This week, the Pies lost again and all of a sudden people are trying to say the wheels are falling off. Easy there, AFL Media! Let’s not go overboard. Let’s get to it!

Notes and Comments
It appears that the Saints’ amazing comeback against Melbourne has cost Simon Goodwin his job as Melbourne coach. This is on the heels, mind you, of the Demons winning their first Premiership since 1964 in 2021. And now we are in 2025 and the Demons will undoubtedly have to wait another 50+ years for another Premiership.
Too bad the Saints are out of it. They won again and are looking good for their traditional 10th to 12th place finish!
Western gave themselves a HUGE boost with their massive win over the Giants but they are still the ninth team trying to fit into 8 spots with only three games left. As for GWS, that was a really bad loss. Even BFC in Europe is saying, WTF?!?
Brisbane also pulled off an impressive win against Collingwood at the MCG. Everyone is overreacting as I’m not ready to write off the Pies just yet. They’ve had some injury issues lately and have been so far ahead of everyone that a drop in performance was expected. I do not expect this to continue in Finals.
Next week, we have a BIG game at the MCG as the Pies try to right the ship against Hawthorn. If the Pies lose again, then I’ll start thinking the critics are correct.
The Tipping Pool is crazy competitive! I thought I did great and then checked and saw that almost everyone did better than me. Shout-out to Litre for a perfect week of tipping! Sharky remains at the top with an excellent 8 of 9 performance. I wonder if he’ll get any inside tips in Australia…
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!
Strangely enough, this isn’t an Onion headline:

Here’s an important Rolling Stones concert clip from 1964.
Make sure to un-mute the sound.

Potential Off-Season Trade Draft idea: overlooked draft busts that crippled franchises, but go largely forgotten about. Here’s Don T’s selection:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPMnt2uD9XU
Others are LT Jason Smith (second-overall pick of the Rams), Robert Gallery (fourth-overall RAAAAAIIIIDDDHERS), and Vernon Gholston (sixth-overall for the Jest). I’ve already done some of the work for you, Lowratio.
I’m on record: Isaiah Wilson is The Worst pick in the history of the NFL Draft. And in the history of all drafts, with super asshole-y judging i.e., retrospective (pick value vs. performance), only Len Bias was a worse pick. Only. Len. Bias.
But now that I read the whole comment (instead of reacting instantly at the triggering part 🤪), it was Treylon Burks: 1st round WR picked by TEN in 2022.
Because OBVIOUSLY AJ Brown was midfling talent that a genius GM could teplace like 🫰🏼 that.
Incidentally, I wish AJ Brown wins all the Owls while playing for non-TEN teams. Tireless worker, great teammate*, and wonderful guy on IRL stuffs.
* relatively, when comparing talent with how NFL WRs behave with the QB
We did draft busts a last season or the season before. We didn’t get specific about underrated draft busts, though.
I’ll make a note of it.
Also I’d say Yahoo giving me Kyler Murray in the 3rd round of last year’s Lowratio League draft would be way up there.
Jesus. It’s going to be 90° (that’s X-4qπ degrees Canadian) at Dodger Stadium today, and nosebleed seats that are going to get full unadulterated sun all afternoon are selling for a minimum of $72 each. A year ago we could have gone to see this game for a quarter of that price.

See, as a teenager, that woulda been awesome, but now I won’t sit in the sun for more than about 30 seconds. I’m like the Rick Pitino of sitting in the sun.
I’m sticking to night games from now on.
Maybe you must stay home and be inundated with broadcast commetcials instead of in-stadium ads.
What I *should* do is watch commercial-free shows on Netflix while that’s still a thing.
Yeah, I should really watch the third season of ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ so I can get increasingly enraged every time someone does something no attorney in their right mind would ever do.
I didn’t realize that anyone on that show does anything other than purchase food from an L.A. restaurant and then rave about how delicious it is.
I’m watching Qaron and two-time Owl champ with the Stillers, Bryant McFadden, of CBS Sports, talk about Latrobe and training camp. Qaron actually seems to be enjoying himself, and appears to be relaxed.
I’d also like to reconsider McFadden on my defensive back draft. I forgot how important he was to the defense, how he and FS Chris Hope allowed Troy to freelance at times and be Troy.
This is all to say the vibes at Stillers camp are good, and getting better. Jalen Ramsey is looking like he’s played here his entire career. In fact, all of the new additions seem to blending in well.
It’s gonna suck when Qaron’s other Achilles self-immolates on the fifth snap of Week 1 in Dublin.
Look! A long hallway with nobody in it! And thumbnails of more empty long hallways!

Hey, I dated her!
Five shot at Fort Stuart when a sergeant unloads on his own.
Just the level-headed people I want running operations in my neighborhood!
Never let Army guys near guns.
I’m surprised the dude was able to hit anyone. Hagseth must have texted the guy that Ft Stuart is a very soft target today.
Son of bitch.
“shot” not “killed” stupid woke DEI army smh
Yeah, probably trans shooter or at least not white
Just bitter they still exist while all the Navy guys got to go home when they accidentally got deleted out of the Constitution along with habeus corpus earlier today.

Sharpiegate 2: Electric Boogaloo
My nemesis just came into the office and rage is flowing through me. He used to be my boss twice and was fucking useless and now I am the same level as him. Cunt still thinks I work for him. I HATE HIM I HATE HIM I HATE HIM.
Did you tell him to go fuck himself politely (Canadian style)?
Which I think is “Good morning” without “buddy”
“I cordially invite you to produce suction upon my genital parts or engage in intimate congregation with yourself. Your choice, eh?”
I’ll give you the same power someone bestowed upon me when in the same predicament: the power to say “No” and go back to what you were doing as their ego and inferiority complexes break them down.
Let him know you’re now co-commissioner of the Lowratio League!
“Until I had this job, I used to think you were useless. Now I know you are useless. Get your useless ass out of office.”
Here’s a photo I took of a wall. There’s nobody in the photo because of course not. Beneath it are some thumbnails of a tunnel. Look closely and there are some people in those. Thank you and God Bless.

When your dick is too shriveled to actually reach the hymen, is it really kiddie rape?
Currently sitting in the community theater for a meeting on a potential insect infestation issue. The Anopolphora Glabripennis… Hey hey… Pennis! That just could fuck up half of my trees. In typical Italian style this dick dance is starting 15 minutes late.
I don’t need this right now.
Oh fuck, here goes Q&A… Pray for 2Pack…
You could probably get yourself ejected if you raised your hand and then said “what I’m actually more concerned about is the infestation of…[glace at nearest ethnic minority]…you knows…”
There was some old dude who went on a rant about the EU regulations related to this thing. I actually felt a bit sorry for our idiot mayor on that one.
Sir, do we need to talk about your use of pants?
Guilty of the summer work khakis. I’m masquerading as an NFL coach.
I hate that bug
This stupid thing could really fuck me over. Not just a cut down the tree thing. It’s cut, chip and then burn… on site, no hauling infested wood away… And at my expense.
Asian long-horned beetle. Nasty little fucker.
As a final irritating note they are spraying the hood with agent orange tomorrow morning recommending that windows stay closed and AC stays off for 48 hours. It’s in the mid 90’s… Aye carumbah…
Getting fired as an AFL coach isn’t so bad, just means more time for making up funny animals
Can we start referring to the Sydney Swans as the “Eugenics”?
I’m half asleep so I read that as Eurythmics, which does sort of check out.

Can’t argue with that logic.
