2013 AFL Grand Final: Hawthorn vs. Fremantle

"What curse?'' The man who subjected his club to five years of torment consigned the Kennett curse to history on Saturday morning.

Jeff Kennett, the former Hawthorn president and Victorian premier, cut a tortured figure at the MCG on Friday night as the Hawks overcame a 20-point deficit at three-quarter-time to beat the Cats by five.

For all the protestations that this plague on the house of Hawthorn was a figment of the media's imagination, Alastair Clarkson and Luke Hodge and their team could have done without it.

Kennett fatefully told the ABC's Offsiders show after Hawthorn's 2008 grand final triumph over the Cats: ''What they don't have, I think, is the quality of some of our players; they don't have the psychological drive we have. We've beaten Geelong when it matters.''

The Cats made a pact never to lose to Hawthorn again. Incidentally, the man who made the pact public, Paul Chapman, still has not lost to the Hawks as he missed the preliminary final.

With the hoodoo buried, thanks to a rampant performance from Sam Mitchell and late goals from Bradley Hill, Jack Gunston and Shaun Burgoyne, Kennett could finally declare the curse ''done and dusted''.

''It was probably a silly comment at the time that developed legs,'' Kennett said on ABC Radio on Saturday. ''I think I said at the time that we're always there in games when it mattered, and the ones we lost along the way were only foreplay. Last night was a serious game. The comments I made after our success in '08 have developed a life of their own.''

He was unrepentant. ''It's added colour to the game and added colour to the competition. It's now, in terms of its intent gone, and it will be absent from future clashes between these two wonderful clubs and that is highly appropriate.''

Hodge has never believed in a curse - ''We believe Geelong have been too good for us in the past'' - but expressed a simple wish for grand final week. ''I think everyone is hoping Jeff does keep quiet.''

Hawthorn president Andrew Newbold said he had always had belief in his players.

Newbold took over the presidency two years ago from Kennett, but after the win, when asked if he planned to speak to Kennett, Newbold smiled and replied: ''I never acknowledged the curse. That's you blokes [media], so you'd better call him, not me.''

Newbold admitted he felt flat at three-quarter-time, when Geelong had a game-high lead of 20 points, but the last quarter capped off an all-time great AFL final.

''How gutsy the boys were, that was right up there,'' he said. ''You win games sometimes when you play pretty football - we didn't play pretty football today. But it was outstanding just in terms of our endeavour and basically just not giving up.

''Eventually Geelong succumbed and we put our noses in front.

''Today's not the scalp - next week's the scalp,'' Newbold said. ''As a club, obviously, [there's] a lot of emotion winning a close game like that. But it's quickly refocusing on the job that has to be done next week. There's no use getting too excited this week.''

Hawthorn players have every right to be nervous after Fremantle produced one of the best halves of pressure football to beat Sydney by 25 points in Saturday night's preliminary final at Patersons Stadium.

The Dockers booted five unanswered goals in the second quarter to set up the 14.15 (99) to 11.8 (74) win, with the triumph booking their place in next Saturday's AFL grand final against Hawthorn.

The only concerns for Fremantle are the fitness of defenders Luke McPharlin (adductor) and Michael Johnson (calf).

Sydney has built its reputation on their ability to thrive in the tight, uncompromising clinches of finals football

But it looked a shadow of the unit that won last year's flag, with Fremantle's unrelenting pressure proving the difference in the first half.

The second term was particularly brutal as Sydney struggled to even gain possession of the ball.

When the Swans did get their rare chances, they turned the ball over more often than not.

If it wasn't actual pressure forcing turnovers, it was inferred pressure.

Such was Fremantle's dominance, it took Sydney 28 minutes to have its first disposal inside its forward-50m for the term.

Even that came to nothing, with Jesse White spraying his 48m set shot.

By contrast, the Dockers booted 5.1 for the quarter as they dominated every facet of the game.

The first term was a similar tale - except for Fremantle's finishing.

The Dockers booted a wayward 2.6 from set shots as Matthew Pavlich, Michael Walters, Chris Mayne and Hayden Ballantyne all missed shots they would normally nail.

The 43,249 sellout crowd roared its approval as Fremantle headed into the half-time break with a commanding 39-point lead.

Sydney launched a mini fightback early in the third term, booting three of the first five goals as Fremantle displayed some nerves for the first time in the match.

That was best illustrated by forward Mayne, who was all alone in the goalsquare when he dropped a simple chest mark and fumbled the ball over the line.

