North Melbourne -15.5
They are better than last week, maybe they got ahead of themselves and thought they could coast against the Dogs, who knows...It won't happen again this week. They have beaten Port 3/4 at Aami and 5/6 overall the last few years. You would dare say that they have improved and Port have gone the other way. I think that line is more than generous and if they want to be taken seriously they should be putting a team like Port away by 6 goals plus.
Essendon -12.5
As usual people (the media) seem to be getting carried away with Richmond. That game was there for the taking last week, to their credit they did win but the Swans are flat and they only did what was expected in my eyes. They were also outscored after 1/4 time... Essendon have been nothing but impressive and will put them away with ease. I think this game will show the difference between the top 6 and the next tier.
Brisbane -30.5
The Giants have been to Tasmania, Adelaide, Canberra and Melbourne in their short 7 week History. Now they have to hop on another plane to Brisbane. I think this week might be the breaking point for them. These kids just aren't used to the rigors of this kind of travel and aches and pains of being professional footballers. It wouldn't surprise me to see a few of them rested after last weeks heroics as I can see a few of them coming to the end of their tether.
By no means are the Lions a good team, it's just that they are just in the right place at the right time. Their forward structure is good enough to kick some goals, in particular is Brown can get off the leash. Their midfield should give them enough chances to score fairly heavily and I think the Giants might be in a bit of trouble.
Excellent multi Kardinia park. Strongly agree with North easily, and true about Richmond, they had that game for the taking and the Swans got back to within a couple of goals, whereas the Tigers should of had them buried. Also you make a good point regarding BWS and their travel. Plus I expect a huge letdown after their first ever win last week.
