Notes and Comments
Okay, WTF?? Is Western GOOD now?? They beat the Swans just as handily as they beat Geelong the previous week. I’m telling you, this season is about as unpredictable as I’ve seen in all my years of following this league.
Geelong’s loss to Western doesn’t look that bad now. The win against North won’t have anyone thinking they’re title contenders, but it was necessary.
Collingwood’s season got back on track but it was Richmond. Similar to Geelong’s win against North, it doesn’t tell you anything. As it is, they are still only 1 game out of the Eight. They could still defend their crown.
What about St. Kilda? Where has that team been all year? Essendon is in contention and the Saints DEMOLISHED them. Could they make a run and get in Finals?
Litre is nipping at Spam’s heels and is slowly catching up. The margin is only two with me a further three back. There is still time left in the season to make a run!
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!

The Olympics!
So much stuff to watch! All coverage is through Peacock and various NBC networks in the US. I highly recommend you watch Peacock and the world feed of random events. There are no stupid special interest stories, no fluff pieces, and no dumbass hosts that don’t know shit about sports.
See you next week!
Donald Trump had a Q and A at the National Association of Black Journalists. It was simultaneously a complete disaster and went far better than anyone expected.
He didn’t go hard R, so it was a success.
(j/k it was an abortion)
I don’t know about that; some of his answers were pretty ret—- oh, R as Republican!!! My bad.
Apparently a Fox News host described Harris as “Obama in a skirt”. Apparently they are trying to bait people into committing voter fraud so they can vote for her twice.
If Ha
…rris was as good as Obama or a functioning Edit button is/was, this election would be over.
Interesting to track Beckie’s career trajectory-four years ago she was a difference-maker that took every corner and her share of free kicks and tended to dominate play when on the ball. She was clearly in ascension and was definetly in contention for the captainship after Sinclair retired. Now at 29 when she should be at the height of her powers she’s “only” an important cog in the machine and was subbed out during a super important tilt.
Sounds like there has been a lot of change – or as a data scientist might refer to it, “delta” – in Beckie’s career thus far.
CANADA!!!
Canucks opponents playing for the Columbian necktie.
I don’t want to drone on and on but Canada looking good in soccer.
Katie Ledecky could eat a sandwich before starting the last length of the pool and still win by two lengths.
And she wants to do it again in LA in 4 years. What a machine.
not sure I can run that far in less time, that’s amazing
Damn, that frog can swim goodly.
THIS WATER POLO GAME I CALL IT SACCO & VANZETTI, BECAUSE THE OFFICIALS ARE KILLING THE ITALIANS!!!
Fucking Bombers.
“Ew.”

Whelp, it’s that time of year again. Drew’s working on WYTS and he is rolling. Here’s a lil gem from the Chargers post:
“Oh, and who’s this other scrappy young QB guru I see on the staff?
That’s right: it’s former Bears head coach and walking Amber Alert Marc Trestman…”
IMO the only good part of that series are when the fans shit on their own teams.
Drew can eat shit and die.
THIS GUY THE ROCK LEMME TELL YA I CALL HIM JOSEPH STALIN BECAUSE HE MADE A FEW DOZEN ARMY MEN SUDDENLY DISAPPEAR
The US military spending tons of money on extremely questionable things?
JD Vance wants to know if that money could be spent on better couchfucking technology.
My dog is not doing well with the siding project going on at our house.
Turns out dogs may like fireworks more than they like hearing hammering right up against the side of the house.
Two follow up questions, counselor:
1) How’s Lowratio handling all this?
b)What does this mean for the Maple Leafs next season?
Is it just me, or does this crowd at the women’s volleyball game look like North Korean soldiers are pointing machine guns at them every time there’s a crowd shot, while just off screen a big sign flashes “APPLAUD, OR ELSE”?
Like that scene in the original V.
Oh yes the Saints shooting themselves in the foot for draft position is a tradition. May not get to the heights of 10th this year though.
