premiers season fitzroy

season summary

after a slow start the blues looked like they would be a genuine contender for a 4 peat only losing the pies once after round 4 despite being second on 14 wins behind south on percentage collingwood (12 wins and 2 draws) and essendon (11 wins) rounded outt the 4 edging the dees by half a game with unievrsity (7 wins and 2 draws) also having two draws half a game bheind fitzroy. richmond 6 wins included a stunnning upset over south but the wooden spoon race was controversal with a saints win over the cats overturned giving the wooden spoon to the saints as a result.

season summary

with richmond and university joining few had the cats winning the wooden spoon especially beating the pies in round 1 (they only won one more game) the blues dominated and looked like the biggest threat for a 3 peat yet with a resurgent essendon their main opposition finishing 3 games below the blues but 4 games ahead of 3rd place saints and 4th place pies. swans just missed out with university (8 wins) and richmond (6 wins) not embarrasing in their first year.

interesting season richmond

in their first year they beat the dees to start took till round 5 for win 2 against the cats. 5 straight loses had them wooden spoon favourites despite a 1 game lead over the cats until beating university in round 11 they backed it up against fitzroy in a big upset shock wins over finalists pies and saints later on got them to 9th with 6 wins.

finals summary

carlton and essendon easily got past the semis meanign the dons are only one of two teams ever to be grand finalists after being wooden spooners (the other collingwood in 1977 who failed to win the flag as well) but the blues got their 3 peat by 9 points.

premiers summary carlton

in one of the earliest most dominant displays they only lost one game to essendon in round 12 clearly the flag favourites and didn’t disappoint.

season summary

after 6 rounds the saints were on top undefeated two games clear having not played finals than they dropped off and another supprsiing challenger to the blues emerged in south who had not finished top 4 yet either at the end of the season they were 2nd and 3rd behind the blues with the pies rounding out the 4. with the lions nose diving to last for the first time from 4 striaght grand finals but with odds and evens could change.

odds and evens summary

lions suddenly turned around winning all 3 to give the spoon to the dons with the lions finishing 5th the top 4 unchanged.

finals summary

south and blues easily beat pies and saints with the blues going back to back over the swans (the 2nd of many runners up for south and sydney over the years).

most interesting st kilda

tihs is out of respect for them finally having a finals berth and a good year would have considered lions and swans as well for obvious reasons. a 6-0 start had people thinking they would acctaully get to the grand only winning one of their next 8 against last place essendon in round 10 and only lead melbourne on percentage at the end of the rregular season but two more wins was enoough to secure 3rd passing th epies but lost to the blues in the semi.

premiers carlton

after a bad loss to the saints to start they won 3 straight before losing to swans the other losees in round 9 to the cats and round 15 to the swans who they would beat in the grand having beat the saints in the semis to go back to back.

odds and evens end after this season so its similar finals system till 1931 (except 1924) and two new clubs richmond and university.

season summary

this was by far the worse season yet by a team not st kilda with the dees only winning 1 game the next worse was 4 wins (dees only win round 4 against south by 5 points). until a late slump the blues were the team to beat but the lions still looked dangerous for a 3 peat essendon and collingwood again rounded out the 4 with no chance of a change going into odds and evens.

odds and evens summary

pies replacing dons in 3rd was the only change really.

interesting season south

stunning dons and pies gave them false hope early their first loss was the dees only win for the year starting a 5 game losing streak to blues, cats, lions and dons followed by a 10 goal loss to the pies ending finals hopes and then the saints beat them meaning they lost to everyone once before beating the dees than a big upset win over flag favourites blues a 10 goal win over cats gave them hope but a loss to the lions ended their hopes a upset win over dons in the odds wasn’t enouogh to make 3 games up and the blues ended slim chance.

finals summary

blues and lions made the grand easily with the bllues ending the lions run of flags by 49 points to win their first flag.

premeriers summary carlton

a dominant season losing to the dons in round 7 swans in round 12 and lions in round 13 but weren’t certain for their first flag nutil the grand final.

season summary

this was another common season for the early years with collingwood dominating winning 12 straight from round 2 to 13 with fitzroy still a threat to go back to back. carlton and essendon are the others in the box seat with south still a chance st kilda got anohter wooden spoon.

