Can't wait to see hawks smash the crows and shut their supporters up. They have played two shit sides and won and I'm hearing top 4 already. Seriously? Last year the same people were telling me they don't even watch footy anymore. What's that? Can I hear the bandwagon? Didak Attack

Richmond to get there first points of the year tomorrow
Sydney over Port. Mumford to dominate Redden
Freo to beat Brisbane
Essendon comfortably
St. Kilda to continue winning form
West Coast
Hawthorn. Should be a good game
Cant go past Geelong
Tonight is the hardest game to tip. Carlton's INS - Jamison and Duigan are handy returns and will both play big roles in the back half. Still no Johnson and Didak for the Pies...
I'll go with Carlton just. There almost at fell strength. Only certain starter missing is Walker and maybe Warnock

yea - I'll go with you there. Renouf for Port may have come in to give support to Red, but he's only played one SANFL game last week afrer a late start to the year due to injury. Portv wont be able to contain Goodes if he plays a blinder, too. ^^^^^^^**************************^^^^^^^

Nice pick on Carlton guys.
Do you think the Crows are any chance at $5.00? Seems like huge odds to me...

Blues by 10 goals  Carlton have arrived - Collingwood may be departing? ... they looked nothing like the dominant team of the past few years. Carlton's midfield depth was obvious last night. Judd, Murphy, SCotland were terrific - the support players Touhy, Curnow and Robinson plus Duigan as sub were good. Collingwood rely still on Swan, Pendlebury and Thomas - all had little influence. Carrazzo shut Pendlebury down as well as having some important touches himself. Delivery into the forwards didnt help Cloke or Dawes. Carlton have that good mix of talls and smalls up forward with Waite and Betts the stand-outs plus Murphy chips in for goals, too. ^^^^^^^**************************^^^^^^^

I wouldnt have thought Hawks such big favourites. Adelaide having done anything wrong so far this year ... but, many are apprehensive about how they will go against Hawks - its their first real test of 2012. ^^^^^^^**************************^^^^^^^

Carlton were dominant all over the field...and even the flukey bounces went their way, which usually happens to the better team...Judd had a field day... very costly for DT's like mine with Pendles as captain...also losing Ball, who was my second Pies midfielder... players like Dawes, Blair and Beams have to get more involved (especially Dawes)...and Buck's new directive down the corridor is not working... going to be a hard season if the injury toll keeps up...losing Reid just when we get Maxwell back and no Tarrant or Brown... and boy do we need Dids... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Been watching Ablett exclusively in tonight's game...the last fifteen minutes of the first quarter he was not involved in the play at all..yet his DT points went up by twenty points... points padding? definitely... Karmichael Hunt had a purple patch in the 2nd quarter where he was continually involved in the play for six-seven minutes...result: 14 points... talk about bias...or cheating... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You are insane. DT points are based on stats, can't be cheated. Hunt prob does all the 1%ers that don't mean shit in DT, only supercoach. Everytime Ablett touches the ball he does something with it.

how can anyone accumulate twenty points for doing nothing...he did not touch the ball in that time...and they credited him with two tackles which were ten metres off the ball.... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

at half-time he has 96 points...I've seen him have far more dominant halves and not have that amount... I'd like to see that first half again and do an accurate count...especially the tackles... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

his second half was visibly superior to the first half...yet he only scored 64 points.. he gave a free kick away and they only deducted one point instead of three... Jobe Watson had an equally good game...including three brilliant chunders... all for 94 points... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The main thing I've noticed is they don't have the Arizona fitness advantage this year...fading at the end of matches... injuries haven't helped either...but they are not playing with desperation like the last couple of years... maybe Bucks is not as scary as Mick when he's cranky... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Stoked with the sainters. Not much opposition but we're playing attacking football and winning contested footy. Rooey is playing well, the len dog is back to his best. And probably the most exciting aspect is our youngsters like Rhyce Stanley has taken a huge step. Averaging 15 possessions, 7 marks and 2 goals a game. If he keeps that up he'll be one of the most improved in the league. Very excites, already we look like a far more competitive unit then last year.
