Taylor Adams tests positive.

With De Goey suspended the Eagles might beat the Pies this weekend.

An interesting insight:  McRae also revealed that only five of his players have yet to contract the virus.

Sadly ... no hope.

Tips from AFL folk:

Port Adelaide 2-10 Melbourne
Geelong 6-6 Brisbane
Sydney 12-0 North Melbourne
Collingwood 12-0 West Coast
Richmond 0-12 Western Bulldogs
Fremantle 9-3 Greater Western Sydney
Essendon 12-0 Adelaide
Hawthorn 4-8 St Kilda
Gold Coast 0-12 Carlton

Surprised at the lack of confidence in Richmond, Adelaide and to some extent GWS, and Hawks.

The result I wish for the most is for Lions to beat the little cats on their own turf.

GWS beat Freo by 10 goals if they play anywhere near their best

Tipsters always play it safe. Generally base their tips on how a team performed the previous round.

GCS nearly knocked us off.

Carlton aren't a certainty by any means.

Like LH I think Hawks v Saints is close to 50/50.

From an MFC viewpoint a Brisbane win over Geelong is the conservative approach but hell I like being atop the ladder so Geelong to win !!

Somehow we need the crows to beat essendon, because that would give me a laugh. The fans would go nuts. Walker back helps. 

Interesting Geelong are resting Selwood tomorrow night against Brisbane. I would have thought you are coming up against a pretty good midfield and would need your best. 

I know I put it in another thread but why do we have to travel again when some of these teams don't have there first interstate game until round 9 or longer?

Selwood is now a way from being their best.  They got him to the record # of games as an AFL captain last week so now he gets a rest.  He is their spiritual leader but not sure they will miss him.  Its been a while since he has put in a really good game, let alone a match winning one.

Scott learnt his lesson last year that his old team will run out of legs.  He is in preservation mode for finals.

Agreed.  I am tipping Giants, Freo are up and down.  Tigers absolutely have a good chance

and with Carlton limping over the line against the Hawks, GC have a good chance at home

3 interstate games out of the first 5.

What did we do wrong

[Demonstone 22,522]

Anyone.  Anywhere.  Any time.

[roy11 3,853]

If you add up the AFL and The Age Tipsters only 1 of 22 are backing Gold Coast.

Surprised me a little given how they played at home against us.

speaking for your membership and sponsors not to mention post premiership merchandising I'm not sure Mr Pert would agree

Geelong but is Brisbane are serious they should win 

If Sydney don’t win by over 10 goals I’m calling it a loss 

West Coast are rooted. Pies by plenty. 

Dogs but it’s a 50/50 at the G

Who knows. Two teams you never put money on  

Bombers finally 

Saints? Could go either way but MCG helps Hawks  

I hope GC! Time for Carlton to lose

Lions will crush the Cats, too much run and talent

man I want the Cats to slide right off a cliff

[Demonland 72,192]

Bumping for tonight. Isn’t it nice being able to enjoy the whole weekend of footy basking in a Thursday night victory. 

Also do we want to the Cats to win t to claim top spot or Lions to win just so Geelong lose?

Have I missed something? Next week's game is at the G right? We've only travelled twice to date.

I don't know if you've looked at our fixture for the end of the year, but our last 8 games include trips to Adelaide, Geelong, Alice Springs, Optus Stadium in Perth and the Gabba. 

It will be a fair test.

Was that another one of the games we didn't get out of first gear ? 🙂

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

People have laughed at us for years, came across this and found it amusing. Would love the Crows to beat Essendon  just to see the next instalment.

No boots, no need for them. Their self-inflicting tendencies are adequate…………………….for now.
