Fairly easy tipping round, only the Pies/Bombers and Port/Eagles game requiring pondering. Gone for the Pies, still not so sure about the other, have Port right now but slightly leaning back towards the Eagles. Need a win, and Port have had the easiest schedule of all time thus far so i take the 4 straight with a grain of salt.
Re Anzac Day, was debating with a fella at work today whether it should always be Pies vs Bombers. He was dead against it, thinks it should be shared. I'm all for it as they started it and are both massive clubs so it's always a grand occasion, I would be right for a change if they made it a grand final rematch every year instead but otherwise I think it's great they have it, and I'm a blues man so no bias there. What do others think?

Josh Hill spray one an easy shot on the run and the Eagle blow yet another opportunity and lead by 33 points.
Well done gaff, delivers beautifully to ash hams who marks and has wi a shot from 10m out and nails it, eagles by 33points and the Eagles get the steadier.
massive delay on my tbox is annoying - at least 20 seconds 
masten redeems himself for earlier clangers and pays them back for the goal he gave up earlier with a good goal on the run.
Eaglew spray another out on the full when having a quick shot they lead by 40 points with 8min 34 left in the third

Umpire gives a riduclous 50 this be a goal for sure what a farkin joke. Got what it deserved, hit the post!!!
game has turned around, Port coming hard now - back to 22
Port with another shot after a free kick and Schultz misses thank god, eagles by 21 points they need a steadier big time. Sinclair with another strong mark this time in defence.
I firkin predicted this, bad kicking is bad footy and we've done virtually the same as last week, Eagles by 21 points if they lose this from here their season is toast!!!
21 at 3/4 time - is it enough???
Cats doing it pretty easily as expected up by 37

Eagles need to burst out of the blocks, kick the first two and put it beyond doubt quickly, the longer they let Port hang around the more chance they have of running over the top of them.
9 farking 16 at 3/4 time last week 7.23 , what the fark is going on!!!
fark me, I rekon they';re almost gone the eagles, the ball bounces through for a port goal. Eagles by 15
Kerr does brilliantly to win the hard ball dishes off to gaff who misses on the run eagles by 16 points. port's neade misses the and hits post with a dribble kick, eagles by 15 points
fark crone goals eagles by just 9 points and I reckon they're almost gone unless they get one in a hurry.
boak with a huge goal eagles by 2 points and they're gone as is their season and they farking well deserve it too.
Port lead by 4 points with 12min 13 left after boak goals and port lead for the first time all game.
coxy with a towering mark out of defence they need someone to stand up and say we're not going to lose this.!!!
Yes Dalziell goals eagles by 2 points. c'mon boys fight!!
Did Geelong just have a goalless quarter against the Bulldogs.
unbelievable another rolls over the back for a goal shueys kick a few minutes ago on the run from 70m pitches and stops on a dime, but overturn on areview that its watouched in the pack , the correct decision but a very controversial one.
tbox is driving me crazy - now they have cut the coverage - Telstra you farkers
port by 5 points with 4min 39 left in possibly the eagles season
back now - Robbie Gray playing great second game back after a knee
c'mon le cras and misses for a point port by 5 points with a 1min 50 left
how have they not manned up farking unbeliebable they lost this and they get exactly what they deserve, absolutely criminal they found a way to lose this.
What a great win. Just outstanding
Travis Boak continues to cement his position as a superstar of the game, the interstaters might realise now

Got exactly what they deserved!!! absolutely pathetic that they lost that game after totally dominating.
I wouldn't get too carried away. West Coast are just another in the list of crap teams Port have beaten.
Well done Port, great effort from where they were
Robbie Gray almost deserves Brownlow votes and he came on as a sub
Neade brilliant
West Coast season GONE

tbox now back to the start of the 3rd quarter - i reckon foxtel deliberately fark up the signal to get people to switch to them directly 
Predicted at halftime that it was nowhere near enough of a lead for the amount of effort they had expended.
kennedy kicks 4 straight, the rest of the eagles combined kick 6.19. Bad farking kicking is bad farking footy, Le cras misses 3 gettable goals buy he had something of an excuse as he was stuffed from having run himself ragged when having those shots cox misses from 20m out virtually directly in front Sinclair misses 3 gettable shots and so on and so on and so on.
No chance of contending now may as well play some guys like Hutchings, Tunbridge, continue playing Brown, get more games into Murray Newman etc blood mcinnes and some of the youngers players on the list for the future, who cares if they recover to finish in the just outside the top four or even in the eight you cant win from 5th or 6th they may as well get some experience into the younger brigade especially if this is woosha's last season as coach and if what I keep hearing is correct he will pull the pin at the end of this season.
I presume scott burns would be the front runner to take over if Worsfold retires from coaching.

going to be a tough season or two now for the Eagles kerr will go soon, maybe one more year, Cox maybe another season, this year could be embley's last Glass maybe one more season, they need to look to the future now much in the same way that Geelong has.
Brown , McKenzie are the logical replacement for glass, schofield will come back into the side, Le Cras still has quite few years yet, wellingham will add immensely to the midfield, gaff will continue to improve as will shuey, kennedy and darling are great key forwards so there is still a terrific nucleus of experienced and battle hardened players, beau waters and hurn should have quite a few seasons left as well but they need to start planning for the future and now is as good as time as any.

