AFL R14 - Port Pulverise Pies, Bombers Bask as Demetriou Bathes Belly

If ever a team's put its hand up for the final 8 it's gotta be Port Adelaide. But before we wax lyrical about the Power, spare a thought for Swans legend Adam Goodes, out for 6 weeks with a gammy leg, which is a coincidence as I'm out for 6 weeks with a gammy splint on me gammy hand. Here we are swapping gammy war wound stories outside surgery.

Adam Goodes & Uglybustard

Back to Port Power. Easybeats under Primus last year, now under the tutelage of one Kenneth Hinkley, overlooked for the Demons job, they are coming of age. Again, what does that say about Garry Lyon and their woefully inadequate coach selection process.

Unfortunately Port are doing my beloved Blues no favours as the teams they smash play us on the rebound the next week! However I am sure our plethora of number 1 draft pick talent will kick in.....by the time Juddy's in a zimmer frame.

Luckily for the Blues there is a final 9 this year, as the Essendon Performance Enhancing Drugs saga is bound to end with their not being allowed to play finals. Sad for Bomber fans after such a great season, but imagine the uproar if they won the flag. The AFL and Demetriou would be a global laughing stock (not such a bad thing you say?).  Meanwhile the Bombers maintain their innocence, expect to take the Premiership, players banned for 6 months over summer and be right for round one, 2014!

And what about those Demons! So impressed with their memory being able to belt the song out like that.

Roll the highlights reel Vangellis.  Noted for its shameless glorification of a team that has severely bent, if not completely broken the AFL rules.  Is the AFL painting themselves into a corner? Who is running the show while Demetriou suns his ample belly on his overseas holiday? Gillion 'snot-nosed-private schoolboy' McLachlan? Read on for round 14 highlights and the latest in Uglybustards tipping results.

AFL Results R9 - Goodsey the Great

There's been enough said about last Friday night's indigenous round about a 13 year old's racist comment with the media and social platform sites going berserk. For the record Twitter went crazy with tweets getting stuck right in. I tweeted to support the kid and copped more abuse than when I shoved @CowboySainter into a dog turd in the carpark after our clash in the early 80s. The flak I copped was as bad calling the Eagles and Adam Selwood the "Ducks"!! Well, almost. You can't keep an Eagles supporter quiet for long.

But I just wanna say Goodsey summed it up magnificently in his presser. Well done Goodsey. Send him a tweet @adamroy37 

On to the footy and more upsets than a rigged UFC tournament. Or maybe its just that I had another shocker, as the jackpot went off again. The Swans are back in form, the Pies are lookin dodgy, the Suns are rising fast, and the Crows come from the frickn clouds bootin the last 5 goals to snatch the un-snatchable with 16s on the clock!! Fair Dinkum Brad Scott must be on the pain-killers to numb his senses otherwise he'd be a ravin bloody lunatic by now, what wiv Norf goin' on holiday in time-on in the last korter every friggin week! And no ducking (typo?) Selwood this time.

Let's roll the tape for round 9. Kill the lights Stavros. And kill the volume too if you can't stand Bruce McAvaney creamin himself. Then continue on for the Uglybustards Tipping comp standings this week.
