Round Eighteen – Uninspiring

18/07/2014 By EASY TIGER Leave a Comment

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.

Round Seventeen – Upset round

11/07/2014 By EASY TIGER Leave a Comment

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.

Round Sixteen – Knot shore

03/07/2014 By EASY TIGER Leave a Comment

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

Round Fifteen – A little alliteration

25/06/2014 By EASY TIGER Leave a Comment

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.

Round Fourteen – Negotiations

19/06/2014 By Chris Leave a Comment

TIGGEERRRSS to get “the nod” against Swans. Tigers come to the bargaining table on Friday nite
determined to negotiate critical concessions from their opponents. Hopefully enough to sing about.

PORT to pepper the Bulldogs. Unfortunately all the Power is on one side of the negotiating table

HAWKS and the Pies. There may be dialogue, but there will be no negotiation

Suns and the CATS. The Geelong cartel is well established, this game is just a formal courtesy.
The Suns grip on their first finals appearance is becoming a little hard on the finger nails.

FREEO to slay the Lions. Procedures and protocols in place. An ugly straight forward victory.

Bombers arm wrestle with CROWS. Mediation is not an option. Too late for that.
Both have an uphill run home, so every hard fort ‘give and take’ has import.

Giants take on the BLUES. The gap between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have nots’ is too wide a gulf.

St Kilda and the EAGLES. These two teams should arrive at a quick settlement of the matter

Demons to challenge the KANGAROOS. Roos will need to be good enough as the Dees drive a hard bargain and will givem nothing

Round Thirteen lucky 13 unlucky

11/06/2014 By Chris Leave a Comment

Blues to be swampped by the HAWKS. Traditionally there are thirteen steps leading up to the gallows.

TIGGEERRRSS to whin over Freeo. In numerology 12 represents perfection and completion. So trying to improve by adding an extra digit is a very bad idea. Tigers are 13th on the ladder.

SWANS ampersand Port. There is a Norse legend that has 12 gods sitting at a banquet when the 13th God – Loki – showed up.
In the ensuing mayhem a lot of the Gods got it in the neck.

EAGLES outdo the Gold Coast Suns. If you have 13 letters in your name you are bound to have the devils luck.

Lions wrestle with GIANTS. Kids officially become teenagers at 13. We all know that that is bloody scary.

CROWS to peckerate the Kangaroos. In olden days a witches Coven had exactly 13 members.

CATS to whine by 13 goals over the Saints. In the English language number 13 is the first compound number. True

PIES to put a leash on the Bulldogs and lead them around the park. Apollo 13 is the only unsuccessful moon mission.

BOMBERS trackle the Dees. According to Spongebob Squarepants there is 13 dirty words. More if you’re a sailor.

Round Twelve – Keep It Going

05/06/2014 By EASY TIGER Leave a Comment

CATS have the initial velocity to “push and shove” their way through the Blues who seem to lack any “fire in the belly”

HAWKS have the ‘whatever it takes’ attitude to ‘blow off’ any forward thrust by the Eagles

PORT possess the ‘driving power’ to ‘put the breaks on’ the “haven’t won for a while” Saints.

BULLDOGS collide with the Lions. Depends who brings enough Gumption and elbow grease to clean up

GWS will be blown asunder by the BOMBERS who will just “get up and go”

Suns to be clouted by the SWANS. If Suns are in front at the end of the 4th Qtr they are a chance to win.
But there is more chance the artic will freeze over than that happening soon.

FREEO are trying hard to maintain their Impetus, but so are the Crows. Bring a gun midfield or you will finish midfield

Kangaroos and TIGGERRRSSS. After last weeks calumny the Tigers need to show that they have “the right stuff”,
or any stuff or even that they give a stuff.

Demons and the PIES. The Dees are building up some good Momentum but the Pies have up a ‘full head of steam’ and will be hard to deflect.

Round Eleven – Time to Dream

28/05/2014 By Dugald Leave a Comment

SWANS to mug the Cats. In “virtual reality”, aka fantasy points, Swans – 14,456 and Cats – 14,510. The real world is a bit different and the SCG is no “‘fool’s paradise”.

St Kilda to unbeat the PIES. Any “hopes” saints supporters have of victory is just “pie in the sky”.

Melbourne and PORT. We all “aspire” but only one team has a “trance” of winning this one.

Lions to cop a flogging from the BLUES. If wishes were fishes the stands would be full. Are I dreaming. Chris Yarran is leading the Blues goal kicking with 12 ?? Forward line what forward line.

Bombers to lose to the TIGGERRRSSSS. Red and black and yellow are the colours of the indigenous flag. Preseason both teams dreamed of making the finals, but results have been a huge wake up call to both.

ADELAIDE to overcome the Suns. The suns are building “castles in the air’ after at beating lesser teams their “reverie” will hit the hard elbow of reality this week.

Bulldogs will have no room to move playing with FREEO. If shoes were clues, the doggies would be barefoot.

HAWKS to continue the nightmare for GWS. Who will kick eleven this week. When you start your nearly coleman winning FF at CHB it crosses the thin line between illusion and delusion.

Eagles tackle the KANGAROOS. I “fancy” the Roos because they have bested better teams

Round Ten – It’s a bit fishy

22/05/2014 By Chris Leave a Comment

GEELONG will be smotherring the Kangaroos. The Cats are tailor made for this.
Some may be tempted to pick the erratic kangas, but you couldn’t be mor wong

GreWS and the wounded TIGGERRRSSS. Giants are moddy coddled. This not a game of grab ass

Tigers are floundering, and fans want a head on a pike as the coach tries to fix the disposal monkey.

PIES and Eagles. The local wahoo Joffa should be able to put on his leather jacket early in this one.
The Eagles will need to shake a leg to snap performance issues

PORT and Hawks. I feel that after this session Port will be the sole team on top of the perch
The injury raddled hawks, may have roughy but they got no plaice to hide

SUNS in a complet rout against the Bulldogs. For the Suns it should be a macabre amount of goals.
The doggies are just not good enough to disturb other teams game plans

Blues will be sushi for the CROWS Carlton need to get their skates on or
Tex the big mullet head will feast on undersized blue fin tuna and kick scads of goals
