Bailey Smith is in trouble after flipping a double bird to a Crows fan on the way out of the tunnel at the end of the game.

Took a gamble on Sydney and failed.

Meanwhile the Suns keep on rolling

And Port is ruthless right now and it is only halfway through Q2

79-20 at HT

And that's with the Hawks scoring 2 goals right before the siren..jeez...

Only 2 out of 13 people in the office competition tipped Collingwood tonight and right now I'm feeling REALLY GOOD about that.

42 points mean nothing.

Fagan gave what looked like a good firm dressing down to Zorko in front of the bench in Q3. that sort of cold anger non-shouty dressing down. Zorko walked away to the physio not agreeing but still looking sheepish (he knew he'd messed up, running too far in a clear space, got tackled and thereby giving away a goal to the Pies at a crucial time

kicking a behind 10 yards in front of the posts is not helping, Brisbane...

41 points

Papy Oli · April 17, 2025, 03:43:07 AM

nevermind...

Madiel · April 17, 2025, 03:56:18 AM

I should note I only tipped Collingwood to win by 5 points. But I'll take it.

Papy Oli · May 03, 2025, 04:55:38 AM

The win against Hawthorn was stressful two weeks ago...

Today's at Collingwood was off the charts...

Madiel · May 11, 2025, 04:54:48 AM

Apparently, only myself and the office competition organiser are aware that GWS keeps winning in Geelong, year after year.

I didn't win the week, but I did enjoy that result. Sorry, Olivier.

The cattery is purring nicely...

Papy Oli · July 03, 2025, 06:03:17 AM

Crazy how Liberatore son and dad are spitting image of one another. One being the fully shaven version of the other... Made me chuckle

not a bad feat of both doing 250 games in the same club!!

In more important news, we need to bounce back against the Tigers on Saturday. That ladder is tight after our bye...

Madiel · July 03, 2025, 06:19:31 AM

I forgot to put my tips in. These Thursday night games are a pain!

Holden · July 03, 2025, 02:44:13 PM

I picked the card last week - and so did just about everybody else. I have a ritual where I always go to my local on a Thursday arvo specifically to do my tips. Well that's my excuse anyway.

Madiel · July 03, 2025, 06:45:10 PM

Yes, I got a perfect score last week but sadly it didn't feel like much of an achievement!

Papy Oli · August 19, 2025, 05:56:32 AM

Not posted here much, with life and what not occupying the mind...still Kept an eye on some of the Geelong games. That sure makes a very tasty ladder for the last day (+1 game for the Suns).

Considering Geelong can still finish top or 7th depending on results, that is quite an exciting end to the home and away season.

Beside the focus on Cameron and his 75+ goals, it feels like Geelong has very much flown under the radar compared to Adelaide, Collingwood, Hawks, etc... or it is just that we are expected to be there anyway, just because Chris Scott has done the job again...and again...

Madiel · August 19, 2025, 06:28:02 AM

I think we could be set to have one of the best finals series in some years.

Holden · August 19, 2025, 11:10:41 PM

The Suns are sitting in Ninth but have two games left as opposed to everyone else in the top eight who only have one. All they have to do is win one of those games and regardles of what happens to their top eight opponents, they are in. However, if they win both their matches then they should be in the top four - eight points taking them to 64 points. Come you Sunnies!!!!

Nervous yet, @Holden ?

Tight games today!!!
