Notes and Comments

Hippo’s Blues lost again, this time to the Collingwood Magpies. It’s hard to figure out what their deal is. They’re all the way down to eight on the ladder.

We have a new leader at the top of the table! Sydney beat the Giants and are ahead of Geelong on percentage. That Sydney Derby was quite good although it was a little marred by the driving rain which made it really difficult to get a good flow to the game.

The other Derby this week was The Showdown between Adelaide and Port Adelaide and maybe the Crows are good now? They certainly looked good in beating their home rivals.

Don’t look now, but West Coast is quietly improving. They barely lost to Essendon and have looked much better and more cohesive. They won’t accomplish much of anything this year, but it’s a giant leap forward from where they’ve been.

Great job to Litre for getting the most correct picks this week! He’s got on Spammy’s heels with BC Dick right behind him. Phrasing.

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.

Don T

Valverde’s out. So we’re back to hating Madriz 110%

King Hippo

Takes some bollocks to put “Mister Give Away the Dumbest Penno” in for the last 10 minutes

King Hippo

NO, I will not answer an unscheduled work call. Fucking Philistines.

1st half report: Real Madrid has been “I dare ya” in defense and murderoUs in O. Bayern’s taking two non-placebo The Pills before intercourse (men back) + diaphragm (Manuel Neuer) has been working so far.

King Hippo

Ran out for Jeebus’ Chicken y Waffle Fries. Will it help Bear Team? Maybe not, but my fat sure enjoyed it.

Don T

It’s getting testier in Madrid than at the office of Lance Armstrongr oncol—dragged by giant hook

Don T

Heh heh. Valverde with an Uruguayan spite foul

Hmm. Tuchel putting on some weight. Stress eating on a boiled potato daily no doubt.

/translation for “no espanol” speakers
And the fans at the Bernabeu are chanting Real Madrid’s anthem: “🎶Money money moolah, God of gods. Let’s drink your childrens blood for money…🎶”

King Hippo

The guy with the bad hairpiece and Madridista scarf on TUDN. No me gusta.

Let’s go En Bruges!!!!

Carlton understand that Hippo does not deserve even the most minor of happinesses.

Sydney was by far the better team and also GWS has no shot in the midfield without Tom Green and Steve Coniglio

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I love that Essendon is 5-2-1 with a negative point differential. They don’t lose often, but when they do, they lose BIG!

Sharkbait

Got my Tasmania Devils stickers in the mail the other day. Glad to know my name is gonna be hung up in a training ground a few thousand miles away

yeah right

Got mine yesterday. May have to pay a visit to the training grounds.

yeah right

It’s really sweet.
