Hawks
Crows
Geelong
Eagles

There is bound to be at least one upset though.

Freo are a smokey I reckon, but the loss of McPharlin will hurt them. Probably need Pav to run amok as well and unlucky it's at the MCG and not Eithad.

Crows & Sydney game could go either way as well.
 
Hawks
Adelaide
Geelong
West Coast

Those are mine; playing it safe like most of the others.

I think all of those games could go either way.
 
Hawks---the stand out.
Geelong---the biggest threat.
Crows--could do anything from tank to be un beatable.
Youll know in the first 10 mins of the game--any of them.
Westcoast---Unlikely but competitive.
Kangaroos.---The long shot.
 
Hawks
Swans
Geelong
WCE

Kanga's could be the upset of the round if they bring their form from the Collingwood game. Swans should get over Adelaide with their close in ball work. Geelong will rake it home against Freo. Hawks should be able to get over Collingwood easily (don't like losing Guerra though).
 

The exact reason the Crows have won 8 of the last 9 games. Crows inside work is superior to the Swans. Once Sydney's inside game is broken down, Adelaide have a far better running game as well.

I think you will find they have won 7 of 9 and the only good teams they beat were Freo and Eagles in Adelaide and lost to Brisbane.

Their draw lies about their true form but I do agree they should beat the Swans as I don't think the Swans can kick enough goals unless their midfield kick a heap and Goodes decides to actually play.
 
I will tip Hawks to win the flag, but would be verrrrrrry happy to have the Eagles take it off.

Hawks looked like they had plenty left in the tank last week against us (eagles). Albeit it was a creditable performance by the Eagles.

Collingwood did not look convincing against the Dons. Are they resting?

Swans could do anything - 4 losses out 5 (if they lose to Crows) seemed very unlikely a few weeks back.

I fear that Adelaide may not have seen enough top 8 material in recent weeks, and i thought should have finished top considering their opposition in recent times. Home game this weekend is a blessing for them.

Geelong difficult but do-able. Plenty of experience.

Freo will learn something but cannot see them getting too far. Geelong will need to lose their game and Fremantle may scrag it.

North Melb should (hopefully) be exited this weekend. but very creditable performance this year.

Eagles will need to do it very easily this weekend to be considered any further chance. I dont think they can sustain the whole campaign, (sadly).

But dont listen to me, I know Jack Sheet if you go by my tipping results and its finals footy after all. It looks like it is gonna be great end to the season.
 

Sorry mate, I meant 8 of the last 9 against the Swans.

Mmm agree to disagree - I don't like the Swans but watching them against the Hawks; they matched it in the middle and did really well in defense. Not big goal kickers but people like Kennedy can be unstoppable (top 3 brownlow pick BTW).

Good luck nonetheless!
 
So can Dangerfield and Thompson... Sloan and Vince are no push-overs either. With some good tall defenders and two of the best power forwards in the league (plus a resurgent Porplyzia) they could do anything on their day. Petrenko is also handy in that negating role.

I agree with nomore4s though, they have not been tested by the top 8 sides enough at the back end of the season. We shall see, could go either way!
