Notes and Comments

First and foremost: Holy shit, GWS! I think we can safely say that was the team we expected at the beginning of the season. It was the early game on Saturday night and I hope y’all saw at least part of it. It was a thing of beauty.

Another thing of beauty was Geelong’s victory over Sydney. The Cats are looking real good as Sydney played pretty well. The top four at the moment are looking pretty solid.

Speaking of, Hawthorn got back on track with an important win over the Crows. They haven’t blown out many teams, but they’ve won plenty of close games. That’s important come finals time.

The upset of the week has to be Carlton beating Port Adelaide IN Adelaide. Carlton is still unbeaten since “firing” their coach. Sometimes, patience is overrated.

Finally, Fremantle is all alone at the top of the ladder. They are the real deal and could give Yeah Right the championship he’s been wanting since we all picked teams. I still feel bad that I convinced him to pick Fremantle over Melbourne and Melbourne shortly thereafter won the Premiership.

It was a rough week in the Tipping Contest for everyone not named Yeah Right. He is now in a tie with Spam and only separated by margin. Sharky is right behind them only 2 tips behind. 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!

Ohtani threw 6 innings, was a little wild (4 walks) and gave up a run. He also gave up zero hits, and he led off the bottom of the 1st with a homer.

Meanwhile the Angels were shut out by the shitty-ass Tigers.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

They pulled him when he still had zero hits?

SonOfSpam

Looks like we’re getting the matchup the hockey-mad fans of Las Vegas and Raleigh have always dreamed of.

Family didn’t want steak for dinner. Now I have 2 steaks.

King Hippo

Spoken with joy, by a man who ain’t aged into the nighttime “meat sweats” yet. Just be patient, grasshopper. You’ll know when you get there.

Win -win

My wife is happier than she’s been in some time. Does it have anything to do with me? PFFT!

/she spent an entire afternoon with my youngest’s boy’s girlfriend
//GF’s parents are anti-vaxxers and I know she’s going to turn her around from the nuttiness she grew up with

Yay for being a sane influence!

Drove past the White House this afternoon and let me tell you–that octagon for this weekend looks even trashier in person. Just one more fucking embarrassment to add to the list.

Fronkenshteen

I don’t think the White House should be a residence any more after this shitbird finally dies. Keep it as a museum, but I think we should have more respect for ourselves as a nation than to continue to house our democratically elected leaders in the same place where fascism took root and flourished in the United States.

King Hippo

Man oh man, do I like your ideas, would subscribe to newsletter ,, yada yada

Doktor Zymm

We’ll also have to replace all the soft furnishings in the Naval Observatory, though that’s just for sanitary reasons rather than anything symbolic

WCS

It’s the perfect metaphor to the direction this country’s taken.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I read that President Kid-Diddler is planning to attend a Knicks game. We should start a GoFundMe to bribe the stadium camera operator to put him and his Eastern European mail order bride on the Kiss Cam and place bets on Kalshi as to which of them looks more disgusted by the prospect.

King Hippo

PALO!!!! doing yeoman’s work for the Vallecano Boiz, but they still gon’ lose. Prem now (imminently) 2-for-2 in major European finals this season. Puncher’s chance at 3/3.

Fronkenshteen

Can’t remember the last time I saw a team with such a stark height advantage over the other. And now Palace brought Strand-Larsen on, another tree!

King Hippo

Reminds me of watching NC State JV NFL play defense. We might be small, but we make up for it by being slow.

Fronkenshteen

Just joined our World Cup tourney. I really want to thank you guys for being such a good goddamn group of friends. If this place went dark between football seasons, my life would be exponentially worse. I don’t say any of this for any particular reason right now, but I just want every one of you to know what a positive, supportive effect you’ve had on another human being just by being yourselves.

King Hippo

There is no World Cup but we loves ya, homey. Hang in there and STAY BLACK my brutha.

NotShogunButShogun

Josh Jacobs released, no charges filed as of now.
Par for the course around these parts.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“See? We told you she just made it all up in order to get some publicity!” – about 40% of Packers fans, though to be clear you’d see approximately the same reaction from any other NFL fanbase if he was one of theirs

Sharkbait

“Mooooooooom! Can we get a Ray Rice??”

“No, we have a Ray Rice at home”

The Ray Rice at home:

Doktor Zymm

It might be one of those sadly common things where the woman declined to press charges, it’s a tough enough situation without the publicity and you just know she was probably getting anonymous threats. I hope the NFL investigation makes at least a token effort not to be a complete farce

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Twas a good week to be a GWS fan for sure.

Fingers crossed for Sam Taylor to come back this week because the injury list keeps growing.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

This week, we had quite a few upsets.

[gets hopes up]

[sees scores]

[hopes become Dorito Dinked]

Does there happen to be an AFL equivalent of Fernando Mendoza declaring for the draft this year, perchance?
