This week, we had a lot more perfect weeks in the Tipping Contest. For a moment there, everyone had 8 correct picks! Alas, the final game split the group. Let’s get to it!

Notes and Comments
It really looks like we are going to have 9 teams trying to fit into 8 spots. Someone is going to get assed out. At this point, Fremantle is the odd team out, but that’s only on percentage and there’s a lot of footy to be played.
Sydney is the next team up, but they are 3 games behind and their form has been inconsistent at best and atrocious at worst. It would be a hell of an achievement if they could sneak into the Eight.
Port Adelaide is in the same position and it could be argued that they probably have a better chance than Sydney to sneak in. However, they’ve had way to many injuries and I don’t think they will get enough people healthy down the stretch to make a difference.
The Blues, Essendon, and Melbourne are having really bad seasons and the teams are just waiting until they can make tee times. St. Kilda will probably win some games to get back to their customary 10th place finish.
Next week, there are two games that involve teams currently in the Eight. Those are your Games of the Week. I think one home team and over road team will win. Which ones remains to be seen.
A hearty well done to the tippers that had a perfect week. No one got the PERFECT PERFECT week but Sharky backed last week’s with another PERFECT week. Will he do it three weeks in a row?
If you are a member of an AFL club or you got a Watch AFL membership, you should be able to watch every AFL and AFLW game, including replays. Game times vary between Australian afternoon and evening, which actually makes it easier for us in North America to watch as the games can be seeing in the evenings on Pacific Time and early mornings on Eastern time.
If you haven’t become a member of a club or signed up for the Watch AFL app, you can still watch the AFL and AFLW 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. But I do recommend that you join a club. It’s fun and they send you free shit.
See you next week!
THIS PSG-GENUINE MADRID MATCH I CALL IT A LIQUID-FILLED BASIN IN ELIZABETH BATHORY’S PRIVATE CHAMBERS BECAUSE IT IS A BLOODBATH.
I can change her
“Fishlock” is a name?

“I seen worse, believe me.”
-D. Trickle, NC
I just found the ladies’ match.
What happened that we’re on an injury stoppage this long*?
*huh huh heh heh huh
What a fun start! I’m hoping the final score of this game is 19-17.
PSG certanly doing their part.
Only available in Spanish apparently, which is fine.
(ICE trucks pull up on driveway)
It’s on DAZN too. It’s hard to decide between that stupid “buy me” bug on DAZN blocking half the action and the shitty 360P resolution on Univision.
New obsession for Hippo – 2 cute Argentine girls started a rock band.

This is fun too

The current Delta Airlines safety video that plays on the seat backs at the beginning of the flight is the gayest thing ever.
I’m not saying that’s a bad thing.
Lots of info about the cock pit?
From the Hieronymos Bosch library of weird chit…
Tying plums to one’s belt was the style at the time…

At least this weasel finally learned something.
So Eddie Van Halen’s chunky son has a new song that, dare I say, rocks. Maybe he can take Dave Grohl’s place until he has a bastard kid too.

Wait, I thought Valerie Bertinelli was the kid’s Mom. Was there another mom?
Right…I meant that he can be the new Dave Grohl (who just had a bastard kid), until Wolfie fucks up and has a bastard kid too. Sourry for any misunderstanding.
“Who’s to blame?” the governor said, repeating a reporter’s question. “Know this: That’s the word choice of losers.” Then Abbott invoked a football metaphor: “Every football team makes mistakes. The losing teams are the ones that try to point out who’s to blame.”

This fuckin guy. Look, I’m sorry God decided to drop a tree branch on you. Doesn’t mean you have to ruin everyone else’s life.
“I’m not sorry.” – God
“It’s God’s fault, not football’s or mine’s!”
To be fair, I HATE it at work when something goes wrong and someone immediately looks for someone to blame instead of fixing the problem.
That’s not the way you get shit done.
I hate it at work when everybody drowns.
Yeah, “Who put the widget on the second shelf instead of the third?” is one thing, but…
Strange that England is laying a beating on the Netherlands given that the latter isn’t a colony.
How does this affect the tulip market and the Leafs’ Stanley Cup chances?
Surprise link, Canada edition:

Many geopolitical observers have opined that Quebec’s strategic poutine reserves housed in Upper Youppi Land have been vulnerable for decades.
Netherlands are going to be super dangerous if they could actually get a shot on net, which hasn’t happened yet.
Amusing that Fox clearly has a “don’t say gay” policy (just so you wink wink KNOW wink wink, some of the Enlish players are REALLY GOOD PALS with their Dutch counterparts), given that two of their regular female studio commentators dress exclusively in men’s clothing.

Incompetent man does something incompetent.
Notice how CNN framed this as “sources claim” as opposed to granting these lying shitbags any kind of credibility. It was an unpopular action, so Hegseth is being scapegoated. He wouldn’t tie his shoes without permission from the White House.
Like ol’ Petey ties shoes, he totes has slip on’s. Too many steps in tying up shoes.

That was quite a journey!
The best part is when he momentarily pulls himself together to hit on the women passing by.
Finally gets the flip-flops on, stumbles out of them and directly into a gaggle of lasses that somehow are immune to his charms.
This is why getting vaccinated is so important.
Lady Dustbins can send Lionesses to the curb today. Hippo would enjoy.
Essendon played wonderfully…for three quarters.
No random video at the end of the highlights? WTF
Also, we do grocery orders online and then go pick it up, cause then I don’t need to be around people. If you spend over whatever random amount the store sets, there are sometimes “gifts” you get. This weeks gift was a box of assorted candy bars. Woohoo. So, being curious, I was mapping out the order that I’m gonna inhale these, and noticed that there is not just one, but fucking two Big Turks in the box. WTAF?
This almost stopped me from eating a few of the bars, but I powered through it.
You’re the kind of Canadian hero this country desperately needs in these trying times.
For all of you who asked for updates:
My flight yesterday got delayed into oblivion so I was rebooked for this morning.
We’re boarding now at Washington National for the flight to LAX via Detroit. DTW is a very nice airport.
You can get more flight details on my blog, and as always subscribers to my newsletter get all the info plus chances to win valuable prizes.
safe travels
Perfect week, still in 2nd. Damn you spam!
Really looking forward to the game next month. I’ll try to do a BOTG
another week of just one pick wrong and loosing ground to everyone else.