odds and evens summary

st kildas 10 goal win over geelong was the only upset saving them from the 8th wooden spoon which meant to melbourne. the final four are collingwood, fitzroy, carlton and essendon.

finals summary

a shock loss to carlton had collingwood worried but it wass fitzroy who would beat th eother three finalists to win their 4th flag.

most interesting season collingwood

the pies after losing to the lions in round 1 looked very dominant one more loss to the dons in round 14 before finals when everything went wrong losing to the blues in the semi gurranteed a grand final for fininshing 1st but lost to the lions.

premiers summary fitzroy

started with 7 striaght wins and were on track to go back to back a round 8 loss to the pies wasn’t a concern beating the saints the next week but than a poor loss to geelong and a close loss to carlton a late draw with south didn’t cost them 2nd one more loss again to geelong in the odds and evens didn’t cost them 2nd and won against the dons, blues and pies to win the flag their 4th.

Counting continues in the election but Labor have already won with the libs infighting continuing with Angus Taylor being blamed by some for the loss.

season summary

this was pretty even with fitzory topping with 10 wins 4 loses but have competition from carlton and south with collingwood in 4th at this stage saints got wooden spoon 7 but had 3 wins.

odds and even

south plumit to 5th with their spot going to the dons.

interesting season south

after a poor loss to the dons and only goal against the blues they become a threat winnning 4 straight before a 1 point loss to the lions and a round 9 loss to blues before 4 in a row almost had them safe but only more win against the saints wasn’t enough to hold 4th on percentage

season summary

for the first time ever the saints don’t finish last and the blues are in the 4 the saints still have a finals chance going into odds and evens fighting the cats for 4th while the blues are 3rd and safe. the dons the most consistant team yet drop to 6th with south getting their first wooden spoon. pies and lions dominate again.

Penrith are on the winners list again stunning Brisbane 32-8 while Canberra beat storm and bulldogs beat titans. Hawks celebrated their century smashing tigers while lions beat sun’s and swans stun giants. Chelsea beat premiers Liverpool 3-1 while man u lost to bornumoth

home and away summary

after a round 1 drought breaker by st kilda beating the dees for their first ever win (and only win of the season for them) in one of the games of the year fitzroy were again dominant with geelong and essendon looking like the main rivals 2 and 3 games back collingwood and south actually were equal with essendon but percenatage behind dees and blues took the other spot.

odds and even summary

in a big suprise essendon won the odds over fitzroy making a final against an even bigger supprise melbourne who won the evens due to a big win over st kilda on percentage from collingwood and geelong.

interesting season geelong

won their first four before losing to south and fitzroy bouned back to 6-2 ended 9-5 with loses to collingwood, essendon and melbourne the evens were unlucky on percentage a 17 point loss to the dees being the costly loss.

dees who were longer odds than south the year before stun dons who can’t kick straight and then beat lions to win their first flag out of nowhere only winning after finals 10 out of 19 games.

premership season melbourne

after a shock 1 point loss to the saints that no one had done before and a early loss to the blues they looked like mid table at best. a 1-5 start looked like they had no chance before a 4 game winning streak had their season on track but lost 3 of their last 4 to finish 6th and held on to the even lead despite a 6 point loss to the pies. a close win over dons and then beat the lions to win the flag.

home and away summary

this was fitzroys to lose dominating the season while melbourne were the last team to lose in round 6 a week after beating fitzroy but they slumped in the 2nd half of the year so fitzroy 11 wins geelong (who kept saints to 2 behinds in last home and away game) collingwood 10 wins essendon 9 wins melbourne 8 wins south 5 wins (but there not done) carlton 3 wins st kilda winless again.

odds and even summary

fitzroy easily won the odds booking a grand final against south (how) south won all three even games so even they were 5th after odds and evens but under the controversal system will be thier oponents despite geelong keeping st kilda to an even lower score than round 14 thats right 1 behind to start the game was all they scored the 161 point margin was the record for a while.

grand final summary

as there was only one final i might just right a summary of fitzroys one point win over south to go back to back despite trailing by 14 at 1/4 time nad 7 at 3/4 time and only kicking 3 goals (3.9 to 3.8).

