[Bring-Back-Powell]

Brisbane by 41pts. 33K. Lions to run over the Pies in the humidity.
North by 1pt. 39K - Essendon to blow a 34 point half time lead.
Port by 3pts. 51K - West Coast to have an early season flat spot.
GWS by 79pts. 9K - Think the Freo early season party may be over. GWS are lethal at Canberra.
St Kilda by 11 pts. 33K - Dees can't keep up with fast teams at the MCG.
Sydney by 42 points. 37K. Richmond to be gallant in defeat, but Swans play Docklands very well.
Carlton by 14 points. 32K. Carlton are overdue for a win. They'll get it here.
Adelaide by 50 points. 43K. GC are horrid at Adelaide Oval.
Hawthorn by 19pts. 67K. Hawks will be filthy they threw 4 points away last week. Always lift a gear against the Cats.

Tigers my darkhorse,Buddy without Rance on him but likely to line up on Astbury or Grimes,who ever wins this battle will win,Buddy due but we have the big gun Lynch in our forward line,must win for both clubs.

Everyone thinking tiges will have a comfortable win against the swans don’t know the history of these games. Generally close games and with no rance to play on buddy and all the criticism he has copped this week he will come out firing. Marvel also favours the swans more than the tigers, tough game coming up.

meh. don't entirely agree. 25 point win last year. buddy kicked 4. we started really well and had a strong first 10 mins of the last qtr but overall tiges were easily the better side. i dont see this as being a tough game for richmond. coming off last week, martin back, it should be a walk in the park.

Can it even fit 40k? I thought the max was like 37 with the scoreboard adjustment?

Spot on. 42000 is what the Gabba's site claims.

 

[snooplions]

With the new big screens and the verandah it's been reduced to a capacity of around 36,900

AFL early this week said it was around 34K.

 

[Tom14]

AFL early this week said it was around 34K.

There was an updated story that suggested it was around 36,000 or so. The 34k refers to the number of sellable tickets, whether the crowd ends up more than that depends on Gabba members turning up.

Last year we were flying, yes we had a good win last week but we are still undermanned and kids form can fluctuate a bit week to week. We go in favourites but I’m not expecting an easy game against the swans at all.

Saints by 53 points
Dmons will whinge and moan brayshaw got cut open by big bad stkilda man.

We will grind them into the ground by half time. they wont wanna
come out of rooms. Most will
call their mums and go
off to brighton in their rangy while
suckin caviar in the foetal position.

Far out saints are tough now. be afraid dees. go deeeees.

Your "undermanned" is far superior to our full strength.

It’s Brisbane. They won’t show up to any losing teams.
