Footywrap: Round 6

Footywrap puts Michael Voss under the microscope this week after his uninspiring halftime rant about ‘possibly’ coaching the new Gold Coast team on Saturday night. Do you think the AFL might want someone who can pronounce their own name to head up this new franchise? Also, there was Max Hudghton’s bizarre outburst at Matt McGuire during the Saints loss to Port. Paul thought it was very inappropriate pointing out that it happened at their ‘place of work.’ Jeff didn’t have a problem with it. [Read more]

Footywrap: Round 5

Footywrap is down at Tigerland this week to see what the mood is like after their draw with the Bulldogs. Surprisingly Nathan Brown in his press conference accuses Brian Lake of faking his injury so as not to have to take a crucial shot at goal with a minute to go. Later in the day he went to a medical centre in Pharan for scans on his hamstring. Elaborate media hoax or serious injury… You be the judge. Also discussed is the dodgy centre bounce that cost the Magpies against the Kangaroos and the demise of the Demons. The AFL asking during the week: what do they stand for? Paul reckons this is a difficult question for any club to answer. [Read more]

Footywrap: Round 4

Paul and Jeff give their opinion on Barry Hall’s right hook - according to Paul, the best he’s seen in footy or in life. Also, they enter ‘inverse world’ where Brisbane come back from 8 goals down in the rain in the last quarter to beat Port and Richmond and Carlton are also on the winners list. And finally, some ideas get thrown around for the 17th and 18th AFL teams. The Gold Coast ‘feeling’ has a certain ring to it don’t you think? [Read more]

Footywrap: Round 3

This weeks Footywrap takes place on Blue Sunday at the MCG. Jeff and Paul donned the blue ponchos to support prostate cancer awareness and check out the Richmond Collingwood clash. There were plenty of thrills and spills in round 3. Kreuzer’s long awaited debut didn’t disappoint, he looked brilliant for the Blues (although they did lose to the Bombers.) Justin Koschitzke wasn’t quite as impressive. His high five landed in Nick Riewoldt’s eye! Also discussed is a bizarre incident in which Robert Harvey appears to give Jason Akermanis the ‘Squirrel grip.’ [Read more]

Footywrap: Round 2

Paul is back into the Footywrap lineup this week after three weeks in the UK and just in time for Wayne Carey’s tell-all interview on Enough Rope. We discuss this and the revelation from his father that Wayne is an ‘idiot’ and ask why he chose Andrew Denton to bare his soul to. Watch a clip from the show and make up your own mind. Also in the gun are the Demons who have lost their first two games by an average losing margin of 99.5. Paul Gardiner has challenged anyone who thinks they can do a better job than the current administrators to put their hand up. Our Paul thinks this is a bad idea as the same suggestion bought Billy Joel unstuck a few years ago. [Read more]

That was clever: Eddie Betts

Could the goal of the year be wrapped up after just two rounds of football in 2008? This goal kicked by Eddie Betts late in the 4th quarter against St Kilda has set the benchmark for 2008 and will be hard to beat. Betts kicked only kicked one goal for the match but it was a ripper from the boundary line. It was so good Eddie himself couldn’t believe it, I’m sure he’ll find it hard to believe if he ends up winning the major prize and if he does it’ll be the second goal of the year he’s won, he kicked a similar goals from the opposite side against Collingwood at the MCG in 2006, keep them coming Eddie!

Footywrap: Round 1

Jeff goes into the Carlton dressing rooms this week to talk to ‘Supercoach’ Glenn Manton and ‘Jayco’ Jim Lawson (these guys are seriously funny.) Glenn channels Northey, Walls and Barassi to give Jeff a tirade on whizzing in public and tittie bars that he won’t soon forget. Many will remember Glenn’s antics from The Footy Show but his Supercoach character goes well beyond the tired old trollop that Channel 9 have been serving up on the Footy Show this year (Billy Brownless!!?) Glenn won ‘Best Improv’ at the Trades Awards last year with his ‘Supercoach’ character. His ability to think on his feet is very impressive and Jayco Jim is a brilliant sidekick. [Read more]

2008 Crystal Ball - Part 2

The response I have received regards the first 2008 edition (13th - 16th) of the OWAAT Crystal Ball has been absolutely inspiring. I would like to thank everybody for their input via email, via the OWAAT Forum, via our radio show and via random insults hurled on the street from angry fans of the teams I lobbed into the bottom four this time around. Just a timely reminder, I did place MY team in there too! Enough looking backwards, I have been looking over my shoulder ever since posting my last ramblings, let’s launch into stage two which encompasses my optimistic forecast for correctly predicting 9th on the ladder through to 12th.

Footy Wrap: Daisy comes up roses

The footywrap catches up with Daisy Pearce this week. Daisy is captain of the reigning WVFL premiers, the Darebin Falcons. She shares her thoughts with Jeff on the opening round of the AFL season and shows off some of her flashy skills with the sherrin when Jeff’s mate, Clint shoots his mouth off about his thoughts on women in footy. Daisy is a Carlton fan and is excited about their new look midfield and says that ‘with the delivery that (Fevola) is going to be getting this year, I think he’ll be pretty excited as well.
