<p>Thank. Fuck. Yesterday's hammering from the Saints brings down the curtain on a shit year for the Lions. Missing the spoon by .6% from a team with 12 players suspended is a disgrace. Yes yes, youngest list blah blah, we're shit. Our players lack skill and conditioning, our game plan is crap, and neither are getting any better. We gave up 131 points a game, that's fucking disgraceful. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>And so Leppa, legend that he is, has been rightly sacked. Some will argue it's short sighted, i disagree. It's clear he had to go, as there were zero signs of progression, in fact most regressed this year. Brett Ratten the early favourite to replace him. Whoever comes in has a massive job ahead of him, we're lacking in many areas, on and off the field. I'll just be happy if we turn up next year and actually show some fight, we are very rarely in games. </p>
<p> </p>

<p>The end of the regular season was pretty awesome. Hawthorn yesterday playing in a ripper of a game with Fucking Collingwood were going kick-for-kick between 3rd and 6th, eventually finishing 3rd through a scruffy behind. Swans on top, and get to play the Giants, which will be a ripper of a game. Geelong v Hawthorn will be fucking awesome as well. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the bottom half of the 8 the Crows will hammer a finished North (Scott will be lucky to keep his job if North are serious), and you would imagine the improving Weagles will be too good for the Dogs, who are missing too many guys. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Did i read they now pause for a week? What kind of a stupid fucking idea is that? </p> -

<p>that. is. awesome.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hardwick to go you reckon?</p> -
<p>LOL that's funny shit. Sometimes you have to just laugh when it all goes to shit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, by finishing top of the table, the Swans get a local derby against the Giants and as a result have to shift it to the ground they spat on 12 months ago and promised to never set foot in again.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>:lol:</p> -
<p>So, after all the outrage on the kid dressed up as Nick Natanui - complete with dreadlock wig and brown body paint, now some wag has had his kid dress up as Ben Cousins:</p>

Well, wasn't having a week off before the finals a great idea? Way to fucking suck the life out of the season, and hand the Storm a nice bit of publicity for the weekend.
Well, isn't the new software nice? It's allowing me to see just how shit my top 8 predictions were. Freo? Tigers? Port? Collingwood? What the fuck was i thinking?
Geelong v Hawthorn is the game of the weekend, and should be an absolute ripper. Swans v GWS is a bit of history, and should be quality, especially as it will be at Telstra Stadium (or whatever that white elephant is called now).
I expect West Coast and Adelaide to easily win their elimination semis and progress to next week, where they will be a real handful for either team coming back. This finals series is as open as any i can remember, and i think any one of the top 6 can win it.

And fuck aren't the Swans fans I know happy about that? Finish top, go play in the other prick's territory

Cats v Hawks is absolutely top drawer.
How hard did the Weagles choke last night?
-
What a finish. Cats win after Hawks miss a kick after the siren to win.
Isaac Smith is a quality player and I thought he'd kick that easy.
Hawks play Dogs next week.
I'm hopeful GWS can beat the Swans
-
On Footy Tips they had a comp to pick the winners of the finals.
I ended up with a Hawks v Swans GF. Which I thought was utterly boring. so I re ordered, tipped with my heart and the Crows were beating the Cats in the GF.
So far I'm 2 from 2 ...
.... wrong
-
I hope GWS win just so I can imagine how good the Tigers would have been.
