Broadcast arrangements being a case in point. They've been doing it to me for the last 32 years lol. And it's a week too late but....
Another good round of footy ahead in what has been an interesting season with plenty of surprises... Essendon v Hawks - Hawks by a lot Geelong v Adelaide - Adelaide by 19 North v Melbourne - North by 36 GWS v Collingwood - Collingwood by a record margin Carlton v Richmond - Richmond by 29 Gold Coast v Sydney - Sydney by 43 Port v Freo - Port by 17 St Kilda v Western bulldogs - St Kilda by 59 West Coast v Brisbane - West Coast by 62 Oh and who else thinks Travis Cloke is very, very OVER RATED!! Dude can't kick straight and struggles on good defenders. I'd like to be proven wrong but he isn't worth a mil a season...
Essendon v Hawks - Hawks by 35 Geelong v Adelaide - Geelong by 5 North v Melbourne - North by 80 GWS v Collingwood - Collingwood by 472 Carlton v Richmond - Richmond by 12 Gold Coast v Sydney - Sydney by 60 Port v Freo - Freo by 12 St Kilda v Western bulldogs - St Kilda by 42 West Coast v Brisbane - West Coast by 30 Few tough games in there. I agree Alpha, He's a good footballer but only a $500k player not a million dollar man. Off the top of my head, here are the big forwards I rate higher than him in the league right now Buddy, Roughy, Petrie, Hawkins, Pavlich, Reiwoldt (both of them), Hurley, Kennedy to name a few You could argue a case for Tippet and Walker from Adelaide being better, maybe Mitch Clarke too.
Travis Cloke had 1 good year last year, and that's it. He couldn't kick straight before last year, and this year he can't even get the ball. I'm not saying he's a bad bloke, but definitely needs to pull his head in.
As long as Richmond don't pick up Cloke, I don't care what he does. Agrre he is over-rated esp @ $1m pa. And Push Up is back this week....a couple of weeks earlier than expected....again. He is a machine. Should add some much needed spice to the forwad line.
Haha, push up king, triple m love him! Good little player. @monkeys - All of those players are much better than Cloke both with a set shot kick and actually getting their hands on the footy! I reckon Clokes dad (his manager) is being a C*** head and demanding that much cash. Even though I hate Collingwood, they should refuse to pay it and if he goes, its not gonna hurt them as bad as they think!
I support Collingwood. Cloke is a good player, the pros can see something in him that fans of AFL don't. And all of this contract talk and things have been on his mind. With a few teams wanting him, is going to throw you off your game, he has his life ahead of him and he is young. I hope he stays with Collingwood
Essendon v Hawks by 80 Geelong v Adelaide by17 North v Melbourne by24 GWS v Collingwood by 140 Carlton v Richmond by 11 Gold Coast v Sydney by 46 Port v Freo by 25 St Kilda v Western bulldogs by 36 West Coast v Brisbane by 78 Be some good games this weekend. As much as I want to say bombers can do it etc etc yeah, we are going to get our asses reamed by hawks most likely lol. Probably not as bad as what GWS will cop from the wobbles lol. The Geelong Adelaide game should be interesting too. As for Collingwoods million dollar man, wtf? Collingwood are a good team as a whole and last time I checked they weren't a one man team so how they can justify paying one player so much is beyond me.
I hate Collingwood (Richmond supporter so it's a genetic hate, not personal) but I respect them a great deal and I don't see them letting one big sook and his dad dictate terms to them. I'm starting to hope they offer Cloke a FAIR deal (600ish) and refuse to budge any further. If he stays, great. If he leaves, they can get another free agent or trade. I don't think he wants to got to Fremantle and sacrifice being in the top 4 for the next few years. Plus we all know the 3 cloke brothers all share a bunk bed, sleep with the light on, and have their mum and dad tuck them in every night so he wont move 4000k's away unless something drastic happens
A little late but.. Hawthorn obviously. Geelong by 23 North by 35 Collingwood by 82 Richmond by 7 Sydney by 27 Freo by 42 Saints by 3.. They're able to win but trusting Saints, it wont be huge. West by 56
Especially to lose with that last fluke of a goal haha. Getting a bit worried watching essendon, hopefully they'll make it to the finals.
Just gotta say, found out Scott Thompson got off the charge of striking or whatever. Heard it on the rush hour (here in Adelaide, has Mark Ricciuto on it) this afternoon. Roo was pumped cos apparantly he had a bet for Thompson to win the brownlow at $21 or something rediculous and obviously hes near favourite now.
Amazed Alpha hasnt beaten me to this but anyways lol winners in bold as always Hawks v Geelong by 65 Bulldogs v North Melb by 16 GWS v Port by 21 Freo v West Coast by 45 Collingwood v Saints by 72 Lions v Richmond by 23 Melb v GC by 12 Carlton v Sydney by 15 Adelaide v Essendon by 76 Some awesome games this weekend. Hawks should have another easy win against the cats. Collingwood will most likely beat the saints (I wish the saints would kick some wobble ass but unlikely). Carlton and Sydney should be a good game if Carlton can manage to perform well. As for bombers, well, I can see Adelaide kicking our ass on their home ground What games is everyone else looking forward to?
Hahaha, yep I think you're right and I finally get to go to a home game (most games this year have been on damn saturdays when I have to work) Ok, heres my tips for this week: Hawks v Geelong by 47 Bulldogs v North Melb by 56 GWS v Port by 31 Freo v West Coast by 66 Collingwood v Saints by 21 Lions v Richmond by 12 Melb v GC by 22 Carlton v Sydney by 33 Adelaide v Essendon by 42
