Ugh, the fawning over Watson at the end of the game today was genuinely nauseating.

It's not sad to see him go at all. In fact, good riddance as it's another stain on the integrity of the game gone, and an important one at that as he was the person who led his team mates down the rabbit hole. The sooner all the culprits are out of the AFL the better.

And, as Lingy and co were calling him, champ? Come on, the guy played a solitary season of AFL that was above ok and even that was only because he was on PED's. He was a decent, ordinary, solid citizen type who wanted to be better and tried to get there by duping the competition. That's his legacy.

Very average Finals series so far, largely due to the teams being extremely average with only a couple of exceptions. Hopefully tonight's game is at least close.
I actually didn't mind the Richmond/Geelong game. It was filled with a lot of horrible skills and I dislike both teams, but it was intense and had that finals atmosphere.

Adelaide game was also good in that it raised a lot more questions for the rest of the finals series, and seeing GWS get smacked into next week (literally).

Didn't bother with the early game today as the result was painfully bloody obvious.

You are right in that the finals series is very underwhelming though. The standard is quite low on average.

He might be a great bloke and probably does make a very good latte, but he is a player who won the Brownlow and then lost it for being a drug cheat. FFS. Good riddance.

Sunday Footy Show did a segment this morning where they received a letter from a fan.

Barely a sentence was grammatically correct, and I actually thought it might have been from a handicapped fan the way it was written.

Nope. Just a tigers supporter.

I'm horrified at my realisation that Richmond has a very good chance of taking out the whole thing.
Me too, although I'm telling myself I've got through the 5 stages between Friday and yesterday morning:
Denial: Scoffed because that’s how I roll. It’s Richmond FFS.
Anger: Bypassed this. Morse was laughter because of Denial.
Bargaining: Tipped them to win on Friday, but said they’d never get over Port in a Prelim. Nekminit……
Depression: Thought about Adelaide playing a final away from Adelaide Oval. Contacted loved ones and stocked the bunker aka garage fridge.
Acceptance: Convinced they will win. Have moved on to alphabetising my CD collection.

I went straight into depression because I realised no one will beat them at home.

It is a scary thought. After last year anything can happen. The attack of the smalls clearly holds up in finals and it caused sydney all sorts of trouble in the GF last year.

But i know deep down that when hardwick rests his head on his pillow at night he wishes he could swap lists with North. Bunch of plodders + Martin. Shit, i forgot the king of defending Alex Rance. I mean what a guy, only he could keep harry taylor to one goal...poor man's tarrant.
