AFL Round 1 2017 Results

Before getting to the AFL Round 1 2017 results I wanna congratulate the Crows women for winning the AFLW Grand final. They’ve done us proud and now it’s up to the guys to follow their great example. Check this article to see a great photo of Erin Philips with her kids in the grand finals cup. Great shot. Check out this post to see her inauguration into the Hot Sports Babe Hall Of Fame. :tup:

Now for Fortuna’s AFL Round 1 2017 Results!

Considering it was the first round I reckon those results were pretty good. There were definitely some upsets in the AFL Round 1 2017 Results. Take the Essendon vs Hawthorn game for example. I don’t think too many people would have picked Essendon to win. Shit, even the Gold Coast vs Brisbane game can be considered an upset. Have to admit though, those punters that backed Brisbane using William Hill as their online bookie would have been pretty wrapped with their winnings with William Hill’s $3.55 odds!!

Speaking of another great win, how good were the Adelaide Crows? Good enough to make my first bet of the AFL season a winning bet, that’s how good they were. Lucky too, otherwise those Power fans, another upset if you ask me, would have given us heaps. As it was I reckon it was great that both South Aussie teams managed a great win to start off their 2017 AFL season. :drunk:

As far as news articles go on the AFL round 1 upsets I reckon that news.co.au was the best with their Incredible Night Of Comebacks article.

As for the Adelaide Crows game, Fox Sports said that the Crows produced the best performance of round one! Not bad considering they the preseason flag favourites.

All in all I say it was a pretty good start to the 2017 AFL season.

Just to finish off I give your a great shot of the 2017 AFLW Premiers.

AFL Round 23 Results

Fortuna's AFL Round 23 Results

There are two things that really pissed me off about Fortuna’s AFL Round 23 Results. The first is only partly her fault, and that is that out of all her picks I had to include all her losing picks as part of my Sportsbet multi-bet. In my defence I was sure that those three games would turn out to be winners.

Adelaide Loses To West Coast

Come on! How the hell did the Crows allow West Coast to beat them at home? Especially when a win meant so much to them. Now, instead of securing a top two spot they’re in 5th spot. I totally agree with Tom Lynch when he calls that game the Crows worst performance of the year. Lynch said…

Sixteen wins and six losses — you could say it’s been a pretty solid year, but with what was on hand last night and the opportunity that lay before us, it was really disappointing.

To me they just didn’t have their heart in the game. There were way too many time when they literally handed the ball to West Coast. They had 78 turn overs compared to West Coasts 66!

Fans certainly couldn’t complain about the free kicks either as the Crows received 20 frees compared to the Eagles 12!

The Eagles also had 78 intercepted possessions compared to the Crows 66. The Eagles efficiency inside 50 also left the Crows lacking,m 58% compared to the Crows 47%!

All Crows fans can hope for now is that this loss will spur the players to greater efforts in the finals. They’ve worked too hard to give up now.

As for the Carlton vs Essendon game. I say good on Essendon for getting another win with all the shit their club has had to put up with recently.

As there is a bye this week I need to work out what to post this week. Maybe another Hot Sports Babes Post? What would you like to see?

 

AFL Round 22 Results

AFL Round 22 Results Fortuna Does Better

Fortuna AFL Round 22 Results

I’m glad to say that Fortuna did a whole lot better with her round 22 AFL tips. As you can see from the image above Fortuna’s AFL Round 22 results are pretty good getting only two tips wrong. These were the West Coast vs Hawthorn and Carlton vs Melbourne games. Probably the only one that would have confused most punters tipsters was the Carlton vs Melbourne game

Unfortunately for me I backed Hawthorn to win and they played dismally. They couldn’t even win one quarter which meant I missed out on getting my money back from Sportsbet.

Probably the biggest AFL fiasco last week was the banana skin throwing incident. This was where a female Port Power supporter threw and banana skin at Eddie best. The Age was just one of many media that reported on this incident.

All I want to know is what the hell was this woman thinking? Does she not realise that her own club has seven or so indigenous players? I can’t believe that she missed out on all they hype over the Adam Goodes incident in the recent past. By all rights she should have known better. She’s definitely old enough to know better.

At least other Port supporters were quick to denounce her actions.

Banning her from future games should definitely occur but a life time ban is probably over the top. I feel Port’s idea of her being involved in Port’s Aboriginal cultural awareness programs is a brilliant idea. Maybe this way she will be able to better understand how wrong her actions were.

OK, now that all that shit is behind us its almost time to have a look at this weeks AFL tips. Stay tuned for the up and coming post.
