Notes and Comments

You will notice that all the games this week are in Adelaide. This is a special Round that the AFL created for this year called the “Gather Round” (sounds like gather around) where all teams play their games in one city. If it is successful, they may move this around to other Australian cities in future years.

BFC and Lemonjello’s GWS Giants are still undefeated and at the top of the ladder. Let’s see if they can keep up their hot start against the Suns.

Collingwood finally won their first game of the year in a tough environment in Brisbane. That bodes well for them to get their season back on track.

Thank you to all the DFOers that have become Founding Members of the Tasmania Devils! Details for the new team are here: Tasmania! If you want a founding membership, go here! I love that someone in Tasmania is looking at these memberships from random cities in North America and scratching their head wondering how this happened.

It’s a full round this week with no byes. 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.

About a year ago, I submitted a job we did for some industry award, won it (because I’m a winner, unlike Zach Wilson) and I came here for some advice on getting a little trade organization mag identified and an ad placed. Fozz helped, for example, so the final product was surely quite inoffensive.

Anyways, it’s a biennial award so I’m starting my submissions for next April’s awards — looking like I’ll have two garages in for submission. Pretty sick!

Sorry — I’m just taking online traffic school and kind of bullshitting around for a couple hours….

You can imagine my chagrin a couple of days ago when I googled “Essendon Highlights” and the first video was a “Last Two Minutes” one which began with That’s My Bombers! clinging to a small lead.

But my dread was unfounded! They pulled it out!

Curt Shilling deserves to walk on legos for the rest of his life

Senor Weaselo

That seems cruel for the Legos.

I thought he was in the Hall! What reason are they giving for keeping him out?

Fyi this isn’t the first year they’re doing a gather round, but this is the first year they’ve created this abomination of a jersey to celebrate it

The ugliest jersey you’ve ever seen. If it weren’t so expensive it would be a great punishment for last place in the tipping pool.

That. Is a very busy… Freaking… Jersey.

Carlton. Dance. PARTY!
