[Power Raid]

what a ripping contest

predicting the cats in a close one

 

[Gydafud]

Final team on our Top 8 "list". Must-win for both teams if they want to secure a Top 2 spot. Should be tight.

 

[Cooties]

Should be the game of the round closely followed by the Pies being towelled up by the Giants hopefully... Backing the Cats mainly due to home ground advantage and no Tippett

 

[HBF]

Cats by 15 points in what should be a ripping contest. Been looking forward to this one.

 

[DHepp21]

This is gonna be a bloody beauty. Cats by 8.

 

[juss]

Great Friday night game. Cats by 18

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Can't wait, hoping for a tight contest. Cats to edge it by 15 down in G-Troit.

 

[MotleyLemon]

Cats by 5-6 goals, close until 3QT.

 

[hawks787]

Hopefully a great game of footy, can't pick a winner. Maybe cats, only for being in Geelong. Looking forward to the thread becoming the winner was favoured and the loser shafted as BF tradition, every game, every round, every year.

Cats by a couple of kicks in a ripper

 

[jwint43]

Dunno why geelong are firm favourites, sydney rarely lose twice. They really should have two more wins considering theyve basically lost on the siren twice. Should win in a close one despite cats home ground.

 

[Kram]

Sydney by 11 points.

 

[HBF]

Beautiful night for footy as well. No excuses tonight.

 

[OK Computer]

Swans by 110.

Strange logic - geelong also rarely lose twice in a row

 

[Lsta062]

I say Geelong by 32 points. Sydney is one of the top sides and Geelong generally rock up against the top sides.

 

[Jaeger]

Franklin actually has played at KP before.

2011 praccy match v North.

cats down there too strong

 

[Brutalitops]

Hard to tip against the cats at skilled, but i reckon the swans could do a number on them if they go hard early. Cant wait, should be a cracker.
