NoWhiners Posted March 15 #1 Share Posted March 15 Hi mates I was reminded last week that the season was starting. I meant to start this thread then but I got distracted! I went and checked the standings and, to my relief and surprise, the Swans are 2-0. What a nice way to start. So, who ate the favorites to win it all this year? Which teams did the most to improve during the off-season? Can the Swans keep it up? Let's get this party started 😁 Special thanks to possum52 for the reminder. (And we play Essendon this week?? Good luck to both teams!) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoWhiners Posted March 15 Author #3 Share Posted March 15 Thanks Mic. been a busy year--new puppies, trip t Galapagos and Macchu Picchu, then a trip around the Med and a TA home, returned just in time for Xmas. Now I can follow the Swans, without Buddy 😞 Hoping the Swans can keep it up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisegroover Posted March 16 #4 Share Posted March 16 No Whiners I wondered where you were glad to see you are still following the Swans. As for the favourites one big betting agency here had Collingwood, Brisbane, Carlton and GWS as top 4 a couple of weeks ago and of course now Collingwood are out of the 4 and Sydney in. The AFL had Brisbane, GWS, Collingwood and Adelaide. I like taking screenshots at the beginning of the season and compare end of season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWhiners Posted March 16 Author #5 Share Posted March 16 Yep, still here, thanks for the shout out! Still rooting for the Swans, can't break the habit. Hmm, Carlton?? I think they finished pretty well last year, if my memory serves, but I'm not so sure. I love the idea of taking screenshots at the beginning of the season and comparing it to the actual results. Maybe also send it to the person who made the prediction?? Can't hurt to keep them honest! Looking forward to another great season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks, I would rather watch paint dry. Hope your team does well. Plenty of football on today, I am watching my favourite code of Footall which is soccer here, happens to be a women's game as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to see the F1 locations--some are pretty exotic but I get tired of watching them drive in circles. The Port game is on here in a little while but I'll be asleep. Dam the time difference 😁 Women's games are often better than men, especially in basketball. Good onya for supporting the women. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted March 24 #15 Share Posted March 24 I enjoy watching the women in many sports as mostly they haven't got the power or strength of the men so their passing, skills and agility need to be good and the teamwork and timing better structured. This is the skill I enjoy, especially in soccer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted March 24 #16 Share Posted March 24 BTW, the Port/Tigers game has started with the 1st quarter is almost over. Port up by 11 over the Tigers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWhiners Posted March 24 Author #17 Share Posted March 24 Completely agree. Women play the game, not just run up and down the field (or court) and try to jam the ball into the net/goal. Lots more strategy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted April 1 #23 Share Posted April 1 Richmond Tigers won 11.16 (82) beat the Sydney Swans 11.11 (77). I didn't see the game but assume it was a wet , slushy game due to all the rain in Victoria on Sunday. Swans are 3 wins from 4 on 12 points, 5th spot due to their percentage. The top 6 all have 3 wins so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a drop of rain until mid yesterday afternoon in Melbourne when the Cats v Hawks game was stopped for a while due to a thunderstorm. It was murky though with smoke from burnoffs in the Dandenongs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted April 2 #25 Share Posted April 2 Our weather guy said Victoria was in for a lot of rain, perhaps it was Sunday nights news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
