Well 3 out of 5 is aint bad but since everyone else will have gotten 4 out of 5 today I am destined to slip backwards.
The Demon's unexpected win was an upset, no one would have picked them, so we all be in the same boat. We all thought the Blues would have put up a better performance, and this was the first time Malthouse had to contend with four losses in the first four matches on any team he was coaching!! It never happened with the Maggies!!
The Power prevailed over the Lions as expected..... only that the Lions had received a massive Power shock!! A terminal voltage!! Fried alive!!
The Giants however.... for three quarters it looked like that I would be correct..... that they would win..... until that fateful final term when they became sleeping giants...... and well since everyone else would have picked the Bulldogs this is the match that would be responsible for my slide down the tally this week. However since I am so far down anyway, in the bottom half, I have nothing to lose, and so I will be sticking my neck out on one or two of the matches each week. You don't move up the ladder by picking what everyone else picks, that is, the safest options, no you move up..... or down as the case may be.... by attempting to pick teams that no one else would pick..... teams that has a fighting chance to win though on paper the other team is more likely to prevail. The trick is to pick the right matches to make these longer shot tips - and I didn't pick the right match this time around, so down the ladder I will go......
But of course those Puddy Cats had Weevils for dinner as very much expected, indeed they utterly mauled those Weevils. That prayer meeting before the match didn't help on that occasion. But then Puddy Cats are favored over Weevils, cos Puddy Cats are from the Sirius star system, the 3-in-1 star system that is the basis of the Christian Trinity doctrine - Sirius is really three stars but looks like only one star to the naked eye - so three "gods" as one - the Trinity!! So there, Puddy Cats are favored, and so why they ate Weevils for dinner!!!!
So what for tomorrow's matches......
The Swanees against the Skippies.... should pretty well be a no brainer..... the Swanees should all in probability theory prevail over the Skippies.
The next two not so east to pick.....
The Saints and the Crows..... I think I picked the Saints here.... could go either way, though most seem to be going with Adelaide.... but another sticking out of my neck.... I guess it's Palm Sunday so it should be a Saint-ly day..... well let's hope.....
The Dockers and the Bombers.... it's at Pattersons but I picked the Bombers anyway..... Freo have a few out due to injuries, and they'd be shattered after such a heavy loss last week.... well that is my highly flawed theory anyway......
We shall see how it all pans out..... or what catastrophes will unfold.... the latter being the more likely scenario.....
