I am favouring the Cats, they should be up and about and Melbourne's lack of conditioning looked so bad it would be hard to have any confidence about them, but they went close at Cat Park last year and you'd expect a reaction after last weeks game so who could know for sure? Leaning toward WC, but not confidently and NFI about the Sydney game lol


Why is it that Melbourne saw fit (no pun) to play Jones and Viney when anyone who watched the game saw for themselves that they weren't up to it?


That's a very good question. Maybe it's the old 'better for the run' type strategy.

Whilst not as bad as those blokes I thought Brayshaw looked underdone too. I haven't followed the pre-season so it might just be he had a down day?

Brayshaw had 63 touches, 15 tackles and 4 goals in the two JLT games.

Down day. ;)

If Richmond had played a top 8 side from last year instead of Carlton, Lynch would of had a run in the VFL

No he was bullish about Geelong, maybe a few too many home brews, dunno.

When was the last time we beat Melbourne comfortably? Maybe once in the past five clashes?

See MT I thought we weren't rated at all so I'm not sure how we could be worse than expected.

St Kilda $3.40 on Sportsbet to beat Essendon... worth a dabble?

Richmond v Collingwood - Can't pick it, I think Grundy could be the difference. Collingwood by 14 points.
Sydney v Adelaide - Anyone care to take a guess? Adelaide by 3.
Essendon v St.Kilda - Anyone care to take a guess? Essendon by I'm ****** if I know.
Port Adelaide v Carlton - Port's big men should be the difference,even on a wet day, Port by 29.
Geelong v Melbourne - Geelong should win at home, Melbourne will want to make a statement, Geelong by 11.
West Coast v GWS - Urrgh. Anyone care to take a guess? Eagles by 5, but you can get $2.60 about GWS H2H
North Melbourne v Brisbane - Anyone care to take a guess? North should win, Brisbane could win, I don't think they will. North by 9.
Hawthorn v Western Bulldogs - Hawks should be too good here, should.....by 19 points.
Gold Coast v Fremantle MS - Fremantle could drop this one, they are capable, but I don't expect them too. Fremantle by 29.

Ess to respond V Saints in a match to forget
Port comfortably V Carlton.
Geelong easily v Dees.
West coast v GWS....hmmmm GWS....just
Roos v Lions....no idea, Lions just
Hawks to beat the Dogs in a entertaining open game.
Freo to butter up with another % booster on the beach.

I'm tossing up over Port 1-39 or 40+ for my multi given the rain on Saturday, I'm unsure of my bet too.
