Defence is the Best Medecine

Before the ink has dried on the Mistress' words below, the Tiger has scribbled his diary! (OK, I did omit a rather large happening ... )

The Way I Bloody Well See It

Round 3 coughed up a few surprises, not the least the victory to the mighty Shinboners on Sunday evening.
Granted. Mighty is really a bit nostalgic, but who is this tiger kidding about the N word. Punt Rd has been known for some time as Nostalgics are Us.
A great day for Jack; misery for Lyndon.
Jack Riewoldt reallly had a pretty bloody moderate outing against the Dees.
Lynden Dunn can't be blamed for anything from the bench!
A tense Saturday night for Syd as the Bombers almost handed the Suns a rare victory.
And the interesting point is....
And there's been no word from the Collingwood/Carlton home down in Melbourne. More urgent than the well-being of their relationship, the clash was no good for Romeo and Juliet's ladder position.
We want to know who they tipped!
Stuff 'em. Who cares. The Devil has always worn two jerseys/guernseys. 
For us tipsters, a new Champ has risen to the throne. Patrick finds himself at the top for the very first time in 6 years of tipping, sending John a whopping 10 places down the ladder.
'A testament to perseverance' he calls it. Patrick and I now consider ourselves the Posh and Becks of the Backpocket. The Brad and Angelina. The Will and Kate.
I'm kind enough to say you are selling yourselves far too short dear lofty couple. These roosters and cultured pearls are contributing only to pop culture. You two are the bifidus and acidophillus of true sustaining and sustainable culture Dear Ones.
The big movers this week were Gai and David and the Barking Dog Gary with 6 rungs apiece. James, Justine and Cath rose 7. Patrick's already feeling paranoid up there and thinks 'Justine, a newcomer and unknown quantity, could be a smokey!'
Perhaps another big mover this week was The Richmond Tigers. Oh dear, somehow we've surged above Collingwood with just this lowly win against The Demons.
And at the end of Round 3, Carlton are the Premiers; Eddie Betts takes the Norm Smith, and Kennedy Josh (Sydney) the Brownlow.
At the business end of the season it's more likely we see the Pentridge Blues rueing something stupid, Eddie Betts rueing something stupid and Trent Cochin stepping up on the night of nights.
