Som e ordinary footy out there.

Hill, Rioli and smith have had no influence at all

Will be a very close finish with the winner coming in the last couple of minutes and everyone will proclaim that this is the pinnacle of footy, disregarding the pretty average first three quarters.

Hill and Rioli unsighted today.

Why the **** did I pick Hawthorn, sure went down the toilet with that round of tipping.

Well, I enjoyed that Hawks/Geelong game. The swooning over Rioli despite the fact that he did sweet FA is bloody annoying, but I'm used to it now. I now he can break games open in a flurry of skill and creativity, but he really is over-rated as a complete footballer. I reckon I could pick two teams of players that wouldn't have him in it.*

Anyway, as annoying as this weekend has been in some ways, that Cats win makes it 8 out of 9 for my tipping (yes I didn't tip us to win in Sydney, I knew Sydney would lift and had them as slight favourites despite the official odds etc.), so that's not too bad given the only one I got wrong was the Dons upset.


* OK, maybe slight overstatement, might have to think that one through first :).

Geelong had 15 goals from 53 inside 50s (28%). Against Sydney we had 9 goals from from 48 (18%). In the GF we kicked 8 goals from 44 i50s (18%). Hawthorn had 45 (just one more than us) but kicked 3 more goals (25%).

That's why we can't beat Hawthorn.

For a top 4 side our forward structure is very bad. We rely on smashing the opponent at contested ball to win. In a relatively even game (like vs Sydney on the weekend), we regularly lose.

Could be worse, you could have tipped Brisbane, WB, Freo, Essendon AND Hawthorn.... This is my worst season of tipping in about 10 years.
Same apart from Brisbane, changed to Freo just before the game.
