thoughts on the copeland trophy 2015

• most of my predictions came true, like the obvious ones (gooey and jamie's awards and pendles coming first, and swanny second)
• i had crispy, tay and sidey in my top 5 so that's cool. 
• i knew langdon would be in the top 10 (he was 5th after round 17 or whatever and i was hoping he would keep that spot but oh well, next year)
• thank god nathan j. brown got recognised for all his hard work and being a great bloke, he really deserves it ABOUT BLOODY TIME lol god bless. and then at the end of his speech, he's like "i better wrap it up now b/c i'll finish it when i pick up the copeland later" omg
• i picked varcoe and brown to get in the top 10 and they did, but i am disappointed fazzy didn't get in there. sigh. he probably got 11th. lol. (i looked at west coast's top 10 during the night and couldn't see sharrod so it doesn't even matter if you don't make the top 10, you're still a valuable player)
• tay's girlfriend alex wore the same dress as alex davis
• benken rocked up to the copeland presumably for the free booze and he's bored of soloing to the movies every night
• glad they mentioned (and invited) young, dwyer, manteit, patty k and T.A.'s new journalism career, they deserve recognition!!!! there's at least two afl/vfl premierships between them all!!!!
• caff's having a baby
• they're all going to bali today/tomorrow/idk for the king and queen's wedding
• we're stuck with pendles for another 4 years 
• fazzy introduced the gordon coventry award and i died 
• jonathon marsh took his mum as his date awww
• i didn't see the timster all night, i am disappointed, lol i wonder if he was solo or had his dumb girlfriend there I WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW
• i assume fazzy went with ox and benken, and not izy lol
• seedsy sat at home, watching the livestream, and crying (I DON'T KNOW OKAY BUT IF HE'S HUMAN THEN HE CRIED AND CRAWLED BACK TO COLLINGWOOD WITH HIS TAIL BETWEEN HIS LEGS)
• fuck why didn't collingwood sign seedsy back in april 
• or at least when he kicked that goal against freo
• so mad
• ugh
• if he'd just been signed back in april-june then everything would've been fine
• if only benken hadn't been dropped after the dogs game WOW HE MISSED ONE SET SHOT THAT WAS 30-40 METRES OUT ON AN ANGLE, HE ISN'T SUPERMAN
• oh oh and ben moloney won the vfl best player SO DESERVING
• he drives from geelong three times a week for training and loves it
• he could easily switch to geelong's vfl team or get a game wherever he wants but HE'S SIGNED ON TO OUR VFL TEAM FOR ANOTHER YEAR
• GOD BLESS
• HE GETS PAID PEANUTS AS A VFL PLAYER AND WORKS ANOTHER JOB BUT HE LOVES COLLINGWOOD
• HE LOVES US
• HE LOVES VICTORIA PARK

and yeah

bye

LIST

lol we pretty much sucked against Richmond, hahahaha it was awful.
but no worries, we were 8-3 at the bye (which was pretty damn good) and endured some honourable losses (especially the one where we scared hawthorn) and got to see some very talented young guys in the seniors (especially ones we've waited FOREVER to see, like scharenberg).

Anyway.
It would be super nice to beat geelong, mostly b/c winning is fab and it's great to sing the song at the end and it's extra great seeing us kick lots of goals and see all the PDA lol who cares that we "have nothing to play for" WE HAVE EVERYTHING TO PLAY FOR. WINNING IS EVERYTHING.

list:

• 8284 x Alex Fasolo (siiiigh, the poor kid, he really does try hard ugh)
• 1 x Mason Cox (SO SO SO SO GOOD IN THE VFL TODAY, HIS MARKS INSIDE 50!!!!! GOALS!!!!!!)
• 1 x Jarrod Witts 
• 8724 x Dane Swan (he's just really fab okay omg why isn't everyone like swanny)
• 1 x Matthew Scharenberg
• 1 x 20 cent coin for Matthew Scharenberg so he stays at the pies

• 22 x books titled "how to look what you're kicking the ball to for dummies" lol 
• 2324 x books titled "how to kick a goal for dummies" lollllll goals are fun
• 1 x black hole opening up in front of joel selwood when he goes for his next run
• 1 x Seedsy to share the 50th game celebrations with sinclair
• 1 x Adam Oxley (i guess so) (he's literally just mopping around, may as well use the kid) (that's not a typo) (oxleymoron)
• 1 x hair removal cream for Tom Hawkins' shampoo lol

idk whatever

i'll send this bucks, we can't lose next week :)

TRUST ME, FRIENDS, I'VE GOT THIS 

MUCH NEEDED LIST FOR BUCKS

okay, so we've just endured a sixth loss in a row. SIXTH LOSS. HOW HAVE WE EVEN SURVIVED THIS LONG. shit.
anyway, i guess we're going fine and developing young guys and getting games into the kids, and also losing Trav for a few games, so obviously we have to deal with losses just like any rebuilding team does. (and considering most goals this season have come from trav and jamie, and neither of them are at full fitness soooo how else do we get goals)

BUT
i will do a list for Bucks b/c i am bored and have expert knowledge to give (i have nothing)

• 274782 x Alex Fasolo, lol fuck he's the sexiest babe of all time ilysm let's clone him, the world needs more of this angel
• 1 x Jarryd Blair
• 1 x Clinton Young (hey, guess who has an undefeated record against Carlton?????)
• 924 x Travis Varcoe SHIT THIS GUY, HE'S AMAZING, HI HELLO GEELONG WOW DO YOU HAVE ANY MORE OF THIS GUY, WE'LL TAKE ALL OF THEM
• 1 x Travis Cloke, one-legged or not
• 20 x "how to kick straight to a collingwood player for dummies" for basically all of them idk

• 1 x 20 cent coin for Josh Thomas so he doesn't give up on his AFL career

yeah i got nothing else.

look, we'll be right if we have clinton young next week. we've never destroyed anyone's amazing statistic before. (i'm joking, 6 weeks ago Varcoe had this amazing stat of the best win/loss record in the AFL ha ha ha)

(ha)

(soz Varcoe)

(no but i don't think six losses would destroy a really good win/loss thingy, right????? IT'S ONLY 6 LOSSES, THE WORLD DIDN'T BURN DOWN!!!!)

OBLIGATORY LIST

so. we thought we were good. but we lost to geelong and that just sucks. we were never really in it after geelong kicked 5 goals in a minute in the 1st quarter. oops.

a list is needed, i guess. hi bucks, yes i'll get right on it, i know just what you need to beat Richmond. and we do need to beat Richmond. Not just for the 4 points or whatever, but because it's Richmond.

I hope we win next week. I like winning. That was really fun. Yeah.

LIST #82842 idk

So, we lost to Adelaide. We can't kick. We suck. No but really, we're okay, we're fine, but maybe another list for Bucks will get the wheels moving again.

Also we need to beat St Kilda. Like there's no other option. And we need to get our best team ready for ANZAC day b/c we need to win there too. Also we need to beat Carlton b/c deep down Mick would want a Collingwood win when he celebrates passing Jock's record.
