The Penultimate Round!

Troll! The real LL would never tip Collingwood, nor refer to them by any name other than Eddiewood...

TROLL!

:)

Port, Fuchsias, Cats, Swans, Roos, Lions, Hawks, Wet Toast

Sun 22 Aug
Bris Lions v St Kilda - Lions by 10 goals
Hawthorn v Richmond - Tigers to beat the rabble
Fremantle v West Coast - The game that nobody cares about.

MELB - although their form is wobbling. Houlihan has been axed and may be headed for the AFL version of eBay. Andrew Carazzo (nickname Crazy? Carrots? Karate?) in for first game

GEEL - Maclure has just picked the MOTN and I know where he's coming from, but Thommo's mob have already been thru the 'small game between two big ones' thing with Richmond and Carlton

SYDNEY - Nice one v Pies Chrisso, now all the Sept Inst have to do to start convincing me is do it twice running

ROOS - Dogs have lost the lot and will be lucky to keep the margin in double figures

HAWTHORN - They're playing Richmond, although there is a similar argument to be made the other way. Am I the only one sick of all the argy-bargy about whether one side or the other gets pick 1 or pick 2....like as if it matters?????

ST KILDA - getting form and players back. Lions' MCG mudbath will have done little fot their form or their stamina, both coming under their most serious doubt since 2001

WEST COAST - playing too well to drop Derby No Whatever. If the Demons and Lions are wobbling, the Vulgar Boatmen have already wobbled

Hey Benno, this is Lucy Lion (not the TROLL) if you had check Round 20 I also tipped Collingwood.

COLLINGWOOD - although you can't trust Essendon to play the way you think they are going to

Not necessarily because I think they'll win but it will be better for the Lions if their opposition wins. You see Benno Collingwood, not even with creative accounting, will get into the Finals.

So it has nothing to do with wanting or liking or thinking Collingwood - Mr Ed's team - are any better than their opposition just a means to an end.

So as a once great man said "Dont Die with the Music in you" if you know what I mean!

LOL

SLUGPIES by 11pts
The Poower will suffer in their jocks and freeze faster than Jeff Farmer down at Cat Park at the very sight of the Empty G. Hopefully Tredrea will play so the (strengthened) Pies backline can smash him from pillar to Australia Post. Pies to deliver with Eddie Maguire making everyone with two eyes squirm in their seats.

DANIHURTS by 41pts
Carlscum are hella carp and this bounce back theory is starting to fall a little flat. How did they go against the F*ckedmantle Skiers at Craptus after copping their last hiding? No, it will be comeback time next week against the Slugpies to finish off a happy year for Mick Shithouse. Aaron Davey is back and he'll run lord of the rings around the ledden Bloos 'runners'. Neitz to kick a bag of sausage rolls.

COWS by 9pts
Oh no, I'm not falling for THIS one again. I have tipped the Catters on the road every time and I've been burnt once too often mes amis. Geelongtime will be another midfielder down this week and seeing as the Danihurts won't beat the Egirls at Putriaco next round it is one the good guys can afford to drop. If the Catters are going to break through interstate, we'll be doing it with Jimmy back (what a thug, fantastic decision by the lucky dip NOT)against those chokers the Poower. Useless gits like Perrie and Welsh seem to fire where Neitz, Hall and Lloyd have not. Stuffed if I can figure it out.

DIVE BOMBERS by 3pts
The Sydney Stoppers are a disgrace and last week's 'fantastic' win against a bewildered Melbourne was recorded as being the most exciting game of Rugby League of the year. Now that last week's emotion has died down these ugly ducklings have no chance of beating the Divers. Lloyd will get more frees in the first quarter than Bazza will get for the next three years and seeing as Lloyd kicks 25% of the Divers' goals they'll be in like Errol this week. I do admire Lloydy though..how the hell does he get to Whiney Hill from Athens so darn fast LOL.

RANKAPOOS by 57pts
The Poos will be to strong for the woefull (BAD DOGS) Bullfrogs side who are preparing for the Eade era by bringin in Lara Croft and Crushed Garlick in a move that is surely on the nose. After all, Eade made a Rod for his own back in his latter swan days by refusing to play the kids that kicked botty once Roosy got the gig. This is the only non-brainer of the round with the Poos too solid to be dropping this game to the frogs.

POORFORM by 13pts
As if Bitchmond know how to win a game! Every Tigger is playing to save their skins so they all try and kick it to the two blokes that they KNOW will be there, Nate Brown and Mathew Cryhardson. This lack of team cohesion will be their downfall against a side that is bonding well for coach McDonald. The Tiges will want to lose it more and this desire should keep the Dawks out of the kitchen and away from any unwanted implements..and wouldn't it be nice to win SOMETHING this year Tiges?

SAINTSBEPRAISED by 21pts
Yes, Saints be praised and pass the cup. A new era will be heralded by the dethroning and depantsing of the Gorillas in their own jungle. Can you hear the drums Fernando, for the bell tolls for thee! The Saints will have too much run for the Pride who will shrug their shoulders at the end of the match and go home to watch the videos. Don't worry boys, Rocky IV was 5hit, so you blokes might as well settle for three while your at it. Sainters to come home with the chokkies in this blockbuster.

EGIRLS by 43pts
The F*ckedmantle Skiers have gone downhill in a big way in recent weeks and during that time the Egirls have Stakered their claim on the top eight. The Egirls have resodded the Gardiner and lost nothing in ruck as big Cox has really stood up. Putriaco will rock the Casbah in this clash but it will be Connolly in Chrisis mode at the end of the day.

Well, eight last week and clearly another eight coming up this week. Too easy this tipping lark. However, I'll happily take seven if my beloved Catters can trump the Blackbirds tomorrow.

Later dudes,

REB

Redlegs - too consistant, more points more wins

Seagulls - too confident, too skillful

Bloods - too hard, too boring a style

'boners - too good in too many positions

Maroons - too September-like, been looking forward to this for too long

Mayblooms - Richmond looking forward to the end too much

Westies - Fremantle too fickle
