Round 3 tips

[Lsta062]

anyone think in week 3 gold coast are gonna do their best Melbourne week 2 impression?

Probably not lol, but it could.

Anyone think Adelaide in week 3 will do their best Melbourne week 2 impression?

Gold Coast will be quite confident against us. Only good game Ablett played last year was vs North too. He always destroys us.
That and the game against the Dogs seem to be the big danger games.

Was that pre Jacobs resurrection? Seem to recall it might have been... will be interesting to see how that goes this time.

If things went their way the Gold Coast could easily be top of the table after Round 3.

probably more likely

North Melbourne can seriously go 10-2

vs Melbourne - win
vs Fremantle - win
vs Gold Coast (Metricon) - loss
vs Bulldogs - win
vs St Kilda - win
vs Essendon - win
vs Carlton - win
vs Sydney (SCG) - loss
vs Richmond - win
vs Geelong - win

Shhhh the lids not off yet

If they achieve that it certainly changes the dynamic for North who have made prelim final week last 2 years via an ardous route.

Would put them squarely in the frame of making the GF

I wouldn't be so sure of that. Yes the Dogs are great at home, but remember it is our home ground too. And we have a pretty good record against all comers there. Not that I can actually find what our record is there.

A couple seasons back our record at etihad was the talk of the town as well.
Very similar to how well the Dogs play there at the moment.

That's what you get for insisting on a plan B. Sometimes Plan A is Plan A for a reason. And plan B is, well, what you do when the shit hits the fan...

 

[WCE Wizard]

That will give anyone nightmares they are a force. The Hawks, West Coast, Adelaide, North, Bulldogs, Sydney, Geelong so many good teams with potent attacks. Hawks still a class above.

This gives me nightmares

Please dont compare us to Melbourne.

 

[demondavey]

C'mon mate Melbourne are even more useless than Brisbane.

Mate, you've got to have hope!

From the way you word it, you make it sound like you think they have you odds on to be 9-0 at round 9?

Going by those ladbrokes current odds, you're about 6-1, and that's way unders. I'd have it about 12-1.

What do you mean "the way I word it"?
All I've done is post a link to bookies who have us favourites for the first 9 games. It's their opinion, not mine.

 

[Teameagles]

Port Adelaide vs. Essendon Power by 7 goals
St Kilda vs. Collingwood Pies by 2 goals
Richmond vs. Adelaide Adelaide by 3 goals
Sydney vs. GWS Swans by 5 goals
Gold Coast vs. Carlton Suns by 10+ goals
West Coast vs. Fremantle Dockers by 5 goals
North Melbourne vs. Melbourne Roos by 6 goals
Western Bulldogs vs Hawthorn Hawks by 5 goals
Geelong vs. Brisbane Cats by 7 goals

Only 50/50 is saints/pies

 

[GoCROWS!]

Yes there is no way Richmond's defense will be able to shut down Adelaide's forward line. Rance takes Walker. Who takes Lynch? McGovern? Betts? Jenkins?

Tex has done not bad against Rance in recent memory?

RIP Brad. You were loved by many

I just meant you wouldn't be favourites (if by favs you mean odds-on) to be 9-0, even though you are favourites in each of those games. At best it's a 7-1 proposition.

 

[Swooping Crow]

Better than losing to port

Don't think he has been online in months.

We were rated by many "experts" in the media as having the hardest draw of any team. A tough draw was expected after 2 successive prelims.

Frankly though, you don't want to get to the finals on the back of a soft draw and then get found out. Like a couple of teams who didn't progress past the first week last year.

Yeah, man our draw was so great. We'll be better for the run though come September 2016.

 

[Pugz89]

If things went their way the Gold Coast could easily be top of the table after Round 3.

There are 14 teams that can say that. Not really relevant at this stage tbh.
