You saved me typing it Thiele.
I have some uncertainty about those marked *.

[Pup]

Collingwood- Should be to good for the Roo's
Hawthorn- Tough one to pick IMO but i think Hawthorn will win.
WCE- Much better list than Freo ATM but who knows it is a Derby and that is where Freo play their best football. WCE just.
Port- Hard to pick again but think Port will get up.
Brisbane- Ryder in the ruck, will struggle to contain Brown and Bradshaw.
Sydney- Easily
Geelong- Even Easier
St Kilda- Biggest test to date but should still win.

Tough round to pick IMO. a few of these can really go either way.

[Interceptor]

Collingwood -Pies not great at the moment, but North are struggling
Carlton -not by much
WCE -will turn the tables in the Western Derby
Adelaide -not great last week, but can kick a winning score against a suspect Port defence
Brisbane -should bounce back against a gallant Essendon
Sydney -tough to outplay Sydney at home and Richmond won't manage it
Geelong -Melbourne would need their Team of the Century to be competitive in this one
St Kilda -Saints running hot, while Dogs get Browlow Medallists back and will make it tough

[nuggety goodness]

Pies - No Harvey, no Nth Melb
Carlton - Hawks need a few more big ins to get the job done
Freo - Derby record and i have a soft spot for them (probably cos the missus likes them)
Brisbane - although the Bombers will stick it up to them, they'll miss Hile too much
Adelaide - Port won't have enough to go with them
Sydney - Richmond will improve again but not enough
Geelong - but stranger things have happened
W. Bulldogs - heart pick, will probably lose by a couple though...

[JK]

Collingwood - Need a win, Roo's appear a bit down a bit, albeit dangerous when backs to the wall
Hawthorn - Tough one, Hawks to choks Blues midfield and Roughy and Buddy too potent.
WCE - Glass in form, if he covers Pav well hard to see where Freo's score comes from.
Adelaide - Perhaps have less players down on form, tough to call either way
Brisbane - Another who really need the win, Bombers plucky though so cant be discounted.
Sydney - Wont be free flowing enough for the Tiges
Geelong - Dont think much needs to be said
St Kilda - Dogs would need to re-capture their best to take this, probably too big an ask

[hearts on fire]

Great game of footy at the G today......

Finally off to a good start with the tipping, currently 2/2.

[mighty_tiger_79]

the hawks really are battling, and are lucky they played carlton, most other teams would have beaten them today

[locky801]

Best game of AFL footy have seen in a while, the running of the ball, the tackling, the freakish goals, some great marks, it had it all and went down to the wire, wouldnt say the Hawks are struggling, Carlton played some great footy today but made mistakes at crucial times, Hawks put the foot down a couple of times but Carlton kept fighting back, Carlton sides of a couple of years ago would have thrown the towel in.

Both coaches and players from both sides should stand up and take a bow, great open running footy, after watching that probably have to sit down and watch flooding for the rest of the weekend

[brod]

the hawks really are battling, and are lucky they played carlton, most other teams would have beaten them today

At least the Hawks didnt sustain any more injuries, but the prospects for Gilham and Ellis dont look that good, while Rick Ladson looks like to be a long term injury (August if at all)

Gilham could be a week to week proposition, depending on how it pulls up, while Eliis could be after the Spilt Round.

[Thiele]

Thought that the Hawks and the Blues was the best game of the year so far

[hearts on fire]

4/5 so far this round for me.

West Coast letting me down!!
