Round 18 tips and crowds

I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he is using the Tapatalk app which doesn't show bolded text.

Thank you, man. Thought this thread was smoking something.

 

[WWSD]

The same way you beat Geelong in 2008

I'm not saying Essendon can't win. Believe me i give Essendon a chance, but look at their outs. The chances of Essendon winning is pretty low right now you would think.

Monfries (test)
McVeigh (test)
Prismall
Zaharakis
Crameri (in doubt)
Hurley
Myers (in doubt)
Ryder
Reimers
Hibberd

Grimes is a better player than Kreuzer already. Foley was in better form than Judd this year pre injury.

Richmond will beat Carlton easily. Not that it matters, the year is already over unless we can win 6/6.

I find your DP awfully distracting!

1. No idea

Richmond will beat Carlton easily.

2. No excuses

 

[workhorse]

Because the toothless feral element in nsw follow a rugby club rather than some foreign afl club.

Well thank you for wasting everybody's time. Now please, let us return to our (relatively) humane discussion while you return home. i.e. Back under your bridge

It's so you don't have to read the bullshit in his posts.

 

[lmach]

really 81 points gee you have a short memory did you forget we beat you early in the year im not saying you wont win but 81 points

Oh sorry, I forgot you beat us earlier. Being my usual silly self, I also forgot that if one team beats another team, the same thing is guaranteed to happen the next time around. So I change my tip to Brisbane by 2 points.

I know it is Joel Corey's 250th but seriously will Geelong defeat Adelaide by 7 goals plus as a few posters are suggesting. Adelaide aren't sitting at 13-3 with 133% for no reason.

Geelong haven't beaten any side this year by any more than 7 goals at Simounds and they have played Richmond, Melbourne and Port (all strugglers) this year to date there. GWS being the exception.

Just wondering the logic.

This reminds me very much of essendon vs Carlton in round 4

Carlton had just smashed the pies and were going to smash essendon by at least 60 and then were going on to win the flag...

this is the sort of game we could win

 

[Stewies Power]

Essendon vs. Hawthorn - By 31pts (51k)
Geelong vs. Adelaide - By 17pts (22k)
North Melbourne vs. Melbourne - By 35pts (28k)
GWS vs. Collingwood - By 73pts (13k)
Carlton vs. Richmond - By 18pts (55k)
Gold Coast vs. Sydney - By 25pts (14k)
Port Adelaide vs. Fremantle - By 35pts (20k)
St Kilda vs. Western Bulldogs - By 35pts (30k)
West Coast vs. Brisbane - By 34pts (37k)

Essendon have been THE giant killers in recent seasons, definitely a chance to win.

Yep, exactly, if Hawks players think the game is a gimme they'll go into shell mode and might be until the last 10 mins of the last quarter for them to snap out of it. Plus Essendon are very quick.

 

[SuperSub17]

Essendon beat an undefeated St Kilda in 2009
Essendon beat an undefeated Geelong in 2011 the week after a ten-goal loss
Essendon beat an apparently white-hot Carlton in 2012

They may well win on Friday.

 

[Dan26]

I can't see us beating Hawthorn. The Hawks are so precise, they will chop us to bits.

I thought this going into the richmond game too. That panned out well for us. I myself am not as arrogant as some other hawthorn supporters on here and certainly dont think we are certainties. Sure if we come out and play our best footy we will win but sheesh we dont always bring that and its hard to stay up for many many weeks. Second half against sydney a prime example! We snooze on friday essendon will give us a horrible fright!

We do have lots of outs, but 3 mentioned there aren't near best 22.

 

[The_Big_Ship]

Essendon vs. Hawthorn - By 5
Geelong vs. Adelaide - By 38
North Melbourne vs. Melbourne - By 60
GWS vs. Collingwood - By 83
Carlton vs. Richmond - By 1
Gold Coast vs. Sydney - By 70
Port Adelaide vs. Fremantle - By 15
St Kilda vs. Western Bulldogs - By 10
West Coast vs. Brisbane - By 23

 

[TheKanga]

It would be a disaster for Saints if they dropped a game to Bulldogs.
Especially with how tight the race for top 8 is.

Just as it would be a disaster for North if they dropped the game against Melbourne.

Yeah that would be, it won't happen though.
Melbourne haven't beat North since 2006 and they hate Etihad.

North by 90 points, Petrie will kick 7 goals.

You seem to love North more than Hawthorn

North go alright.

Reimers and Prismall i agree with.. but McVeigh not in your best 22? I don't know where Hibberd would even fit in your best 22? Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't this be your back 6?
