My pleasure REB - No double after beating us you need the confidence boost!!!! lol

Fri 02 Jul
TD* Essendon v Kangaroos - Kangas will repeat the dose of the last couple of years and win by 8 points.

Sat 03 Jul
OO Carlton v Sydney - Swans will make it 6 wins on the trot against the Blues.
MCG Collingwood v Hawthorn - Hawks to actually play for four quarters and win.
Gabba* Bris Lions v Richmond - No contest really.
Sub* West Coast v Geelong - Geelong get the nod as they have a pretty good record over there and haven't been playing too badly.

Sun 04 Jul
YP St Kilda v Port Adelaide - Saints should win comfortably.
TD W Bulldogs v Fremantle - Fremantle easily
FP Adelaide v Melbourne - Adelaide just

Fri 02 Jul
Essendon v Kangaroos - Essendon
Sat 03 Jul
Carlton v Sydney - Sydney with too much to play for.
Collingwood v Hawthorn - Collingwood to smack the bitch up.
Bris Lions v Richmond - Brisbane by however many they like
West Coast v Geelong - West Coast to win in a the close one
Sun 04 Jul
St Kilda v Port Adelaide - Saints by plenty.
W Bulldogs v Fremantle - Western Bulldogs easily
Adelaide v Melbourne - Melbourne in honour of G Ayres

Bombers V Roos - Essendon, very hard for Roos to match up on the Bombers top 5
Blues v Swans - Sydney play OO really well and Carlton will really miss Sideshow
'Pies v Hawks - Collingwood just
Lions v Tiggers - Brisbane, the Pride to bounce back at the 'ttoir
Eagles v Cats - Geelong full of confidence and busting to get back on the ground
Saints v Power - Port to play man-on-man and beat the Kilda in low scoring game (esp if lots of Tassie weather about)
Dogs V Docks - Freo comfortably, WB thinking about their week coming up on the Sunshine Coast
Crows v Dee's - Melbourne like Geelong, happy to be playing, Adelaide counting the weeks

The Bird has left the nest

Bombers V Roos - Roos because essendon are the new graham hicks, flat track softies who rely on 1 bloke nearing the end of his career and give a contract to a coach bordering on dementia.
Blues v Swans - Sydney easily
'Pies v Hawks - Collingwood by 15 goals, the peroxide mob are a bunch of sheilas trying to imitate footballers, hopefully by this time next year hawforn may have merged
Lions v Tiggers - this could be a record result, ill go for 140pt if the lions could be bothered
Eagles v Cats - Catters are flying, the eagles are soft, so ill go for the eagles??
Saints v Power - Depends which gameplan chocko brings, should be a cracker, port to win
Dogs V Docks - Who cares
Crows v Dee's - Adelaide in an upset,

DONS - in the 'Battle of the Barometers' should just edge out Roos

SYDNEY - little has gone right for Carlton in their fortnight off. They replace two linch-pins with two handy players but the Swans are nearing full strength

PIES - crap v crapper, bad v downright ugly, not much chop v no chop at all

BRISBANE - will give Danny a full and frank report on how smart his decision was

EAGLES - just a feeling in me bones, plus the Cats can't go on forever

POWER - Saints still not convincing v Orks, Power are building momentum

DOGS - at home, but little else to recommend either side

MELB - Same hunch as Jase but not game to back it

REB’s Round 14 Rubbish

Kangaroos by 16

This match will tell if the Roos are a good side or whether they will be pouched this September. I reckon the Roos can make the eight and will therefore account for the Bombers who can’t beat the good sides. The Roos look solid in defence and have some good midfield runners, something that worries the Gliders. Sheedy to be ducking marshmellows by evening’s end. The Bomber thugs will do their ‘Friday night wrestling’ routine but will foolishly target Archer…who’ll run straight through them.

Sydney by 38

With O’Loughlin and that Irish guy bagging goals from row G at Craptus Oval, the Bluebaggers minus big red and the shaggy forward are in a touch of strife here. I reckon things might just go pear-shaped for Pagan’s boys after the break just like last year. The Blues have improved but Sydney will have too much skill. The Swans have won everyone’s admiration by ending the Pies year and now they can further endear themselves to the great unwashed by ending Carlton’s resistance. Lawrence Anguish will be controversially selected the Blues but will be once again delisted after a brilliant performance for stealing the show.

Collingwood by 41

Collingwood will prevail in their weekly blockbuster, the ‘DILLIGAF’ cup. Hawthorn are the best side going around without a midfield, defenders or forwards but hey a few players might just be a good idea. Holland has been dropped so the finger in the dyke approach has obviously been shelved. Eddie will have his calculator out by the end of the night and this match will tease the bogans that their team still has a sniff but by next round they will be needing the tissues for a different purpose. Peter will cry yet again but Mr Dicker will thoughtfully Schwab his eyes for him. Hey, they’re the family club…

Geelong by 20

The Catters have been getting closer and closer to that elusive interstate win and the week off was a timely interlude to reduce any swollen heads after the successful Lion hunt at Cat park last round. The big Cat King will be back and with no Michael to tend the gardinner, Geelong can go west young man with confidence. There could be some match up problems down back for the Cats as ‘the wrong’ Matera is probably not the right fit for Harley or the shaggy defender but it could be time for Monica to shine. The E-girl’s defence is ordinary and the Catters will kick a winning score.

Brisbane by 106

You will die a terrible terrible death. No that was our last caller, no wait..You will die a terrible terrible death. Sorry Tiges but the kiss of death will be your only backer this week. Tiger fans will be saying ‘how about that two week break in the middle of the year’ because they will be wanting to block this match from their collective memory. DVD sales of this match will be down because it will be rated R due to the murder that is about to take place at the Gabbatoir. Be afraid. Very afraid.

Port by 21

Reappointed coach Mark ‘Sucked in Scotty’ Williams will win the mind games by instructing his players to carry umbrellas with them to Tasmania for St Kilda’s annual away from the DomeAss fixture. Just as well because the safety records of some of these newer domestic airlines leave a lot to be desired. St Kilda still look good on paper but we all know what happens to paper when it gets wet. Port are getting a few back and the Power doesn’t get cut off till September so expect a Port victory here. Tredrea to give the Saints a bath and the weather to give them a shower.

Fremantle by 27

This is a toughie because Freo away is as dodgy as the Bullies at home. Last year the Dockers had a day out at the DomeAss against the Dogs and seeing as I have no idea who will win this game, I’ve made my tip based on that fixture and the fact that the Dockers have won a lot more games than the inconsistent Dogs. While losing to the average Dockers at home will be a bone of contention for the fans, Peter believes the side is on the Rhode to recovery. That’s why he’s the lowest paid coach in the league folks!

Melbourne by 22

Neil is not the messiah, hell; he’s not even a naughty boy. He got out of cycling once he heard the boys were up in arms about drugs. Craig has come over all tough and giving the Cows the needle but we in Adelaide know that is the players who run the show and most of them are happy enough to take the two flags they already have. The Demons are hungrier, have a better ruckman and have plenty of run in defence this year. Coach Danihurt has the boys ticking over nicely this year and word has it that he’s planning to hide the calendar from the D’s next year in case they notice that it’s an odd numbered year.
