cracker round coming up. a toss of the coin for probably all games.

You're playing brisbane

 

[TheKanga]

Dont think Melbourne have beaten us since 2006 or 2007

 

[Bokonon_]

Cause Brisbane and North are in the same class of team this season as St Kilda since when?

If you think St Kilda are gonna be a pushover like those two teams best think again

Actually North as likely as the Swans to be finalists IMHO and I dont write off either. Agree the Saints on form a big challenge for either.

So many tipping Geelong. I know it's a topsy/turvy season but wow.

It's a huge game for Geelong at home. If they can't make a statement down there they're in some trouble. They play well against the WB and they aren't a bad outfit. It's effort based.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Geelong v Western Bulldogs, Kardinia Park, 19pts, near-capacity(sellout) - at the cattery was nearly enough to tip Geel, Dogs still way off their best
St Kilda v Sydney, Docklands, 12pts, 29k - I'm not sold on St Kilda at all, easily go either way
Greater Western Sydney v Richmond, Showgrounds, 51pts, 9k
Brisbane v Adelaide, Gabba, 78pts, 17k
Collingwood v Hawthorn, MCG, 16pts, 72k - for the first time in many years, hard to tip this match-up
Essendon v West Coast, Docklands, 38pts, 39k, Eagles might struggle on the road but are that much better
Melbourne v North Melbourne, MCG, 41pts, 27k - for a long time Dees were shit and we were good to mediocre; now we're shit, they're mediocre
Fremantle v Carlton, Subiaco, 64pts, 39k

Think you will break the duck this week.

You're playing brisbane

u guys have seriously dented my confidence. gut feeling we will record an arsey win from a bit of inexperience of the lions.

 

[BotsMaster]

With no Beams Rockliff and Robinson the Lions are in massive trouble if Adelaide don't win by at least 100 points that's a huge win for the Lions

Won't happen if Sloane cops a hard tag.

[underthestars]

Geelong - have the wood on the Dogs and need to stand up now.
St Kilda - motivated after the witchhunt from media bullies like Roos and Caro.
GWS - not in great form, but c'mon, it's richmond.
Adelaide - Nice game to get when your confidence is down
Collingwood - just when Bucks looks done they win and it starts all over again.
Essendon - it might not be at the G, but this Eagles team aint all that.
North Melbourne - Dees in great form, near certs - so a loss it is.
Fremantle - A sledgeless win, bar the baying crowd.

 

[smasha]

Giants grand final coming up,they will not play like a Sunday brunch like they did against Collingwood,that's for certain.

What rule will the umpires invent against Richmond this week?

 

[Farang83150]

I'm sure i saw him in an episode of "Bum Fights"...he lost to a Joe Dirt look-a-like and stole his frozen airplane turd!

GF it is not, challenge it definitely is.

 

[smasha]

Liked,some teams falling away which leaves the door open for Richmond.
Hated,Richmonds first three quarters but some more invented frees by the umpires.
Learnt, #weareshanewarnesgrandfinal

 

[JPetro83]

I give up.. who knows. but I will have a crack

Geelong 12 points (cats don't lose at Kardinia park) capacity
Sydney 29 points (they have found form) 32K
GWS by 33 points 13K
Brisbane by 7 points 19K (Crows look shot.. they have no answers and they let teams score too heavily against them)- I am heading up to brissy for this one.
Collingwood by 9 points 55K
West Coast by 22 points 35K
Melbourne by 41 points 39k
Freo by 62 points 40K

 

[AFLOnline]

LMFAO.

You're really comparing a team that will struggle to get a win for the rest of the season, a team that's purely rebuilding to a team that's one game off top spot? Come on mate.

Imagine being this upset days later

A little confidence could make the Swans dangerous this weekend, either that or they think every game is gonna be as easy as the last 2 and flop.

Pre round 1 few would have pencilled in us beating the Swans in Round 9 (along with a whole bunch of other teams beating them too) so if we do win on Saturday I consider it a bonus

Sorry Skip, hope I am wrong.

Sorry Skip, hope I am wrong.

I can imagine the melts on our board if we lost by that much.
