Who are you tipping this week?

Juicy $1.01 odds on Brisbane. 

Not sure if mentioned elsewhere, bit this week will see Zach Tuohy break Jim Stynes's record for most games by an Irish player (265th game).

Tigers to bounce back

4 and 20s to continue on their way

Lions

Giants 

Dees Please

Port

Cats

Ess 

Freo 

After being pretty bitterly disappointed by almost everything football related last week...

Starting with the death ride games; not much to gain. Obvious Carlton v Freo is a big deal as it is both a game Freo would be expecting to win and it would directly lift Carlton over them thanks to the Blue's bizarre percentage.

Freo lose that, then one of Richmond or Sydney will step ahead of them. I'd prefer Richmond to get the win just because I think the Swans will keep clawing up the ladder enough to pass Freo later, while Richmond need every win they can get.

bunch of other games just keep teams ahead of Freo, rather than pulling in front of them.

 

And for our security in the top 4.

Collingwood over Dogs, and Demons over Saints, would put us a game and a big chunk of percentage ahead of our two main pursuers.

One of Essendon or the Crows will go to 9 wins, Essendon is probably better for us because the Crows have much higher percentage and Essendon will presumably choke late in the season.

Also, if West Coast decide to go the biff and get a bunch of players from both sides suspended that would be the only unpredictable or useful outcome of the Brisbane - West Coast game. I mean, legend has it that back before the Eagles unilaterally relegated themselves, there was a bit of a Eagles-Lions rivalry.

A 16 point weekend for us (2x 8 point games)

A Demon loss and a Dogs win is unthinkable (MFCSS)

Are tigs fans booing Franklin?

That's the way of the walk.

Everytime I see Sydney play, I wonder if Heeney is actually having a just above average career. He's been played forward but only kicked 200 goals from 160 games.

I dunno. Considering the hype and talent, always expected him to be better than he has been

What's your name, what's your number.

Lol, team selection much more interesting than tonight’s game it seems. Not a bad game though 

We can include cricket talk in this right...?

*half joking*

 

Have Richmond sold the goalpost padding to a sponsor? Is this common?

Cant remember seeing it.

couldn't agree more

thought a few years back he was going to be out and out superstar

instead he's a serviceable roleplayer

Yes. Not great. 

3/61 at the Cricket.

Tonights game is not a bad one either.

Nope... feel like the press and build up over there has unfortunately starting to take a minor toll.

Need to remain composed here.

Can’t wait for Franklin to leave the game. Just turned the game on 10 minutes ago and he’s gotten away with a blatant throw then appeals for deliberate out of bounds and gets it when there’s was nothing in it. 
Really hoping Tigers win.

I reckon they made a great calling choosing to bowl. Put the pressure on us, and it worked.

Head is sacrosanct, until it's not 

Tigers loading hard. Terrible goal kicking.

There is nobody I enjoy watching play footy more in a non Melbourne jumper than Bolton
