Round 4 Tips & Crowd Expectations

[HappyChappy35]

Beat you to it Brad.

Sydney v Geelong- 25pts (full house)
4th consecutive 6 day break + reigning premiers on their home ground= not feeling confident at all. Sydney to jump out of the blocks early before we claw our way back, only for the Swans to kick away in the last.

Hawthorn v Fremantle- 19pts (14,000)
Impossible to tip against the Hawks with the form they're in. Freo will make it tight and scrappy but the class of Hawthorn will see them home.

Richmond v Collingwood- 27pts (74,000)
Tigers will make a contest of it but the Pies with more class and polish to bounce back.

St Kilda v Essendon- 47pts (45,000)
Saints were much better against GWS than in recent weeks, however the Bombers are on fire and should win this comfortably. Could be a spiteful clash too with the whole Goddard thing.

Gold Coast v Port Adelaide- 1pt (9,000)
This one is a flip of the coin. Port have the slight edge for me and will scrape home to consign the Suns to their second close loss in a row.

West Coast v Carlton- 17pts (full house)
Going for a big upset here. The second half against Melbourne aside, West Coast have been unconvincing thus far. Blues to fire up and avoid going 0-4.

Melbourne v GWS Giants- 33pts (11,000)
Should be a more competitive effort from the Dees but they're still in a horrible place ATM and I can't see that changing next Sunday.

Adelaide v Western Bulldogs- 39pts (34,000)
Crows should win this easily, especially being at Football Park. Dogs to put up a spirited showing though.

North Melbourne v Brisbane Lions- 2pts (19,000)
North to jump away in the 1st half, only to get reeled in by the Lions who almost manage to snatch it. Roos to hold on and register their first win of the year.

WTF is this?

I'm not putting my tips out there in a non-brad thread.

 

[liam_13]

Sydney by 16 - SCG capacity
Hawthorn by 27 - 17k (close until the last 10 minutes until Hawks do what they do and run all over the opposition in the final phase)
Collingwood by 21 - 62k
Essendon by 36 - 44k
Gold Coast by 1 - 11k
West Coast by 6 - 41k (narrow loss for Carlton, but to be a high quality match and very unlucky for the Blues to lose)
Melbourne by 18 - 16k (have enough experience and class to beat a chunk of 18-19 year olds - however no Green or Moloney to front run so will be interesting)
Adelaide by 44 - 33k
North by 16 - 23k

[treefingers]

Sydney v Geelong - 25 points
Hawthorn v Fremantle - 49 points, hawks have too much class atm
Richmond v Collingwood - 45 points. Tigers to get a reality check
St Kilda v Essendon - 58 points, bombers are running on emotions and will destroy them.
Gold Coast v Port Adelaide - 2 points, could go either way
West Coast v Carlton - 5 points, WC look extremely average so far in 2013
Melbourne v Greater Western Sydney - 9 points, they couldn't possibly lose could they?
Adelaide v Western Bulldogs - 24 points, boring.
North Melbourne v Brisbane - 27 points, north are playing alright footy, should account easily

[TubbsFarquhar]

Sydney v Geelong - 18pts 27K
Should be a good contest but the Swans will have the edge at home.
Hawthorn v Fremantle 47pts 15K
I'm pretty sure the only time Freo have won down there was sirengate and I can't see that changing here, the Hawks are looking the goods and will be too strong.
Richmond v Collingwood 10pts 78K
Tempted to pick the Tigers but I think the Pies will bounce back. Mind you, the Tigers' best performances last year were against top sides. They smashed both grand finalists and came very close to beating us in Adelaide, Geelong in Geelong and West Coast.
St Kilda v Essendon 36pts 42K
The Saints were much better last week but I can't go past the Dons right now who are running hot.
Gold Coast v Port Adelaide 29pts 13K
The Suns are a chance at home but Port have improved tenfold and should get the job done.
West Coast v Carlton 6pts 39K
The Blues match up well against the Eagles and this should be a cracker. However, the Eagles forward line will be too strong for Carlton's fragile defence which will be the difference.
Melbourne v GWS 14K
Almost impossible to pick. Aside from a spirited first half last week, it's hard to see the Dees beating anyone right now but a loss to the Giants could be the end for Neeld. I'll reserve judgement on this one.
Adelaide v Western Bulldogs 19pts 32K
I'll tip us at home with no confidence whatsoever.
North Melbourne v Brisbane 30pts 20K
North couldn't lose to the Lions at home surely? If they do, then questions need to be asked.

[Soul_Pie]

Sydney v Geelong - 30 points. Sydney are still the team to beat in my view.
Hawthorn v Fremantle - 40 points. Hawks are still an incredible outfit, can't go past them. Hodge is looking like the x-factor that takes them to a new level.
Richmond v Collingwood - 5 points. Pies haven't been entirely convincing this year and Hawks showed that they have significant weaknesses. Richmond are dangerous and filled with confidence. Pies' class should get them over the line but there's no guarantees.
St Kilda v Essendon - 36 points. Saints are on decline, Essendon are on the up. Should be pretty comfortable for the Bombers.
Gold Coast v Port Adelaide - 12 points. Suns have given a good account of themselves this year but Port have hardly put a foot wrong.
West Coast v Carlton - 9 points, both teams playing average football, but I'm going West Coast purely on home ground advantage
Melbourne v Greater Western Sydney - 1 point. I'm going Melbourne but they could completely make a hash of it and lose if they keep serving up crap like the last three weeks.
Adelaide v Western Bulldogs - 30 points. Bulldogs are not there yet.
North Melbourne v Brisbane - 43 points. Roos finally get a chance against a struggling team, should take full advantage of it at home.
