Round 9 tips and Crowd Expectations

[Vtorians]

It certainly won't be a 20 goal ball game. GWS will be trying to make a good start at their new stadium, and Essendon are due for at least a slump in their form. Remember Gold Coast's first game at Metricon last year, had the Cats measure for 2 and a half quarters.

I think we just had it.

We should be switched on for GWS

I suppose being a senior member doesn't mean you have any clues...it just means you have had no clues for a long time

So where was I wrong? Cyril is hot and cold, he's had 2 good games this year. Bruest hasn't done anything all year and Roughy still looks a little rusty IMO.

 

[Macca18]

I can't believe so many people are tipping the Bombers to win by a huge margin, I think this is a danger game for us, if we do win it will be pretty close.

Agreed. We played really poorly on Saturday Night and GWS will certainly test us as Sheeds will have a few tricks up his sleeve.

For those looking at the Adelaide v Collingwood crowd. Last night there were only 1,000 tickets left for the game! The hard part is how many of the members will actually turn up.

Trevanian's crowd predictions look pretty spot-on.

 

[Pal22]

W.Bulldogs vs Geelong - Will be interesting to see how Dogs go after a 6 day break playing in Darwin, expecting a tight contest early, but Cats to overun a tired Dogs - Cats by 21pts

Richmond vs Hawthorn - Will it be 5th time lucky for the Tigers to get a big scalp? expecting them to give another spirted showing but Hawks have too much firepower up forward - Hawks by 16pts

Gold Coast vs Port Adel - Suns won't get a better chance to finally win a game at Metricon but like the Dogs may run out puff towards the end, so tipping Power in a close one - Power by 7pts

St Kilda vs Sydney - Tough one to pick, won't be suprised if Saints one but tipping Swans - Swans by 11pts

GWS Giants vs Essendon - Giants will want to put up a good showing for the opening of their new stadium, but Bombers are white hot at the moment and should win, although can't seeing be a huge blowout - Bombers by 45pts

Adelaide vs Collingwood - What a huge clash this will be, Pies love playing on the road while the Crows are playing exciting football, will be a thriller but home side just - Crows by 4pts

North Melb vs Brisbane - Surely the Roos won't make it 3 losses in a row to lowly opposition, surely - Roos by 30pts

Carlton vs Melbourne - Good chance for the Blues to get some form back vs the ever struggling Demons - Blues by 65pts

West Coast vs Fremantle - Should be low scoring tight derby, but Eagles in better form - Eagles by 10pts

Crowd Predictions
W.Bulldogs vs Geelong @ ES - 33,000
Richmond vs Hawthorn @ MCG - 51,000
Gold Coast vs Port Adel @ MS - 12,000
St Kilda vs Sydney @ ES - 29,000
GWS Giants vs Essendon @ SK - 17,000
Adelaide vs Collingwood @ AS - 44,000
Nth Melb vs Brisbane @ ES - 17,000
Carlton vs Melbourne @ MCG - 40,000
West Coast vs Fremantle @ PS - 39,000

 

[Impunity!]

A lot of people underestimating Freo.

Will be a low scoring and tight derby, as some posters said above.

 

[1873 United]

I'll go out on a limb and state the saints are a real chance this weekend.

It certainly won't be a 20 goal ball game. GWS will be trying to make a good start at their new stadium, and Essendon are due for at least a slump in their form. Remember Gold Coast's first game at Metricon last year, had the Cats measure for 2 and a half quarters.

They still got blown away by 10 goals in the end, although I guess that's better than a 20 goal loss. Reckon we'll see something similar this week.

 

[Righteo]

Trevanian's crowd predictions look pretty spot-on.

The Subi crowd estimate is a bit odd though, won't be getting that many.

Agreed, I have bought 2 tickets so I can put my knitting on the other seat

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

So where was I wrong? Cyril is hot and cold, he's had 2 good games this year. Bruest hasn't done anything all year and Roughy still looks a little rusty IMO.

Last sentence is wrong.

Bruest was outstanding last week and Roughy has been our most important player the past month.

Cyril may be hot and cold, but his hot is unstoppable.

 

[PCORF]

I'm gonna pick a few upsets this weekend.

Westen Bulldogs def Geelong by 22pts. Crowd 30,000
Hawthorn def Richmond by 18pts. Crowd 57,000
Port Adelaide def Gold Coast by 46pts. Crowd 8,000
St Kilda def Sydney by 8pts. Crowd 26,500
Essendon def Giants by 50pts. Crowd 20,000
Adelaide def Collingwood by 2pts. Crowd 46,000 (Crows will trail all night and kick the last 5 goals of the game to win... well thats what I'm hoping for)
North def Brisbane by 33pts. Crowd 17,500
Carlton def Melbourne by 59pts. Crowd 45,000
Fremantle def West Coast by 6pts. Crowd 41,500
