Few easy and a few not this week.
GCS should account for GWS, although with so many kids on both sides it could be the worst skilled game of AFL ever played (although we do have a GWS v Port coming up so that may take the cake.)
Would have previously said Geelong easy, but gutsy last quarter to hang on in Sydney from the Cows and sub-par performances from Geelong against Richmond and North Melbourne has made this a lot closer.
Will see what comes of injury news, but think Essendon could upset WC.

At the start of the year I would have said absolutely no question of this happening. However, GC may be missing: Swallow, Ablett, Brennan, Matera and will definitely be missing: Bock, Rischitelli, Harbrow, Stanley If Swallow and Ablett don't come up - chances are they won't - thats their entire starting midfield missing!!! Plus 2 of their starting 6 defenders, and their key forward (Brennan) Losses are MASSIVE and open the door to GWS

I'm already on the Bombers ending WC's run... the GWS/GCS match is a real coin flip job...GWS's worst habit is not forcing the ball forward...but they have shown some tenacity... will depend on injuries for sure... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

add to that schofield they are fucked Is this the same Schofield you've called a spud a dud and a hack pre 2012 Smiddy Forward line's been unlucky with injuries but still manufacturing winning scores against i'll admit weaker opposition apart from Hawthorn. Not too confident about the Essendon game at the moment. I'll wait till team selections tomorrow

My tip of the week for week 7: Crows over Cats, get on!  I wouldn't say West Coast are screwed, they've never really relied on a few set goal kickers, the whole mid group are usually multiple offenders in the goal kicking department. Bombers are still way overrated. Eagles should only be slight underdogs in this one.

Looking for some inspiration for my footy tips this week because to date mine have been shit  Eagles yet to prove themselves I reckon so the chance is this week - I reckon Essendon will roll them Brisbane no chance this week I'll be away and won't see any games this weekend so will have to rely on phone app for scores

Some cracker matches this weekend. Adelaide vs. Geelong, Essendon vs. West Coast, Richmond vs. Sydney will be a good game i think, Carlton and Saints on Monday. North and Bulldogs Sunday twillight. Wont be high class but will be tight i think. Going Hawthorn tonight. Cant go past them. Even without Hodge. Good to see Gilham back. Hopefully he gets a good run and proves his fit for regular AFL duties Adelaide in arguably the game of the week. Home ground and home crowd will be advantageous Gold Coast. Bock's out but the in's Ablett and Rischitelli are bigger. Richmond to roll Sydney. Evenly balanced teams without the Goodes and Mumford factor. I'd go with the Swans if it was in Sydney Collingwood easy West Coast. Heart not head tip. If the Crows / Cats game isnt match of the round than this is. Not confident but hopeful of a dream 7- 0 start and beating a competive team in Melbourne. Still no Hurley for the Bombers makes me more optimistic. Could be a game breaker if he played. Not sure if Brown was the right guy to replace Selwood with. Koby Stevens unlucky again. Good to see Neates get his chance. Some head high tackles for the taking there...  he'd be odds on to get the green or red vest but i think Bulldogs just. Never easy to win after the West Australian road trip. Goes against North. 9 day break for the Doggies. Good match up on paper. Could go either way Fremantle. Should account for Port easily Carlton. To strong for the Saints who will miss McEvoy in the middle. There mids will need to rove Kruezer and Hampson.

gibson back next week hopefuly spells schoey to the magoos you have turned me into a Schoey watcher... actually I think he has some promise even if he runs around a bit like a chook without it's head...perhaps in two or three years he'll realise what it is he has to do...at the moment Schoey is not cluey...  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
