"BALL UP!" - Val's 2021 Aussie Rules Footy Tipping *Open to Everyone*
Sorry I'm late again, I'm just not with it of late. Demons 4
Swans
Crows
Bombers
Eagles
Dogs
Sorry again!
who knows what 'it' is these days? i think i'm almost totally without 'it'!
Hmmm? ... I tried my very best to hang on to 'it' for as long as I possibly could but 'it' still managed to escape somehow and do a runner! - LOL!!! ;>
Tonight's result:Melbourne Demons (TheFoe) v Brisbane Lions (David)
2.3.15 (Q1) 4.4.28
5.4.34 (Q2) 8.6.54
10.9.69 (Q3) 10.8.68
14.13.97 (Q4) 11.9.75
The Lions may have led for most of the game but it was the Demons proving that they are in fact the real deal this year. That man tech does it again with his tip of the Dees by 17 points and thus earns another $7.00 for Oscar's Law. Well done!
YAYYY!!! - Congratulations tech!!! ... x ;o>
Well i'm just relieved that i picked the right team...not had that much luck on the first games going by my ridiculous huge margin I've built up! Anyhoo...congrats Techy Boi. :)
I still don't get it but perhaps it means something quite different in Wales?! - LOL!!! ;o>
Yes, Duke, I know! ... but I'm just wondering if you know? ;o>Where it originated from and what it still means within the LGBTQ community?
Oh don't complicate things with all that modern speak. Where i come from 'Boi' is just just another way of saying 'man'! If the LBGTQ+ community have nicked it for their own purposes, then that's their business..i'm using it in the tradition sense! As in Aye Boi......or "hello man!" :)
Ahhh I see?!! - so it's Welsh for the word 'Boy' ... ! ;o>It has always been considered to be an extremely offensive racial slur used by white people towards black people in many places including here in Manchester - as well as being a term that is frequently used within the LGBTQ community.
You had me very confused there for a while! ;o>
Bedtime for me now anyway ... as I didn't go to Bed at all last night because I got far too caught up in searching for things, checking out Reviews, and then buying loads of bits and bobs from Amazon off M&D's extremely looooooong Shopping List! ;o>
And, with very grateful thanks to Amazon for yet another offer of a Free Trial of Prime, most of it should all be arriving here later on today! - YAYYY!!! ;o>

Uh......nno. 'Boy' in welsh is bachgen! 'Boi' is just a generic urban slang term for man, male, men...or at least it used to be! And not necessarily specific to Wales either.
Anyway...at the risk of making this any more complicated...let's just end it here shall we! ;-)

Gee it's getting tight at the top! Not that it's something I have to worry about - I can't take a trick these days. Congrats to our three winners this week. Nice work gents!
N.B.!!!! Because Melbourne is currently under lockdown, all our State borders are closed. Most Melbourne teams have been hiding out in Sydney so are free to travel to South Australia/Western Australia etc without having to undergo 14 days quarantine. However the scheduled Thursday night game has everyone in a quandary. Geelong was technically in lockdown until Thursday past. South Australia would give them an exemption to play in Adelaide if they could fly in/fly out on the same day but airline timetables don't allow for this. SO, we don't know whether the Thursday game will go ahead or not; or whether the fixture may be moved to Friday or Saturday. You can either submit your tips based on what I've listed below or wait for further notice. It's all very fluid here!!If anyone would like to view the AFL Ladder before submitting next week's tips, it's at http://www.afl.com.au/ladder
ROUND 13 fixtures are:
Thursday June 10
Port Adelaide Power v Geelong Cats (in Adelaide)
Friday June 11
Sydney Swans v Hawthorn Hawks (in Sydney)
Saturday June 12
Fremantle Dockers v Gold Coast Suns (in Perth)
St Kilda Saints v Adelaide Crows (in Cairns)
Sunday June 13
North Melbourne Kangaroos v GWS Giants (in Hobart)
West Coast Eagles v Richmond Tigers (in Perth)
Monday June 14
Melbourne Demons v Collingwood Magpies (in Sydney)
If punters could lodge their tips by midnight WEDNESDAY June 9 (your time) it would be a great help, although I can accept them up until 10.30am THURSDAY (your time) if absolutely necessary.
YAYYY!!! - Congratulations Sussex!!! ... x ;o>And very well-punted Philip and tech ... x x ;o>

Awww bless you, Val, and thank you. I was all ready to Punt on the day but I'm afraid it's been one of those sad and bad plus weird and downright extraordinary weeks all week long and it ended up in just completely slipping my Mind that I hadn't done so already.

I forgot to alert you all to the curse of the sacked coach : Murphy's Law states that as soon a coach is sacked/resigns because of poor results, that team will win their next game. Nathan Buckley of Collingwood fell on his sword last week and today's game was his last in charge. So natch, the team won! I knew it would happen and I still tipped the Dees!

Congrats to Suzy - all her underdogs came through for her. And we have a new leader - Nick swings past tech to take the top spot - but there's plenty others waiting in the wings. Well done to all you smart folk. I wish I could regain some form!
