Does anyone think Essendon are a chance to beat the Dees?

Absolutely zero chance.
Dees have too much pace in the midfield and a forward line that will murder our defenders.
Will be shocked if we get within 8 goals of them

I had the Dees down as a team that the Bombers could beat but if you look at the odds of this game the punters are having nothing to do with Essendon.

And with good reason!
We couldn't get within 10 goals of a ordinary Suns side who will finish bottom 4.

Interesting round.....all 9 winners are playing the 9 losers. Would be amazing if we had nine teams on 2-0 after round 2

Not from my point of view it wouldn't.

Nah, have a season pass at Essendon. Went up to the GC last week to watch us and will probably get to 6 or 7 in Melbourne. Hard trying to juggle attending local footy, SANFL and AFL. Obviously the more Friday night and Sunday games Norwood play the better off I am

Or 18 teams all 1-1

Last week all the home teams won... this week all the away teams to win? And if that happens then it'll be all 2-0 and 0-2.

Freo to beat the GC will be the only home team to win and buck the trend...

Tigers
Power
Dees
Roos
Dogs
Freo
Cats
Eagles

The Roos have a very ordinary record up North. Brions a chance. Bluey Merrett back helps a lot.

They were ok last week but I'm sure Adam Simpson wasn't impressed letting through 16 goals against a bottom side.

Robbo out hurts them and North should be primed for a big game. Wells was good and will be better for the run. Given the North talls that Adelaide struggled with how can Brisbane counter them? I expect them to win by 3 - 4 goals.
