Hoping to recover from my early mauling, although confidence is dented.
Collingwood +6.5 1u
- was impressed by Collingwood last week, although it is hard to say how much was their pressure versus how much was half freo's players being disinterested
- burns and johnson are quality ins
- rest advantage plus west coast coming back from WA
- brisbane look a couple decent players short to me

ecoute, i enjoyed the game also. mud is a novelty these days.
i was suprised to see collingwood get run over in the last quarter, they generally finish strongly.
YTD: 2-5 -2.2u
Hawthorn +3.5 1.5u
- based on last week and the NAB game v Adelaide, Harvey looks like he has failed to toughen Fremantle up and get them to run as hard as other teams in the comp.
- some of their older name players such as bell, carrs, tarrant, grover seemed to be on the downwood slide and don't have their heart fully in it
- fremantle bring in 3 inexperienced players, although that has not meant much this season given the way youngsters have been playing
- hawthorn looked at awesome force v melbourne and get a bit stronger with hodge and campbell in, but croad is out with injury
I think Hawthorn will run harder than fremantle and get the win. Although, they may get ahead of themselves after last week and fremantle may get their act together, i am willing to bet against it.

It should be a good game this. If it was played anywhere else I would say the Hawks easily.
Croad will still be missed greatly as he probably would have played on Pavlich. Hodge and Campbell back is great for them.
The Dockers were disappointing last week, I know its only after one round but if they can't win away from home they'll never be a true threat. Bell was talked out of retirement over the summer as he's moved cities. I don't think they should have talked him into staying on.
I don't know how much can be read into the Hawks win last week (as I think Melb has a few holes in their team, they have a handful of good players but their weakest players are aren't up to standard). I'm with you Hawks +3.5. BOL

- fair few people seem to like the idea that if you play poorly and get abused in the media you will play well next week, hasn't helped melbourne, fremantle or carlton so far this round
- north are still missing quite a few important players from last year: sinclair, smith, thornton (?? curly haired guy who played on ball and forward)
- maybe archer was the shinboner spirit and now it is gone
- richmond tried hard last week and always feel better backing a team that puts in
- nathan brown back near his best is a major boost