most interesting south

a big win over carlton started them well before loisng to fitzroy and being held goalless by essendon (in the 2nd lowest scoring gaem ever 1.9 to 0.9) and collingwood before beating st kilda and geelong in a upset. but loses to meloburne and a goalless effort in a loss to carlton had them worried as well as fitzroy and essendon and collingwood ending any hope of top 4. breaking their drought against st kilda but losing to geelnog had them 6th 4 games adrift of 5th before beating melbourne and then in the evens had a critical win over geelong securing them an advantage beating essendon and st kilda was enoguh for a grand final spot that they lose to fitzroty.

premiers fitzroy

fitzroy were better than 1898 losing to melbourne in a top of the table clash in round 5 geelong and collinwood their only blemishes and won the flag over south in a thrilling grand final.

there were 14 rounds (each team verse twice) then the odd teams and even teams verse with the best of them playing off for the right to play the minor premier (in the case the minor premier won the odds it went striaght to a grand final) this lasted till 1900.

home and away summary

apart from a first up upset by carlton over south the blues and saints were filling space again this season although the blues drew with dees when they were sliding. melbourne were acctually 3-0 but only managed two more wins to finish 6th two games ahead of carlton. south finished 5th despite kicking only one goal twice in a game but still won half. geelong were 4th 9-5 but the main contnders were essendon 11-3 on top who were the most dangerous again but a last round loss to collingwood who were slow starters but won 6 straight to get 2nd and a much improved fitzroy levle with collingwood but behind them on percentage.

odds and evens summary

the only upset was fitzroy beating essendon to win the odds group all the evens games went to script which meant fitzroy would play collingwood to see who will play essendon for the flag.

most interesting team melbourne

i only chose melbourne to avoid picking collingwood twice in a row they were the other major consideration

first two rounds they smashed saints and blues and looked like they might go far after beating collingwood in round 3 then things fall aprt losing to fizroy and essendon might be expected but 1.7 against south they bounce back to upset geelong and beat the saints a draw with carlton was their last non-loss till the evens win over the saints scoring less then 20 three times finishing 6-10-1 in 6th.

finals summary

fitzroy the only team with no finals experience beat the pies in the playoff and then beat the dons to win their first flag with only one goal between them after half time.

premiers fitzroy

after a poor loss to essendon in the gf preview to start a win over the pies gave some confidence beating the saints was obvious but then doubling the unbeaten dees and a win over the cats and blues means they were getting the job done but not preitly and big loses to south and the dons again had them dropping a loss to the pies in round 9 was their last of the year coming from 6th to finish 3rd with a 5 game winning streak won all the odd group games but had no major test till the last odd game against essendon which they won setting them up for a finals run beating the pies and dons.

this will be a slightly different go over of afl history in a few parts of each year this is partly although we will get to it eventually the hawks 100 years in the comp is why i decided to make another footy history this time which will be more general in a few parts of each year they are

before 1925 the hawthorn summary will be missing as they didn’t have a team till then.

the starting clubs were carlton, collingwood, essendon. fitzroy, geelong, melbourne, south melbourne and st kilda.

lets get started

home and away summary

the first year of the vfl (the precursor to the afl) was dominated by 5 clubs in fact only once did a bottom 3 side at the end of the year not lose to a top 5 side and that was a south/fitzroy draw in round 7 (the next closest was the rematch a 1 point win to south). this was a critical game as it cost south the last finals spot. the interesting thing is geelong who start 0-3 (and were last after round 2) suddenly went on a tear to top the ladder on 11 wins 3 loses ahead of essendon (who lead the 2nd half of the year) on percentage and one game ahead of the last founding team to lose a game melbourne who were quite inconsistent late in the year with 3 striagth loses in roudns 7 to 9 but beat the dons to cost the later first. collingwood were the other finalist despite looking gone with 3 games to go being a game and a half and percentage behind south only to get ahead at the end they won 9 games to souths 8 and a half. fitzroy got 4 and a half wins and were on top after round 2 but had only played carlton and st kilda at that stage. carltons two wins were both against winless st kilda.

finals summary

for some reason this and 1924 they had a round robbin finals system as opposed to any sort of knockout version. the flag was decided mostly at corio when geelong lost to essendon by a goal (no other finals have been played at geelong except in 2013 when geelong lost to freo). collignwood did beat melbourne but they were both no match for essendon and geelong because essendon didn’t lose in the round robin they won the first flag the last final between them and melbourne had only 1 goal kicked (and 16 behinds) between them the lowest agrogiate game ever with the dons 1 goal the difference.

