Notes and Comments

The season is one third completed and the good teams are beginning to separate themselves from the not so good teams. I think the middle will sort themselves in the next couple of weeks and there will be a big noticeable gap. We will see.

The big upset this week was Western going into Adelaide and beating Port. They could be getting their mojo back after some unlucky injuries. They are still a team to watch and should make finals.

Speaking of, GWS this week beat Essendon, so they are improving their record. The win, though, was too tight for my comfort. Essendon is not that good and the margin should have been bigger.

North Melbourne hung in against Sydney, proving that they can hang with the big teams. However, they need to win one of these to get over the hump. Moral victories don’t count for shit.

Finally, Carlton had enough and fired their coach (read: encouraged him to resign) after another loss. Australian media is busy speculating as to who will take over. The big problem is that the Carlton organization is a mess. They also fired their list manager. Good luck to whoever takes over!

Spam’s lead has shrunk as Yeah Right had a perfect 9 for 9 week and was only 1 point away from a completely perfect week. Great job, Yeah Right! Don’t forget to put the tips in!

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!

For all you Scottish footy fans (Litre and any ovine lurkers), Hearts are currently up 2-0 over Falkirk, and Celtic is tied 1-1 against Motherwell.

If these results hold, it would practically clinch the league for Hearts and Edinburgh would be drunker than usual. If Celtic can get a win, then they would remain one point behind Hearts with only one game left. That game is Celtic hosting Hearts this Saturday in Glasgow, which might be the craziest atmosphere ever.

Both games just reached halftime, scores are as above.

Celtic has taken the lead! If results hold, Hearts will have a 1 point lead going into the last game hosted by Celtic.

Team MotherBoy pulls level??

Essendon is not that good…

I am pretty sure that if you are going to make understatements this extreme you owe royalties to Lowratio.

I was worried GWS was gonna lose that game in the first half. Essendon outplayed them until Bedford and Daniels really stepped things up in the fourth. This team is badly missing Jesse Hogan, Sam Taylor, and Josh Kelly (and Tom Green,but he’s out for the year).

Speaking of the AFL, here’s a Douglas A-26 Invader with R-2800 engines. An aircraft that flew in 3 major U.S. wars (WWII, Korea, Vietnam) and countless minor ones (it was the CIAs favorite plane).

So a record of 1-1-1?

Proof that you should always stop when you’re ahead.

The A-26 was basically just final-season Kobe in Vietnam though. Racked up some stats but didn’t care about winning.
