Carlton V Richmond

Carlton are genuinely hopeless with the exception of Jagga Smith they have no hope for the future. Another second half fade out which has dogged Voss, surely he can't survive the year.

Richmond are going places slowly but they are going places with guns like Lalor and Grilj if it wasn't for Lynch's inaccuracy they would have won. Great second half comeback. They really did dominate the last half.

Carlton are playing an old ‘contested ball’ game style that will see them lose more than they win. Richmond were Ok, but Lynch sucks the big ones.

Essendon V Hawthorn

Essendon are a joke as simple as that, led by the coach who led North to the bottom, rejects never work.

They paid a cool mil for McKay who is arguably the worst full back in the comp.

In the middle they have spuds like Caldwell and Parish.

Up forward they have a wuss in Wright who had 1 good year and has been terrible since and Perkins who has played over 100 games with 99 of those games being woeful.

How Farrow can't get a game defies logic? I blame it on the coach Scott is semi brain dead.

No wonder Merrett wants to leave they make Carlton look like a good side. Essendon are bad enough that they could win the spoon.

Hawthorn were good but they had no opposition there run gets harder in the next 3 to 4 weeks let's see where they are then?

@WERRIDEE @Demonland if you're actually doing this weekly can we just merge it into one thread?

I think they are similar to us in a lot of ways. Especially us in the last year or so. Trying to develop a different plan but struggling because all the old soldiers keep reverting to what they know.

Noooo

Collingwood V Adelaide

Collingwood had a crack and played pretty well for a club that got belted out of the middle and were missing Howe and Moore.

Adelaide just outclassed them with their midfield and key forwards.

I'm just not doing reviews I'm doing previews as well.

Melbourne V St.Kilda

What a win by Melbourne! Massive underdogs not expected to do well since we lost Petracca and Oliver. St.Kilda the up and comers and we beat them.

Gawn is not only the best ruckman ever he is also the best Melbourne player ever, forget Barrassi, Flower, Trac and Clarry Gawn is a GOD.

van Rooyen was brilliant we want more of that during the year and Mihocek was a great foil.

St.Kilda are now under the pump especially Ross Lyon they are trying but seem to be going nowhere the next month will sort them out.

Geelong V Fremantle

Geelong never follow the script by falling apart due to their age. The are a lot better team with Cameron and Dangerfield in the side. Like Collingwood they aren't top 4 material but they will be fighting it out for the top 10.

Fremantle are soft. Serong has a go and Jackson is a gun but after that they are ordinary and their bottom 5 players are a real worry, Longmuir is under the pump.

Sydney V Brisbane

Sydney are on fire ATM but it could be shortly lived with Gulden out for four months and Heeney possibly out. Big game for them against the Hawks.

Brisbane have been ravaged by injury and suspensions but you can't count out a 2 time premiership team. They will find their mojo maybe not in the next couple of weeks but they will find it.

North.Melbourne V Port.Adelaide

North look like a different team when Davies-Uniacke is on fire. They looked good but can they do it consistantly? They have a lot to prove, not sold on them yet.

Butters has one foot out the door after that performance. Port are ordinary, they are up to Carlton in the ordinary stakes. They will have a long year.

Gold Coast V West Coast

Gold Coast are playing a strong brand of football that will be hard to beat but they will be a little concerned with not making those big wins against Geelong and West Coast massive wins.

West Coast are the only club that could take the spoon out of Essendon's hands they are pathetic.

Preview V Fremantle

Big test to knock over Fremantle over there but we can do it, Fremantle's bottom 5 are ordinary in Wagner, McDonald, Worner, Darcy and Johnson. Roo and Checkers should have a field day like they did last week. Hopefully Kossie can have a blinder like he did last time they played. Petty was a good choice as second ruck Mr. Dependable. Tholstrup should tag Serong.

I'm predicting Melbourne to win by a goal.

Team

B: Lever, Petty, Salem

HB: Jiath, Turner, Lindsay

C: Langford, Steele, Culley

HF: Chandler, van Rooyen, K.Pickett

F: Fritsch, Mihocek, L.Pickett

FOLL: Gawn, Rivers, Windsor

IC: Langdon, Sparrow, Tholstrup, Howes, Sharp

EMERG: Laurie, McDonald, Heath

VFL Preview V Footscray

No tougher task than taking on the reigning premiers. The big names that they have in the side are Treloar, Dolan, McNeil, Jones, Cleary, Gardiner and ex demon Billings.

We have a reasonably strong side having beaten St.Kilda by 100 points, a lot of the Melbourne players played well with Melksham being particually impressive with 4 first half goals.

I'm going to this game. Laurie will probably only play a half. 12 Melbourne listed players are in the side.

Team

B: Moniz-Wakefield, Adams, W.Lual

HB: Taylor, Berry, Mentha

C: Bonner, Onley, Stanley

HF: Matthews, Bowden, Henderson

F: Cross, Melksham, Craven

FOLL: Heath, D'Angelo, Laurie

IC: Sruk, L.Lual, Pipicelli, Sinnema

23rd Man : Cheffers

EMERG: Gatt, Scapin, Laplanche

Western V GWS

Western are the form team of the competiton, even in front of Gold Coast who are flying. If they can beat the Crows they are the real deal.

GWS played the way I thought they would last week which was terrible, but they got over the line against Hawthorn. This is the real GWS really hard to be competitive with half your side out. Oliver is cooked too one paced, turns the ball over and plays 1 game out of every 8 these days, thank god we got rid of him.
