Will be great to see Aaron Francis finally debut

Apparently was a rock v Box Hill last week. Good luck to him if he debuts.

Has played a few real solid games in the VFL. Woosha just wanted to build his tank as he couldn't get through games early in the season. Will definately make his debut this week

No room for White there, Boon?

I think some underrate just how much we have missed his pace this season.

agreed. white very good

did lobbe play ressies last week

[DOC]

yes

He was pretty good last weekend but I think the running men need an extra game before they come back in, the big blokes might get away with one.

Having said that, and thinking about it, perhaps White for Neade might be on the cards too.

Well if we are after the Port ins and outs where is Daisy? Jas the leak been plugged?

[Bum Crack]

Cats a huge chance now they've pissed off Murdoch

[LaughingKookaburra]

Huge chance anyway. Cats still favorites and the bookies show that however the Crows have come in. I'd be over the moon if we got up, I expect us to give it a decent crack but just fall short as I am always skeptical about travelling down there. Anywhere else I would expect us to win.

Never fear mate, here they are, apologies for the lateness, they tried to close ranks
Polec, Ebert and Butch in
Amon, Neade and Dixon out.

Im still lead to believe Butch is dependent on dry weather Sunday.

FNF - Collingwood v North

Sat -
Sydney v Carlton
GC v Fremantle
WC v Melbourne
Dogs v Saints
Cats v Crows

Sun -
Essendon v Brisbane
Hawks v Richmond
Port v GWS

Pies v Roos - who knows what will happen here..noone can pick this match with any certainty. I'd think Pies are value and are in better form.
Swans by plenty
Sun's v Dockers.....who knows.....Freo just....
West Coast to win by 5 goals or 15 goals...
Dogs to get the win over the patchy Sainters
Crows to win at Kardinia Pk over a terribly out of form Cats
Bombers v Lions....bye bye Leopard
Hawks v Tigers - Hawks by 5 goal plus
Port v GWS - weather may impact the big talks for Giants. They are the better side, Port are now in form and depending on the result of Friday night may impact the desire levels for the Power. Draw

Sun -
Essendon v Brisbane
Hawks v Richmond
Port v GWS

Pies 40+ How Petrie still gets a game is beyond me, even Hinkley wouldve discarded him by now
Sydney in a dull low scoring affair
Suns, Lynch and Wright to kick more goals than Freo
WCE flat trackers comfortably
Dogs by plenty, Saints off week
Crows 40+ Cats are horrendous at the moment, Hawkins still in
Lions easy, reckon Essendon will just expect their good from of the last couple weeks to continue, it wont
Hawks in a dull game by 2-3 goal, never in danger but never looking like blowing them away
Port 40+ GWS dont travel

[bennymacca]

I have changed my tips about 4 times already

Im sitting 2 or 3 off the lead in both my comps, so this week will be crucial I reckon

Pies v Roos - reckon pies will get up in a close one here. Grundy has been in great form and smashed mumford and probably beat jacobs on the weekend too. He will do a number on goldy I reckon.

Syd Carlton - obv

Sun's v Dockers - I think freo will have too many big bodies around the ball. Mundy and Neale are going to have a field day.

West Coast v Melb coasters easy

Dogs v Saints saints too up and down, dogs will shut them down and win easy

Cats v Crows - seriously no idea. On form the crows should win easy but im just not confident. I think i go the cats

Bombers v Lions - wowee how do you tip this. Even though on form Essendon should win easy I can just see brisbane coming out and going bang after the year they have had. Im tipping brisbane in about the least inspiring game in history.

Hawks v Tigers - Hawks easy

Port v GWS - I have a theory that GWS dont travel well when they have to face big crowds. In the last two seasons they have only won once for in front of a crowd bigger than 25k, against freo this year.

I reckon port will get up here and keep their season alive.

[mighty_tiger_79]

I'm now 1 behind in footy tips and i won't know what I'm gonna tip in some games until 3pm tomorrow arvo when the tips go in.....
Go for the upsets and glory, or play conservative and hope to level it up.....

[marbles]

gws have 4 ins i never heard of

[mighty_tiger_79]

James Stewart, I thought he was a Melbourne player???

[Jim05]

James Stewart, I thought he was a Melbourne player???

Nah, young forward at GWS.
Was eligible for Collingwood F/S but they didn't take him

Being my two most respected footy analysts on this site Booney & Valley's I struggle to see how you rate White so highly to Port.

If he was still with us at the tigs I have no doubt you would be saying he is a mediocre list clogger (like a lot of our list) & we need to move him on.

He has had one good season for you guys in about 10 in the system. A lot more better players on your list more important to the team than him IMO.
