Bit hard to get excited about the other games this round given our form in the first two weeks but even for cellar dwellers such as the MFC there are a few 8 point games this weekend.

Collingwood v WCE could decide top spot at the end of the season. Can the Tigers scrape through without their stars against the Giants. Who's top of the heap between Hawks and Roos.

Finally can the Doggies continue on their winning way against the Suns.

And of course the Cats have the chance in Adelaide tonight to show that once again they are a force to be reckoned with.

cows missing jacobs favours the puddy tatts for mine

our game, toss of the coin, least worst wins, which i fear will be them

you'd think cola should get over carltank without charlie curnow

gw$ should be too good for rance / riewoldt less tiggas

the filth over meth coke in the gf rematch

bears-pear could be the game of the round, i favour the former on their home turf

footscray should continue their strong start to the season over gc17

i like the future tasmania over the soon to be former tasmania, without shiel and burgoyne

jokers should be too good at home for the aints

Its not often that teams with a 'control and possession' game plan play each other, when both are in form. 

WCE have excelled at that style for a while and the Pies seem to have ramped their version of it, up a few notches since the GF.  So the WCE vs Pies tactics will be fascinating. 

Those of us who play the more manic 'chaos' style might learn how to beat them.

I will watch with interest

That's how they look to me at a macro level.  Of course there will be variations in tactics at the micro level and for different opponents etc.

I recall Scott saying late last year that they would revisit their man-on-man style which they have (more 'controlled'), so yeah, will be interesting to watch.

 

Footnote:  I don't think anyone plays the pure man-on-man style any longer -(ie the Roos style at Sydney).  Longmire has adapted with the times.  Even Lyon is now moving away from it.

Adelaide are happy to take their shots from 55 metres which gives them a lot more space in which to play their forwards. It's almost the antithesis of our bombing to the hotspot.

So we're tipping the cats over there, then ?

I see your expecting the Crows to turn on themselves again...  cutting themselves in 2, once more ?   

 

for good times sake ?   ?

I think the winners this round will be, .... who am i kidding.

Coudnt possibly care less about other results, I only care about our team winning. Until then, it doesnt matter to me who wins or loses the other games. 

Win. Just win.

Adelaide are playing with the intensity that we should be!

Like us last week, the Crows dominating the early part of third for bugger all reward.

Would kill for Tim Kelly or Wayne Milera type to provide some zip and clean creative disposal. Exactly what we’re missing!

Geelong go into their 50 and kick it to some one.      How  original is that!!

Geelong are good, very good, but their defend defend defend and then counter attack style will come undone in September.

Agree, and they will need their kids to play well because the older players are getting slower and slower. Hopefully, they have peaked early!

There are no prizes for a dominant first half of season other than consolidating themselves in the top 4. But I agree, I reckon they are still vulnerable in September just like 2018.
