Winners this week will be;

Hawthorn 27pts - too much quality for Geelong
Fremantle 9pts - have a feeling that th Dockers will do the Swans at ANZ
Nth Melb. - 15pts - although could go either way
Richmond 21pts - have momentum and will not be fazed travelling to AO


Geelong by 7 - this final 'doesn't matter'
Swans by 9.8 points - stop. COLA time
Essendon by 45 points - North are shite.
Port by 38 points - Richmond played their Granny in Sydney last week.

Certainly true, but on the radio they were talking about him playing up forward feeding off Hawkins, marshalling the troops and providing the usual flashes of brilliance. Could be put in the midfield in small bursts. It might just work!

A bit hard to say no to the AFL when they've constantly bailed you out in recent times.

And you can bet that was mentioned in the "courtesy call" Thomas received on Sun night from Mark Evans.

Regardless of the above the whole jumper issues is a complete shambolic cluster fvck!

I think the real question is if Port can produce alternate jumpers in such a short time, why weren't Richmond told to do this as they are the away team? I hope Port send the AFL or Richmond the bill.

My tips
Geelong 13-24
Sydney 1-12
Port 13-24
North 25+

Hawks to possibly go out in straight sets
Freo geelong prelim
Sydney to cruise through and lose GF day

I'm sure their supplier had no issue getting these ready @ minimal or no cost to the club. If all parties are smart which I'm sure they are they would get shit loads made up and sell them @ the ground and make a tidy profit....

Port being clever here. They've effectively modelled a big game that will now resemble Magpies v Bays and we all know how they end up
