CheckPoint

July 18th 2008 07:03
: CheckPoint
Sorry to all the folk who were eagerly awaiting my next installment of footy roundup all those weeks ago. I've had a lot of things cropping. I will say I have had very average tipping rounds on occassion, and some write home weeks. The 8 haul still eludes me, unfortunately. Still loving supercoach when I can get on to it, can't wait for next year's - when I'll be older and wiser - so be looking out people.

Right, run out of time, bye all.

ROUND 2 FOOTY

April 2nd 2008 03:28
: FOOTY
ROUND 2 FOOTY

As promised, here is my R2 take.

Bad start again for me to tipping. The game we never should have lost we lost somehow. But, there's only good and gooder to speak of beyond Collingwood's 2point loss to the Bane.

The Bulldogs were never in doubt against the Dees. Enough said on that.

Watching the Eagles drop from the heights was rather pleasing, as the Crows took the skies.

The Blues tried to down the Saints, but the Saints stopped toying and started playing.

Ah yes, to the PINNACLE POINT. The Hawks at full soar against the Dockers was an even more pleasing result than the Coasts defeat.


Lets see that's 4 out of 5 as it so happens. Saturday's a good night to sleep, as the scar of Friday is healing. Then wake to a Sunday Swanfest at a Port expense, but still it's good to see Shaun Burgoyne touch the ball.

Never believe a delerious Matthew Lloyd, I didn't. He didn't really think his Bombers could stay in the skies?

To end a great round, the Kangars salute leaving me with a healthy 7 out of 8 for round 2.

See you for R3.

Footy UP

March 24th 2008 11:35
: Footy
Footy Up

Thursday Night Footy started bad for me given Carlton went down to Richmond. But, it did get better from there when reigning premiers Geelong held on by 9 points against Port. Then Sat my beloved Collingwood did not disappoint. Nor the Sainters in an absolute heart-stopper - keep racking them up Dal Santo.

By here I am thinking things are looking the goods. It starts to look even better when the Lions assail the Coast. But, it's all too brief. The Coast coast on. And I'm ruing the fact I did not pick one Dean Cox as a SuperCoach ruckman. Especially when my husband has. Ah isn't rivalry a wonderful thing!

Anyway, yes, those of you actually keeping a tally would have me at 3 out of 5. Acceptable but not threatening.

The Smiling Assassin, how I wish you were also on my SuperCoach List as the Bulldogs bullied their way to victory. (this one doesn't feel so bad) But still, 3 out of a possible 6 is looking downright pitiful. So thank goodness for the Hawks and their runaway victory.

Just as the Hawks return hope, the Bombers destroy it leaving me with a woeful 4 out of 8. Tipping is not the All however. I'm keen to see how I faired in the SuperCoach comp. So hurry up folk. Details. Details. And PRONTO.

See you in round 2.

Sensational, But Disappointing

October 22nd 2007 04:51
: Caulfield Cup
Caulfield Cup: Sensational But Disappointing

The 130th Caulfield Cup should have seen 66 years of hoodoo thwarted by the lightly raced gelding: Maldivian. But, what must have only been minutes before the start, the Zabeel gelding reared at least twice in the barriers sustaining a campaign ending blow. With blood pouring from a gash on his neck, he looked more like a Ranyhyn come from a Kresh attack. Needless to say the Kresh in this instance, being the horse's agitation and a clamp in the barrier. So with blood streaming from the gash, he was lead away saddleless and the Caulfield Cup was the weaker for it. The fave gone, how quickly the Gods turn. Gone too, his chance to prove that he indeed should claim the title of Master. Leaving Kavanagh to walk the long lonely blood trail of what will not be for 2007. And O'reilly took his title, but then I never doubted it once the sensational happened. It left this Maldivian devotee just wanting more

McAvaney Just Shy of Kissing The Fed

January 29th 2007 22:21
: Tennis
At every opportunity Bruce McAvaney notes how Special Federer is with a warmth in his eyes that even lovers would be shamed by. Come on Gonzo, do everyone a favour and belt him over the head with Trophy 2 - that what it's truly for.

Bad luck Gonzo! Fed you truly are the Master...

Goodbye Rafa, Hello Federer

Goodbye Rafa, hello Federer...

As much as I adore Rafa’s looks, I appreciate the look of the game more. I’m not sore regarding Rafael’s early departure from the Open. Not too much anyway. I will miss the Spanish Bull, moving on because I digress. Heck, truth being told, who wouldn’t want to see The Fed play Gonzo right now. I know I certainly want to see it

: ...CRICKET...
I can't wait to see the Boy from Bedfordshire with the ball in his hand. Mudhsuden Singh Panesar aka Monty. I first remember rolling the eyes over this fellow in the field somewhereorother dropping an absolute sitter. He misfielded too. I said to myself then and there bet he can bowl.

Well, according to an article by Will Luke run in Cric Info England 2006, his fielding is on the improve. But his fielding is not why he's playing for England. It's all about his bowling. Luke says he's England's most exciting spinner for 30 years.' I certainly can't think of any English spinner in the last 15 or 20 years that has caused such a stir as the Python has. He has become England's go to man with the ball. So why not play him in Queensland? It's all about timing
