Round 11

usual emotional pick against Collingwood, conviction plus emotion for Brisbane and Melbourne; consideration for the rest plus some one has to beat St Kilda and hope that this week might be it;

REB's scientific anal sis of this week's games...
----------------------------------------------------

PIES: Collingwood getting a few back and getting a bit of a sniff. Perhaps now some of em will realise how bad they smell and take a bath. Egirls players will try to kick the ball to Glen Jakovich in the stands and realise too late that he has actually retired.

BOMBERS: Matty Lloyd will be looked after by his mates (the maggots) against a woeful Hawk backline. It could get ugly. Brown paper bags for Lloydy's horse-like head can be purchased at the nearby market...and he'd still get a kick.

CROWS: Will win against Carlton because they have a big bloke in the forward line and have less than six players out so the Blues no chance. Get ready for the numbnuts Blackbirds administration to parade around the place like Peacocks loudly proclaiming thier season is back on track.

GORILLAS: The Power will be treating this game like a final, thus giving the Lie-Ins a walk up start. Tredrea will get a goal in the first minutes of the game and spend the last three quarters of the match looking at himself on the scoreboard and won't get another kick. Mahoney to go back to the mediocrity from whence he came.

TIGERS: Danny Frawley will comprehensively outcoach Dean Laidley who doesn't see any of the action after his hand eats up his face in the first quarter. Surgeons are rushed in to cut some fingers off and Laidley proclaims that a win is now just around the corner now he has been digitally enchanced. Tiger talls to topple the Roos.

ST KILDA: The Saints lead by 11 goals to 1 at quarter time and no further goals are possible after the Saints heads grow so large that conveyance of the football is now impossible on the small SCG. Grant Thomas misses the plane to Sydney and sends his instructions to the players via smoke signal after putting all the clubs wooden spoons on a huge bonfire back at Moorabin.

CATS: Mark Thompson mischievously ties Brad Johnson's bootlaces together and makes him drink 700 bottles of that vile Lime Coke, rendering the star bulldog useless for the day. The Dogs field an understrength side after 11 players turn up at Geelong for the match, not realising that the match is at the Domeass.

DOCKERS: Melbourne are so jet lagged that they kick the ball to Jeff Farmer all day long and he responds with a haul of 2.11, thus keeping the D's in the game. Over a thousand spectators are drowned by the a flood of tears from whingers Connolly and Daniher which pours over the stands from the coaches box. Western Australian journos call this a watershed game for the Docks. Freo win the game and Demon officials are shattered when they come away without the 300k....and the points.

Too easy..

NEXT!!!

- Collingwood have four wins and seven losses and a mediocre percentage. Carlton have four wins and seven losses and a slightly worse percentage (about three and a half per cent, which can still be made up in one game, it equates to about 10 goals). Between now and R22 Collingwood play every side in the competition except St Kilda, the Roos, Adelaide and West Coast. Carlton play everybody except St Kilda, Brisbane, Adelaide and the WBs. The fact that Carlton are already shot of Bris for the year means they have the better draw. Both have players to return including the respective captains. Yet everybody is talking up Collingwood, but nobody (including me) rates Carlton as a finals prospect. Why is this so? It can't just be the suck-up-to-Eddie imperative.

- On the subject of Carlton - how the hell did THAT happen? Gaz, next time you buy a Saturday Age, rescue the employment bit before you dump the classifieds in the bin outside the newsagent's. Even if you don't need it yourself quite straight away, your old mate Schwabbie might like to borrow it.

- Who will be the first cloth-head to declare the St Kilda juggernaut is on the wobble ofter a catastrophic one loss in a row?

(P.S. Those are the initials of the most likely suspect.)

In 1980 journalists all over Melbourne went on strike for three weeks. Around this time Louie R was going through a bit of a mid-life crisis where he was trying to be taken seriously as a genuine football 'expert' and was jack of being seen as a clown who couldn't tip a winner. During those three weeks he didn't have to put his tips into the paper Lou tipped 17 winners out of a possible 18, which he never missed reminding people about for the rest of the season.

On League Teams one night towards the end of the season, Jack turned to Lou and said:

'Yeah yeah, 17 out of 18, big deal. The papers were on strike, nobody knows what you tipped, you made your selections Sunday morning and STILL somehow got one wrong!'

Nice effort by your mob on saturday, brought joy to my heart.

Then the reality of saturday night, i think port power are the graham hick of footy, flat track bullies, beat the crap easily but when up against the best, as weak as piss, for gods sake port sack that idiot chocko, back and forwards, across and back, go the new game plan. WTF happened to the syle of last week

REB, we as supporters expect better and thats why we have been thr best side in the SANFL for 100 years is because we dont put up with the crap we play when its quality opposition, we expect better. Listening to the radio afterwards people were saying it was a good effort, pisspoor if u ask me, really was a 60 point loss except for a couple of lunchtime goals at the end

Fevola could be the new Richo!

REB