most interesting season collingwood

i considered south and melbourne as well.

they started well with wins over st kilda essendon and geelong but a loss to south in round 4 ended that run beating fitzroy and carlton between a loss to melbourne had them looking good for finals at the half way mark after beating st kilda in round 8 they were 2nd than fall into a heap losing 3 straight to essendon, geelong and south leaving them to do the top they were expected to against carlton and fitzroy somehow beat melbourne and hope south or geelong drop 2 games they got lucky beating melbourne as well as south dropping 2 of the last 3 to sneak into 4th. a thrilling win over melbourne again gave them hope for the first flag but loses to essendon and geelong saw them finish 3rd,

premieres essendon

started well winning at geelong but a surpise loss to the pies in their first home game would have some worries than they won 5 straight ending the dees unbeaten run in round 7 to top the ladder at that stage in a game at south they won with a score of 1 goal 13. a round 8 loss to geelong didn’t cost them the lead and then another 5 game winning streak ended with a loss to melbourne costing them 1st but a first up finals win at geelong secured them momentum the win over the pies all but guranteed them the flag and then only needing 1.8 the lowest winning score ever to win the flag over the dees.

john 21 1-19

this is an odd story of easter jesus appears in fron of his deciples and gave bread and fish to the deciples showing he still cares for his deciples and the deciples prove their loyality to the risen lord it is quite confusing the setting and a lot of it but proves that jesus still cares even as he is risen.

labor are back in power with an increased majroity in parliament knocking out both max chandler maher and peter dutton out of their own seats (shame we couldn’t get rid of dai le but theres a still chance we may unseat greens leader adam bhandt). melbourne have beatwen winless west coast port were no match for bulldogs crows smash blues and cats stun pies. tigers warriors and nights won in the nrl. arsenal got stunned by borumoth i think.

St kilda have smashed freo. Roosters and sharks win in the nrl over dolphins and eels. Centreal coast title defence is over losing tonbrisbane 2-1. If you haven’t voted vote Labor in the Australian election don’t risk dutton.

Chelsea won their European conference league game 2-0 this morning. Essendon survive a North scare by 3 points. Vote Labor in the elevtion to avoid the craziness controlling parliament or worse a dutton government.

With the budget in trouble spending money on necluear will only make things worse don’t risk it vote Labor

Labor are still ahead in the polls but don’t get complacent as its not over yet. Virgin Atlantic have pulled out of Israel which is a good move to pull out of a war zone.

You need to vote Labor in the election to stop the extreme right and the greens getting any power.

a dad wanted his daughter to see him hunt she was reluctant but her mum insisted on them bonding even though they didn’t get along not realising what would happen. on arrival at the reserve where hunting isn’t even legal they spoted a rhino the dad asked jessica the girl to run at the rhino and then lead him his way she initally refused until he threatened her. so she lied and went to it and saw the rhino was saugh but then saw her dad readying his gun she than without thinking run into the shot and luckily blocked it the bullet luckily didn’t hurt. the dad realising he didn’t have any more bullets went away jessica was ok except her hand was injured from the bulllet the rhino then got up looked at her and then licked clear the wound confusing jessica then she started feeling her body changing she run towards the water nearby as she got thirsty she now was a female rhino the other rhino a male thna spoke saying he got hurt protecting its family who were injured worse and wanted a companion who would care for him and be friends he says if she wants she can reutrn to being human when all the wouds are healed she agreed and would never see her dad again (he got arrested).

john 20 19-31

this is the story of when jesus appeared to his deciples just after his death and explains the forgiveness of sins and how one of th edeciples thomas wasn’t there and needed to see jesus to believe who later appeared to him. this is about being able to believe that jesus is the son of god and having life through his name thats acctually how the goespel story ends weirdly enough which is a great way of summing it up.

Penriths title defence is all but over losing to manly while cowboys smash titans. Bulldogs stun gws port survive north scare and Brisbane smash st kilda. Chelsea beat everton in the epl.

