You're having a laugh aren't you PG.

Hawthorn vs. Fremantle (MCG) - If Fyfe and Barlow were playing I'd pick Freo. Could be looking at the GF sides for 2014.

Saturday, April 5
Western Bulldogs vs. Richmond (ES) - should be good enough against an improving Bulldogs side
Adelaide Crows vs. Sydney Swans (AO) - Crows not without a chance but Sydney wont lose 3 in a row.
Gold Coast SUNS vs. Brisbane Lions (MS) (T) - Suns should be right in the mix for finals this season
Collingwood vs. Geelong Cats (MCG) (N) - Geelong still looking like a team that will play finals
West Coast Eagles vs. St Kilda (PS) (N) - Only game I am using home ground advantage to pick my winner

Sunday, April 6
GWS GIANTS vs. Melbourne (GS) - With or without Roos, Melbourne are a shambles of a team
North Melbourne vs. Port Adelaide (ES) (T) - Port will smash the Roos
Essendon vs. Carlton (MCG) (N) - Carlton just arent good enough

Tough week. All games excluding West Coast game, could go either way. Great round of footy

Im still not covinced he will.
Reckon Bomber may go with Carlisle and Daniher which would allow him to add Winderlich and Melksham and expose their lack of pace

Just my opinion but I think he might. Just need a contest. Warnock is useless but he'll get over Daniher and Carslie. If carlton are getting first use of the ball then they'll be in the contest.

Also having both carslie and Daniher down there will stretch there defense.

You are probably right but from what I saw of Thurlow in action last weekend id rather go in without a ruck. He looked very ordinary

The Cats haven't beaten the Pies for three years. Bout time we did I reckon. You'll know early on who will win this game. Look out for Harriet O'Labamba. If he is allowed to waltz around the ground doing as he likes then the Pies are home.

regards,

REB

Pies haven't looked so bad in years. Even though they beat Sydney it took superhuman efforts from a few rather than a team effort. Reckon geelong won't have any issues with the pies.

Need cloke to get up and about, he is burning me in my category fantasy league

Also having someone stand somewhere in the vicinity of Maxwell wouldn't hurt either. He played well last week against Sydney but mainly because he didn't have an opponent for most of the night.
