Whether you were unspeakably hard done by at the weekend or just want to have a break from your bull dancing to tell everyone how good you went, you are now amongst friends, in a safe place.
We are in the trust tree here people, in the nest!
A relatively controlled evening of bourbon, euchre and late night streaking reflected a great weekend that could have been epic for Club 20 patrons.
Despite a 116% POT for Club 20, I can't help but feel frightfully hard done by again this week with Jack Martin falling just one disposal short of a 30-disposal game that would have returns over 40-1.
Martin's 29 touches coupled with my lack of faith in backing Dumont 35+ (at a similar price), and my shouldering arms to Jayden Stephensen to kick a bag after being on him every week this season have conspired to slightly sour my victory nutri-grain this morning.
And don't even get me started on Daisy Thomas. In what footy world does it take 16 mins to stitch an eyebrow (Killing me!). We had him for 25 and 30+ and he would have cleared easily had he not been injured. The fact that he was made to go off (blood rule) after he marked but BEFORE his disposal was literally insult to injury given he finished on 24 disposals!
A good weekend nonetheless but it could have been so, so great!
My lip picked up a bit as some perspective was delivered via twitter, with Club 20 regular @therescav being on Dumont for 40 touches at 360-1 only to fall 2 disposals short. With 2 minutes to go, Dumont was burnt badly short on the left back flank then right on the siren he had it in his hands yet opted to fumble it over the sideline instead of playing a handball.
Now THAT is a bad beat!
My tip of the cap for the weekend goes to another Club 20 bar fly in @jbarrett_16 who collected his Dumont 30+ / Zurhaar 4 Goals before the end of the third quarter yesterday. WOW!
Also, a shout out to the Stats Insider model which had a suggested bet on the Western Bulldogs to cover the +13.5 points handicap and also for a H2H win against Richmond Tigers. The Dogs definitely go the memo and delivered in style. A nice $3+ win for those who decided to #TrustTheModel.
But enough of me, we want to hear your stories. It's Monday morning and it's raw. For good or bad, let's hear it!
