[Sorry Dude]

THURSDAY APRIL 9:

Geelong vs Collingwood @ Melbourne Cricket Ground - 7:40pm - picking this as game of the round. geelong playing some very good footy and collingwood will have to play better again that what they did last week. should see where the pies are in 09 tomorrow night.

SATURDAY APRIL 11:

St.Kilda vs West Coast @ Docklands Stadium - 2:10pm - i think the saints will keep with there winning ways. reiwoldt and kosi to do the damage again.

Carlton vs Essendon @ Melbourne Cricket Ground - 7:10pm - another team to be 3-0 playing some very attacking footy. but will be a good game.

Brisbane vs Sydney @ The Gabba - 7:10pm - i think bris just being at the gabba might put them over the line. not much between them both.

SUNDAY APRIL 12:

Port Adelaide vs Melbourne @ AAMI Stadium - 12:40pm - i think this should be a good game. port need to do a lot more than what they did in the west last weekend, and melbourne took it up to collingwood but got over run in the end. tip port but melb could shock a few.

North Melbourne vs Hawthorn @ Docklands Stadium - 2:10pm - hawthorn to bounce back even with there injuries.

Fremantle vs Adelaide @ Subiaco Oval - 2:40pm - i think adelaide just. but pav might have a bit of field day with the crows being down a key defender. fingers crossed stevens is right to come back.

MONDAY APRIL 13:

Western Bulldogs vs Richmond @ Docklands Stadium - 2:10pm

- i think the dogs will have a bit to much run for the tigers but could be a good one to watch.

What damage has Riewoldt done this year? Not much so far, in a team that's been going pretty well. He's probably due though. I think Geelong would also want to play better than they did last week, falling over the line against Richmond. Could be a round of upsets. I think the only surprises would be if Melbourne and Richmond got up, the rest could go either way.

reiwoldt had a very good game last friday night was at every contest and if he couldnt mark the ball he was bringing it to and giving 1st use to his little guys. i am not a huge fan of reiwoldt but he does enough for his team to help them get 1st use coming through the forward lines.
