Last year (or was it the year before) when it belted down at AAMI against the Saints, Port got up by a fair bit.......

My tips:
Power
Magpies
Hawks
Dockers
Tigers
Cats
Bulldogs
Demons

I don't know why I've gone for half of these and could end up with another low total.
But I've got a funny feeling there will be more upsets this week.

i got two last week thinkin they were all gonna win. the only upset was me!!! piece of crap 2!!!
try again though...
Saints - Port are good but not that good, 37pts
Pies - after beating Bris at the Gabba should touch up the Dons, 28pts
Hawthorn - West rollerCoasters down again this week, Hawthorn to start a run 42pts
Roos - cos the Tigers couldn't win a raffle, 19pts
Freo - don't know why... probably a stupid tip... but i gotta make up ground somehow (or lose more) 13pts
Geelong - in a canter, 34pts
Dogs - Murphy to add some presence up forward and Higgins to dominate, 27pts
Adelaide - Melbourne can't keep the footy normally, the Crows zone will swallow them, 33pts
I am not talking to you for 3 minutes because you punched me in the head and it hurt and that was not okay for you to do

Port by 13. Kosi out of the forward line will hurt the Saints who have trouble with the Power at the best of times.
Collingwood by 42. Essendon are rank.
Hawkthorn by 20. An average game this one will be.
Roos by 18. Cos Tigers can't win a chook raffle. ;)
Sydney. You cant tip bloody Freo. A rabble.
Geelong by 16. We don't play our best footy at Skilled so no walkover with Lingy out.
Carlton by 14. Blues go all right against the Dogs and should be desperate after the last two games.
Adelaide by 7. Will only just shake off the self destructing Dees. No walkover here either.

regards,

REB

I wouldn't think so, they don't go when it's dry.
