Not sure how often this happens, where two teams play two other teams, at the same venues back to back, but I'd think it's rare.

I think it's interesting to see what people think may happen, if we look at these two rounds in isolation.

The odds are heavily weighted in favor of Collingwood & Essendon emerging undefeated, but if you think this will happen, which team will have the higher percentage? (Only from these two games)

Collingwood has kicked over 100 points 3 times this season. Essendon have done it 4 times, but the last time was in a loss to Geelong in round 7.

Also, are they even that likely to be undefeated?

Both Essendon & Collingwood lost the last time they played against West Coast, and Collingwood lost to them in Melbourne.

Collingwood only just managed to get over North Melbourne, the last time they played, by 7 points, and while Essendon gave North Melbourne a belting last time they played, North looked competitive last week against the swans, have some fierce young players like Wardlaw wanting to prove themselves, and may encounter a tired Bombers outfit after a trip to Perth.

Fill out the poll with your predictions, multiple votes allowed. Obviously, try not to pick options which contradict each other.

If you don't find this thread interesting, then you don't have to engage in it.

Going to take a wild stab in the dark.

Tipping Collingwood to beat North and then West Coast.

Eagles undefeated.

We have the comp right where we want them, lulled into a false sense of security.

Big call. Gutsy call. Reputation on the line call.

This thread is wild

 

[hawkman]

Genuinely surprised Collingwood have only scored over 100 once since round 2

Revising my forecast down to them beating North only by 60 and WC only by 150

Feels like voting below the line for the Senate at elections with this thread poll

The more pertinent question is whether Simpson loses his job after the Ess game or the Pies game.

He won't lose his job, he will be promoted to not Coach of West Coast

It’ll be on the cards for sure.

And I look forward to Saturday night at the ground when there will be 20,000 Essendon fans left at the final siren with all the weagle fans trundling home already on the train.

A slaughterhouse is imminent.

Kill ‘em all.

They have pulverised us nearly every time for well over a decade here in Perf.

Vengeance is near

We're 3-5 since in Perth over the past 10 years. It's not that horrible.

Yeah well every time I’ve been at the ground (subi -Optus) to a WC vs Dons since 2005..all I’ve ever experienced is defeat.

So maybe my memory is jaded..

Broadcasts should have a warning for the kiddies. Will be ugly.

Never underestimate Essendon getting ahead of themselves. A few good ins for the Weagles and if we don’t have the right frame of mind going in we could get rolled
