round 14...eye on the prize!!!!



it is renault round viewers!!! are you a member and are you attending the big game? ps i heard it is going to be blowing a gale and there will be terrifying thunder and lightning strikes and buckets and i mean buckets of rain. i sincerely suggest you stay at home for your own safety and watch it from the comfort of your couch!!!! go on i promise not to tell anyone...hee,hee,hee!!!   
OMG the car is up for grabs and i will be there with my eye on the prize in the hope that the footy gods have been noticing my impeccable football behaviour. well if not me then i sure hope it is little lovie, (although personally i feel i am just a little ahead coz she has piked out on some games due to the cold)...shame on her and shame on me for wanting that car more than my mama and thinking i deserve it!!! hee,hee. if anyone deserves that renault for endless good deeds and genuine kindness it is my ma, the one and only lovie and complete angel. that woman's resilience knows no bounds and what i admire and love about my mum the most is her natural intelligence, calmness in the face of adversity and her beautiful soul that is kind, caring and knows the ways of motherhood in such an effortless way. (although i have to admit before i elevate her to saint like status, she can drive me kinda crazy with her virgo ways!!!! when she comes down on me with a ton of dirt, AGHHHH!!! have you put your lipstick on? mm, why are you wearing that? you know you shouldn't be taking risks... seems like the earth signs might be the fuddy duddy's of the zodiac...are they???
     well gotta say two big games this round to sway the ladder in one teams favour. the dockers vs the pussycats who had better pull out their claws if they are going to do battle with the anchor. a freo win will see the dockers surpass the cats on the ladder by two and a win by us would give us a stronger foothold on the eight. the pressure, the pressure and perhaps the expectation after knocking off the reigning premier. should be a good game and a bigger attendance but if you are coming just for the car well then poo poo to you...i hope it goes to someone who truly deserves it!!!
      well my guest tipster big ivan faired reasonably well last week considering not many would have tipped PORT or the lions for that matter. however,this week i would like to introduce you to my new guest tipster who shares the same initials as moi. she is a long time devoted and passsionate power supporter. we went to the first game in melbourne to see the POWER smash the demons in their season debut. in fact maria and i also went to the same local primary school, to the same teachers college and now we work together at the same school as colleagues. some of my fondest memories of childhood involve walking to her parents fish and chip shop...the infamous Jack's. legendary and of the days when things were completely homemade. i remember my dad would send me there to buy two hamburgers with the lot. the fish shop had a juke box which is now housed in my friends loungeroom and has been fully restored. i can still see her gorgeous mum smiling, such a warm and friendly face and such a beautiful family. but what i also vividly recall is the way my dad would unwrap the first hamburger and sit at the table while us kids watched like hungry, pesky, little seagulls. it would seem an eternity that he would torture us with the delicious smell and the vision of him devouring that homemade burger. but of course in the end he would cut up the second one and we would gulp it down as quick a a pelican would shovel a fish into its bill...those were the days and childhood was sweet.
     so from my dear friend and esteemed colleague the tips for this week are west coast by 17, swans, crows, POWER, cats, demons, hawks, the roos and the saints. mm, must say looking at them myself i am surprised she has gone for the saints and the demons. i guess we will just have to wait and see. and of course she also has her eye on the prize so if it's not my mum or me i would happy to see the renault go to my wonderful friend.
    and to another interesting twist which could affect the standings on the ladder. jobe watson has admitted to taking the anti-obesity drug. listening to the talkback radio the feeling in the air is that perhaps essendon may lose premiership points and that watson could be stripped of his brownlow. well all i will say about that is something i re-iterated before concerning football and the pursuit of winning. personally i believe it is just a crutch and is certainly not a positive way to instill in young players who already possess the talent, the skill and the genetics to just get out there and do their best. what about passion folks?? what about the time when players had a fulltime job and trained and let off steam at the pub? i bet some of those blokes are glad they were never under the same pressure as the players of todays game, apart from perhaps not minding their pay packets. well i guess it remains to be seen just as it remains to be seen if we can claim another worthy scalp to boost our respectability factor. i will wait for saturday to find out and in the meantime continue to do my good deeds for the day!!! anyone need their dinner made? perhaps i can sing for some senior citizens??? perhaps i should get the week off after all it is ladies round so you blokes get off your bums and get into the kitchen. bring out those vacuum cleaners and polish that silver because you never know with all that extra help around the house you might just kick the winning goal...wink,wink nudge,nudge say no more!!! hee,hee...love FFFXXX
