I don't think I have ever been so damn keen on the AFL footy season to begin.
When I first started getting into footy, it was in the late 80's. I hated footy before that. But when I finally chose my current team, after first choosing the bulldogs, and then Sydney, I settle on Hawthorn, after they won the 89 grand final. I am sure that's why I picked them. My mate went for Geelong, hawks beat them, and I decided to go for the Hawks.
Apart from 1991, we haven't had any real success. Last year, we went damn well, so this year, I am so excited. i know we won't go all the way, but I am sure we'll only be going up from here on in.
I actually listened to last nights Blues vs Tigers game, I am that desperate for the footy. But I cannot wait til Sunday arvo, when the Hawks take on the Demons. Hopefully we win with 4 of our main guys out.
SO, to begin the 2008 tipping, here are my tips for this weekend. I know I am one day late, but I picked the Blues last night, so it's ok. Plus who would tip over Geelong? Only dickheads from SA!!! Here they are......
Blues over Tigers (damn that FEV!!)
Cats over Port (No-one surely would pick Port)
Pies over Freo
Saints over Swans
Eagles over Lions
Crows over Dogs
HAWKS over Demons
Bombers over Roos
So there you have it. Everyone have a good weekend, and I'll chat to y'all later
