[nomore4s]

We'll see big fella, with a mouth like that you should be able to fit a large piece of humble pie in it come 5pm saturday!

lol, good come back.

Tech those tips look good but I haven't had a close look yet. After last week though you probably don't want to listen to anything I say. Can't believe I tipped Richmond

IF Collingwood win on Saturday, I'll pay for your tattoo removal. I was also going to chip in for a full set of dentures for you, but things are looking good in the budget!

 

[Damuzzdu]

OK.
Bugger the budget now onto serious business FOOTY PICKS

Initial picks---any help greatfully accepted.

Roos
Pies
Port
Bris
Syd
W/Coast
Bullies
Hawks

Ok Tech,

Reckon yr pretty close...however

Couple of issues I have:
- Geelong at home at Kardina Park (SS). They are hard to beat down there, Weagles will have to play at their very best to win.

- And going against Freo at home...brave!!

Cheers

Geelong are tough to beat, but the eagles are a tough team. Unless you're inclined to pick a real roughie, it'd be a big ask to go against an unbeaten team coming off a premiership.

 

[Realist]

My tips this week...

Roos
Pies
Port by 300+
Brisbane
Saints
Geelong
Dogs
Dockers

 

[tech/a]

Hmm I need some roughies to catch up.

Undecided on these as some good points raised.

Saints--seem to have proven themselves and at home.Sydney wont be happy with the loss to Roos will be after blood thats why I picked them away.

Geelong ---Hmm cant see them knocking off Westcoast even at home. They can play some shockers at home as well.

Dockers at home.---Yes the house of pain. Beat Adelaide there but by a point. I still ont rate Adelaide this year,Hawks playing better than Crows.
This is the hardest.

I'm off to Perth Lunch time so will finalise in the morning.

It's still early in the season. Gaining a point each week will get you up near the top shirley? How far behind 3rd place are you?

If you are not picking who you think will win then you are asking for trouble.

Do you get bonus points for getting them all correct?

If so then you'll be mighty peed off if you get 7, and your roughie doesn't win.

Sure in the last week or two you may need a desperate plunge on roughies to come off to have a hope, I'd be playing it steady and chip away at the lead before then though.

Freeo are $1.40
Hawks $2.80

The bookies give the Hawks a 15.5 head start. They do not even think it will be close.

 

[tech/a]

Im 11 behind the leader.
8 behind 3rd.
$50 for 8 no bonus.
Yeh picking up 1 and possibly 2 would be great.
Picked up 1 last week went up and not down
so thats a great start.

Hi Tech

My picks are:

Bombers
Pies
Port
Bris
Sydney
Geelong
WB
Fremantle

I've picked Bombers (not only out of hope) but I have a theory about the Kangas. They love the "shinbone spirit" stuff. The more their backs are up against the wall the better they like it. Not always the best frontrunner. This week will be the first week they start favourites and they have 3 good scalps in a row behind them. I think it might be enought to take the edge off them.
That's my theory.

Pies surely have to beat the Blues on form - however never count out the love of beating traditional rivals.

The St Kilda game will be a real test for Sydney. Their forward line should be too strong for the Sainters. Backline for the St's might have held Blues but Sydney are a class above.

West Coast have to drop one soon. May as well be this weekend.

Bulldogs and Melbourne is interesting - Dees have to win one soon. WB had to travel back to Melbourne after last week but showed enough to suggest they should hold out the Dees.

Hawthorn has a very good record against Freo in Freo. Won more than they've lost over there - but Hawthorn might be due for a loss. Sandilands will provide a much more proficent ruck contest than Essendon did through...........(does anyone know who was rucking???). Freo works the grouund well over there, take into account the media hype this week over Franklin and the young team might just stumble in Perth.

As one former Carrrrrlton President once said...one J Elliott

"There was only two important games all season, Collingwood at home and Collingwood away. And what's better than beating Collingwood by 100 pts, beating them by 1 pt"

As a Pie's supporter, I took some some delight in seeing Carlton getting the spooner award in 2004 and going back-to-back in 2005. But they are on the improve now and they will not lie down on Saturday. Expect a massive crowd at the "G" on Saturday. Despite the fact I live in adelaide, I've been at the "G" with 91K plus, and we won that day...it was awesome!

Two certainties this week.

Carlton!
Collingwood have had their run and had a had physical game last week and I believe wouild be emotionally spent at this stage. Their younger players cannot keep coming up. Carlton have been undisciplined recently and will have improgved mentally after a bake from Dennis. cloke being out is a plus given the structure of the sides.

Brissie!
Adelaide simply cannot keep going. It's OK to respond well when you have injuries, but it can last only so long. The boys who'v played so far this year will be sore, but cannpot be 'looked after' because they are thin on stocks.

 

[tech/a]

Round 7,
Entered 11/05/2007 at 11:18

Collingwood will get rolled!, flogged, maimed, incapacitated by a better & smarter unit, StKilda WILL win, Swans aren't much good this year, Melbourne could roll W. Bulldogs, and Hawthorn should beat Freo!

 

[constable]

Coming off what can only be described as breathtakingly successful research in regards to my prediction that Collingwood were morals last week, I've analysed the Carlton and Collingwood clash this week and have come to the following unbiased conclusion.

Carlton will belt the living suitcase out of Collingwood this weekend.

Reason; because they can!

Go Baggers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carlton suck and you can send your "tattoo removal money" to Piespissalloverblues@mcg.com.au
Hows that humble pie tasting idribble?

Hi Tech

You and I have picked all but one together - Port v Sydney.

Could go either way - Sydney do play that small SCG very well. But hard to pick against top of the ladder.

Best of luck

Duckman

PS Bombers should sort a few tipsters out this week.

 

[idribble]

The monty of the round is SYDNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They're under the pump within the club and will respond. Their midfiled will do a job on Port! They'll struggle to make top 4 this year, but they'll win on Sunday.
