Barnstorming Blues crush hapless Crows

Venue: AAMI Stadium

Adelaide slumped to their worst start to an AFL season after being crushed by Carlton by 48 points today.

After a barnstorming start, the Blues were never seriously threatened and lodged their second win of the season, 16.7 (103) to 6.19 (55) at AAMI Stadium.

Carlton kicked three goals in the initial six minutes of the match to establish an advantage never relinquished despite a woefully inaccurate Adelaide having more scoring shots, 25 to the Blues’ 23.

Carlton livewire Chris Yarran, Jeff Gartlett and Ryan Houlihan each kicked three goals and formed part of a forward line which feasted on opportunities provided by a dominant midfield headed by the likes of Chris Judd and Marc Murphy (32 disposals, 15 marks).

Judd’s first outing this season after serving a suspension was typically productive, the Blues skipper collecting 30 disposals.

Defender Andrew Walker (36 possessions, 12 marks) was also a standout, while his teammates Bryce Gibbs, Kade Simpson, Houlihan and Heath Scotland were all prominent.

Adelaide midfielder Scott Thompson kicked two goals and veteran Andrew McLeod (26 possessions) and onballer Bernie Vince (31 disposals) battled gamely in a losing cause.

The Crows butchered chances in front of goal, their attacking impotence evidenced by lacklustre returns of solitary goals in both the second and third terms – and onballer Thompson only goaled in the second stanza when the beneficiary of consecutive 50 metre penalties.

In stark contrast, Carlton’s forward line operated smoothly with Yarran and Gartlett providing the ground level spark.

Yarran was especially dangerous early, having three goals to his name by the second minute of the second quarter in a performance which helped the Blues race to a 37-point advantage at halftime – a lead which effectively ended the match as a contest.

The Blues host Geelong on Monday week while Adelaide travels to meet the Western Bulldogs on Friday night.

The Adelaide Earthquake: Abandon hope all ye who enter here

At 11.35 pm, there were numerous reports of the ground shaking and the earth moving. Local news reports indicate that many calls were made to 000 and thousands flocked to facebook groups and twitter. The question that needs to be asked is what really happened on Friday night just before midnight. As always the internationally recognised expert team here at WorldofWookie.com is ready with the answers you need.

Sure there are going to be some who point to the obvious and somewhat more logical reasonings behind the ‘earthquake”. These will include scientificly “proven” ideas concerning the movement of tectonic plates, magma movement, overpressure and fault lines, as well as other such mumbo jumbo designed only to confuse the average layman. As always we here at the WorldofWookie aim to keep it real, and as such we’ve come up with a few reasonable AND plausible hypothesis for you to consider.

With the forced retirement of Micheal Atkinson, well known crusader for christian values in  the gaming market, and the anticipated gradual slide into the kind of territory previously occupied by such cities as Sodom and Gommorah, one can only wonder if these earthquakes are but a foreshadowing of an approaching apocalypse of doom where a wrathful God metes out justice on all of those who persecuted the former minister.   Thats right kids, if you voted for Gamers4Croydon you are probably going to hell. And not that I would be surprised if he took a dim view of Adelaide and its residents either. Our city is slowly degrading into the kind of filth that can only cleansed by a righteous fire. The streets are littered with drug addicts, pornographers, gang members, and port power supporters. 

This may well be the first in a rapid series of plagues and tribulations forced upon us by the electoral indiscretions of a few malcontents. The book of Revelation encourages us to believe that this is but another step toward the return of Christ. (If you are a pre-millenialist and still here, how stupid do you feel now.)  And when Christ returns you know he is going to be angry. And then they will cry out for Atkinson and he will laugh at you all while sipping cocktails in the bar with the Holy Spirit.

The second hypothesis is that something sinister is going on on the outskirts of our fair city.  For years the government has told us that there were few ill effects on persons from nuclear testing at maralinga in the 50s. This information was correct. Affected people merely moved underground, out of sight for the next 60 years, merely biding there time, stockpiling weapons and supplies, while formulating a plan to wreak havoc on the surface dwelling population. Of course I speak of the Mole people.

  

Seen in various films and tv series over the years, the truth is far more terrifying. The molemen are real and they are believed to have perfected earthquake machines while testing space age technologys to create a better kind of razor blade.  The molemen believe that they have been abandoned by society and can no longer tolerate the injustice. Lead by their diminutive leader, Hans Moleman, the molemen are expected to use their earthquake machines for evil rather than good, after years of oppression and forced labour, first as dwarves in Snow White, as oompa loompas in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory, and god only knows how many dwarf tossing competitions over the years. The Mole people have had enough. A video recieved by the Federal police has Hans reportedly saying protests and petitions just wont do after 60 years of mistreatment.

So there you have it, as we speak thousands of mole people are ready to make your world crumble at the slightest push of a button. I for one, welcome these mole overlords and will assist in whatever way possible by rounding up dissenters, activists and the irish. You of course, can make your own judgements but I prefer to be on the winning side. Ive seen the future and its not pretty. Thousands upon thousands of mole people treating us like cattle, taking our prettiest females and pressing them into harems for the entertainment of the mole lords, and killing off the old and feeble and feeding them to the rest of us in milkshakes.

Stay tuned for more news.

Speechman: Origins

let me begin by saying this is my own work, utlising what puny skills i have available to do my own webcomic based on that awesome ability we have to stuff up what we are saying during conversations. So I took it a step further and made it a superpower…hey it works for heroes…and you KNOW they make that stuff up as they go along. Previous comics – including my shortlived parody of Asleep at the Wheel can be found elsewhere on the site.

Finish: Sunday, July 11th, 8am
Total run time: 38 hours

Major Cash Competitions

The $1000 Reloaded 4Seasonsgaming QuakeLive 1v1 Competition
The $1000 Reloaded Counterstrike 5v5 Competition (with hardware prizes)
The $1000 Reloaded Console Fighting Tournament – 4 individual competitions (to be determined)
The $ 500 Reloaded Smash Bros. Tournament – 2v2, 1v2 and FFA

Reloaded Driving Championship – 4 individual competitions (all equipment likely to be supplied by Reloaded)

Physical Competitions

Other Competitions

Call of Duty 4 5v5 (note: modern warfare still lacks dedicated servers at time of writing)
TF2 6v6
Halo 3 2v2
FIFA 10

All competitions will be finalised by May 31st.

————————————————–

Notes:

Reloaded Quakelive Competition

This is dependent on successful testing at the May Valhalla event. In the event that the tests are unsatisfactory, this will convert to a Quake III competition. It is expected that up to 10 machines will be available for competitive use. This competition will be run by the guys at 4SeasonsGaming, who will determine the split of prize money.

Reloaded Counterstrike 5v5 Competition

With lower than usual prize money its expected that interstate participation will be minimal. There will be the usual group stages and
finals with plenty of time for over-runs to avoid the problems of the last event. Its also likely that there will be a pre-event competition
at a local net cafe. A stage setup is likely to be used for all finals, and quite possibly for general competitive use.

Reloaded Driving Championship

Will be held across all platforms. And the lineup may well be something like this:
Xbox 360 – Forza 3
PS3 – GT5
Wii – Mariokart
Arcade – Daytona

FAQs

Why no Modern Warfare 2 or Battlefield Bad Company 2? Simple. Neither have dedicated LAN servers. One requires you to know everyone you are playing and the other requires constant contact with an internet connection. If something happens to change this in the next few months, we’ll let you know.

More information shortly
