Good win by the Tiges last night. My fave ex Mrs H texted me with the reminder that while the Bloods are 0-5,the Tiges are 5-0.

Our start is expected. A lifetime supporting the Bloods prepares one for disappointment. The past two decades an aberration.

Swans should be ok, since they play Carlton this week

Took a chance & tipped the Dons. Looks like they will be run down in the last quarter. Obviously did'nt take enough juice. Evil or Very Mad

All safe. 7/9 here. I think there will be a lot of 8's.

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

Oui, but they had twenty interchanges up their sleeve.

Pies down again; our list is comfortably worst in the league atm. Our coach is horribly inept too.

There have been Chinese whispers concerning Roos and Clarko, but why would they want to?

Surely Carlton and Mickey M'house have killed off the idea of the 'messiah' coach for the foreseeable plus a good while longer?? (The aforementioned fantasists and 'Chinese whisperers' on the alt-media notwithstanding)

Tend to agree with this, but CFC has a history of not going through the process properly. In fact it would be decades and decades since we have done this.

Our recent history also suggests that we alternate between favourite sons and outsiders. It's the turn of the latter.

This week is a real lottery.

My tips:

GWS (16 points), Hawks, Sydney, Port, North, Fremantle, Essendon, Geelong, Adelaide.

by Big Dog Thu 27 Apr 2017, 07:44

GWS (15) Hawks, Swans, Port, North, WC, Melb, Geelong, Adelaide

by Nath Thu 27 Apr 2017, 08:50

the Western derby is a bit of a toss-up, but most of the other games (in theory) should be easy to tip.

by lardbucket Thu 27 Apr 2017, 09:06

Essendon v Melbourne? Dees have no ruck ...

and Hogan isn't playing due to a family death

by Nath Sat 29 Apr 2017, 06:31

zero effort from Hawks today.

by lardbucket Sat 29 Apr 2017, 06:36

Erk. I'm officially off the Hawks tipping list after this.

Looks like they will miss the 8 now.

by embee Sat 29 Apr 2017, 07:29

Sydney ...WTF?

by JGK Sat 29 Apr 2017, 07:47

Oh dear Swans.

by Nath Sat 29 Apr 2017, 08:23

at least we're not as crap as the Swans fishing

At least Port look like doing the right thing as far as my tips go.

1/3 and looking good for 2/4, but a hard round.

The Hawks and Sydney really have fallen fast, when you consider that the Hawks had won something like 19 straight in Launceston before today, and the Swans made the GF last year.
