2005 Wizard Cup Prediction Thread

[Russian]

Collingwood by 27 - Competitive first half, extra experience wins it for the Pies
Fremantle by 11 - Their forward line looks better with Gardiner, Smith, McDougall and Matera missing
Doggies by 24 - O'Loughlin, Hall, Ball, Goodes, Schauble - that's pretty much the Swans' spine and they're all out. If it was a good team against them they'd get smashed
St Kilda by 32 - Talent
Melbourne by 43 - Too many injuries to the Brisbane midfield
Kangaroos by 1 - Dunno why
Essendon by 22 - They're just better
Port by 36 - Ditto

the Lions aren't at home lil man. It's in Cairns, approximately 3000km from Brisbane.

LMAO. It's about 1650 kms from the start of the Bruce Highway which at most is half an hour out of Brisbane, AT MOST!

Home ground isn't too much of an advantage but it's still longer from Melbourne To Carins!

I think St Kilda would be favourites but i wouldn't be surprised if a side like Geelong or Colingwood make the GF.

You'd hate for one of your best players to sustain an injury which keeps them out of the home and away season.

Collingwood vs. Richmond - Tigers by 15
Fremantle vs. West Coast - Fremantle by 20
Western Bulldogs vs. Sydney - Bulldogs by 25
Hathorn vs. St.Kilda - Saints by 30
Brisbane vs. Melbourne - Brisbane by 40
Kangaroos vs. Geelong - Kangaroos by 18
Adelaide vs. Port - Port by 60
Carlton vs. Essendon - Carlton by 5

keep dreaming the demons to beat the lions at home!

its not at home its 2700km from brisbane, the dees have been up there for a few days and are comfortable with the conditions

Please!

Do you really think the Dorkers midfield is better than the Eagles?

I have heard comments like this a lot lately and I am trying to find the logic behind it. The Dorkers have a few new players in the middle and all of a sudden they are considered a powerful unit. Are people forgetting that we had the best midfield in the competition before we added Stenglein and Mitchell Morton (who would have been a top 10 draft pick)?

I didn't say that. I meant that Fremantle's midfield will strengthen up their whole line up. Where did I say their midfield is better than the eagle's midfield???
