AFL: Round 14

[PAWAQATSI]

:scared holey-moley......system goes two for two with Carlton staying within the number without the Big Fev playing!!
Didn't help me though as I stayed away from it.

Could this be the phoenix rising from the ashes?? :shrug:
The answer could be in the Saints / Port game tomorrow.

I hear that The West Coast Eagles have had their 1994 Premiership team reunion this week. This could just be the spur that can drive them on to victory over the visiting Geelong team.
Eagles 1-39 looks the go.

Brisbane by 40+ tonight in the other game versus Richmond (provided they don't take their foot off the gas in the second half)

Raining in Perth....Conditions definately favour Geelong.

The Mech might be back, PAWA....$$ coming in on Port too....Into +3.5 @ Canbet.

Only other play for me will be Melbourne -7.5 if conditions are ok @ gametime.

Tipped Eagles, and see bomber and beast on them...Hope they get up.

Launceston weather update:

Actually a fine, sunny, still day.....Having said that I'm not sure what kind of condition the ground is going to be in.
Put it this way...Last weekend the horse racing had to be moved to Hobart because the track was too wet....It's rained every day since, and last night thee was an hour of THE heaviest rain I think I have ever heard!!
Having said all that, I know the ground does drain incredibly well, so I doubt there will be any mud, but it will almost certainly be slippery underfoot.

Waiting for a total on this game, I suspect it will be low scoring no matter what the conditions.

beast...Don't do it. DO NOT put good $$ on the Bulldogs. I can honestly say I think Freo is the best bet I have seen for a couple of rounds. They are into 1.85 in most places here, but still available @ 2.02 if youlook hard enough.

Thanx for the weather update MrC.

Taking the Port line for a good bite plus a some on the Under39.5

If the system can get its 'hat-trick' for the weekend, things could be looking up.

 

[MrChristo]

Weather looks great in Adelaide....maybe a little windy, but no rain is the thing I was mainly concerned with.

Playing Melbourne -8.5

Ground VERY wet @ York Park....Will get chopped up and muddy.
Got no idea who it favours, but BIG $$ in on Port....game down to evens!!!!

 

[bombercoops]

Well, good to see the eagles scrap a win last night for a few of us. The $$ was certainly needed until the crows fired up for their new coach today against the dees! I guess there a good outfit that has been constantly under-achieving this year so they had to come good sooner or later. Might be a team to watch with caution as the season draws to a close. I'm sure you were happy with the win beasty!

 

[PAWAQATSI]

The system has awoken and bags the big 3!!! It might be time to get out the oil can and fire her up again for next week.

Has been a good weekend for a change.
F1, tennis and soccer to top it off tonight.

A big weekend of sport.

 

[bombercoops]

Just a matter of time until the express found the right tracks and cruised to a more than successful weekend mate. I can hear you shining her up from Brissy for next weekend! Good to see :clap:

 

[MrChristo]

I can hear you shining her up from Brissy for next weekend! Good to see :clap:

Piss of would ya bomber! :142lmao:

As if one (highly predictable) big loss isn't enough!!....Besides, we know Brisbane play to the level of their opposition...I hope! :scared

Anyway...Good win by Freo gets the multi home....Melbourne were TERRIBLE!!

33-27 (+8.34) for the season.

I watched Wonders of the Industrial World tonight PAWA...It was on the trans-American railway....Gotta be a sign to get the big girl back on the tracks

Round 14: 2-1

Was thrilled with the way the Crows played today, especially some of the younger players. Never expected to win by 12 goals as I had tipped Melbourne to win. I have given up trying to predict what Adelaide will do as too many times this year when I think they will perform they don't and when I expect nothing they come out and play like they did today.

Christo, I should have listened to you with the Bulldogs play. Watching the score I once again noticed they struggled to kick straight in the first half, not that that was the sole reason they lost. Do they actually practice kicking at training?

At least Port won easily but has the St Kilda bubble burst? They have lost 3 out of there last 4 and the sole win was against Hawthorn who don't look like they will win again this year.

[PAWAQATSI]

Suffice to say Beasty that we should all stay away from Adelaide games altogether!!!

A good effort by your boys.

 

[bombercoops]

Christo, you took my comment out of context mate. What i meant was that I could hear the express warming up for an assault on next weekends fixture and getting back to its winning ways, not the bulldogs/brisbane game mate. By the way, might head out and see that one next sunday if there's not much going on up here. Also, thanks for steering me away from the saints game yesterday and it was good to walk away from the weekend with a 1-1 record as opposed to a 1-2 record.

 

[MrChristo]

Nothing to do with poor kicking for goal, beast (although it doesn't help, obviously!). Unfortuantely it is what the majority of our supporters (and football public) believe is our problem....And it's hiding the REAL reason we are terrible....A total lack of accountablity and defense.

St. Kilda really struggling out-doors!! Never seen anything like it!....Melbourne currently fav's for next week's game too!!

 

[PAWAQATSI]

Probably worth getting on Melbourne early this week before the Saints lose anyone at the tribunal and considering the Demons recent run of victories against em in the past.

Played outside.....Demon's odds can only come in.
