Double header on Saturday with Footscray Bulldogs v Richmond VFL playing at 3pm at Etihad

Some decent games.

Friday night is looking a lot more competitive with Greene and Haynes to miss. I hate both teams so either one losing is a bonus.

Port v West Coast in the battle of the downhill skiers. Expecting Port to get up there.

Gold Coast v Geelong will be closer than many people will think, but expect Geelong to be efficient enough to win. Gaz would need to have another huge performance and Lynch would need to kick 5+ which isn't out of the realms of possibility at Metricon.

And if you're a betting man, I'd be putting everything on the Demons to win by 40+.

By the way, is it time for the T&T rooting thread?

Last year's was some of the best rooting ever!

Root of a lifetime.

[GVGjr]

Some good games and ones that will set the order.

Port vs West Coast could be a game that start to shape the 8. GWS vs the Saints should be a decent Friday night game

[Twodogs]

But who should we root for? Which team winning or losing best directly benefits us? Is it GWS so that it brings it back to one game or is it West Coast and Adelaide so we can leapfrog them after we put out the trash on Saturday night and dispose of Richmond?

Or do we go crazy ape shit bonkers and root willy nilly for them all? We need to know.

[hujsh]

Rooting completely backfired on us last year as we got totally cockblocked by everyone but especially West Coast, Adelaide and GWS. I say we continue finals tradition of just backing ourselves to win all the games we can and who cares who we play or where.

Aiming for top 2

St Kilda v GWS
North Melbourne v Adelaide
Collingwood v Carlton no impact
Port Adelaide v West Coast draw
Gold Coast v Geelong
Western Bulldogs v Richmond
Sydney v Brisbane no impact
Melbourne v Hawthorn
Fremantle v Essendon no impact

A mad Melbourne supporting mate reckons they will be lucky to win at all, says they battle when they go in heavy favourites.. Will gives us an idea of how they are maturing.

Interesting game tonight, I don't really rate St.Kilda's midfield so it will be intersting to see how it stacks up against GWS.

Haynes is a huge loss for GWS. Him and Greene being out opens the door a little for St.Kilda.

$3.75. Tonight will be a good to see how GWS come up after our game.

Those are juicy odds.

[merantau]

I really dislike both teams but will be rooting for St Kilda. Can't stand the talk about "the GWS franchise winning 3 out of the next five" (McAvanney speculating just now). I want to see them crash and burn like cheap plastic.

[comrade]

Giants look much better this week. Saints allowing the GWS running game to get going.
