Only 3-3 last week after a promising 2-0 start to the round, feeling quite confident on these picks. Still away in a remote part of tasmania (not even phone reception) so must be quick, good luck.

Western Bulldogs -17.5

Hawthorn +4.5

Port Adelaide +6.5

Geelong -20.5

Good luck guys.

Love the doggies to punish the Dees and cement them into the early wooden spoon, where they will stay for the rsy of the year.

Is Melbourne as bad as advertised? If so, -18.5 against a rejuvenated Doggie is way short in my opinion. I was on Adelaide last week,

, and the Dogs were tenacious and hungry. If Melbourne is as soft as people say, then WB will tear them open. Thoughts?

And Essendon +20.5 might be tricky. How good, really, is Geelong this season? Still as good as last season or waaaay overhyped because of what they did last year? The Bombers are no mugs...

Dude it was never a contest, 99 points. Bombers played well last week but up against the best. To answer your question, Geelong as good as last season without doubt, they are actually fitter than this time last year from all reports and look as focused as ever.
