Cheer up guys, bipolarbeaR thinks you'll get up

In all seriousness though if Johnson/Harry will shut Smith it could get very ugly. You desperately need Petrie and HMac back to be competitive.

Um, who? Shaun Smith left us at the end of 92.

North vs Collingwood - BYO lube. The way we coughed the ball up under little pressure against the eagles I wouldn't be surprised with a triple digit defeat unless there is a radical change in performance next week.

Forget the lubricants! Collingwoods damage to us next week either way is gonna make Kim Duthie wet.
I just hope we pull a Melbouurne performance out against the Pies next week.

lol at these comments.

[Pal22]

St Kilda vs Richmond - Saints should hit back hard, hopefully they can more then 6 goals this week - Saints by 35pts

Nth Melb vs Collingwood - Pies look unstopable and with Roos coming off a 6 day break and playing in extreme heat, Pies in a canter - Pies by 55pts

Port Adel vs West Coast - For a team who lost by 12 goals Power didn't play that bad while Eagles always struggle on the road, Power in a close one - Power by 7pts

Gold Coast vs Carlton - Really is the unknown but surely Blues won't lose to the AFL newbies - Blues by 26pts

Fremantle vs Geelong - Will go down to the wire, but always pick my team - Cats by 10pts

W.Bulldogs vs Brisbane - Dogs will be counting their blessings that they get the Lions this week - Dogs by 60pts

Sydney vs Essendon - toss of coin but tipping Swans purely becuase of home ground advantage - Swans by 5pts

Hawthorn vs Melbourne - Hawks blew a good opportunity this week, but can't see it happening two weeks in a row - Hawks by 14pts

St Kilda vs Richmond @ MCG- 42,000

[TheGhostOfJohnBelushi]

Really, people think Freo are going to beat Geelong???

Expectation starts at home. Fremantle should beat Geelong at home. This shouldn't surprise you.

 

[Quixote]

Whoever gave KissStephanie a red card is a freaking legend.

 

[NQTIGER]

did you just do all of that?
quarter by quarter?
why?

Its part of his Multi Bet, paying 10000000000000000000 to 1

 

[Bloods Rule!]

C'mon Big Footy, you've let me down. I just came in to see if anyone had picked the Swans against the all-conquering Bombers and find that, surprisingly, most have picked us.

How does that work when we gave up the game against the Dees yesterday?

 

[Wizard]

Expectation starts at home. Fremantle should beat Geelong at home. This shouldn't surprise you.

We played like a bunch of old moles on the weekend and really are still a few weeks away from getting much back.
Silvagni i assume will come back, DeBoer also maybe but thats about it at the moment.

 

[winty]

St.Kilda vs Richmond - St.Kilda will break the shackles this week and rack up 12 goals and win by 5.
North Melbourne vs Collingwood - Collingwood easily. The margin will nudge the 100 point barrier.
Port Adelaide vs West Coast - Port's home ground advantage should get them over the line by 5 goals.
Gold Coast vs Carlton - Gold Coast to be competitive early, but once the emotion wears off, Carlton will run away and win by 8-10 goals.
Fremantle vs Geelong - Chris Scott's inner knowledge of Freo, combined with the fact it'll be Chapman's 200th game will see Geelong scrape through with a 2 goal win in the match of the round.
Bulldogs vs Brisbane - No J.Brown negates the fact the Bulldogs are missing Lake, and the Dogs will be keen to make amends for their poor showing in the opening round. Dogs by 10 goals plus
Sydney vs Essendon - Sydney to burst the Don's bubble with a 4 goal win.
Hawthorn vs Melbourne - Buddy and Jurrah to have a shootout, with Buddy and the Hawks getting up by 15 points in a free flowing affair.

 

[Rudi Gilham]

Good to see people aren't grossly overestimating the crowds this week.

 

[Bosk]

St.Kilda v Richmond - 40 pts
Kangaroos v Collingwood - 100+ pts
Port Adelaide v West Coast - 30 pts
Gold Coast v Carlton - 25 pts
Fremantle v Geelong - 15 pts
Western Bulldogs v Brisbane - 60 pts
Sydney v Essendon - 5 pts
Hawthorn v Melbourne - 25 pts

 

[HyperAgressiveDonk]

Kangaroos v Collingwood - 100+ pts

It won't be over 100

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

St.Kilda v Richmond - 32 pts
Kangaroos v Collingwood - 86 pts
Port Adelaide v West Coast - 14 pts
Gold Coast v Carlton - 95 pts
Fremantle v Geelong - 23 pts
Western Bulldogs v Brisbane - 5 pts
Sydney v Essendon - 48 pts
Hawthorn v Melbourne - 19 pts

 

[Magpie_Magic]

St.Kilda v Richmond - 25 points

Saints are stronger. Tigers might give it a run but will go 0-2 here. Jack Riewoldt will keep them in it, like it does every week.

Kangaroos v Collingwood - 37 points

I actually expect this to be a pretty good game with us pulling away late. The Kangas will be fired up for this.

Port Adelaide v West Coast - 11 points

Eagles are a good show here on the road. Power have also lost Schulz to injury which hurts their goal kicking power.

Gold Coast v Carlton - 40 pts

Blues easily. GC will be up and about and might give a scare but won't have the legs against the Blues.

Fremantle v Geelong - 10 pts

Dockers at home.

Western Bulldogs v Brisbane - 85 pts

The Dogs will be rocketed this week. They will pump a Brown-less Brisbane. It will get ugly unfortunately.
Sydney v Essendon - 5 pts

Gonna be a ripper game, I hope. Tipping Sydney on travel factor.

Hawthorn v Melbourne - 6 pts

Going Melbourne. I think they'll win. Maloney is a superstar. Their better in the middle and down back. Have enough goal kicking power to trouble the weakest defense in the AFL.
