt by the SUNS. Stand up boys and play like you mean it.
Hawks overwhelmed by SWANS Hope hawks can put on a better show than cats did
Pies in a knee trembler with the CROWS. The straightest and unblinkingest team will win.
– EASY TIGER
Carlton and the KANGAS The only excitement here will be if Juddy goes on Parkinson at half time to announce what we already knew. He is ( breathless pause ) retiring.
Saints will be checkmated in twelve moves by FREEO
Giants to be gammoned by the CATS Alas this is the only Saturday night game
PORTA to bid and make a small slam over Dees. Worth 8 imps
Bulldogs and the BOMBERS Should be a nail biter to finish off the weekend
Wait for it
Eagles no chance against “running into some belated form” TIGGEERRRSSSS. 4onthetrot
Lions play the SUNS. Suns playing for the pot. Fingers crossed the kids can stand up
Hawks and SWANS a depleted hawthorn playing the team that’s as hot as a phaal curry.
Pies and the CROWS. Who will stand tall and grab their chance with both mitts.
EASY TIGER
CROWS to Chris Mew on the Hawks. Just a gut feeling.
Crows are waxing and Hawks are wanning because of injuries and form lapses.
Demons and CATS Easy Peasy Catapleasy. Dees have made too many changes.
KANGAROOS kick the Saints. Saints are a bunch of burke a wills but you just never know, the Kangas sometimes have a barry crocker.
BULLDOGS are good enough to beat the Suns. In Cairns, so both are on the frog and toad.
Doogiess should kick enough sausage rolls and then will do the Harold Holt.
Lions to play the EAGLES . Toss a coin for this one but eagles should get enough through the hi diddle diddle.
SWANS playing with the Blues. If you pick blues you are on your pat malone.
TIGGERRSS to set up Port. An upset just weighting to happen. Will be hard yakka though.
BOMBERS play the Pies.
Will be a lot of froth and bubble but the team with the biggest jam tart should do it.
FREEO play GWS. Next please.
EASY TIGER
Roos and HAWKS The bookies say this is a sertainty, what say you unpredictable Kangas
TIGGERRRSSS are at very short priced favourites to beat the Lions.
Hard to understand Y because both teams have 4 wins for the season
Giants play favourite CROWS But Giants at lowest odds they have been all season. Just sayin
Suns at home are underdogs against PIES but I’m knot shore. Closest odds of all the games.
Dees in a close game with FREEO in TIO stadium Darwin. Dees are at very long odds
PORT at unbelievably short odds to beat the Bombers. Essendon at $4 plus is crazyness.
To place this in context the Giants are at shorter odds to beat the Crows.
The BLUES are red hot favs to overcome the Saints. I am baffled beyond belief
Both have lost their past 4 games and Blues got rolled by the Giants
Eagles are given no chance against the SWANS. Fair enough cus Swans are on a roll right now.
CATS are the shortest price of all this weekend against the Bulldogs. A bit cruel
EASY TIGER
GEELONG will grimace and groan as they grind their way to glory over the bombers.
HAWTHORN hard headed hecklers to hassle and humble the Huns.
Saints to be trounced by the TIGGEEEERRRSS in the tried and true tradition.
FREEO will flip flop fast when facing the free falling Eagles.
The sassy SWANS will slap the Giants silly.
Lions to be kaputed by the KANGAS who will repay in kind every kick and kerfuffle.
Bulldogs to be done by the DEES who will not Dilly Dally but dunk the dry donut and dream.
Crows to be crushed by the power of PORT who will pack a punch and play pretty perfect.
COLLINGWOOD will completely crush Carlton in a controlled car crash.
