Dunno about the flag but our run to the finals seems ideal, with only a couple of games that we shouldnt definately win.

Richmond - Should win
Melbourne - Should win
Bulldogs - Should win
Essendon - Should win
Collingwood - Would be lucky to win, but with current form very possible
Dockers @ Etihad - Should win
GWS @ Skoda - Should win

If they win 6 from the last 7, could be very interesting come September :D


Turn it up. 2 for sure. The rest 50/50.

Correct.

2 should win (Melb & GWS), 2 80/20 lose (Ess & Coll) and 3 are 50/50 (Rich, Dockers and Dogs)

No wins at MCG, have they one anywhere outdoors apart from GWS and Suns and were lucky to beat suns
I wouldnt be tipping the roos in any outdoor game.
They are very suited to Ethiad.
Richmond will win comfortably this week

I'll give you Richmond, Melbourne, and GWS as "already banking the points" chances of winning.
Bulldogs likely but on their day would still touch you up*
Essendon, well it depends on which Essendon turn up.
Dockers, dependant on some guys standing up around Pav, but you'd be upset at losing.
Collingwood is your biggest hurdle (obviously).

I'm thinking Collingwood and Essendon would be your only wins that you could take much out of.

They are "should wins"...Im not saying they will. In the last 4 rounds they beat the Crows, Saints, lost by 2 points to West Coast, and beat Carlton...not bad form. If they keep it up I dont see why they cant win most of them.

But I have to admit, the Roos will probably finish 9th...

Well he's a Hawthorn supporter and as such he's a complete dill BUT he's made a good point about the Roos not doing so well outdoors. Even the best indoor side of all time (St Kilda 2009) couldn't win the flag. I think North and Richmond will be very tight indeed with Richmond stung by their effort against the Suns.

regards,

I like the Tiges this week too, in a tough one to pick .. Although their trip to Cairns concerns me a bit and the Roos have been playing some top footy.

i think the kangas will smash richmond and they actually need to smash richmond to really put pressure on getting a finals spot.
richmond losing in the manner that they did last week, will be hard at it early, but they dont deserve to play finals

There is so much riding on the Roo's v Richmond as well as St.Kilda v Sydney.
With Geeling winning that 7th and 8th spots look tighter again. Freo are likely to get some good % from there GWS clash and I would expect the swans to get the job done against the saints, so if the Roo's can get up well then it will get even more interesting.

Damn some good games on this weekend.

really believe that essendon might be in the firing line and not the cats
they looked great on friday and the three weeks of heavy training load might just pay divedends for the cats
essendon are at riskof loseing a couple which will really put the pressure on
we stand as one
we fight as one
we win and lose as one
we are one

Roos should now make the 8, matt campbell was great as the sub, Petrie too big and classy and deadly accurate! As a tiger fan was not happy and thought the umpires ruined the contest at times for both sides.

The way the Roos have bounced back after the hawthorn game and losing to the power is a credit to them and hope you can hold onto your spot in the eight.
