General Footy Tipping and Discussion Thread

Thoughts on this weekends games? Personally, the only upset I'm leaning towards is Essendon over Freo, although I wouldn't be shocked if Brisbane knocked off Sydney, to be honest.

Port Adelaide v. West Coast
Gold Coast v. Geelong (Gold Coast tempting IMO)
Western Bulldogs v. Richmond
Sydney v. Brisbane
Melbourne v. Hawthorn
Fremantle v. Essendon

GWS
North (very slim margin - Blundstone Arena + Hobart conditions very different to what Adelaide usually plays in, go back to the match against the Dees for a perfect example. Ade have only played at Blundstone once.)
Collingwood
Port
Geelong
Richmond
Brisbane
Melbourne
Fremantle

We don't talk about that match.

Hehe, I picked that match on purpose. Could've used the West Coast one where the conditions were terrible..

[Aaron]

Gee, what happened to GWS. St Kilda are just running all over them now.

Can I call this a choke? It feels right to.. given people scrutinize North for dropping off after leads (and call it choking).  let me have a bit of fun

I watch a lot of footy but tomorrow I'm going to my first collingwood match since 2012 ANZAC day. Really hope we beat the scum!

I really hope you aren't serious. *checks to see if you're still a collingwood supporter*

I'm pretty happy with that St. Kilda tip. I really rate them.

And that's exciting, Rod! I hope you love it!

That was such a good match last night. Should've been studying, no regrets

[Aaron]

BOOM.

BOOM.

I've only just seen the scores. Congrats, Aaron - great win!

What was your read on the match?

I loved the 64 points to nothing at quarter time. That was absolute gold. I'm so happy that we stuck through to the end, rather than giving up like we usually do. It seems the message is starting to get through now. It was so important to get that massive lead, that created momentum.

I thought Adelaide didn't play their best either, which clearly helped. I did say in my predictions that Blundstone is a very different ground and the conditions make it very difficult if you haven't played there often (which Adelaide haven't, only played once and we beat them by 7 points when they did last).

^Did the 64-0 break records? If not, it was surely close!

Who knows. It was great, regardless!  A little bit of payback for the Elimination Final last year!

What i'm more happy about is the fact that everyone thought this game would be an easy Adelaide win. Proof that nothing is set in stone Hopefully this is the start.
