Pretty quiet this week.

Hawthorn- Freo should and probably will win but that is exactly why i am picking Hawthorn.
WB- Too good for Melbourne
Geelong- Will belt the Roo's
Brisbane- Bock out, Rutten not in form, Bradshaw and Brown to good. Brisbane for me.
Sydney- Too many outs for young WCE to win up there
Port- Big danger game for Port and Richmond are a chance but Port for me.
St Kilda- Just can't see them losing.
Carlton- Too many outs for Coll and Carlton need to win after last 2 weeks badly.

Freo
Dogs
Cats
Lions
Swans
Powder
Blues
Saints

ditto for mine, but if Essendon can somehow play like they did last week you never know and as pup said, Freo should win so they won't. i'd like to see the Tiges get up too, but unfortunately i think the power will beat them...
