four. the saturday day game from melbourne too.

 

[Jim Dixon]

Pretty ordinary round. Channel 7 got some real dodgy games this week. Carlton vs Brisbane especially would have to be a festival of the putrid.

Edit - Freo vs Essendon could be a ripper if the Essendon that beat Hawthorn shows up, not the Essendon that nearly lost to St. Kilda.

Whats with the extra Saturday game ?

That's half the interest right there! Some serious Jekyll and Hyde s**t going on at the minute....

Non top 8 Melbourne vs runners up Sydney gets put on FTA, while two finalists Fremantle and Essendon get put on Foxtel. Yep, that makes sense.

Lol yet we always play on Mother's day

The dogs have had their fair share of Mother's Day games too. Would never see Collingwood play on this day

thats due to the rights agreement, part of getting a national live broadcast was seven wanted to show the game's live into their home states.
as such freo gets the FTA in freo. Vic and NSW get the Sydney game.

Vic will always get the vic games.

Melbourne vs Sydney might just be the closer game. I hope not

That's disgraceful in so many ways. Thanks for letting me know that, wasn't aware of it.

Highly doubt it, not sure why everyone think it's going to be such a one sided match.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Cats win
Saints win
GWS?
Ess?

Could be a round of upsets.

Loving now the draft sanctions have finished, we are back to having a good even season again
