Round 2 Tips and Crowd

[ipk086]

Very hard round to tip imo, Geelong, Hawthorn and Bulldogs the only obvious winners.

I wouldn't call us certain winners. Still wont get close to fielding our first 22, will be a test as to how the young guns go though!

[Kings Army]

We didn't lose by 10 goals at home

Freo played the 3rd best team of 08 Ess played the 13th best. Is the injury list being used as an excuse as yet? I saw Laycock missed.

I'm not sure why the Dogs would be obvious winners. Last year (when they were up and going) we beat them both times, and once by a fairly large margin.
I agree that chances are the Dogs will win- but I wouldn't think they were certainties.

I'm surprised to see a few people tip less than 40,000 at AAMI Stadium on Friday Night. They're usually popular games and coming off our win on the weekend there should be more than 40,000 there.

The weather forecast is looking reasonable as well, so that helps.

Fairly large margin? mate, you beat us by 3 points [we should have won after Johnno missed the easiest of set shots after the siren], and beat us by 20 points.

Plus, whats LAST YEARS form got to do with this years? The Dogs could never beat Sydney, but we defeated them 3 times out of 3 last year.

 

[TorresIsGod]

Adelaide by 15 (41,000)
Geelong by 76 (sell out, not sure what the official capacity is with redevelopments)
Collingwood by 25 (44,000)
Carlton by 43 (40,500)
Hawthorn by 18 (29,500)
Essendon by 27 (25,000)
North by 2 (30,000 supporters) (lots of tickets given away to firefighters etc. etc, so 40,000 is my guess)
West Coast by 13 (31,000)

Adelaide vs St Kilda (15 pts) - 33,000

Fair enough. Would you say one round where both teams beat non fancied opponents comprises a strong form line either way?

Some danger games this weekend, even though it's round 2! With so much speculation about sides 'having no chance' of playing finals (Already which is unbelievable) I think there are some big games this weekend. Ess v Frem game is big - Freo should win, but if they lose this many will again write them off. WCE v Port also big, Eagles lose this and people will jump off. We should see a much stronger Tigers side this week, Geelong should get home, but my boys should push hard. Never mind the Tiggies, they've got a tough 3 games then a dream run where we should gain some ground.

Means bugger all, but our 10 goal win in Perth rates higher than your 6 goal win against Melbourne. Rightly or wrongly that's just the way it is.... Plus know-one ever gives North a chance against more highly rated (??) opponents.

Saying that you always play well against us, so it should be another close one.
