Some good games this weekend, have my eye on a few bets.
Hawthorn/Geelong Hawks are the real deal, but I don't feel Geelong is done with yet. 29/25 scoring shots against the Pies, flogging Bombers, and beating Adelaid is pretty good form coming into this. I think they provide value, albeit just a little. Taking GEELONG at the line +19.5 @ 2.10 Bulldogs/North North at Etihad are probably one of the scariest games for any opposition this year. Have some big scalps and some big scores there. Can't for the life of me see them losing this, but I can't have them that short in any game. Taking BULLDOGS at +49.5 @ 1.90 although only half stake. Port/GWS Can't touch Port at such short odds, so looking at the line. I doubt their ability to score a big total, and I think GWS can easily score 10-12 goals against them. Means to cover the line Port need 120-130, so happy to be Taking GWS at +48.5 @ 1.90 Freo/WC I really just don't like Fremantle at all. WC haven't been the best in recent weeks, but a confidence building win against the Lions should see them getting back to where they need to be. Taking WCE win @ 1.45, -17.5 1.90, and -22.5 @ 2.10 Richmond/Brisbane Both sides play 100% this game is an easy win for Tigers. But who is going to turn up? So much variance on both sides, but think Richmond are getting to the point where they know they need a result. I think they win this, and probably after a fight, but pull away in the end to win by about 20. So Taking Richmond win @ 1.65, -6.5 @1.85, -11.5@2.10 Collingwood/Saints As you all already know I don't rate Collingwood as high as others, and rate Saints higher than others. MCG of course is a bit of a worry, and both teams coming off % builders last week. In a sense, both teams need to win. Saints to stay in touch with the 8, Collingwood to keep them in the 4 for another week. I think this game could be a cracker. Saints are playing attacking footy now, and still provide enough pressure as of recent game style. Collingwood was put under pressure and we saw a second rate performance with questionable slow decision making. No doubt a very good side, but have been exposed. These 2 have played bottlers against each other for as long as I can remember, but I will stick with my heart here and believe the real Saints turn up. Even if they aren't better on paper (I believe they are), I think a full pressure Saints performance will show Collingwood up and get the job done. Since it is a heart job and taking into account others opinions of Collingwood though, I will stick with Taking Saints +16.5 @ 1.90. My tip is Saints win by 15 points by better conversion at goal. Melbourne/GoldCoast Gimme GoldCoast... Simple as that. Melbourne haven't come on, GC been very competitive. -14 points to Geelong, +2 Richmond, kicked themselves out of it for -9 Brisbane, flogged by Sydney, but then who hasn't been. That is a good enough formline to jump through hoops and be Taking GCFC win @ 3.55, +21.5 @ 1.90, +16.5 @ 2.10. Sydney/Carlton Carlton has the ability to get this done, but very hit and miss. Sydney are the real deal, and are one of the safest bets to give you a run every week. Cannot back against them, they win the flag this year. Taking Sydney 1.42 straight up. Adelaide/Essendon Not touching it. Essendon been very disappointing, Adelaide tapered off then flogged WCE. Won't touch Adelaide 1.15 against them, and would be pissed taking the value on Essendon to see them get another 10+ goal drubbing. Too many questions for me to form an opinion so no money down. On paper, I think Essendon must be the value though, but staying away, enough money down already, so that game is drinking time. May watch and take a position at half time or something depending on what is happening. Happy punting.... |

Eagles in trouble again on the injury front for mine, cox under a cloud as is Kerr, (no guarantee to play) Glass and Rosa (a massively underrated and very important player to the eagles) are a massive loss and dockers are at close to full strength although some query over Griffin (but expected to play) if the eagles win this and I don't know if they can under these circumstances, as dockers always lift massively for these games anyway, they will have well and truly earned it. market will or should correct as there is very little in this game.

Hawks I think are going too well for Geelong but should be a really good game, the loss of corey and west who has been much better of late hurts Geelong and Hawks are in great form this is their acid test as no doubt Geelong has the psychological advantage over them and they desperately need to break this.
North will smash the hapless bulldogs, Giants some chance against port at skoda and should beat the line, I really believe Gold Coast who are fielding close to their strongest side can just about upset the demons, the same goes for the lions who field a strong side this week, getting rich back helps immesnely. Swans to comfortably take care of the blues and the crows should do the same to the bombers. |

wow what a start by the cats thery lead by 26 points to zip at the ten minute mark of the first term, havent had a bet and tipped the hawks but would love to see the cats win this, very early days though.

By:
sensational stuff by cyril to bruest geelong lead 32-6 points at the 8 minute mark of the first term hawks maybe starting to finally steady a bit but the cats pressure has been outstanding.

Think we're going to find out now whether the hawks are the real deal or the same old deficiencies still exist. Geelong lead 50-12 with 2 minutes left in the first term.

Been waiting for this :)
Another classic example of people getting sucked in to a team that has beaten 99.9% of their win against teams out of the 8. Really enjoying this game:) Swans will be Hawks by 60+ |

Gotta say, while I knew Sam Mitchell was a gun, he is now right up there on my radar. Must have been living in a cave to not rate him up there in the top 5 players playing the game.

Have a shot Cyril

By:
If Hawks win by a kick they can thank the umpire for not calling a blatant chuck on burgoyne directly in front of goal about 20 metres in the last minute of the third quarter, staggering that it wasn't called and should have been a geelong shot directly in front of the goals 20 metres out. Absolutely laughable the manner in which this rule is currently being umpired.
