The King!
Chosen One
I felt bad no one was doing the preview . But so many do a good job, I suck at them, lose interest. But let's get it started. Apologies to Essendon fans, not for the preview , just that you chose to support such a ratshit sports side.
It is Good to be back doing previews after doing the 22 grand final and the 2016 grand final previews. It is nice to be paid to write about footy.
Oh this is unpaid . ... ****en great
I don't like writing previews, never know what to say and I am not into in depth analysis. Who the **** will read this anyway, who cares . Can talk about whatever I want. How good was Ted Lasso, better the more you watch it. Like the Beard episode first time through I was like WTF, enjoyed it the next few times. You pick up different stuff and connections through the series, If you like it, watch it start to finish again, now it is all there. Not much else on Apple Tv, though that Adam Scott one is ok where he has a separate work/life self- what's it's called, I could delete this part and look it up, umm Severance- check it out. Not the greatest show ever but worth a look.
'
Anyway why did I say I would do the Essendon preview? well because **** them. Pack of drug cheating assholes. Their fans seem to share on tin foil covered brain, they think they are hard done by, it was a conspiracy , nah **** that you tried to cheat.
You were flying up the ladder until the injections stopped. But I digress .
Let's talk about some great Swans Essendon moments at random. Though first a word from my sponsor ..... Oh I don't have one , well this is awkward. Do you ever wonder who worked out what plants, vegetables , minerals etc were ok to eat? how many cavemen died eating shit they shouldn't? Guess it's like who decided on language than how to teach others? someone pointed to a rock and said that's a rock and everyone agreed? great
Ok well let's start with the 1996 prelim. The cheats beat the eagles by facing them for an Eagles home final in the semi at subiaco....oh wait it was at the MCG? oh ok so Essendon won, Then they lost the week after by a point to Plugger on one leg. Then they sulked about Dunkley scratching Hird, boo hoo.
Also I grew up where people would boil curried sausages and make it like a casserole in a pot, But fry the sausages up and then do the curry in the pan, fry the spices off, more intense curry flavour .
Remember in 2012 when Courtney Dempsey played on after the siren and we won , we led by 47 at three quarter time and you won't believe it but we let them comeback. we were up 11 goals to 2 then as the siren goes we are leading by 4 points ha ha no shot for you, Plus they traded premiership player and all Australian Ted Richards
to us for the Dempsey pick.
What's the appeal of camping ! ? I don't get it.
2017 we got the fun double, Mark Rohan kicks a goal to win after Goddard the dickhead plays on straight into Papley. Then we meet them in the finals and thump the shit out of them , Essendon haven't won a final for almost 7000 days .
Anyway I sort of imagined doing a whole list of reasons I dislike Essendon, but I can't be bothered . I mean does anyone like Essendon? they aren't good to watch, they are mostly irrelevant . They haven't won since methuselah was a baby or since the salary cap was policed correctly .
This particular game how will it be won? I reckon by the team who scores more than the other, I'd try and score more.
Sydney by 123 , Buddy to kick 19 and break Fred Fannings record .
Or if we do lose let's just claim a moral victory or say that we missed Sam Reid
out. Let's ignore junk and talk footy
Same fast thoughts
Winner: Sydney
Will Horse pick a ruckman as sub: nah Clarke again
Will Clarke come on early: yep with 6
minutes to go in the 4th quarter
Will Punts mention Dylan Stephens
in the preview thread: Yep by page 2
Will an Essendon fan try to come in and talk sensibly and wonder why they bothered : Yeah probably , poor bastard
Can You take me to meet Lance Franklin? no
How can Isaac Heeney
kick straight for goal? can you give him any tips? Yes think of your mum Isaac , She's not bad for an old girl
Margot Robbie or Kate Upton? Tough choice feel like Margot and I have more in common as Australians
Is it potato cake or potato scallop : It's potato cake and if you disagree sign out now
