2011 sure has been a rough year for Queenslanders. First we had floods covering half the state, then we had cyclones Anthony and Yasi, and now the latest natural disaster to hit my home state – Luke Mcpharlin’s knee. Perhaps I’m being a little melodramatic, but the events that took place the evening of March [...]

Matty P’s 2011 Crystal Ball
This is Matty P’s version of FootyHigh’s Annual Prediction post for the season ahead. Check out Sarge’s Ultimate Prediction Post for 2011 and Beno’s 2011 Predictions Post for their predictions. The pre-season is finally coming to an end, so we can stop talking about schoolgirls, player managers and Fev’s darkest days and we can turn our attention [...]
Advice from Dream Team, M.D.
This time last year I posted a few Dream Team dos and don’ts to help the Dream Team novices lift their standards a bit. It’s well publicised that once again I blitzed all-comers in the Footy High league, but the crushing victories over my fellow bloggers were not as humiliating for them as they had [...]
2011: It begins!
Another long off-season is drawing to a close and I gotta say I think I’m ready for the rigours of being AFL spectator once more. I’ve recovered well from post-season surgery, hit the gym hard over summer to build the beer drinking muscles and I’ve perfected my pie-eating technique. I’ll be in great shape for [...]
This is the End
It’s been a massive footy season – so jam-packed with action they had to add an extra week, and bar the huge circle jerk that is trade week (please Vossy, just remain calm), it’s all over. From a team perspective, 2010 has been a bit of a fizzer. My Lions were ravaged by injury and [...]
A Huge Week In Footy!
It’s easy to get excited about the game when your team has a big win on the weekend and they don’t get much bigger than the Lions massive upset win over the Pies. After the Crows game I had all but written off our season, but thanks to that little nugget of football stardom Lukey [...]
Punt!
I’m getting back on the horse this week and making a couple of bets for the challenge. It’s been a while, so it’s time to get the balance ticking over again. The first bet is a simple two leg multi: $5 on Swans to beat Freo and Crows to beat Brisbane @ $3.74 – I’m [...]
3 weeks is a buttload of time in football!
Well the old adage is that a week is a long time in footy, so three weeks is forever. From the 12th of April until Wednesday I found myself in the unenlightened land of the USA. Surrounded by baseball, basketball and American Football (That Roeslesthesticlesburger guy makes Fev seem like a saint!), I found it [...]
Last Minute Punt!
After my huge win in the $100 Challenge last week, I’ve been checking out the odds trying to decide which big bet to follow up with. I didn’t think there was too much value to be had, but there’s one I’ve been sweating on all week, and I’ve decided at the last minute to pull [...]
