2016 AFL - Round 7

So still like the Hawks, but the Mitchell news isn't great as it's the one player we can ill afford to lose.

I'm liking Carlton for an upset. They have an older, more experienced team and are in slightly better form. The ins should give them some of the goal scoring power they have lacked to date. Collingwood are also playing after a 6 day break back from Perth. The Pies have three guns - Treloar, Pendles and Sidebottom and the last two are potentially under an injury cloud. Pies have a poor backline in terms of run and skill to create scoring opportunities.

I don't know who to pick out of GC and Melbourne and would welcome any suggestions!

Sydney obviously to heap some punishment on Essendon for a 11 goal win.

I'm with the consensus on here for Geelong to easily clear the line. I feel WC have slipped (as many top 8 teams have done) and it's been glossed over by beating weak sides at home easily. The Geelong midfield and backline is fantastic and the forwardline is showing improvement now with Menzel, Kersten and McArthy kicking goals. WC couldn't go with Hawks or Swans and unlikely to do the same although they will be desperate as the "flat track bullies" comments have been in the press over the last couple of weeks. Geelong have been great in the 4th so it could be close, but they will run away with a 5 goal win.

I see the Ade game as a copycat of the NM game. A potent attack vs a small defense is a clear mismatch. WB are also struggling to kick goals if Stringer is well held as they are too small. Their form has subtly dropped off in line with the loss of key personnel. Jacobs winning the ruck should help mitigate the expected loss through the midfield. I don't like Laird missing as they leak a few goals, but they should have enough firepower for a 2 goal win.

Given GWS should have beaten Melb in round 1 (without Cameron) they could have easily been 5 and 1. They are flying and should have too much skill and run and carry for Freo. Their forwardline should cause troubles with Stevie J, Lobb and Cameron. I figure Lyon will try and turn this into a defensive affair and they have some experience back in. If GWS are switched on for the trip they should win by 3 goals.

Any feedback let me know, but i'm fairly confident in the above with the exception of GC / Melb. Also not sure why the Dogs have firmed so much?

I have them in 4 multis which of course got put on before the Mitchell news.

I'm on the beers, not that's it'll help the Hawks but good luck to us hahaha Really looking forward to this thriller!

Another 3 point win perhaps in a nail biter, give the replacements a challenge then. While It hurts now it's paying double and to see players dropping like flies too, It's not a massive deal should they lose, but I'm still positive they should pull through. Three players out shouldn't mean the entire team falls over, it should mean the replacements step up to the challenge. No doubt Richmond will take courage from this news tho.

Liking most of your thoughts there.
Cats have had four weeks of soft out of form teams but decent margins. WC mids just arent
 
Ceglar FGS @21 (named full forward)
Martin FGS @26 (named centre half forward)
Edwards FGS @23 (named forward pocket)

fiver on each

Let us take comfort from the Port reserves beating Richmond by 6 goals...

Cats have had four weeks of soft out of form teams but decent margins. WC mids just arent clicking, but they are a serious hard bodied side, who can rattle cats if they bring the hard game when travelling. GC v melb . NFI. I had doggies with the way they play with a bit of burnout by round 9/10. But those injuries may bring it on sooner. Just feedback, but this whole round is odd. Maybe WC to bring something against Cats who might get ahead of themselves

Gonna wait for tigers to get out and then get on the hawks line. Have the tigers played 4 quarters this year?
 
F#$k hawks were 15 to win the first quarter before those two goals, i was in the middle placing the bet on bet365 (free swing) and the odds changed to 4.45, now they are into 2. Gonna suck so much if hawks win the quarter
