While I'm still up after watching the Footy show and besides the fact that I don't think I will get much of a chance to post I will put in this weekends games.
Record:
Normal Plays 5-3
POW Plays 5-0
Let's just say that the Adel pick last week could have been more comfortable if it wasn't for Adel kicking 3.9 in the 3rd Quarter.
POW - Not good, but really like it....only kidding as I don't have one at all, just can't bring myself to liking any line 'that' much to make it my POW.
Normal Play...well that is another matter, and I make that sound like they are really good plays, but as they are a normal play I would suggest not going too hard on these. Here they are:
Normal Play No. 1 = It's a multi in Rich, Bris & Adel @ $2.35 as per Sportingbet's current prices. The Rich pick is simple, this is a fade on the worst coach in AFL (Wallace will out smart Knights in this spot), add the fact Ess are travelling back from interstate (Syd) on a Sun game, and now playing on 6 days rest while Rich will have a little over 7 days rest by game time and played in Melb last week, Ess has also been beaten by a combined 294 points over their last 5 games at and ave of 58.8 points 
They are still in the process of blooding more players while Rich did this last year, thus I would consider Rich as a team on the improve, and also add the fact that they have played Bulldogs (draw), Haw (lost by 12 points) and Geel (lost by 30 points) which are the 3 top sides at the moment. If they play consistant footy (and this is why I am only taking the ML) they will win this game with ease.

in HOH's Rd 9 discussion thread. The only change to that thought is that Riewoldt likes he could be playing, but then again he is a 'running' type of player and thus if the knee isn't 100% I would suggest he won't much of an impact on this game, he seems to have come back a little too quickly from his injury, but then again I'm not the Doctor of the Saints.
And finally for Adel. This is again a fade on the poor old Eagles. I simply couldn't take the line as like I have stated in another thread regarding the Melb Vs Hawks game this week I believe the lines makers are sharping up, and at 21.5 points that is just a little too high for me of a side playing interstate, but I think Adel just have the better players all over the ground to handle a win here, plus the fact that an Eagles lack of scoring power and Adel defence 'should' mean a win here.
Normal Play No. 2 = Rich -19.5. For the seasons stated above, and also add in the fact that the Tigers should have won the 'dream time' game last year if it wasn't for some bad playing in the final 10 minutes, plus a little help from the Umps for the Bombers...poor Richo, but I think he gets his just reward this week.
Normal Play No. 3 = Carl Pk. Freo are simply shit, and where this game will be won is in the midfield to which I think that Carl have a significant advanatge, plus the fact that Freo are travelling interestate, playing a Sat day game in Melb after playing in yet another heart breaking loss last week in the last game of the Rd on Sun late afternoon, so you could say about 5 1/2 days rest 
. They will lack more interest as the season go on due to the fact they are 1-7 after 8 rounds with their only win coming against the Eagles who are also 1-7! Throw in the fact that Soloman and Tarrant will be more looking forward to heading back to the night life in Melb than playing the game, and also that the coaches are simply not a big rap (and I have my sources to know this for sure) for Kapler Bradley...yet he gets a game simply because they don't many others to go with.
