AFL Round 2: Mondays bitter BLOCBUSTER!

AFL...It's no secroet Geelong and Hawthorn don't like eachother, but considering the Cats have won 4 out of the last 5 games, theyre almost taking a liking to football's snobiest area. The Hawks lead for most of the game, but in the third Geelong fought back with a fury! not such a fury in the second quarter with their 7 points, instead of goals.


Thursday night football continues to annoy us, but with Carlton facing a more worthy opponent in the Lions, we were in for a better quality match. Fev faced off against his old side the Blues and had his twin Mac truck Johno Brown assisting him. But Fev was more the assistant as Browny kicked a lazy seven goals, and stuck more fear into the heart of man. We thought Fev would pick some fights with his old team mates, but instead there was nothing but boring polite-ness between them!

The tigers have been beaten for the second week in a row, and have been officially dacked AFL style. Their competition was strong, but we're not sure it wouldve made a difference to their scorelines. Similarly North were smashed by St Kilda by 105 points. Perhaps they will think twice again before declaring: 'we can beat them!'

Freo on the other hand have gone through a religious footy experience with an anti-dacking, by beating the Bombers away??? whatt?? yes you heard right. Now, not only is it safe to tip Freo for once, but its safe to tip them away from home....yes you heard it again! Port Adelaide have also turned over a new leaf by winning away. Known for being the Katy Perrys of the AFL, Port tend to run hot and cold from week to week. None the less, I tipped them...but ive never been so uncomfy in all my life :-s.

No, no, no whhhhhhhhhy, so close but so far away. After their 56 point defeat last week, the Dees rose up and took on the Pies (previously beating Premy favs the Dogs). With thirty seconds to go the Dees almost snatched it, but dropped a mark right in front of goal..oh the agony and the ecstacy of losing by one point. Nobody evem seemed to notice that it was Brad Green 200th match, Melbourne were just happy to lose by the smallest possible margin, instead of the largest.

The Swans have had a strong win against the Crows at home. Not even Jason Porpyyyyyzia could save Adelaide this week. We only hope they can put in a performance against the Dee's, and avoid footballs ultimate embarrasment.

F1...It was all looking brilliant, Mark Webber grabs pole for only the second time, and surely he cant lose!..Yes he can! Well second place is good, but not when your team mate flies passed you driving exactly the same car! Boggles the mind, pisses the mind well off. Maybe next time Mark wont snooze on the first corner,and then he wont have to stand on the podium like a 10 year old that just lost his teddy bear. Alonso went off with one lap to go, which is even more brutal. And his team mate Massa is flying under the radar in top spot for the Championship!

NRL..Well it's only been a few weeks, but we finally have our first NRL scandal of the season. Ex Queenslander ALfie Langer got a bit sad from a demoralising loss, and decided to un-celebrate it by dancing on a table in an old pair of undies. He then got into his car and drove at over 3 times the legal limit, forcing a suspension from the club. Get over it Alfie, Melbourne rules, and so does too does the team that smashed yours.

Friday night football went off, as it was the only football in town that day. The mighty Storm knocked off top of the ladder: St George 17 to 4. It looks like Melbourne could be in the mix again at the end of the year. The Eels however have fallen from grace, and will need a swift recovery to challenge the big boys..and we don't mean Alfie!

Cricket...Mitchel Johnson is now officially a legend after taking 10 wickets in the 2nd test against New Zealand. And yes this means you can no longer call him a mumas boy. Oh yeah and surely you can tell after that piece of domination, we won! Our start was bad, but theirs was worse!

Doug Bollinger may be getting a pay rise as the expense of others recieving a pay-cut, but he's kind of earnt it. The rest of the team can make up their pay on the Catwalk...Dougie cannot.

In the IPL Vijay (Chennai) scored 98 with 8 4's and 11 6's with almost every ball a boundary. Someones after Dougies pay packet. Roy got 45 but it's not enough to save last years champs Decan from slipping further down the ladder.

Soccer...It's not often you see Man United lose, but Chelsea have never seen a prettier sight. Chelsea have again pinched top spot from the champs with a 2-1 win, along with pinchy their dignity. Well it's not like they have plenty to spare! Save some for the rest of us Man U.

Tennis..Super mum 'our Kimmy' crushes Venus to take the Miami hard court title. Finalists Roddic and Berdich knocked off the tennis kings Rapha and Roger to hit the final. But we all know the big guns dont really care about the minor tournaments, so it's a bit like the NAB cup. It's hard to gauge just how talented the winner actually is, especially when they never win the Grand Slams.

All that n more on the show that goes through more balls than Roger Federer.


Peace out*.
