Demonstone 23,549 Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 It's odd that after this round (barring a draw), one of Geelong and Brisbane will be winless and one of Adelaide and Sydney will be undefeated. Early days, of course. 1 Quote
Lucifers Hero 40,715 Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) A fascinating round for 3 of last year's finalists and who will make it this year.. Pies, Cats and LIons are 0-1. Cats play Lions this week so one of them will go 0-2.. Pies play Carlton and if they lose they will also go 0-2. If Carlton loose and go 0-2 it snuffs out their chances of finals. In the last 10 years 58 teams have started 0-2 but only 5 have gone on to play finals. And in the history of the game only 2 poor starters (0-2) have subsequently won a premiership. So two of Pies, Cats, Lions and Blues will each have less than 10% chance of making finals. Even if Pies win and go 1-1, imv they have little chance of making finals. On my reckoning that is two final 8 spots for the taking! Now, let's beat the Saints, Dees. Edited March 25, 2021 by Lucifer's Hero 4 Quote
Diamond_Jim 12,772 Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 Prefer a draw tonight but if not probably a Pies win Could not stand a Carlton bandwagon Bulldogs and Eagles could be interesting... in a non covid world I would probably have gone along... nice 32k crowd at Docklands Quote

Sir Why You Little 37,450 Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 May Carlton & Collingwood inflict vicious injuries upon each other That is all that counts. The result is evil and disgusting whichever way it falls 2 1 Quote
DubDee 26,669 Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 Carlton should win tonight, Williams and Martin come in and make them a lot better. O Mac with 3 off the bench this time Bears to beat the Cats Crows to beat Sydney - all 16 'experts' have tipped Sydney but I reckon the Crows are up an about Port - 100pt win Gold Coast 70 pt win Tigers by plently Dogs in a close one Giants in another close on Quote
BDA 23,048 Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 Carlton Geelong home advantage enough No idea between Sydney and the Crows Port easily Gold Coast without too much fuss Tigers by plenty Doggies too strong for the Eagles GWS will out-muscle an under-manned Freo Quote

The result is evil and disgusting whichever way it falls Be positive - one of those clubs will finish the game deeply miserable, while the other will be given false hope and fail to address their deficiencies. Personally, I think Carlton do false hope and failure to address deficiencies much more enthusiastically than Collingwood. Plus, Collingwood are back on their long slow slide while Carlton really could be a menace in finals over the next few years... if... they stay humble enough to work on their problems instead of getting to finals and then sacking their coach because some other 'star' coach insisted he could take the (actually quite deficient) list to a premiership. So; misery for Collingwood and complacency for Carlton is definitely the best result. 3 1 Quote

Mazer Rackham 14,971 Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 C'wood to win in an ugly brawl to knock the smile off Carlton, and so Buckley can stay as coach for that little bit longer. (Hopefully a lot longer.) Quote
