Adelaide v Brisbane - we will see if Crows are the real deal

Geelong and Gold Coast is a big game as well and even Carlton vs Essendon could shape the ladder.

Adelaide vs Brisbane .
Big game for both side , i have a bit of a query on Brisbane's speed , i think this is where Adelaide get the upper hand and run out winners by 15 points.

Richmond vs Sydney .
Sydney will be way to experianced and to strong for the young richmond side to combat , Sydney by 30 points .
Geelong vs Gold Coast .
Geelong at home to hard to beat , with Smith and Homes in their present form will be to much for the Gold Coast midfield to contain , but wont be easy Geelong by 10 points.
GWS vs Port .
Port will still be furious about their last outing against the Dockers and come out with fire in their eyes determined to not have a repeat of that debacle , the loss of Ward for GWS might be greater then
many think , Port to redeem themselves with a 25 point win .

North vs West Coast .
The Wset Australian side have been pushing sides to the end lately and this might be one of the few chances this year to come out victorious , im tipping it will be close all day but worry about West Coast over here .
North by 4 points .

Carlton vs Essendon .
The Dons put up a good effort last week going down by 18 points to Brisbane away , on the other hand Carlton went down to GWS by 28 points at home , so the jekyll and hyde season for both theses sides continues , throwing my hands up in the air and having a guess Carlton by 10 points , if their 2 big guys ( Curnow and Mckay )fire , if not your guess is as good as mine .

Melbourne vs Collingwood .
The game of the round ( apart from ours ) , can Collingwood continue on their winning way , or can Melbourne rebound from their loss to the Saints and continue their pervious good form of 6 wins from their last 7 starts .
I think who's ever mid field gets on top will determine the winner , Petracca has started to shows more and more of the player we all know he can be in recent weeks , that typical breakaway speed from packs seems to be back , and if he can get on top of the Pies mids it will go along ways to a Melbourne victory
Another key to Melbournes success is Kysaiah Pickett if he fires,
then the Collingwood back line will be under enormous pressure . Gawn is another that needs to fire to get Melbourne across the line .
The Pies themsleves have their match winners , the Daicos bothers , Elliott , De Goey , Maynard amongst others , they are a very good even team as well , and if Cameron can at least break even with Gawn that will help enormously.
All in all im tipping Melbourne just to get the chocolates by 8 points .

NAUGHTY100 interesting comment RE the lions speed, once it’s in their forward half I think they are they quickest in leg speed and ball movement. What we’d give for a few of the mid sized forwards playing in the lions v crows match,

[azabob]

Does anyone know why Ben Keays did not make it at Brisbane?

He has been a gun for a number of years.

And yep, I will say for the tenth time we actually bid on Keays who was a lions academy player before we bid on Josh Dunkley.

Adelaide holding up against Lions

Hipwood is a dud, how he kicked 5 against us

[The Bulldogs Bite]

The same way that Chol kicked 4 or Neale kicked 5 a week earlier.

We have a gift.

[BiteNibbleChomp]

I was hoping Adelaide would win tonight. Brisbane clowning that last ten minutes with eight behinds and two outs on the full... couldn't have asked for a better ending

Apparently we're still a motza for top 4 even though we're 3 games and percentage off it. Lol.

Adelaide showed how to take a big scalp, and their captain led the way.

He also kicked 6 against us last year.

And we held him goaless for the first half.

Agree in part azabob with you but the way i see it , apart from Charlie Cameron who has genuine leg speed , they are one paced with guys like Berry , Raynar , McCluggage the Ashcroft twins , but i do see your point , they sometimes look very quick with their ball movement , but thats why this forum is so good there are so many dirrent oppinions .

I hate Geelong and their whinging players - calling for frees, 50 m penalties and the umpire bias down there,
