Notes and Comments

The big surprise this week was Melbourne beating the back to back champs. There’s something off this year at Brisbane. It may be the fallout of the captain’s off-season. It could be they’re fat and happy. Whatever it is, this is not the same team as the last two years.

I was happy that the Cats won but I was surprised by how well they played. True, Western suffered numerous injuries during the game, but Geelong still beat them by a lot. This may be a good sign if they can keep it up.

Essendon is improving! They fought valiantly and stayed close to Gold Coast. A few breaks here and there and there might have been a second upset this week.

Speaking of breaks, GWS can’t buy one. They got outplayed by Sydney in the Derby and now face a somehow cromulent North Melbourne that thinks it’s people. If they lose to North….

Finally, we could have had the first tie off the season, but Carlton only got a behind out of their After The Siren kick and let Collingwood off the hook. Don’t worry, I’m sure we’ll get a tie at some point.

A lot of people in the Tipping Contest got inspired by Spam and Litre last week and got 8 out of 9 correct this week. I managed to climb out of the cellar and am rising in the rankings like the American Eagle Boner! 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!

Ugh, for a second I saw the score as Burnley 1 – Manchester City 0.

Life must be nice over there in the Berenstein Bears universe.

Looks like the Big Dumper is back to his Big Dumping ways. (HR in 3 straight)

Ayo must be as erect as a drunk guy can be (not especially).

The Skattebo “joke” was lovely in a Midvale School way.

Mr. Ayo

Oh look another Seattle team fixing to miss the playoffs.

Yinz just have to cry into your Superb Owl championship banner, shirts, hoodies, and towels.

Mr. Ayo

The real joy is drinking the tears of P*ts fans

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

How early did you get there? Is the game tomorrow?

Mr. Ayo

Look, Sacramento A’s, especially the of the West variety, isn’t exactly a draw on for a rainy cold midweek matinee game. Also the M’s suck right now.

Mr. Ayo

Already bourbling, should be fun by the time I get to the hockey game later

Mr. Ayo

What the fuck was that? How was that a hit?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

– anyone with musical taste upon listening to any Lenny Kravitz song

Mr. Ayo

Look at this shit. (Not a Kravitz music video)

Mr. Ayo

Apparently a jersey catch is ball out of play? Didn’t realize MLB had such shitty rules as the NHL.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I agree it should be a catch. They should call it an out simply based on rule of cool.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

…and that’s why we tuck in our uniforms, Jimmy.

Pour one out for LinkedIn Liam, who is no longer disrupting the Premier League.

If not for the local news mentioning it I’d have forgotten. Happy Earth Day, everybody!

WELCOME TO ERF.

Someone here introduced me to this song – they mentioned playing it while driving – so let’s make this an Earth Day DOUBLE SHOT.

Banger!

Cleaning out the office this week. The trusty standby blue blazer and neutral colored tie finally comes home to the rest of the coats and ties in the wardrobe. This was always on my office coat rack in case I needed to suit up for some unannounced briefing, or visit. Selected because it would match just about any shirt and pants combinations I typically wore.

Holy shit folks I no longer need to consider that stuff … Just shorts,T-shirts and flip flops until October… Jeans and hoodies after that until May… Repeat… Forever…

Deadbeat retirement here I come.

Thank you really looking forward to it.

Man — I’m sure having the trusty old double-breasted blazer on deck made you feel like a million bucks.

What’s an American Eagle Boner?

Shortly after Trump shuffles off this mortal coil.

Economy is so bad, even walk-ons have to pay to try out!

Close loss to a good team? A picture perfect “moral victory” for the Bombers. It’s going to be a lousy season, but at least they haven’t been embarrassing themselves and their entire country to such a degree that they would be sentenced to a booting.

Ah, the “we’re getting better” part of the illusion. It works until you see the standings.

Doktor Zymm

St. Kilda is great at that, they’ll have games where it looks like they’re taking a solid step forward but they’re always ranked in the low double digits
