You mean Gus Gould ?

If we are talking about him he is the biggest whinner of of time.

If I was Bomber I would not happy with the team. They should have run all over the Roos.

Ok guys Geelong didn't cover, very frustrating.
For the rest of the round I am selecting:

Sydney -23.5
Collingwood -48.5

Feel these two should be pretty one sided affairs. Probably won't be around for the weekend, I have too many headaches at the moment. - sigh.
Good luck.

Dissapointing outcome.

Good luck with your plays.

I may go with Swans.

The radio station I follow is 3AW.

Cats have been disappointing all season to be honest as stupid as that sounds about a team that has only lost 1 game all season. I guess what they did last season probably has created unrealistic expectations for this season.

Personally I think they are a lay for the flag this season.

Well they are 10-1 so far this season but only 5-6 ATS. To me this shows they are doing enough to win but most certainly aren't looking to annihilate all in front of them. But they are getting it done, and I think they will lift a gear or two in August/September, when things get a little more serious.

I feel their annihilation mode kicks in after losing the week before. Otherwise hard to figure, Does Geelong have any hated rivals coming up?

Geelong loves everybody.

They beat them with mercy.

They will be interesting to follow regarding ATS results. Mecurial raises some good points.

Last season they covered the line in nearly every match (in favourites in just about every match). I think they still have a gear or two to move up as we get towards the business end of the season.

thanks CrazyFrenchman, was a tough round going 0-3. They all won but failed to cover the line. Wouldn't call it a rough patch just yet as we did go 4-1 last week (after a bad week the week before), perhaps a plateau :)

Can't win every week unfortunately but I'm confident there are plenty more winning weeks ahead this season.

Hey gman, perhaps this round you should have had 23 beers and I should have tried to convince you onto the Blues?

Hahaha...

Let's get into 'em for Round 12! YEEEEESSSSSSS!!!

Rod I would be VERY surprised if you don't see them starting to peak at the business end of the season. They have only played in second gear most of the season with the odd flash of brilliance. IMO if all teams played each other while at their peak the cats would win hands down by close to 10 goals.
