Certainly with you on
Certainly with you on 4.
Other coin tossers - NM vs Hawks, and Cats and Dogs.
Im leaning towards your choices though. Dogs lost a couple of important players, but at Etihad not SS -Hmmm
And think NM has had an easy run.

The Great Devide IMO
At this stage I can see a split in the comp.
It appears there are 9 teams only that can make up the 8.
Carlton, Melbourne, Richmond, Saints to far back.
GCS, Freo, Collingwood, Lions and Doping to far back and fighting for the spoon.
That leaves NM, Cats, Adelaide, Port, Swans, Hawks, WCE, GWS and Bullies to fight out top 8. One out which depending on results can be anyone, even NM. No-one is safe as far as I can see.
No team has great form that makes them the standout. Sydney and Geelong look the best, but both have lost to bottom teams. Mighty Hawks JUST getting it done. Adelaide hot and cold. WCE not even flat track bullies. As for the true Bullies (dogs) appear strong, yet not always convincing and GWS can beat anyone, but has tripped up aswell.
Whats others opinion on this.

At least I don't have to tip for or against the cold spud pies
this week.
They have been a real pain in the butt lately
Hawks should continue Norths slide.
Eagles to win against The Brissie Bears .......
Port to bring the Frockers back to reality
Doggies to buck the trend and end their losing streak against the cats
Swans at home
GWS.

None of my tips these days are boldly selected. So far behind I've given up and just blindly throwing darts at a board for shits and giggles. I picked Freo...for what its worth.

The big test today will be
The big test today will be skills under obviously more pressure than the last two games , good to see Tanner Smith getting another run . Pav back in and if Tabs can standup again it may well be a goal fest . Can't see Neale being held for 2 weeks in a row .. Lots of hungry young blokes looking forward to see how they go against a decent side .
If we win we've turned the corner , if we get within a couple I'll be content , if we get flogged I'll be a little bit upset

4 late goals is a concern as is the desire for the hard ball and our goal kicking. Just lacking the killer instinct which is why we can't beat the top 8 sides.

The overall match stats aren't too flattering too
Eagles only really ahead on scorecard, which is the main thing I suppose.

Tanking call
has lit the fire in Freo - go kill a few more for the rest of the seasons, but please lose to WC in 3rd last Rd.
Cost me a tip, but happy anyway. Was thinking Port might have made a good run at the 8, now not so sure.
Almost like the 8 is already dusted this early in the season.
Two Teams back - stuff the rest!!

What we can still do, and i
What we can still do, and i hope we do do, is have a big influence on the final make up of the eight. And maybe that started last night? Commentators saying it is very difficult now for port to make the eight.
I hope we keep making life very difficult for those in the eight. If we do its good signs for next year when we get some injured players back.
Last night was a reality check. A good indicator of where we are at. The previous wins were against very ordinary teams. Last night's win was a team hoping to play finals. Next week we travel to the MCG to take on the pies. Another reality check. Every game from here on in, is a reality check.
And i am liking what i see every week.

As Neels eluded to already I wonder how much influence Don Pyke had at the weagles last year maybe he should've been a keeper .

Playing with the ladder
Playing with the ladder predictor
And mathematically possible for Freo to make the 8, BUT a lot has to go right for Freo (win all games) and lots have to go wrong with either Bulldogs, Adelaide or West Coast.
Very unlikely looking at the draw, but you never know!!
