    Magpies favorites seems scary, but I think they might put in a huge effort against the saints, I'm a big fan of the saints and they really didn't cut it last week, plus the game being at the MCG favors the Magpies big time i feel. Didak and Shaw are big outs, But when 2 of your top players are out, the rstof the team normally come together and lift, and ive got that feling Collingwood will be readyand primed for this match

    I think the Richmond are worth a look at, if Richardson is playing, The Adelaide Crows really were not that impressive last week, but they did what they had to in a must win game. Adelaide are lacking a lot of depth this week, with a few players out and Richmond has always had the Mack of upsetting Adelaide in the past couple of years, and i see this as a revenge game after what the crows did to the Tigers earlier this year at the MCG. I'm very worried about Adelaide's forward production, Richmond ATS for me and a bit on the ML (Must win for Richmond here)

    Swans $1.45 is an absolute special isn't it? Why would the Dockers want to win any more games When draft choices should be their priority, this ML for Sydney looks the Bet of the round.

    Carlton to Thrash Port Adelaide, Carlton ATS i don't care if it's 30 points, take it , this is a must win game for Carlton, they have absolutely had the wood over Port Adelaide the past couple of seasons, and if this is in the Telstra Dome, I'm looking for a 60+ point win here, Fevola to kick 6-8 goals, port Adelaide will not have the will (and dont have any reason) to run with the gun midfield Carlton have this could get embrrassing.

    Few things to consider !

    It will be raining in Melbourne and Adelaide over the weekend, so think about teams who have the running power and depth in these conditions.

    Brisbane's season is on the line so i expect a good effot from them against the Hawks, But its hard to go against the Hawks when you think about it,Sure Brisbane have been able to put up big scores this season, But they also have 1 of the worst defenses in the league (Pateful, Merrett, Roe scary fought!!), and i feel it will be exposed against the likes of Franklin, Roughhead< Williams,

    Essendon and West Coast any thing could happen, but you would have to think Essendon (Must win) Eagles (Must lose) even though they can afford a win. I think the Eagles will win this for the simple fact, they don't want the Wooden spoon. They can afford to win and still be second bottom and be a game clear of melbourne for the race to the wooden spoon.

    Bulldog and North I'm not really interested in Because it will be a tough game, Height and size is what won North the game last time  But you feel with McIntosh not playing in the ruck against the likes of Hudson and Minson and petrie and Hale having to move out of the forward line to do ruck duties, I'm not sure if  the Kangaroos will be potent enough up forward (even though they always find ways to score) Lindsay Thomas has had a great year for the Kangaroos though , could he be the match winner?

    Carlton ATS
    Hawks
    Sydney ML (possible ATS)
    Collingwood ML

    Richmond ATS (small ML)

    Essendon and West Coast any thing could happen, but you would have to think Essendon (Must win) Eagles (Must lose) even though they can afford a win. I think the Eagles will win this for the simple fact, they don't want the Wooden spoon. They can afford to win and still be second bottom and be a game clear of melbourne for the race to the wooden spoon.

    Bulldog and North I'm not really interested in Because it will be a tough game, Height and size is what won North the game last time  But you feel with McIntosh not playing in the ruck against the likes of Hudson and Minson and petrie and Hale having to move out of the forward line to do ruck duties, I'm not sure if  the Kangaroos will be potent enough up forward (even though they always find ways to score) Lindsay Thomas has had a great year for the Kangaroos though , could he be the match winner?

    Essendon ML is looking better than ever:

    West Coast's injury woes are so bad that coach John Worsfold admits he may have to select some out of form players for Sunday's AFL clash with Essendon.

    The Eagles' horrendous injury run got even worse when it was confirmed utility Brent Staker and forward Josh Kennedy required season-ending surgery.

    With Kennedy, Staker, Daniel Kerr (knee), Brett Jones (knee), Adam Hunter (knee/shoulder), Beau Waters (elbow), Chris Masten (groin), Mitch Brown (knee) and Shannon Hurn (leg) already ruled out for the season, and Matt Rosa (ankle) unlikely to feature again, Worsfold conceded he may have to call upon a few fresh faces for the match against Essendon.

    "It's as bad as I've ever seen it," Worsfold said.

    "It's fair to say our 25 might have players that we don't think are in good enough form ... and not good enough form in terms of their last week but overall they're going okay.

    Heath Black gone for Freo as well:

    Fremantle AFL coach Mark Harvey has called for his group to pull together after defender Heath Black became the fourth Docker to retire this season.

    Black ended weeks of speculation by announcing his immediate retirement from the game, joining Shaun McManus, Peter Bell and Matthew Carr as others to have pulled the pin in 2008.

    Takes the Swans in this one guys.  Freo let down after a good win last week in the Derby...time for them to shut up shop, and besides Black wasn't was any where near as liked as the previous players mentioned.  Syd to win and win well, Hall to have a 4-5 goal game, and they shut down Pav.

    Just my thoughts, GL on what ever you guys do

    Well, my Australian book account just got PERMANENTLY SHUT DOWN.

    Great customer service on the other end and a lot of understanding as well.  They are refunding my initial deposit without any hassle and asked for my patience.  Total class and nothing less than I would expect from an Australian book. 

    Nothing but A++ to say about the Aussies running their booking business and it is a shame that I can no longer enjoy wagering with them because of their fear of being prosecuted by the U.S. Government.  Not that I've committed FOUR FEDERAL MISDEMEANORS in the past 60 days trying to enjoy myself, but that is beside the U.S. Constitution. 

    So much for the "land of the free."

    Garbage bullsh$t.

    My favorite Polish wodka is banned in this country.

    Bundy is banned in this country.

    Vegemite is banned in this country.

    And spending my money the way I'd like is now banned in this country.

    I am sure George Washington is awfully proud of this.

    Well, I do have some interesting information to share.  I am not sure if you guys remember way back to the early part of the season that I was having dreams of games and the results as well?  Only problem, I was having them before the start of the game, but I would awake after the result had finished!!!

    I woke up today walking to my computer intent on getting the recap of the Melbourne/Geelong match and couldn't believe that I slept through it.

    Halfway to the computer, it hit me.............the match hasn't been played yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Geelong won 128-53.

    Take Geelong minus the hefty points.

    I also vaguely remember another game I was "watching" (in my dreams of course) and it was much lower scoring and something about Wests.....but I was too fixed on the footy that I really didn't pay attention to it.  I do remember, however vaguely, that it was rather high-scoring for a league game and I believe Wests won.  But again, nothing pinpointed on that "viewing."

    TAKE GEELONG MINUS THE POINTS!

    Now that I have been shut-out from by book, I believe that is a nice gift from the visionaries who allow me to see these things.  I have no idea if that will be the final scoreline, but I think the point is that Geelong will cover even if it's not.

    Good luck everyone and let me know if you decide to play this match on the line because of it!

    No doubts man.  Every single game I've "watched" in my dreams have won and/or covered this season.  Thing was, I've always woke up after the game was finished.  This dream was so real, as I mentioned, that I was actually walking to my computer this morning with the intent of reading the game recap......until it hit me halfway there that the game was yet to be played!

    Have your own reason for playing it, but just play it!!!!!!!!!

    Oh, ecoute..............I am not playing this game so not even my jinx can stop this from hitting!