Will be interesting if they tank again, as they did a few years ago.......
any idea on what odds the Eagles hit in-play? Said at half time, there was a slight window for Port Adelaide were good enough and boy they were good enough
OK just read on Twitter: What a win by @PAFC (matched at $26 when 41 pts down). @WestCoastEagles traded into $1.01 (inc. $11k+ at $1.05 & under). #AFLPowerEagles
Listening to 'Enimem- Shake That As$ '' ---> Good song
Lions v Dees: Take out the last qtr against Giants and Dees have been woeful. Brisbane not much better. Giants got pumped in last qtr yesterday against another cellar dwellar so that makes Dees last qtr look a little different.
Dees have a long history of average performances and realistically can only play a qtr or so of good footy. Lions at home always hard to beat. They played really well against Adelaide at their only game at Gabba so far.
Lions will win it but way to skinny for a team with their form. Last year, Lions beat Dees easily twice. Dees dont have the mettle to play 4 qtrs, no Mitch Clark. I expect Lions to get on top, Dees show mental weakness and Lions cover the -34.5 pt line on here. $2.10 + available looks more than reasonable.

If Melbourne bring the effort level they showed in 4th qtr verse GWS, they can beat Brisbane
but I too think Brisbane will win by at least 5 goals here
Jonathan Brown with the opener, Brisbane with the 1st goal
Yeah it was good, I don't eat out in Freo that often but it was good, place was called 'Kailis Seafood Restaurant'
Hawks will beat Roos today but not value @ 1.19
Leunberger with his 1st goal 12-6 , fast scoring start
Melbourne in from 5.70 into 3.85 I think that's about right as well, some good signs from Melbourne in that quarter
Total Match Points Line is currently at 215.5 points
Pre Game Total Match Points was at 187.5 Points
HALF TIME ODDS: Brisbane 1.25 v 4.50 Melbourne
not going to get rich by Backing Brisbane at at around 1/4
wtf is going on with the umpiring. They are ruining a good game. So inconsistent with this sliding rule. (& get rid of the goal review & leave the decision to the goal umpire)
Hawthorn with 19 men on the ground...should be on 0 points now 
Haven't watched much but from what I have seen he might be ok if he learns what to do, where to go etc....
This week was the best example of where things are at for mine:
Richmond/West Coast/North Melbourne - give themselves so many chances but don't have the mental strength to beat good sides that challenge them. Happens time and time again to those 3, and keeps repeating

North deserve some credit for the first time producing a Etihad like performance at the MCG against a quality opponent, they now need to back that up with a similar level of performance in the future again when playing away from Etihad.
As for the eagles their lack of available quality personnel has again exposed our somewhat limited depth. Again as I said at the start of the season I was amazed by how many pundits had us winning the flag. To reach the top four now they need a miracle and I can't see that happening, they may go on a decent winning streak as they start to get key personnel back but it will be too little too late and quite frankly the way they've played at times they don't deserve to finish anywhere.

Tigers have a similar problem to the Eagles too often they get little reward on the scoreboard for the frenetic effort they put in.
Looking at the Eagles draw, the next 6 games : Bulldogs (H), Brisbane (A), Roos (H), GWS (A), Richmond (H), Saints (A)are all winnable games in my book. Eagles have lost last 2 games through inaccurate footy more so than bad footy. I didnt watch the 2nd half of the Eagles game but from the highlights was suprised Woosha didnt try to possibly slow down the tempo of the game when leading by such a big margin.(especially with around 5 minutes left in the 3rd quarter) Saw the Eagles price to make the Top 8 after the loss hit around 1.96 to back & 1.99 to lay, think it might be worth getting on them at that price with a view to trade out at a lower price after those 6 games. (win 5 of those games will trade around 1.60 or so, if they can win all 6 reckon they can trade lower than 1.40)
Not much doubt they can make the 8 WCE but there's not much point if they're not going to start looking to the future Embley, Glass, Cox, Kerr will retire by at the latest, end of next season. There will still be a strong nucleus but they need to start integrating some of the young players and developing them in the same manner that Geelong have and they need to start doing it now. The top four is basically gone unless they get a miracle and they need to expose some of these players and see if they can cope with performing at the highest level while obviously still trying to win as many games as possible.
