THE SLOW CLAP (EPISODE TWO) IN AFL we saw Jobe Watson booed continuously in their game against West Coast, the irony of Eagles fans booing a drug cheat not lost on anyone. After the game he shed more moisture than has fallen on the Central and Eastern Wheatbelt this June, a local farmer remarking ‘save it for me wheat crop’ to no avail. Melbourne notched up their first win since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, with players high fiving all 37 fans in attendance and later singing what parts they could remember of the club song with tremendous gusto. The Dockers failed to take the points in Geelong, missing both Mundy & Barlow through ‘Beiber fever’, whilst Fremantle tagger Ryan Crowley was no doubt wishing he’d saved his antics on Boomer Harvey for the cats. This game falling at the end of the month and therefore becoming a move that would have given him a far better excuse for ‘a pinch and a punch’. IN RUGBY LEAGUE New South Wales narrowly avoided going pants down around the snooker table, scoring late to avoid total embarrassment. All in all though, it was much like picking up the only girl left on the dance floor at 4am at the Dean – you might have scored late but in no way should you be proud of your efforts. Darius Boyd got amongst it in both Origin and in Newcastle’s 46-16 shellacking of the Titans, in a period of five days scoring more points than he used words in this infamous press conference youtube/watch?v=H2tGmSS6dO0. IN UNION we saw another nail biter, this time the Wallabies getting over the line to send things into game three, by all reports the three and a half minutes of actual action (when they aren’t kicking it out of bounds, setting up for line outs/scrums etc or talking about whether anyone knows the rules around what constitutes a penalty or not) was indeed riveting. THE NORTH EAST DAGLISH INVITATIONAL PIE FESTIVAL threw up some crackerjack pastry creations with early favourites Jack and Em annihilating the competition with an all round game that remained a benchmark for the afternoon. Local Salad bear & recent (cardigan related) recruit into my schmindy dream team Alex Bielby committed the pastry world equivalent of going out to bat in the ashes armed with a tennis racket, unaware he’d covered his spaghetti bolognaise pie with dessert pastry, this ‘segue’ into sweets uncontrovercially taking out worst in show. THE AUSTRALIAN ECONOMY looks likely to take a massive hit as sports fans stay up till the wee hours and sleep it off during work, watching the Tour de France, Wimbledon, The Ashes and VHS recordings of Up Late with Hotdogs. New PM K-RUDD will no doubt face similar late nights, as he ponders where he will find people to make up new cabinet should he take the points in the election, the Labor party losing more talent through mass exodus than the fate that faces the Bombers once ASADA’s findings are released. Suggestions that both Steve Smiths’ should be rushed into important positions in the Australian Cabinet and our cricket teams top six falling on deaf ears yet again. Jovak.
