On Friday morning’s radio SEN morning show, hosts Timmy Watson, Anthony Hudson and Dermott Brereton previewed the weekend’s round of matches. Feeling a bunch of one-sided predictable games was on offer, they tried to identify the most likely upset – if any.
Rattling through the games, Watson in particular responded: “No”, “No”, “No”. Come North Vs Hawthorn, with Hawthorn considered favourites, Brereton thought, “Yes.”
Watson over-ruled with a firm “No.”
Come the Anzac Day match of Collingwood Vs Essendon, Watson with black and red blinkers, was pretty confident that Essendon might be the best chance of a weekend upset.
Ah, the delicious irony then that the Bombers were put to the sword right from the start and given a ten goal thrashing.
Along the way, the upsets were stacking up, as Melbourne clobbered previously unbeaten Brisbane; Port got up over the previously unbeaten Saints; North held on over Hawthorn in Launceston; and on Monday, Carlton shocked Geelong.
Heck, even Richmond showed early form kicking out to a five goal lead early against home favourites, Freo.
Yep,it was just another predictable round of AFL matches.
