who let all the black cats out at alberton???

friggin footballs who let all the black cats out at alberton? no wingard, robbie gray last week, the wizard still out and now big man loebbe added to the injury list, WAH WAH WAH...how much worse could it possibly get? whispers of boak not training and big bad charlie with the flu. looks like i am going to have to borrow big ivy's work truck and go and do a black cat round up myself, apologies cat owners, hee,hee.... your cat can be collected for a fee and will be well cared for, all proceesds to lady army fundraising.

     well have you breathed a sigh of relief fans? personally i thought the team effort was much better, not perfect but certainly glimpses of the footy the team are capable of. 99 tackles, great pressure, the makeshift ruck seemed to work against mugarutz (maric). and how about impey? about time his speed paid off, well done to him for his bag of goals and  to polec who i thought recreated some of that fine form that had gone missing since his big spell. i thought the ins were reasonable but i did wonder if big butch was going to be thrown into the mix because of the height and crashing pack factor. playing small and quick paid off this time (because it didn't last year) and the back six have improved with the speed from oshea and the footy nous of the krak. god i loved his one step goal (good thinking polly) and what about broadbents bomb? and what about the coaching? poor bastards under the pump, gotta give them some credit too. perhaps being forced to think outside the box and get a little more creative will pay dividends, time will tell... also well done to lady army representative and her power converts, hee,hee, for making it to the match. her enthusiasm and belief was second to none, apologies tiger fans but the heat is on you now.

     well son number two and i scored 7 from nine. my reverse psychology tip paid off but our melbourne one didn't. i tipped GWS but wouldn't have predicted that flogging so it actually may put our loss in just a little perspective. however, that dosn't excuse that woeful game. the giants are certainly notching up some humungous wins. the AFL have created a monster and some may just feel that perhaps it is time to bring those concessions to a halt, mm...i wonder who that could be??? we shall just have to wait and see. one part of me says they have yet to notch up any finals experience which could go against them. another part of me says having no fear and nothing to lose could very well play into their hands. but does that really come as any surprise? probably not. the competition is evening out and the way the games are panning out this round i say the final end of the eight is going to be tight and will come down to percentage.

     so what can we expect from this round fans? wingard and trengoove back in the side. i suspect they will get trengove to ruck along with dixon and wolfman. hopefully little elvis ( wingard) has been left feeling hungry and is ready to feast upon some goals. the lions will certainly not be the easybeats some may suspect. they were very unlucky to lose last week but i am counting on the power mums to give their boys a stern talking to demanding a mamma's day win and the box of chocolates. i am also putting in a request to the weather gods to look kindly upon us power mammas and to provide us with a rain free match and to the footy gods a win would be eternally grateful, appreciated, loved, have us jumping for joy, giving benefits to our partners, (wink, wink u know what i mean) so i suspect there may be some praying to you right now...LOL!!!

     ok so that about does it. my round 7 tips were/are...hawks by 43 ( not bad) pies (poo, poo) swans, demons ( looks like another loss for them) giants, cats ( not surprised) roos and of course power to switch back on after our miserable loss to the lions last year. so to all footy mums and mamma's in general, happy, happy mamma's day to you. i hope you are more than appreciated, spoilt and made to feel even more loved than you usually are...

big love,big hugs and kisses for mothers day
