For someone who is supposed to be the experience backmen in the Suns side, Warnock makes an awful lot of stupid mistakes. Been woeful for them so far this season

Had nothing left after we came back from 7 goals down to hit the lead. Disappointing.

Was at the game as I always am for Dreamtime. Great atmosphere.

Just ordered some pizzas, grabbing some Vodka, to kick back and watch a superb afternoon of footy

What an afternoon

The worst thing about this drubbing is that it will only encourage Meathead Voss to continue to play Merrett forward

You build a team on defence, and Voss pops our All-Aus defender in the forward line

Crows looking more and more like the real deal.

Strange season really. It seems to go according to the book in many ways, but equally seems really open. Hawks & Pies are probably still the most likely to, but WCE are right up there too. Adelaide are holding their hands up now, Sydney and the Bombers have too in recent rounds, Carlton will be top 8 but look to be doing their "flattering to deceive" thing and I'm not writing the Cats off yet either.

Saints, Freo and North all have finals ambitions as well but don't see a GF winner there.

Round Eight Tipping Update

Back to easy street on the tipping front. Only real difference of opinion was on Collingwood/Geelong where Benchy and Johnners fancied the Cats & Norway CBA.

Elsewhere Spikey's "Home team + Bombers + Team playing GWS" formula pays dividends as he's the only one to call the Port win and one of our number correctly took the Crows to win at Docklands. :cool:

Weekly

Brumby 8
Spikey 8
Jono 7
skd 7
morgie 7
howard 7
altoz 7
HDS 7

Weekly .01s to Spikey and me then. I move back above the Bench and level with morgie in a share of third & Heef pulls clear of Johnners into outright eighth.

North aren't making finals unless something dramatically turns around. Can't believe they've blown it in a season with an amazing draw and that win over the Cats which was a great bonus. Not sure what's going on at Arden Street

Not even poking fun at Benchy here either because I know exactly how it feels when your side has the talent to win games but is just not performing for one reason or another and losing games to sides below it. It's ****ing frustrating.

Meanwhile stand by my comment that Blues are bigger pretenders than Sydney. Can't believe them over the last two weeks.

EDIT: P.s, Schulz wafc. Does this **** at Port when he was fairly duddish for us, so frustrating.

Serious question here folks. Why does the afl award 4 points for a victory and 2 for a draw? Is there ever a way a team could finish on an odd number of points?