But substitute Lachie Neale eased any fears of a choke when he sold the dummy to a Swans defender before drilling a running goal from 40m.

And when Nat Fyfe nailed a goal a minute later, it was game over as Fremantle went into three-quarter time with a 43-point lead.

"It's what we play for to get to this position," Fremantle skipper Pavlich said.

"It's something special. It's something to soak up right now. We'll enjoy the victory for five minutes.

"It's taken a lot of hard work to get to this point."

The Swans added some respectability to the scoreboard with a six-goal final quarter, but that was all in junk time when the game was over.

Sydney's star-studded midfield was supposed to be their strength.

But it was Fremantle's on-ballers who shone, with David Mundy and Fyfe starring.

Michael Walters did the damage up forward with three goals, while Pavlich was influential early.

All-Australian Swans midfielder Kieren Jack was held to just 11 possessions by master tagger Ryan Crowley, who tallied 22 disposals himself and also kicked a goal.

Sydney had few winners on the park.

In the end, their heavy injury toll caught up with them.

With no Adam Goodes, Sam Reid, Kurt Tippett, Rhyce Shaw and Tom Mitchell to call upon, the Swans had no answers to Fremantle's onslaught.

Fremantle's 19-year history has been littered with disappointment and failure.

But Ross Lyon has inspired a cultural shift since taking over as coach two years ago.

In yesteryear, success was craved.

Now it's expected.

Hawthorn had to fight hard to get over Geelong by five points in Friday night's preliminary final.

But they're going to have to produce something even better if they are to win their first flag since 2008.

Your Love...

Josie's on a vacation far away

Come around and talk it over

So many things that I want to say

You know I like my girls a little bit older

I just wanna use your love tonight

I don't wanna lose your love tonight

I ain't got many friends left to talk to

Nowhere to run when I'm in trouble

You know I'd do anything for you

Stay the night but keep it undercover

I just wanna use your love tonight, whoa

I don't wanna lose your love tonight

Try to stop my hands from shakin'

'Cause somethin' in my mind's not makin' sense

It's been awhile since we were all alone

I can't hide the way I'm feelin'

As you're leaving, please, would you close the door?

And don't forget what I told you

Just 'cause you're right, that don't mean I'm wrong

Another shoulder to cry upon

I just wanna use your love tonight, yeah

I don't wanna lose your love tonight

Yeah, I just wanna use your love tonight

I don't wanna lose your love tonight

I just wanna use your love tonight

I don't wanna lose your love tonight

(Lose your love)

Tonight (Lose your love)

I don't wanna lose (Lose your love tonight)

I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna (Lose your love tonight)

No, no (Lose your love tonight)

(Lose your love tonight)

No, no (I don't wanna lose your love tonight)

(Lose your love tonight)...

Where Do You Think You're Going?

Where do you think you're going?

Don't you know it's dark outside?

Where do you think you're going?

Don't you care about my pride?

Where do you think you're going?

I think that you don't know

You got no way of knowing

There's really no place you can go

I understand your changes

Long before you reach the door

I know where you think you're going you

I know what you came here for

And now I'm sick of joking

You know I like you to be free

Where do you think you're going?

I think you better go with me girl

You say there is no reason

But you still find cause to doubt me

If you ain't with me girl

You're gonna be without me

Where do you think you're going?

Don't you know it's dark outside?

Where do you think you're going?

Don't you care about my pride?

And now I'm sick of joking

You know I like you to be free

ISML 2013: Mashiro, Kanade win Nova and Stella

ISML 2013: Mashiro, Kanade win Nova and Stella
Shiina takes Sapphire Circlet, Tachibana earns Diamond Circlet

By JR Salazar
The Bedlam on Baltic Avenue
September 16, 2013

Nothing should have surprised the voters who took part in Match Day 4 of the 2013 International Saimoe League postseason. Mashiro Shiina, long regarded as the class of the Nova Division, took home the Sapphire Circlet, while defending ISML Champion Kanade Tachibana earned the Diamond Circlet as the champion of the Stella Division.

Shiina handlily won every region with the exception of Russia to slam Rikka Takanashi, 4886-3379. It was a much closer race in the Stella Division, with Tachibana edging Gokou in a 4268-4252 thriller. Tachibana won Canada, Western Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Taiwan, all of Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Gokou's strongest efforts came in Russia, China, Korea and Japan.

"It just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it?" Shiina told her supporters earlier today at Suimei Academy of the Arts. "My goal now is to make it to the Tiara final and win it all. I want to clip Tenshi's wings. That is my burning desire, and I want to share it all with you. Tenshi...you are MINE!"

