i'm heavily invested in the AFL wooden spoon market - i like "coming last" markets in sporting events - its hard to come last for most teams - there are usually only a couple of teams that can do it - this year pre-season there were 2 front runners - the dogs who won it last year, and the blues who have been ravaged by draft penalties after breaching the salary cap a couple of years ago as well as generational change - the blues however did a smart thing after the turmoil of getting caught cheating the draft - they spent all thier remaining money on a proven coach

i dont reckon a former premiership coach is capable of coaching the team that comes last so i've layed the blues heavily - 850 odd english pounds at about 2.6/1 - so far the blues are 1-2 whilst the dogs are 0-3 - i'm loving the blues

tonight its the blues and the bombers at the G - traditional melbourne rivals - i'm excited

manilla later - as usual its all good

usual rules - if you dont know them check out past $20 if you guess right posts - only short handed posters from the last week and suits dont matter

10/20 6 max - its 5 handed, i'm UTG and the cutoff posts - i get Kd9d - i raise - cutoff, button and BB call

flop is 10h Ad 9h - the BB checks - i bet - the cutoff and button call and the BB folds

turn is Kc - thats handy - i bet - the cutoff folds and the button calls

river is 3h - i bet and the button calls

we are the navy blues
the old dark navy blues
were the team that never lets you down
were the team that comes from carlton town

i wish i could give you the tune to sing it to - easily the best team song

I'm torn between QJ, A3 and JT/J9. A3 has gone already, and looks too obvious anyway. I suspect that CO folded a T or 9, which makes me favour the QJ option. I also suspect your "that's handy" remark to be ironic.

the blues showed some form but got overrun by a brutal bombers team - lost in the manilla game

good news is i'm keeping the cash - Kh8c
