based on anything or just a gut feeling?

They have some big names out, Scarlett, Ling, Johnston, Ottens and i reckon the rest of them will be still sore from the saints game.
Brisbane can play well, its their home ground, just think they will get up.

Good logic.

Would be good to see, although I just don't know if Geelong is bad enough to lose two on the trot.

Exactly.

Whilst Al's reasoning has merit... and Geelong will be sore from last, week - they're pride will be even more sore IMO.

Now that we have discussed it, I bet you that I don't change my tips and Brisbane gets up.

Thank you Murphy and your law.

Go the Tigers!

almax · Post by **almax** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:48 am

Some of the panalist on the footy show last night were also tipping the same, with Scarlett out who will stop Brown and Bradshaw? Geelongs forward line is struggling at the moment too with Johnson out and Hawkings not up to scratch, Mooney is a confidence player and that took a bit of a hit last week. In the middle, their best tagger Ling is out and ruck Ottens. Will be a good watch.
Even though my team is doing shithouse (to say the least) im loving footy this year!

Feigan · Post by **Feigan** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:51 am

It's bloody fantastic, best game in the world.

Very good reasoning Al - you have my vote.

I'm changing my tip.

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 1:52 pm

yeah you are swaying me too Al. tough one

actually there are a few tough ones this week. hmmmm

tipping against Hawks for second time this year, even though tipped to win. not sure how we are though

Feigan · Post by **Feigan** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 1:55 pm

Hawks are done for the year....

playing for draft picks now

sad - but true.

Feigan · Post by **Feigan** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 1:59 pm

sorry hawks supporters, that sounds harsh.

hope things do turn around.

Late mail: Ablett is out too.

Righto, I'm with Brisbane.

just read that aswell.

They must have copped a hiding last week (injury wise)

almax · Post by **almax** » Tue Jul 14, 2009 2:28 pm

for my next prediction, i tip that the Hawks will actually beat Collingwood this weekend!

Feigan · Post by **Feigan** » Tue Jul 14, 2009 3:36 pm

Whoa there nelly.....

easy does it.....

That's almost too big.

but - in trusting form, I will acknowledge and tip for this upset.

well played last week Al - good pick up

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Wed Jul 15, 2009 6:18 pm

Obliveus and I went to the game, was tres awesome, especially when Didak had his meltdown and got dragged, OB and I were up off our seats yelling abuse at him haha

Carn Hawks!

hmmm what shall be my next prediction....stay tuned, wish i could say Hawks over Geelong

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Mon Jul 20, 2009 1:33 pm

Al you are the prediction master!!!!

what a game! I was jumping around my loungeroom getting all excited. Buddy was on fire, so was Hodgey and Ellis was going great guns, as was Cyril, oh man awesome to watch!

i got 7 tips and i managed to go down two spots with my work comp, wtf??? not fair!

still holding 3rd place on here though.

Kind of lucky you're a Richmond supporter.

Shithouse second half.

Throw just one of Cousins, Cotchin, Richo, Brown or Bowden into the mix and it would have been a win IMO.

well, GAblett may be out, seems he strained his injured calf again at training yesterday, Steve Johnson is also in doubt, he has to have a fitness test to be included in the game and even if he does, he may not be up to his usual blistering form.

I wait and hope.

well played Al

two cool points for you this morning

kronz · Post by **kronz** » Sun Jul 26, 2009 4:56 am

OMG i can not believe how good that game was!!!

I cracked the shits at 3 quater time, so i went and got a pie.

Then i think the CATS pick up on the pie, Mooney (tits on a bull) went into the ruck and i think i saw some of the best football ever!

BOOMTOWN MORTHERFUCK!!

Go CATS

shepherd · Post by **shepherd** » Sun Jul 26, 2009 3:33 pm

the Geelong Hawks game was awesome. Shows how much can change in football in 30 mins

At 3 qtr time many thought the Cats were exposed and the Hawks would really play a role in the finals with a late season streak

30 mins later the Cats have pegged back a 28 pt deficit to show they are far from a spent force, and the Hawks finals chances were over.

Still think the Hawks might be able to take the Saints at Aurora ....

almax · Post by **almax** » Mon Jul 27, 2009 9:19 am

Geelong didn't win that game, Hawthorn lost it (sound familar

)

but yeah heart stopping game, Young Kennedy should have had a kick at goal instead of passing it off to Franklin who then got gang tackled, Roughead too was dissapointing.
On the other side, Selwood is just a gun, much more influential than Ablett on the day. Well done cats, hopefully we will see you again in the finals, which we are still a very good chance of making with Essendon losing yesterday, we need to beat Port in Adelaide this week and Saints in Tassie will make it easier, hopefully we will see some big names back soon too like Croad and Dew to help us with that task.
Carn Hawks, don't give up yet

And RIP to the bloke who died from falling down the stairs at the MCG, horrible.

obliveus · Post by **obliveus** » Mon Jul 27, 2009 9:38 am

Just saw that a guy died from that fall...what a way to go. RIP!

Great game, but yeah, dissapointing.

We're far from a spent force, which is good to see.

Shit week of tips for me though...over!

Feigan · Post by **Feigan** » Mon Jul 27, 2009 10:23 am

Shep!

good to see you pop up in here.

I didn't get to see too much this weekend, and I didn't want too after the Blue's demoralising loss on Friday night.

7 out of 8 though....

not bad.

witty_pseudonym · Post by **witty_pseudonym** » Mon Jul 27, 2009 10:56 am

Geelong v Hawthorn was the first time i'd been to a game in over 10 years and holy shit! I could almost become a fan. Talk about tense...especially being with a bunch of Geelong supporters and next to the biggest bogans and raspiest vocal freak i've even seen. Def a Corio resident.

Cracking game. I was nervous as fuck and I couldn't really care less about football.

Would go again. Good times.

Direkt · Post by **Direkt** » Mon Jul 27, 2009 11:10 am

Cun Ties!

Tiger cubs looked the goods yesterday... Cotchin (superstar in the making), Edwards, Tambling, Vickery, Post, Nahas, Polo and Daledio are the future of this club. Whilst there's still a shitload of improvement to come, the signs are looking promising. The Tigers play a much more exciting brand of footy under Rawlings, I reckon he's in with a good chance to get the gig next year.

Can't believe the spanking the Blues got on Fri night. They actually had more inside 50's than the Pies.

And Haw v Geel, great game. What a finish! And that bloody female commentator was the worst I've heard for some time.

Hey is for Horses.

but yes - we got spanked.

lay it on - we deserve a spray after a game like that

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Tue Jul 28, 2009 11:40 pm

oh man 5 tips, dammit

WOOHOOO to Hawthorn though, oh man its good when they are playing like absolute guns

Kronz i was thinking of you absolutely sweating it watching the game too lol

good to see Buddy getting form back

Feigan · Post by **Feigan** » Wed Jul 29, 2009 10:19 am

I hit 7 this week - at last.

Only tip that let me down was my blue boys.

(Spiesy - do not change that to Blue Balls)

looking like a good solid finals series ahead which is great for the game!!

Can't wait to see him lay some tackles.

Bloke is reported to be on $750K next year... outrageous money... Gold Coast have taken quite a gamble on him, gonna be interesting to see how it plays out.

Cun Ties! Richo back in the magoos this week - might make it out to Coburg to watch the big man fly.