"I can sense that there might be a changing of the guard," Tachibana said at her rally at Tokyo Big Sight. "However, I will not go down without a fight. If Mashiro wants to face me, so be it. But I will defend my Tiara with my life. I will even die defending it, if I have to.

"Come after me, Mashiro Shiina. I dare you to."

While the action is heating up ahead of the league finals, there were some other exhibitions going on in the meantime, and some of the big winners may be on their way to building steam in the Nova Division next season. Kotori Itsuka won her group exhibition, pounding Ayuko Uehara 5613-1188. Leviathan was last with 958 votes. Chiwa Harusaki was also a big winner, defeated Miyuki Koshiki 3700-1955. Kona Furugoori was third with 1765 votes.

Tamako Kitashirawa, the pride of Usagiyama, rolled to a 4681-1779 drilling of Reinforce Zweit. Makoto Kenzaki was third with 768 votes. The face of Shingeki no Kyojin, Mikasa Ackerman, shot down Airi Ban, 5378-1683 in her exhibition. Nanako Saeki was third with 651 votes. The Black Rabbit also was a big winner, hopping to a 4803-1561 whipping of Haruka Minami. Charles Yoshino was third with 1326 votes.

In the sixth group exhibition, Yoshino cruised past Sasha Blouse, 5224-2223, with Muromi-san coming in third with 734 votes. Masuzu Natsukawa crushed Rei Kuroki in her group exhibition, 3865-1962, with Aoi Yukimura earning 1358 votes. Finally, Azusa Azuki leveled Manami Tamura 5512-1570, with Yukari Yukino holding up the rear with 1004 votes.

ISML 2013: Division Finals all set

ISML 2013: Division Finals all set

By JR Salazar
September 14, 2013

Match Day 3 of the 2013 International Saimoe League postseason took place on September 12, 2013. The Division Finals have now been set: in the Nova Division, Mashiro Shiina will take on Rikka Takanashi, while in the Stella Division, Ruri Gokou will take on defending champion Kanade Tachibana.

Shiina defeated Asuna Yuuki 5943-5224. Now there has been a backlash against Sakurasou for its use of Korean food in the show, and that caused Mashiro to not be as popular in Japan. True to 2channel's personal vendetta with Sakurasou, Yuuki won the vote in Japan and Korea. However, the world went a different route, and Shiina won every other region handily.

Takanashi is appreciated in both 2channel and ISML, however, and she edged Kuroyukihime 5720-5565 to advance to the Nova Final. Ironically, she also failed to win the vote in Japan, which went to Hime, who also earned a solid result in the Middle East. Big victories in Europe, Russia, Africa, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Latin America and the United States were more than enough to see Takanashi through.

The other two races were emphatic beatdowns in the Stella Division. Gokou thumped Eucliwood Hellscythe 7133-4666. Kuroneko won every region except for the Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia. Tachibana earned her revenge over Mikoto Misaka in the form of a 7030-5107 win. Tenshi, as she is known, earned big victories in North American, Europe, China, the Middle East, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Australia and New Zealand. The Railgun's biggest victory? Latin America.

Six other exhibitions took place. Rika Shiguma took it to Saki Miyanaga in 2channel and is still alive in that tournament as of right now. Shiguma demolished Himawari Shinomiya 6111-2493. Heroine was third with 1803 votes. Leticia Draculair won her group exhibition over Ai Fuyuumi, 4448-3987. Leila Malkal was third with 2081 votes. Despite being eliminated by Noumi Kudryvaka in 2channel, Kana Minami's resonance is still prevalent in her 4323-3834 victory over Haruka Kotoura. Hamaji was third with 1537 votes.

Tsukiko Tsutsukakushi has yet to take part in 2channel and will do so in a few hours. She warmed herself up with a decisive 7646-2216 rout of Suzuha Amane. Amy was third with 1374 votes. Look for Tsukiko to be a lock to qualify in next year's ISML. Frenda Seivelun is not exactly what you would expect in someone worthy of flying the Index flag in ISML, but after her 6367-2618 demolition of Saki Rukino, fans will start to wonder. Yuuko Uchida was third with 1427 votes. Finally, be on the lookout next season for a certain yui Yuigahama, who defeated Ika-Musume, a perennial prelimary doormat, 5274-4172. Kotoha was third with 1241 votes.

Match Day 4 of the 2013 International Saimoe League postseason is scheduled for Sunday, September 15, 2013. Vote for your favorite candidates at InternationalSaimoe.com and join the ongoing debate.
