When in doubt, follow the odds.

Haven't seen the odds. Think Melbourne, Fremantle, and Essendon are all rough tips, and I'm nervous every time the Cats have a 'home' game at Etihad, especially against St Kilda and North.

Are your tips similar?

I follow the odds on 'Footytips'

Titus Oreilly on the Tigs Dees games ...

Melbourne are going to have their work cut out against the Premiers-elect.

Richmond have not lost a game yet. They haven’t played an AFL side yet either, but they are undefeated.

The Tigers must fancy their chances here of going 5-0. Melbourne capitulated so easily in the third quarter that even Tigers players must think they are mentally brittle.

The Dees at least get Jesse Hogan back who I think got suspended for smoking behind the shed during recess.

Melbourne fans will be hoping he can light up the MCG on Monday night (thanks, I worked on that for several days.

I’m more concerned he might light up on the eternal flame, which would be a bad look.

Tigers to win because the Dees burnt me last week. Again.

wet weather footy is a good equaliser

From the same article:

'Chris Fagen should be sacked....I don't actually believe it but I want to go on record as the first to say it. And in the modern media landscape being first is much more important than being right.'

Titus O's 'literary' 'style' reminds me of forummer ABC former who followed me across to ILX and provided about half the post count, Addledville's own Cats fanatic Rik E Boy.

Lions 75 - Bulldogs 43 at HT?!

Doggies stormed home in the last quarter to win easily.

who comes up with this rubbish?

Buddy kicks goal #800. Unfortunately for him, the Swans are copping a thrashing at the hands of GWS.

so 5/5 for everyone?

Two blasts from the past there.

So far so good, Fremantle game could have gone either way. Couple of difficult predictions today though!

Yup

Trust West Coast to ****** up the AFL's best joke

They are perennially overrated by the media though.

I expected the Tiges and Hawks to roll them and they did. The Saints were unlucky against them too.

In 1994, the last time Hawthorn found themselves at the tail end of the ladder, they hauled themselves off by beating, Guess Who? (By 12 goals no less....in Burton Cummings & Randy Bachmann's own backyard).

They went on the play finals, and the other lot also recovered from the shock fairly quickly.....

Terrible fade-out from the Dees sees Richmond prevail again.

The Drug Beagles: I see a former Rookie listed Weazel - surname (less than) Sharp was sentenced to 9 years for armed robbery. Got into coke when listed at the weasels in 2004. At least rip-snortin Boundary Line Benny C will have someone to play kick to kick in gaol.

having no ruckman and only 2 on the bench didn't help.
