Think your on the money this week. Even if chapman and harley don't come in for Geelong, hard to tip against a team on a roll, even if it is in adelaide.

 

[prawn_86]

i wouldnt be suprised if the last 3 tips u've got there go either way tech. Might wanna change one to throw in an upset. Thats worked for me in the past, this week i have tipped melbourne to win as i believe they are due for a win and the roos r due for a loss.
but as you know tipping is a fickle beast.

i dotn understand why so many people love the game of aerial ping pong so passionately.

i dont mind the game, but im not a diehard follower. If i watched a game it would be bits and pieces, not the entire game.

In saying all that go the swannies.

Tech,

Big call - Kangaroos to beat WC in Perth. Just look up stats for Perth and Kangaroos have not won there since 2001.

Cheers

[tech/a]

Yes I agree.

Didnt know those stats though.
W/C seem to be falling in a hole.
Roos on a roll.
Keen to make their mark.
An important game for both.
Will be dry there.
Hmm may make a change.

 

[Damuzzdu]

Tech,

An amazing source of stats on AFL can be found at:

http://afl.allthestats.com

You name the stat you need, this site has it.

[tech/a]

Ah the EDGE.

Now in favorites.

This IS the turning point!!
They havent got a chance now!

Thanks!

 

[prawn_86]

dont get to sucked into stats TA,
its easy for them to be unrepresentative. eg a team with lots of short backward kicks can have a much higher possesion count.
stick with recent history and ur gut feeling.
realistically, this season, many games are a 50/50 chance that could go either way.

 

[tech/a]

many games are a 50/50 chance that could go either way.

Yeh I'm a great sufferer of the 50/50/90 RULE.

If I have a 50% chance of picking correctly you can bet there is a 90% chance of getting it wrong.

Hi Tech

For what its worth

Essendon (albeit with bias)
Sydney (should lock Hwathorn run down - up until Ess last week had shown form)
Brisbane (I think Bris would love to win against Bullies)
Port (Carltons win was last week)
Geelong (Yay - we agree)
Kangas
Freo
Collingwood

Yes - some toughies in there. I think Hawthorns bubble will burst soon. Sydney know this is do or die for them.

[Sprinter79]

WCE to beat Ess by 30
Haw to beat Syd
Bris to beat 'Dogs
Carl to beat Port
Gee to beat Ade
Kan to beat STK
Freo to beat Rich
Coll to beat Melb

 

[tech/a]

Well its unanimous---bloody tough.

Cant change them now.
Sprinter and I are close I need some roughies to get back up.
Id probably alter Sydney and Brissy 50/50.
But thats it.

Goodluck gents.

 

[Sprinter79]

Man, I only ended up with 4. As Nelson would say "Ha-Ha!"

 

[tech/a]

5 not much better.
