YAY.

Fun fact: Collingwood has never beaten North Melbourne by more than 113 points since 1926 or something.

And, much to the radio commentators' excitement (and mine), the Pies made history, thrashing the Kangas by 117 points.
Steele Sidebottom, in his 50th game, kicked 4 goals. :D
And Lachlan Keeffe made his debut, took a few strong marks, etc.

2nd-gamer Lukey Rounds had the job on Brent Harvey, and holy crap, he actually did a good job! Rounds managed to stick with the Kangas skipper for most of the day, limiting him to 2 goals and just 12 disposals.

Swanny is well and truly fit from his relaxing holiday at the Magical Gypsy Land of Healing. He managed about 38 disposals, and 2 goals.

Not all good news for Collingwood, with my pretend boyfriend Daisy Thomas getting an ankle injury just before half time.
I'm not really sure what happened, but he came back on the field in the 3rd quarter and got some possessions and another goal, so I thought that everything was okay.
But just before 3/4 time, Daisy was substituted, so the ankle injury must have been worse. idk.

Oh and Alex Fasolo managed to keep up his 1-goal-per-game quota. Four for you, Alex, go you good thing!!

Top of the ladder, yo.

FUN.

Collingwood are one step closer to being Top Of The Ladder again.

Because Essendon beat the pussy cats.
Hahahaha.
:P

Basically, Collingwood and Geelong have the same amount of losses and once Geelong have their second bye, we're moving on up to higher ground, where the grass is greener, the view is magnificent, and the food is fabulous. We don't have to sit underneath, waiting for the scraps, having poop and kitty litter falling on our heads.

It will be marvelous.

WINNING.

And Collingwood beat the Dogs today. Yay!

I only listened to it on the radio (stupid TV is stupid) but the dude above, Heath Shaw, was marvellous in defence.
And the scores were level in the 2nd quarter and then, level in the 4th quarter. So, it was a really close game. Especially just before 3/4 time, when the Dogs kicked 3 goals or some shit, and were only 8 points down. :/.

But luckily, a Kangaroo- reject named Leigh Brown had his kicking boots on in the last quarter, and when the scores were tied, he booted four goals. Nice.
And that's not all. Richmond-reject Krakouer got 2 goals. :P

And Steele Sidebottom ended up with 3 goals! He's so awesome, always grinning cheekily. Or he seems like he's grinning cheekily, okay, I don't know.

Apparently, Cam Wood played a good game too. Sucks for him, though, because I'm sure Jolly will be okay in 2 weeks time and Browny kicked arse today. Eh, Woody is still young, he'll get his moment. :D

Anyway, cbf recapping the whole game. Collingwood won by 48 points or something, but that was only because they stacked on the goals at the end. It was sort of like the Essendon game, I guess. Meh.

Top of the ladder, yo.

WINNING.

The radio commentators described this as: "Swanny flying gracefully... like a swan."

Anyway, Collingwood thrashed Richmond's pants off last night. :P
Swanny and Daisy = awesome. They both kicked a few goals, took a fabulous mark and interviewed by Tim Watson at the end of the game.
(But they didn't end the interview with "Okay, mate" in Mark Thompson-esque style. I was slightly disappointed. Haha.)

And little Puckasaurus kicked one goal (his tally is now 11) but he isn't the leading goalkicker anymore. :(
He did have several chances to kick more goals but due to some unselfishness, he handballed it off to someone else. GOAL ASSISTS WILL NOT WIN YOU THE COLEMAN MEDAL, JARRYD BLAIR! Get that into your little head.

Anyhoo, the little guy turned 21 a few days ago. He celebrated by going out to dinner with a few friends, but I WASN'T INVITED. Whut.
Ugh.

In other news, JHutch continues to be cast as Peeta. Blahhh. I hoped that this would some late April Fools joke, that Josh Hutcherson wasn't really in the movie, that they had actually chosen Chord Overstreet but couldn't tell anyone now because that would be spoiling the end of the McKinley High Prom where Blaine and Sam fight to the death, both wanting to get it on in the backseat of the limo with Kurt, and because Darren Criss is some kind of LIFE RUINER, he pushes Sam off a cliff. Sad, sad ending. BUT NOW, CHORD OVERSTREET IS FREEEEEEE! Free to play the baker's son, the boy with the bread, the gorgeous Peeta. Yay.

Let's play Real Or Not Real with these two pictures:

NOT REAL. This is Photoshopped. As if JHutch would go near a loaf of bread. I mean, really. He's too much of a prat.


REAL. Chord Overstreet holding a piece of PITA BREAD. And that's probably lamb stew with plums on the bread. The clues are obvious! We found the perfect Peeta! Yay!

The end.
P.S. James Hird, if you are reading this, YOU'RE GOING DOWN. Bring it on.

YAY.

In the middle of round 14, this is how the ladder stands.
And the team at the top is the most awesome team ever. :D.
So, in order for the ladder to stay like this, Melbourne and North Melbourne need to get their arses into gear. :P.

And I went to the West Coast vs Collingwood game.
It was really good, especially since Collingwood kicked 6 goals in the 1st quarter and West Coast kicked none. Haha.
And then, in the 3rd quarter, Collingwood kicked, like, 9 goals. And Didak really knows how to entertain a crowd. Like, the whole stadium was pretty much filled with Collingwood fans so when Didak kicked three goals in about 5 minutes, everyone was loving it. (Well, except the West Coast fans, but whatever).

And everytime Josh Kennedy was lining up for goal, everyone sitting near me would just laugh at his run-up. Aw. I like your stuttering run-up style, Josh Kennedy, I think it's awesome. :D.

And yeah.
Oh and I nearly got 8 in my footy tipping (if St Kilda, Geelong and Sydney win) but Essendon and their hopelessness just had to let me down. Booooo. I took a risk in tipping Essendon anyway, but I thought they were capable of winning a game interstate. FAIL WHALE.

Speaking of playing games in Adelaide, Collingwood has to go to Adelaide to play Port Adelaide. Oh yeah, get ready Port Adelaide, be ready for a thrashing. :P.
And it's Dale Thomas and Harry O'Brien's 100th game! Yay.

So yeah.
Say hi to your mum for me, etc etc.
