Notes and Comments
Rikki’s Bombers fell to Hippo’s Blues, who have seemed to turn around their season. Both teams are on the top four and, if this were to remain the case at the end of the year, they would both get the Second Chance during Finals.
Geelong blew a large lead to the Swans in Sydney as the league leaders continued to show they are the best team in the AFL. On the bright side, they played well. On the not so bright side, they could not consolidate the win. Sydney was too good.
I think the biggest surprise of the week was Hawthorn beating the Giants in Tasmania. I have no idea how that happened, but I’m guessing injuries played a big part.
The byes finish next week with a lot of teams getting a break. There will only be six games played.
Congratulations to Dolph Ucker for getting five picks correct this week! Just like that, he’s back in contention. There is still a TIE at the top although it’s now Litre and Spam that are tied. Litre is still technically ahead by score differential.
If you haven’t become a member of a club or signed up for the Watch AFL app, you can still watch the games in the USA on either FS1 or FS2 and in Canada on TSN. Showtimes can be found here on the Australian Football Association of North America website.
Don’t forget to put the Footy Tips in!
See you next week!

Balls somehow lost his bio and didn't realize it. He's now scrambling to write something clever and failing. He likes butts, boobs, most things that start with the letter B, and writing in the Second Person. Geelong, Toluca, Barcelona, and Steelers, in that order.

One of the downsides of living in California, it seems they just randomly scatter sharp bits of metal all over the roads. Third flat tire from road debris since I moved here, so an average of once every 2 years. Drove all up and down the east coast for years and I think I can remember one easily patched flat

There’s a tire shop near me that fixed my flat for free with one of those plug things. I keep meaning to bring them a box of donuts as a thank-you.

Just got back from 2nd PT session. It seems to be working, with everything else hurting my lower back and knees aren’t bothering me as much!

Injuries, refereeing, sh*t midfield play, sloppy disposals, poor kicking.

As a younger guy, I was prone to doing cheetah flips. But now I take things in with much more patience. So a shrug is about as athletic as I go.

‘We got a LOT of surprise AGAIN this week” is also how Mrs. Horatio told me we were having our second child.

saw my results for the week (2) and hoped that everyone else had a sh*t week at picking too, but expected to be in last after this week. My picks would have been better if I’d not picked at all, dammit.
Apparently I drank too much of the alcohol that I’ve been threating litre with.

Offering Litre alcohol isn’t threatening. Now, Litre offering someone else a Big Turk? That’s an A felony that’s what that is.

I think litre likes those candy bars, so not sure that’s a threat either

Yes, the threat is to the other people, they just don’t know it.

Based on the scoreline, it looks like the Blues were kicking like Steph Curry had blessed their boots while the Bombers couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn.

You’re telling me that Joe Manchin can’t read those checks from coal industry interests that he keeps checking?
