A few interesting games this round, well for me anyway.

Freo v North
GWS v Crows
Hawks v Swans
Even Bombers v Lions

Plus how good will it be if Carlton get smashed tonight.

Add Richmond V Port which should be a good game too. Looking forward to plenty of arse parked on the couch time this weekend.

So Scum get Smashed tonight. Then MM is good as Sacked?

Not sure they will sack him. They have repeatedly said that he will coach to the end of the year. Which might prove entertaining at least. Tonight just another nail in the coffin though hopefully

Oh, Daisy. Poor Daisy. It's beyond embarrassing for him now. He's kind of like Theon Grayjoy from Game Of Thrones - yeah, he did something really, really stupid and forced us to hate him. He made himself our enemy. And he got his comeuppance, and we all got to laugh at him foundering around as the Blues lost game after game after game, and he put in more and more pitiful appearances, little 12 possession games filled with clangers, blunders and downright embarrassing mistakes.

So we smiled, and giggled, and laughed contently to ourselves, as the favourite son turned traitor, the man who walked out on the club for pastures greener, fell lower, and lower, and lower still, punished time and time again for his errors, mercilessly driven to the point of despair by the football gods.

And it was sweet.

But then it kept going.

And going.

And... well it's becoming ridiculous. He does his shoulder 30 seconds into the year by staging for a free kick. Then the Blues start falling apart, reaching now their lowest ebb in memory - which is nothing short of breathtaking considering how bad they've been over the past decade and a half. And still he's forced to run around like a headless chook, seemingly having never played the game before, let alone having been the competition's most dangerous player only four short years ago. Each week his skills drop off even further, the depths of humiliation falling ever deeper as the season crawls onwards, at a snails pace, the inescapable burden of next week's indignity and disgrace weighing ever heavier around his weakened neck.

And then I realise - he's not Daisy anymore. He's been humiliated beyond his previous persona. He's had the life beaten well and truly out of him by now. He's not even a shell of a man. He's below that. The identity of Daisy has long since vanished.

He isn't Daisy. He's Reek.

Beautiful piece of writing.
 
Selwood is all class. Going and hitting players away from the play.

Such a contrast to other captains and ours. Bit embarrassing how no one dares mention the thuggery of Geelongs mighty courageous leader in the commentary team :rolleyes:
