2015 Grand Final prequel do you reckon?

How does it start at 6.10pm in WA but 7.30pm in Victoria? Is there a delorean involved?

 

[ManWithNoName]

TV coverage is so heavily biased towards the eastern states that it'll already be quarter time here before the game even starts in Perth.

Just a guess, but 7:30 eastern is probably when the broadcast starts....with 40 minutes of 'insight' from the commentators...So for your own sanity, don't turn the TV on until 8:10.

Carlton usually play pretty well over in Subi. Odds are pretty good for an upset.

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Losing Brown and Newman to long term injuries this week,
Just hope for a game with no serious injuries.
Cant believe we lose Newman who would of played this week, for so long over a finger injury.
He would of been ideal in the wet tonight.

Yeah Carlton to get up for mine

Then off to the pub and tell everyone he's a journalist.

I wouldn't mind Ablett lining up for us. In fact I wouldn't mind just about the entire Gold Coast midfield at the moment - and backline - and forwardline - in fact everyone but Naitanui.

 

[Kram]

Eagles by 11 points.

 

[juss]

Two bottom 6 sides, despite the fact that Carlton apparently play well in Perth, I'd have to go with the Eagles, if it's wet, then the fact they don't have any key defenders won't matter as much. I'm tipping them on nothing else than the home ground advantage, and that Naitanui should destroy Carlton's ruck division.

Eagles by 4

This will be one for the ages

Looking like being wet is it?

Carlton looked like they really struggled to kick much of a score last week which is a worry.

 

[AFL Analytics]

we have a model which projects Carlton to win by 8 points, with a 76% chance of covering the +12.5 line and 64% chance of winning outright.

We are also projecting Carlton to score 14 or more behinds, current lines at 10.5 behinds.

If Carlton have 14 scores in total they'll be doing well.

You betcha! A must-see for all of us who love watching mediocre teams playing uninspired footy. Go team!

 

[Jack Lord]

Actually, that's a bit tough. The Eagles are having a go and the Blues were my second team until they were tainted by Mick.

Eagles by 5 goals.
