Collingwood don’t tend to tag anyone, so Zorko should be free to rack up a few touches. Neale might pinch a few, but Zorko can go close for sure
I know they don't tag but lol why would they tag Zorko over Neale??
 
Disagree with a bit of this.

Bris were 1W 6L at home vs top 8 last year so relatively uncompetitive at home vs top teams.

As another poster mentioned their wins have been against a WC team that didn't turn up after quarter time, they overran a weak NM team and overran a Port team with injuries to Gray and Rockliff that subsequently lost to a weak Rich team at home. You're right that Coll aren't travelling well - been ordinary in 3 of 4 games but they're a top 4 team and should beat Bris who I don't think will make finals.

If you like Bris small forwards what about De Goey, Elliott, Thomas, Stephenson and Varcoe?

With a big crowd, Beams return and both sides disappointing last week then I expect both teams to be pumped up.

Might be some good value hedging. Coll are very fast starters this year (limited sample size obviously) and Bris have been poor (1 vs 16). SB promo on Coll or Bris come out firing after the Ess debacle and a big crowd? Neale 33 touches and Bris win at $5 looks fantastic value as does Bris 1-39 at $3 if you like the Lions.

Amazed Greenwood isn't playing. Shut down Dusty then plays but no tagging job and gets dropped. Then Bont destroys Coll and now Neale on fire and will be able to run free.

I reckon Syd midfield has been ordinary for a long time. Middle of last season on they just didn't generate enough I50's. Syd backline has certainly gotten worse and they're not kicking goals. With Dusty back and Houli and at the MCG I expect they'll cover the line.

I've found that teams coming off 2 very bad losses then have a breakout game tend to follow it up the next week. I don't expect Rich to be flat and Syd shouldn't be either I just think that Syd's form might well mirror where they are at rather than poor form.

As above think Melb will kick on with some momentum after last week. Not that impressed with the Saints - just beat Hawks without 4 midfielders and 2 backs down for the game. They've been solid for 4 games so surely a down game is on the cards.
I'm thinking that the signs are there that the glory period for weak teams is over.

Bris x 2 shockers. Saints lucky last week with odds against the Hawks. Port losing to a very weak Rich team at home. GC should have lost to Carl.

I'm on the favs to start turning the ship around.
 
1U Brisbane 1-39 @3
1U Witherden over Rich
1U Crisp over Robinson
1U Zorko (-12.5) over Mcluggage
1U Rich U86.5

0.6U C.Brown AGS @3.25 lads
1U Grundy U115.5
1U Neale u120.5
1u Trelaor U109.5

Going hard in eagles vs Port game

4U Ebert U93.5 lads 1.88
1U Darling 1.62 more goals than Westhoff TAB
1U Rocky U34.5 disp 1.96 PB
1U Boak U31.5 disp 1.92 PB
1U Ebert U 22.5 disp 1.87 SB
1U Burton U22.5 disp 1.87 SB
2U Rozee U66 5 @1.88 PB

Think Hoff could spend time on a wing more this week.

Predicting easy eagles win and in wet hard scoeing for disposals. Rocky or Boak to get aggressive Hutchings tag.

Sheppard - Gray
Barrass & Mcgovern - Ryder/Marshall
Jetta - Butters
Duggan - Rozee
Hurn - Ebert
T.Cole - S.Gray

Expected matchups

Looks like we could see a bit of rain before the game. Looks to be clearing up. But by this looks like up to 5mm accumulation 6 hours before the game.