Collingwood have beaten essendon while freo beat Crows in the Anzac day games. Storm beat souths roosters stun dragons and warriors beat nights in nrl. Prepoll and postal needs to be reduced as we cant have a repeat of 2016 where the best option for pm won the day but lost due to late counting and crazy independents (i am referring to shorten) leading to one of the worse terms ever so avoid voting independents ahead of Labor (same with the greens don’t put them ahead of Labor) just vote Labor.

Melbourne beat Richmond. Broncos stun bulldogs jn nrl. Liverpool only need a draw to win the epl and have 5 games after arsenal drew with palace.

a young girl named cassie and her brother nick loved wolves and had been seperated due to a sudden death of their parents nick got adopted but greatly missed his sister who no one would take one night she got lost on the way back to the orphanage and was scared but than saw a big female wolf approach her and said are you lost cub which confused cassie and than the wolf said don’t be affraid and look into her eyes looking back was a young female cub. the wolf said she is uniquely a wolf who can take a human form but her parents knew about it for her and her brother but didn’t tell her till she was ready but their death and her abandonment forced the change she then remebered their love of wolves and decided to get nick who was nearby with his adopted family only been a few weeks she kissed him which started his change the adult wolf says when in lupine form humans don’t know they were ever human nick is supprised but she showed him their skills and they joined the pack and quickly adapted to their new lives.

The election campaign continues with Labor well ahead in the polls and prepoll has opened with record numbers. the coalitions policy of allowing foreign airlines to fly domesitc routes is untraditional and won’t work or is right and will hurt the australain airliens interesting they are trying it out of darwin.

Eva airlines to fly to Dallas. Alaska to axe dc routes from la and San Francisco.

The pope has sadly died one of the better poles in my time and is well known for his inclusiveness and modern teachings among other things it is very sad. Hawks lose thriller to Geelong while in the nrl eels stun tigers. Don’t risk voting against Labor incumbents in key seats held by ministers especially in western Sydney short sightedness has created awful mps at the expense of good mps who were close to being a capable  ones like in the seat of Griffith. There are exceptions like with Sophie mirabella in indi who was never good as an mp even though her immediate successor wasn’t much better.

Bulldogs destroyed saints while port beat swans. Sharks beat knights and raiders beat titans in nrl. Liverpool only need one more win or arsenal loss to get the epl title after both won this morning Chelsea also beat Fulham 2-1.

“the conlcusion”

lillie faces the marshadow and suddenly gains a lot of strength from the other starters and powers off a very strong solar beam defeating marshadow but zapping of all her strength much to everyones suprise they all return to normal except lillie who asks why it says that there was a story that was of a chikorita who had to be human to protect the world and figure out alies but would return to her natural body eventually but will never evolve she becomes one of ash’s pokemon but never goes into the pokeball. thats the story i will keep writing pokemon fafnciton but the next story won’y be for a little bit maybe around the legends za release or another school holiday project or something.

“arceus message”

arceus than appears to the changed startesrs gaain saying now is the time to unleash your full powers to save the world and then a few more people change and the main villlian a marshadow appears it will take a lot of effort to take it down and while it gets admaged only lillie still has the strength to battle.

next time the final hapter.

john 20 1-9

this is the story of how they found jesus removed from the tomb and deceneded nito heaven and when they understand the important message that the scripture says he must rise from the dead which proves it might take a bit but we will eventually learn the message that god is trying to teach us.

it will be back to weekly the gospel reflections with the next one being for divine mercy sunday next week

Two big afl upsets yesterday melboruen got on the Board against treo and Richmond stun the suns in the other game Crows beat giants in a low scoring game. Penrith are back on the winners list smashing roosters while warriors beat broncos. Clive palmer should not be allowed to be involved in public campaigning with money after the 2019 debacle as he owes a lot of money. How to vote cards are getting interesting some preference decisions help Labor surprisingly others are just wrong one nation should be near the bottom of how to vote cards except their own only above trumpet of patriots and if your right wing I guess the greens and some crazy independents like Michael McFarland in my seat of indi.

“shaunas change”

the chespin is revealed to be shauna and helps hold off the raquazza but before things are fully explained and the raquazza is about stopped clemeont appears now working against the group saying all is going according to plan which confuses people saying there will be nothing left at the end of his plan.

john 18 1 19-42

this is the passion story from the gospel of john which is a completly different telling of the story starting with the betrayal it is quite a confusing version of the story as it has different details of it. it does end with the body in the tomb. there isn’t much of a lesson in the story other then the usual passion message.

