My picks for the weekend
Collingwood v Essendon: Pies
Freo v Geelong: Cats
Carlton v Adelaide : Crows
Bulldogs v West Coast : Dogs
Port Adelaide v St Kilda: Saints
Brisbane v Melbourne : Lions
Roos v Sydney : Swans
Hawthorn v Richmond : Hawks

Sorry about the late post, absolute hectic week in work and havent had much time to myself at all. Must change around my damn fantasy team too, had loads of injuries last week and dropped vital points which saw me slip out of top spot!

Picks for the weekend, Collingwood I think will beat a strengthening Essendon. Collingwood have been unlucky in the games they lost, and arguably could and should have won some of them. Cats to run riot on the Fockers. Crows to take care of Carlton, but it might not be easy. Unfortunately, I cant see the Eagles win this one, and may not see them win for a while with a tough schedule ahead. Saints to overcome a tricky tie in SA.Lions to easily beat a crap Demons side. Swans should have enough over the roos, but I wouldnt bank on it. And the Hawks should also overcome the Tigers, but it might not be too easy either.

Collingwood destroying Essendon at the mo in the Anzac Day grudge game. Up by over 50 in the last quarter.

Lol at the Eagles fans tipping them to lose and the non-Eagles fans tipping them to win.

I know the Collingwood game is over but I did tip 'em, I swear.

hanton12

just got a text there saying the Fockers nearly beat Geelong, and Pavlich missed a set shot in last minute (off post I think) to win it. Geelong won by a point after being down by over 20 in the last quarter.

Xavi6

Yep superb stuff alright

Whether it was by 1 or 101 a loss is still a loss!

Skittlebrau

The Cats are getting complacent I reckon. They'll be caught out soon. Pity they don't play Hawthorn til round 17 or something.

Xavi6

Eagles getting hockeyed again. Aker's kicked some unreal goals.

Roos and sydney drew. Think I have really under rated North Melbourne this year. They are more than holding their own so far and look to be getting into the finals again this year. I watched the Collingwood game on Friday, they got beack to winning ways in style. Clarke played well too, good to see him back to form. Watched the Lions game yesterday too, but it was absolute muck. Players strolling around for the entire game. Melbourne are brutal.

R6 Results

Collingwood 154 Essendon 81
Fremantle 88 Geelong 89
Carlton 81 Adelaide 111
Port Adelaide 82 St Kilda 61
Western Bulldogs 134 West Coast 74
Brisbane 137 Melbourne 85
North Melbourne 64 Sydney 64
Hawthorn 106 Richmond 94


Again, a few surprises in the round.

Collingwood demolished Essendon, getting some welcome points. Maybe a top-8 finish is not beyond their reach.

Geelong barely pipped Fremantle. Perhaps a sign of champions, winning 'ugly'.

Carlton continue their poor form, a solid win for Port, Bulldogs hammering WCE who may wish the season was already over. The Lions and the Hawks winning again.

Sydney always manage to produce low-scoring games or is that my imagination.

Looks like Hawks or Geelong, with Hawks looking very consistent in getting wins.
