Re: AFL Round 18 Discussion

I am way too far behind in tipping, going to have to try and tip upsets.

Thinking Essendon, Brisbane, Dogs.

Re: AFL Round 18 Discussion

I picked 9 last week, including Gold Toast.
Collingwood are too full of themselves. Anyone with a decent amount of enthusiasm can overrun them.
There must be some punters with serious anger against North, who continue to find new ways of losing.

Re: AFL Round 18 Discussion

Only got 5 right last week. Hoping to do a lot better this week. Still haven't got a 9 this season.

Re: AFL Round 18 Discussion

My only 'upsets' this week is us and Gold Coast to win, it's tempting to tip Melbourne against north, but north will probably just bully them like the flat trackers they are.

Tipped us and also tipped the Lions over Port for an upset.

So sweet seeing the Bombers getting flogged. Carlisle was destroyed by Buddy.

Let's hope their year only gets worse from here.

I'm no fan of Hawthorn but I loved every minute of that.

Re: AFL Round 18 Discussion

Hawthorn are looking really strong. Geelong looks like the only team that can beat them. They would be nervous if they met the Cats in PF.

Re: AFL Round 18 Discussion

Gee there's some space between Hawthorn Sydney and the Cats, then the rest.
Nice to see them get pantsed. Thought Mitchell and Buddy ( destroys them) were super.
Carlisle's cheap shot fired Buddy up I thought.
No Jab Watson No Essendon.

Reckon Sydney's mid depth and ability to run both ways could beat Hawthorn.
The problem Sydney have is they have a few players coming back from long term injuries, just before September. Do they play them all?

Didn't we have a chance at Puopolo in the past? Would have been handy

He toured the place a couple of years back I recall.
Think Hawthorn got in before us.

Sydney have gone under the radar I feel a bit but let's not forget they are the current premiers who I'm sure will come close again to a GF.

Not so sure GD. He seems to impact games when the result is done. I like Shane Savage from the hawks.

It's hard to get a read on the hawk fringe players due to their success.
