Back from hols and missed the last couple of weekends, so catching up on games and highlights on the sky box. Carlton had a right good win over collingwood, whose consitency has been terrible this year. Hawks had a bad loss to the roos, who also have some consitency problems. Its very competetive around the middle tier now again, but I still think the current top 8 will be that at the end of the season.

This week, Hawks will have too much for the still struggling Eagles. Carlton/Richmond could be a good tight game, but the Blues are showing enough form to win that. Roos/Saints should be another tight one, I'm tipping the roos to keep up their good form. Bulldogs should have enough to beat Power, as with the Lions over Melbourne. Freo are bad, so the bombers are the better of 2 bad teams. Geelong and the Crows should be another good tester of a game, as with Sydney against Collingwood, depending on which Pies side turns up, the one who trashed Geelong, or the one who faltered badly to Carlton. Some really evenly matched ties this week (and next week) apart form the opening game.

It's meant to be kind of a midseason break. Very ghey if you ask me.

Hawthorn v West Coast : Hawks
Richmond v Carlton : Tigers
North Melbourne v St Kilda : Roos
Western Bulldogs v Port Adelaide : Dogs
Melbourne v Brisbane : Lions
Fremantle v Essendon : Bombers
Adelaide v Geelong : Cats
Sydney v Collingwood : Swans

Tigers to beat the Blues for me. Judd may not play and Richo has his troops fired up lately.

The rest pick themselves.

I agree with this.
For the hard ones to call are Tigers v Blues, and Dockers v Bombers.
Going with Blues, as I support them! And Bombers, as the dockers are terrible.

Almost the same as the others for me, but I expect the Dockers to beat the Bombers, just because it's over in Perth. Both teams are pretty poor but I reckon home advantage should see them through.

I'm very much torn on the Tigers v Blues game, especially as Judd won't be playing, but I'm going to go with my heart on this one and tip the Blues.

Another loss as expected for the Eagles tonight. Roughead was on fire for the Hawks and kicked 6.

On a positive note, Priddis had 45 possessions for us! :eek:

EDIT: And Kerr had 40. Crazy stuff.

Apparently the possessions total for the game is the 2nd highest in AFL history.

One Cold Hand

Only caught the first half, but Roughhead was brilliant.

Kerr got a lot of ball in the first half but couldn't do much with it. The Eagles seemed to insist of playing handballs the whole way up the pitch for some reason, instead of kicking it. Looked more like rugby at times!

One Cold Hand

A predicatably tight game between the tigers and the blues. Tiger a point up going into the last quarter.

Come on Fev!

One Cold Hand

The Blues kick 5 unanswered goals half way through the middle of the last quarter to pull 30 points clear. Final score 118-88.

Bollox to that anyway

Some massive shocks already this round with the Saints doing the Roos and unbelievably Melbourne beating the Lions by a point.
