AFL - Round 8
Submitted by chris raff on Wed, 2015-05-20 10:45
Cats to smash Carlton
Weagles got a gimme against the Saints
GWS maybe , possibly against Adelaide
Pies Cloke to become a protected species but will still miss a bag .
Swans Hawks going in as favourites , not sure why .
Freo At home , no Brown or Swallow for the Roos
Bombers Be good if Brissy get up though
Bulldogs Demons are going to get pumped by angry bullies
Port Should bounce back and win this easily .

Cats and dogs
The boys from West and the boys from Sydney. WCE, Freo, GWS and Swans
On a limb but just because off the above The 2 banana benders (but more likely Collingwood and Essendon - these are my true tips)
Port - only because of AO. Their "form" from last year has been counterred by most teams so not sure about them anymore. Beaten by Brissy last weak???

Fyfe’s 100th game this week
Fyfe’s 100th game this week , feel a little sympathy for the Roo’s player who draws the short straw . Apparently rated as a pretty good contested ball winner . Here’s some highlights for this season thus far from the boy from Lake Grace .

That steal at 4.20 is simply amazing
in elite sport. Poor number 22 from the doggies didnt even know what happened.
WA has 2 of the elite midfielders for sure - Fyfe from lake Grace, And Matt Priddis from Manjimup. A state of Origin game with these 2 ripping in the midfield would be something I like to see. Cmon WA!!

Sorry to pinch the post a little
When was the last defender Brownlow. These poor buggers struggle for very little glory.
And I am no footy historian but was just thinking it is all ruckmen, midfielders and sometimes forwards that get all the glory.

Teams are out, no real surprises, Hawks welcome back Lewis, Port meet there bogey team and the pies will need to leave a trail of breadcrumbs so they can find their way back to Vic. Only real task was to work out how much Geelong will murder the Blues by. I've gone by 66.

I have got no idea how to tip this year, every one of the 50/50 picks for this week have let me down, I'll be lucky to get 4 or 5 winners.

Onya Dockers , actually played 4 qtrs . We went to the game , great atmosphere might give those Chilly dogs a miss next time though .
Bookies must've cleaned up with the Demons getting up , don't think anyone would've picked that . How good was Howe's screamer , great mark .
Yoyo ( Yeo ) might be out of contention for the Charlie ..

6 for me
But wow its a lottery this year. Have to look back at my top 8 predictions at the start off the year. Way out so far!!
If Freo keep going like this I dont know who can beat them in the pack. To many winners on the ground.
Im still not convinced that the Eagles are the real deal despite them being my team. Geelong at home will surely show something as to the true form, but then the Cats arent running like their former glory days.
Edit: Here is my prediction - Port for the flag
"Here we go and bring on the banter.
Hawks - currently 7
Sydney - 3rd
Port - 13th!!!
Freo - unbeaten 1st
Gold Coast 17th!!!
Eagles 2nd??
Adelaide 6th
And my top 8 Dark horse - GWS (about time now for the star studed youngster to stand up) 4th
Woody to Essendoping - once the bans kick in I dont think they will be able to string enough victories together, and wont catch up once time served.
Other cellar dwellers will get more victories this year compared to last, and I DO hope Melbourne gets the most improved. Almost feel sorry for them now.
Let the laughter begin!!
PS havent realy looked at the picks etc but suspect this season will be alot tighter in the 8 than previous ones.
The Flag - Dare I say it - PORT"

And now we see how much worst
the Blues can get. You dont coach for this long and with that much success without having "something good" to offer. I think they are just plain hopeless, and make melbourne of the last few seasons look good.
Just remember someone has to come last out of 18 and this year I think it will be them, unless WADA slaughters Essondoping.
