Footy Tips

You probably missed when the rain came down then. After that, even though it was evenly contested Hawthorn just had too much of a lead for Freo to ever catch up.

The WCE-North came on the other hand was sensational. Both teams so desperate at the footy in the muddy conditions and it was great to see both sides just pumping the ball long when they got it. And that last quarter was nail biting stuff, North certainly had their opportunities to snatch it.

Tend to agree with you Dave. The Hawks - Freo game was very ordinary IMO. On the other hand I watched the Eagles- Kangaroos game on Fox and it was an absolute ripper as you described.

6 for me too.

Have to agree Dave, the West Coast Kangaroos game was the game of the round. Absolute FOOTY!

Almost made the wait for the Crows replay bearable.

Almost.

Got 8/8 this week. Was confident picking the Dees as I thought they would rebound after their last 2 pathetic weeks. Still going ordinary in my tipping for the year though ... but things are picking up.

 

[Damp Squarie]

Only got 6 this week

Early tips for Round 14 are...

Essendon
Hawthorn
Fremantle - me roughy
Collingwood
Adelaide
Sydney
Melbourne
Port

 

[Stiffy_18]

My early picks for this week are:

ESSENDON to beat St. Kilda (not very sure about this 50-50 )
HAWTHORN to beat Western Bulldogs (50-50, hard one to pick Doggies are due for a win sooner rather than later.)
BRISBANE to beat Fremantle (50-50)
COLLINGWOOD to beat Kangaroos (confident because of the Subi factor)
ADELAIDE to beat Richmond (confident)
SYDNEY to beat West Coast (Cannot tip against Swans in Sydney)
MELBOURNE to beat Carlton (50-50)
PORT ADELAIDE to beat Geelong (confident)

This is a hard round to pick

 

[macca23]

As young Stiffmeister said, this is a really tough round to call.

Early tips are:

ESSENDON to beat St. Kilda (50-50 )
HAWTHORN to beat Western Bulldogs (reasonably confident)
BRISBANE to beat Fremantle (50-50)
COLLINGWOOD to beat Kangaroos (50-50 even with the Subiaco factor)
ADELAIDE to beat Richmond (confident)
SYDNEY to beat West Coast (50-50)
MELBOURNE to beat Carlton (50-50)
PORT ADELAIDE to beat Geelong (confident)

 

[beckybiglands]

i'm new to the world of big footy, but i got 6...
silly me going for the saints and freo

 

[napsyd]

My early tips are:

ESSENDON to beat St. Kilda (50-50)
HAWTHORN to beat Western Bulldogs (reasonably confident)
FREMANTLE to beat Brisbane (50-50 Home team, probably no Lynch)
KANGAROOS to beat Collingwood (If one team could beat the Subi factor its the Kangas. Coming off a six day break after a very taxing game though)
ADELAIDE to beat Richmond (confident)
SYDNEY to beat West Coast (50-50 Home team)
MELBOURNE to beat Carlton (50-50)
PORT ADELAIDE to beat Geelong (confident)

Tough round.

 

[napsyd]

Am sticking to my tips above.

Have a feeling about the Kangas, mixed with a good portion of hatred for Collingwood. It defies logic but...

 

[beckybiglands]

Eseendon
Hawthorn
Freo
Kangas
Adelaide
Sydney
Melbourne
Port

Sticking with these but very nervous!!.

 

[Steve76]

carlton

No one picks Carlton becuase they have only beaten the Dogs this year at Optus and haven't won before that ther for awhile. Demons have too much quality compared to the Blues, if they choose to play - carlton don't have this luxury. I actually think the Dees will win very easily

Looks like we're all sitting 4 from 5 at this stage, with some of us missing Freo and others missing the Pies.

 

[sapaul]

I forgot to post mine this week.

2/5 at the minute...only Adelaide and fremantle correct.

 

[DaveW]

I'm on 3/5.

I thought the Doggies were due!

And I also missed on Brisbane. But I was quite happy with the Freo victory. We're only half a win behind the Lions now.

 

[sapaul]

Sydney, Carlton and Pricks tomorrow.

And if Sydney win, only a half win behind West Coast and second spot. But it would be very packed and tight behind us.

Same - and although I chopped and changed about 4 times this week I'm sitting at 5/5...

Fingers crossed for tomorrow...

West Coast
Melbourne
Port

Bugger Brisbane. You should have gone with your initial pick.

 

[LionHeart20]

You guys should've went for Freo at Subi.
I've got 5/8 so far.

 

[kirky]

Well, for mine, I've lost the plot with 3 of 5. Why on earth I went for the Saints God only knows. Freo vs Brisbane was a 50/50 game, much like Swans vs Coasters and Blues vs Dees today.
