Round 5 Tips and Crowd Expectations

[JackFlash]

Why are people picking Brisbane have you seen us play lately?

Because the Gold Coast are worse...

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Brisbane vs GC could be the toughest tip of the season.

 

[B4Bear]

North Melbourne vs Hawthorn 88 points (31,000)

I see what you are trying to do there, and it won't work, the AFL gods like people to be subtle; not troll them.

North by 18 points.

North by 18 points.

I'm not trying to do anything. My tipping is legit.

 

[The Darkman]

Carlton vs Collingwood 58 points, 89k (Big match. Collingwood will want it to be memorable for MM)

Richmond vs Geelong 10 points, 65k (Richmond to cause an upset. Should be more people than vs Melbourne)

Sydney vs Western Bulldogs 18 points, 34k (Sydney need support after the long trip back from Perth)

Gold Coast vs Brisbane 18 points, 23k (plenty of Brisbane support on the coast)

North Melbourne vs Hawthorn 17 points, 44k (Hawthorn's Victorian fans haven't seen their team for 3 weeks)

West Coast vs Greater Western Sydney 3 points, 32k (Fans think it will be another easy kill but will get a fright)

Melbourne vs Fremantle 30 points, 25k (Melbourne have had their big match for the month. Freo not really a drawcard)

St Kilda vs Essendon 18 points, 35k (Saints won the corresponding match last year but are not at the same standard. Bombers will want to regain lost ground)

Adelaide vs Port Adelaide 18 points, 55k+ (Port are primed and Adelaide got owned by the Dogs last week. Full house easily with Port supporters cheering from the visitor's seats)

 

[00Stinger]

Carlton v Collingwood - 29 67,891
Richmond v Geelong - 12 51,776
Swans v W Bulldogs - 39 31,129
G Coast v Brisbane Lions - 3 19,871
North Melb v Hawthorn - 44 34,673
WC Eagles v GWS Giants - 6 39,651
Melbourne v Dockers - 3 31,098
Saints v Essendon - 56 36,567
Adelaide v Port Adelaide - 21 42,872

 

[LeoMessi]

Damn, seems like we're back to being favourites again

 

[SterlingArcher]

love how everyones tipping Essendon rofl

St Kilda are a massive chance if we play anywhere near what we did on Anzac day

There has to come a time when Essendon finally play to their ability against a s**t team. Saints have been the 'Aints 2/4 games this year, and were only ok against GWS. Aside from an extraordinarily exciting win v GC that gives hope for the future, Essendon have far better form

 

[Roo Lives Again]

Carlton v Collingwood - 45pts 75k
Richmond v Geelong - 40 pts 50k
Swans v W Bulldogs - 62pts 27k
G Coast v Brisbane Lions - 6pts 11k
North Melb v Hawthorn - 55pts 27k
WC Eagles v GWS Giants - 22pts 35k
Melbourne v Dockers - 43pts 40k
Saints v Essendon - 37pts 30k
Adelaide v Port Adelaide 15pts 1.3million

An Adelaide supporter picked Port to win by 107 points, a Port supporter picked the Crows to win by 12 points...thank god you came up with a sensible, believable post.

 

[Roo Lives Again]

Not rocket science to suggest that Geelong are along way past the side that that once owned the competition but there is no way known they are losing to Richmond by 10 goals ! In fact there is no way known they are losing to Richmond full stop.

A weeks a long time in footy. I think Richmond will win.

I'm still trying to work out how they will fit the entire population of Adelaide into the ground, it will be a tight squeeze, but i reckon they'll get everyone in....

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Because the Gold Coast are worse...

Are they though? They're both equally s**t in my eyes.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

They should limit entry to one person per family, although they might only get a crowd of 50 then.

Oh hang on, I'm from rAdelaide!

 

[JackFlash]

It depends on what colour turd you like.....

 

[Quinz]

If GWS want to play finals this year then they really should be beating West Coast this weekend. Their mids s**t all over ours and they should take advantage of our depleted back line with their power forwards.

Had a chat to Stephen Coniglio today.

He said they don't want to play finals, so we should be sweet!

 

[Canada]

Did you see Saints against Pies and Blues? So bad. If Roo and Joey miss again they have Geary as their leader and basically no talls worth anything and so little inside mid action. Bombers by 12-15 goals.

Maybe your right about the injuries and we may be able to beat you over there but talking finals is way too premature. Our wins have all come against lower ranked sides so far, so our ladder position flatters us.

 

[Changaneen]

Carlton Vs Collingwood 84pts 96K

Richmond Vs Geelong 48pts 83K

Sydney Vs Western Bulldogs 3pts 13K

Gold Coast Vs Brisbane 16pts 25K

North Melbourne Vs Hawthorn 88pts 51K

West Coast Vs GWS 77pts 18K

Melbourne Vs Fremantle 4pts 90K

St Kilda Vs Essendon 1pt 52K

Adelaide Vs Port Adelaide 92pts 24K

Pass the crack pipe.

 

[Collingwoodity]

If Hawthorn are fair dinkum they should roll us.

Odd comment.

I think winning the last two flags demonstrates that they are fair dinkum.

 

[Rod Stroker]

What I mean is that if that are switched on (unlike their first half last week) then they'll roll us. As you say, they are back to back premiers.

42,000 at a showdown?

Taking the piss?

 

[WWSD]

We weren't even switched on the last time we played North Melbourne.

This time we will be without Lake, Frawley, Spangher, Hale and Puopolo. That's a fair chunk of experience down back missing and with North going fairly tall up forward the task is too great for us this week.

Is puopolo a definite out?

 

[WWSD]

Is puopolo a definite out?

Yes. He's set to miss this game.

 

[Shinboner '07]

Yes. He's set to miss this game.

He got named. Maybe a late change
