Good analysis, TiborMost of them are based on data I have analysed but i'll give some thoughts on a couple.
GWS/Rich is likely to go over I think because of what happened last time. Reiwoldt single handedly destroyed them. GWS are better these days granted, which is why I think they will score more than 41, but Richmond and reiwoldt will still run rampant. If GWS score say 60-70 (which is reasonable given their forward line of boyd and patton + goal kicking mids) then Richmond only need 120-130. Tigers are up and about at the moment, home crowd behind them, definitely capable of hitting that target.
Melb/Bris. Both teams have been tracking well below this tml for the past few rounds. Besides last week against the suns, lions don't score over 100. They just don't have the firepower up forward or the mid field strength to get it there. Last week was an anomaly because the suns sans ablett are a neafl team. Combine this with melbournes defensive mindset, and the fact they couldn't score more than 50 points against witches hats. Ok ill give them some credit, let's say 70 max. This means Brisbane need more than 95 to cover the TML over. Ain't happening. Plus it's melbourne in the winter, it'll probably rain.
Freo/Carl. Ok so the dockers got beaten by the rabble that is st kilda. Nay, they were flogged. Ross Lyon doesn't take that kind of s**t. The players will be shitting themselves in anticipation of doing their papa proud this week. In front of a subi crowd Carlton will be locked down. Waite and henderson will be useless. Their mids will be outclassed. Freos wall defence will hold strong. Carlton just won't be able to dent the scoreboard. Give them say a couple goals per quarter, 50-60 points for the game. Freo dont usdually score higher than 100-110. Only concern here for me is that Carlton totally implode and Freo cross the tml on their own lol
