Footy Tips

[tribey]

St. Kilda is $4.25 (at last check) to beat Brisbane at the Dome...

I'm very tempted as I had the same feeling when I tipped Sydney to beat the Lions at the SCG a couple of weeks back.

 

[DaveW]

I'm on 55 counting the draw as a loss.

Final tips for this week

KANGAROOS to beat Richmond (Originally went for Tigers but McCartney playing his 1st game since Bali I just think Roos on raw emotion.)
ADELAIDE to beat Hawthorn (We should win)
BRISBANE to beat St Kilda (Confident)
SYDNEY to beat Essendon (I favour the Swans)
PORT ADELAIDE to beat Fremantle (confident)
WEST COAST to beat Western Bulldogs (confident)
GEELONG to beat Carlton (50-50)
COLLINGWOOD to beat Melbourne (I favour pies slightly)

 

[Damp Squarie]

Im on 56 ( Overall Ranked 244)

ROUND 11...Im STILL goin' for


North Melbourne
ADELAIDE
BRISBANE
Essendon
PORT ADELAIDE
WEST COAST
Carlton
COLLINGWOOD

Pretty conservative eh.
I cannot see Sydney or Geelong winning despite wide fely optimism on this board.

Please explain...

But do you reckon I put it on?! Of course not.

Crackerjack Saturday night this is then... *reaches for the textbooks and fires up MS Word*

Straight forward isn't the same thing as easy. And I've improved to 3 from 6 today.

 

[DaveW]

Well I got 4/8...

Like I said on the main board, I got all the lopsided results correct. But the close ones all went against me. Four matches decided by less than a goal and I got them all wrong.

Snap!!!

 

[Stiffy_18]

I got 5. You guys should learn to never underetimate Roos in emotionally charged games especially when it was a comeback match for Jason McCartney.

 

[kirky]

This season is starting to **** me off. Only 4 excluding the draw (Richmond, Crows and Brisbane let me down but hey each lost by less than a kick).

This week appears to be slightly easier:-

Essendon over Roos (Dons need this win badly)
Richmond over Carlton (Blues are gone)
Port over St Kilda (should be match of the round - Port in top form)
Freo over Geelong (its in Perth)
Sydney over Bulldogs (Sydney - Bulldogs home game - now thats a blunder)
Brisbane over West Coast (Brisbane to be fired up - Coasters travelling to Brisbane - not good)
Adelaide over Melbourne (saw the Demons on the weekend and they are woeful - no forwards)
Collingwood over Hawks (Woods were impressive with Tarrant up forward)

8 winners - well here's hoping

 

[DaveW]

I agree with kirky's tips.

Although the Bulldogs could be finally due this week. But I think the Swans midfield will probably keep them in check, and I just can't tip against Sydney in Sydney at the moment.

Hell, we're all in trouble because I agree with kirky's tips too !!

To quote Dave last week , they look easy!!! Hope that doesn't mean a lousy 4 without the draw again.

My final tips for this week

ESSENDON to beat Kangaroos (50-50)
PORT ADELAIDE to trash St. Kilda (Very confident)
RICHMOND to beat Carlton (60-40)
SYDNEY to beat Bulldogs (can't pick doggies this week after a trip to Subiaco)
FREMANTLE to beat Geelong (confident)
BRISBANE to beat West Coast (50-50 went with brisbane at home and WC have a long trip this week. Lot of injuries for Lions)
COLLINGWOOD to beat Hawthorn (confident)
ADELAIDE to beat Melbourne (head says Melbourne, heart says Crows, since I am softy this week, I am going with my heart )

 

[macca23]

Similar to Stiffy's:

ESSENDON to beat Kangaroos (60-40)
PORT ADELAIDE to beat St. Kilda (genuine danger game for Port. A Saints win would not surprise)
RICHMOND to beat Carlton (50-50, no Kane Johnson, no Gaspar)
SYDNEY to beat Bulldogs (confident - Subiaco factor)
FREMANTLE to beat Geelong (confident)
BRISBANE to beat West Coast (confident)
COLLINGWOOD to beat Hawthorn (confident)
ADELAIDE to beat Melbourne (hopeful )

Agreed.

Another one of those "obvious" rounds.

Good luck everyone!

 

[sapaul]

Same as most...

Essendon over North in the toughest game to pick...

Got a feeling 1 of Sunday's matches will be an upset though, just hope it's not Melbourne over Adelaide...

 

[Damp Squarie]

KANGAROOS
PORT ADELAIDE
RICHMOND
SYDNEY
FREMANTLE
BRISBANE
COLLINGWOOD
ADELAIDE

RUNNING TALLY = 63
