Well my tip of Freo beating Sydney looks in tatters. Michael Johnson out and Mcpharlin still out means Buddy is going to give Zac Dawson a bath.

Plus the Sydney ins arent half bad - Kennedy, McGlynn, Buddy , Pyke and Bird

Sydney's ins this week put a real asterisk next to Richmond's victory last week. And they still only lost by 3 points despite resting Franklin, Kennedy, McGlynn, Pike and Bird and going half-arsed for the majority.
Feeling more and more confident about this week with every day.

Well that's just it.

If just Buddy misses that wretched sliding doors game at the SCG we win by a minimum of 3-4 goals given he went full Globetrotter Mode.

That's game, set and match. If your rebounding defence isn't slicker than the Valdez, Sydney has you covered.

Looks like Walshy and Tyson Edwards are already sussing out who is going to break the Subiaco lines following halftime.

Yep.

I know we talk about players who can pick their team up and drag them over the line by themselves, but seeing it actually happen is incredibly rare.

Buddy in that game was the equivalent of the famous Warmachine vs Richmond game where 43 players seemed intent on getting Richmond over the line but He would not be denied. Any questions I had in my mind about Buddy being a genuine champion of the game were erased during that last quarter.

Upset my North Adelaide mate at work this morning. He held up his red and white tie, and announced, "I spilled chocolate sauce on this last night." I replied, "Well that would have improved it." If looks could kill......

Buddy is a FREAK of a player. He has had some lulls, but he is now entering his prime....

You should have said, "I assumed you must have run out of toilet paper".

The Age reporting Ryder to Brisbane for pick 20...

The Age reporting Ryder to Brisbane for pick 20...

Would save the Bombers embarrassment if true but I'm not giving up pick 20 for a player I can get for nothing if I'm Brisbane. If Paddy invokes the clause that allows him to leave as a free agent it also resolves the issue with ASADA and gives Brisbane certainty in his future as a player?

It's Perth airport. Worst airport in any major Australian city. Their dot matrix printer probably ran out of ink and the ground staff probably couldn't be bothered fixing it.

Yeah our flight out of Perth airport after the weekends game was delayed two hours tuesday night. Probably shouldn't have spent so long in the bar with people we met heading back to Adelaide with us.

Everyone sobered up pretty quickly once the airport police arrived.


I think it may have been the singing that did it.

I agree with this but Darwin airport is certainly throwing down the challenge. And if you think it's only Perth domestic, you would be wrong. Perth Int'l is shocking. An absolutely crap start and finish to any overseas trip.

Ahh Perth airport. Always a construction site, never actually improving.

Gained a lot of respect for him after the second game at Adelaide Oval. He doesn't give a single **** about what anyone says about him and just keeps doing his thing. One of my favourite players outside of Port.

Tex Wanganeen to don prison bars as junior mascot on Sunday

"Tex Wanganeen, 10, will pull on the club's famous guernsey before running onto the Adelaide Oval with Travis Boak and the rest of the Power's line-up on Sunday afternoon."

The kid's only 10 years old, I thought he was a few years older than that. Why the heck is everyone going nuts about F/S with him when it's still 7-8 years away? He probably hasn't even perfected the art of wiping his own arse let alone playing footy.

Haha! Awesome.

Sowing the seeds for if, on the off-chance, he's half as good as his old man.

"Half as good as dad" is still a pretty damn good AFL footballer...

This deserves more than a like so I quoted too

Great photo opportunity for when Boaky retires and Tex walks him off the ground for the last time.

I'm still hoping Halle Tredrea has the reassignment so she can go full dynasty with Leo and Nate.

Because he falls into the fun club of duel F/S from Port

Gavin Wanganeen - Port Adelaide / Essendon
Shaun Burgoyne - Port / Hawthorn
Danyle Pearce* - Port / Fremantle
Troy Chaplin* - Port / Richmond
Matt White* - Port / Richmond

I think there's a few more


* Potential father-sons.

 

[LFC2010]

I bet the AFL or ( should I say VFL) change the F/S rules between now and when ever tex is ready so it suits Essendon more.

Nick Stevens and Darryl Wakelin. Oh and Paxman.

Not sure Nick Stevens is quite going about procreating in the right way.
