Round 13. All downhill from here.

I went to the footy sunday. I was happy. I won't bore you beyond that.

Here's what you got up to last weekend and where you finished up at the end of it:

HEADS'n'BALLS

Anything I could add here would be redundant, so I won't.

Taffa is HOT on Harv's tail. He's just in a different suburb, if not state. If not country. 

Both picked 2 this week.

 

R12 Wash-up

Late, so just the ladder, no blether. Basically everyone got either 8 (especially the leaders) or 7 (those looking to and failing to make up some ground.
Apparently there's a new game in town this week with a round ball. Having watched a game last monday where one team kicked 3 goals (well 4 if you count the one the umps stole back) and got a total of 5 free kicks (and still managed to get a totally dogy deliberate outa bounds paid against them) now may be a good time to make the switch. And get some free melodrama thrown in.

PunchDrink #2 is on Thursday 26th (Thursday week). Let me know by then if you're pre-paying for the finals.

HEADS'n'BALLS

Hopefully you saw some of the newly discovered footage of the great John Coleman last week. I believe it was found in a box under someone's bed with a cache of old Peters Ice Cream sticks and a gross of Lifebuoy Soap.
Coleman was good, but I remember watching the great Peter Hudson, and my Dad taking me up to get his autograph at Tulla in the early 70s.

Harv got both JC and PH, Taffa got PH.

ROUND 11: BERNIE FEELIN' MIGHTY FINE

It took 11 weeks but finally someone's done it. One hundred and sixty dollars later, Bernie's gone and pulled it out and waved it about. Fresh from 3 rounds of byes, with dry powder and a wet sail, timing his run to perfection Bernie, Phelo, Burny Feelin, has Jacked the Pot. He's got 160 bucks we've got buckly's, we're back to scratch.

Congrats Bern, the cheque's in the mail. But by the way, have you paid up yet?

Which reminds me now is the time to decide if you want pay up for the finals as well as the H & A season. $70 now as opposed to $80 at season's end, assuming you make it (do I need to keep telling you this? I'm really not sure). Let's say the drop-dead for decision AND payment if you take it up is Thursday 26 June, which also happens to be the next PunchDrink.

To the laddery bit and last week we had a few Drunks all crammed into the same small space at the top of the stairs. now we're back to one. The Franco one. 2 clear and looking a real danger again. He's done it before, he'll do it again one day.

HEADS'n'BALLS

You probably can't remember, but when I put this one up the topic de semaine was racism, the recipient of abuse (that week) was good old Goodesy who fights the good fight through actions and a few well-chosen words.
Go back in the way-back machine a lazy 78 years and the man donning that mantle was Jesse Owen who tore Adolph superiority complex to shreds single-handed. Some things don't seem to progress much.

No real surprises here, Harv got 2. Taffa seems hot in pursuit, he got Goodesy, but traded his hero for a villain coming up with OJ Simpson.
