AFL Round 9

GL g-man, hope you have fun in the sun.

 

And GL this week...personally I don't like playing interstate teams unless I'm very very very confident.  Just a quick note on the Syd game, Mark Williams of Port is very pissed off this week so 'maybe' this could flow through to the playing group...usually does

 

Of your games above I am seriously leaning with the Hawks, haven't picked them yet this year but my impressions are that they want the mantle that Geel currently holds, and with the Cats not playing all that great this only gives them more incentive to play well IMO 

Looking at the Saints as well, BOL

Don't like the Siants pick g-man, but I will tail you on the Hawks pick against my better judgement!  My main reason for doing so... Hawks finally have a chance to achieve something they have been striving for all year IMO....Top Spot.  The thing with sides that are very well coached and have a playing list at the right time for a premiership push is that they want respect and at the moment the Cats have had 'most' attention as they are the premiership favourites, and rightly so (if you look back at what they did last year, and I know it is last year, but that's what alot of people are currently doing except after this weekend).  But after the Cats slipped up on Friday night this is the Hawks chance to turn some heads as you watch...in tomorrows papers alot of the attention will squarely be focused on the Hawks if they can 'again' blow the Dee's out of the water, and with a couple of very handy players missing!

 

Wasn't simply going to play the Hawks due to a few players missing and an extra couple of new boys in the squad, but seeing whats on the line I'm very happy to tail you here g-man, and lets throw in the fact that the Dee's had the record number of clangers last week against the Crows, and now they are up against 'another' very good pressure side, and having travelled back from interstate, and also up against what is believed the best user of the footy in the Hawks.....thus give me the Hawks on a beautiful day (guessing the weather conditions as it was great day here yesterday in Adelaide, and Melb generally get our weather a next day) as I see the big guns up forward having a field day and thus an approx 70-80 point win.