Collingwood have ended Brisbane’s run by 52. Dragons edge manly 20-18 in nrl. A royal commission into sex abuse should be all kids not just indigenous but its a reasonable idea for once from Jacinta price. Labor have increased their polling lead even leading in duttons seat in one poll.

:hypnosis”

dawn decides to track down starter pokemon with the help from one of the explorers to hyponotise them incase they were human and finds a litten in alola which is in a deep sleep not realising its a normal one they hypnotise it. as she leaves hau turns up and wants to battle after seeing what she was doing it ends up being a win for hau but dawn then gets away when he calls officer jenny to arrest her. hau then calls ash to tell him that dawn was hypnotising pokemon to work for the bad guys and that officer jenny is going to investigate and might arrest her and shows video evidence stunning everoyne.

sorry for the quick one but it is the start of the easter tridum and an important day on the church callender.

The 2nd leaders debate didn’t lead to anything. It’s not a good idea to channel Trump or go down the path of his policies in a lot of ways which is the risk of Jacinta prices comments.

“next stop nacreme city”

the pokemon hold off the bad guys and iris talks to ash and mago about someone had said there is a book in the nacreme city gym in unova which is where they head for but transport is tricky though as they are in sinnoh so they hire a plane perminately to get around which flies itself they head off not realising they are being followed. aras is told everything and doesn’t mind and practices against lillie their grass attacks.

to be continued

“another change”

after a call from ash everyone is on alert for any more people turning into pokemon for the goal when iris gets an anoyomous tip off about dawn from a young boy so they all head to find him in sinnnoh but dawn decides to try and stop him getting the info to them now working for the bad guys but iris stops her aleading t a battle during which the boy changes into a snivy revealed to be aras iris notcies and gets him away from dawn but the bad guys are ready to chase as ash and mago arrive.

to be continued

Trump is completely wrong saying ukraine started the war when it was Russia who did pretty much unprovoked over a decade ago when they stolen Crimea. Labor are well ahead and the coalitions constant own goals isn’t helping.

“calming landerous”

it is very hard to calm down the legendry and stop the storm but lillie reveals a new power which calms it down with a sweet scent razor leaf combo which everyone ntoices and realises their is more to the transformations then they realise in more news dawn makes a deal with some bad guys to get the starters after helping their plan.

my next paw patrol fanfiction story won’t be connected to this one and i can’t tell you when i’ll right it yet. hope you enjoyed it.

“final part 1”

the attack of some evil pups with mayor humdingers help has the town directly attacked but with the help of the air and sea pups are acctually able to reduce the damage but then ryder is kidnapped by the leader of the bad guys.

next time final part.

now i know its supposed to be thursday the chrism mass traditionally but my dicosee is doing it today due to its size and it means i don’t need to do two on thursday so.

luke 4 16-21

this is a brief story about jesus teaching in a synagogue on the sabath stating what his mission is and that you need to listen to his messsage which is quite important and why people need to go to church especially this week as its holy week.

Disgraced state mp moira deeming might lose endorsement from the liberal branch which serves her right as she is disloyal a transphobe and a one nation want to be. Labor are well ahead in the polls which might win a majority.

“explaining the situation to the public’

while ash looks after zoey (now a chimchar). mago asks her dad if she can give some information to the public to avoid confusion which he agrees she explains that there are certain people who will become pokemon for the good of the world but won’t reveal anymore yet. they set up a base just out of fula city for the pokemon to be safe and add more to the group and work out a plan when more are given.

the story starts with the last supper when jesus sat down with his deciples sharing his last meal then the bit where he says his prayer and the deciples fall asleep (which is shorter in lukes version) as well as the trial which includes that herod and pilate knew each other and reconciled due to jesuses trial (which i had forgotten about) as well as the death on the cross. this is really about the end of jesus life and this is all about how he sacrificd himself for our sins. there will be special reflections this week for holy thursday good friday and holy saturday (i may also doone on the chrism mass as well it depends on how things go). i am also going to do another one today about the entrance to jeresulum gospel they have at the start of todays mass.
