Afl 2011

[SLED]

I hear you loud & clear Luke........a name comes to mind straight away..........KANE

And yes, bit sad that 'Craig David' cops all the flack for a dismal performance.........blame probably needs to be shared in all honesty

[writeoff]

I thought the Crows players were pathetic on Saturday. Craig had them structured well enough to get 5 goals in front. It's not like he then put on a Port jumper and starting kicking goals for the Power. Too many football fans are decades behind the modern AFL game.

if GCS are any chance against port i might chuck some money on it for the lols, but i reckon port could field a team of trainers & support staff and still win.

hawks are looking good, except they havent had a notable win *yet* so i'm reserving opinion till they play geelong,pies,bulldogs,adelaide,sydney. I think these are the genuine threat teams at this stage.

And im an Adelaide supporter, and would probably take the Crows out of the threat teams group! I think we still have a little way to go, top 8 definitely, but lets see just how deep we go come September

I was watching GCS play the demons on Sunday and they did alright for a team that has only played 3 games so far. They lost out in the midfield and when Gazza gets back this week i think they can well and truly cause an upset by beating the power. I am going to be definitely putting $10 behind them this week for the lols as the old man is a fanatic power fan

Hawthorn played Adelaide in round 1 and lost although it was a somewhat hollow victory for the Crows as they lost Porplyzia, Sloane, Mackay and Doughty for extended periods.

Adelaide's current injury list reads:

Ian Callinan (bicep) - indefinite

James Craig (hamstring) - 4 weeks

Phil Davis (shoulder) - 1-2 weeks

Michael Doughty (corked leg) - test

David Mackay (shoulder) - indefinite

Jason Porplyzia (shoulder) - indefinite

Sam Shaw (hamstring) - 1-2 weeks

Rory Sloane (thumb/jaw) - 2-3 weeks

Scott Stevens (ill) - test

Daniel Talia (achilles) - 2-3 weeks

Luke Thompson (ankle) - test

+ Jared Petrenko was seen walking around in a moon boot and was to get scans on his ankle today.

I wouldn't be backing the Crows against many opponents atm.

At this stage I rate the teams as such:

Collingwood

Geelong, WBD, Hawks

Freo, Sydney

Carlton, Essendon,

WCE, St Kilda

Adelaide, Port Adelaide, Melbourne, Richmond

North Melbourne, Brisbane

GCS

On another note my tipping is going ok with 6, 6, 6 & 5 but my Dream Team is ranked 24th from 271,000 entries and my Super Coach squad is ranked 126th from 366,000 entries.

[SLED]

I like you ranking system Dave but I'd be raising the Blues & Bombers up 1 notch to be at least on par with Freo & Syd............other than that, I'm betting that's pretty much how they'll finish up by August

[ISC-Performance]

Everyone writing off st kilda? Will finish 4/5 I think.

[Luciano]

^I picked St K for the win this round

I'm looking forward to watching the anzac day game, see what the bombers can do against the pies

[SLED]

Problem with the Saints is that they appear too reliant on a couple of key players and if they go missing, they're gone me thinks.......not to mention that Riewolt can't kick straight to save his life (unlike Buddy Franklin)

That will be the Bombers true test Luke........I keep thinking week after week that they'll fall over but they don't seem to be doing too bad.........must be the Hird factor cause the team hasn't changed much from last year when they played like little school girls

[Krishy]

I would expect the pies to rollover the bombers because of a few key players being injured in the Essendon camp.

On another note. Port vs GCS. Port are paying $1.03 where as the GCS are paying $12.50 lol

[Damo_R34]

worth a lobster on the suns youd think

[Krishy]

Well Port apparently play really badly after a showdown. So I am expecting this could be the Sun's first victory. Well worth the $5 i reackon

[SLED]

I'd be sticking a stack on the Suns if that is the case Krish

[Krishy]

I am happy if my $5 turns me a decent meal and a few drinks lol not a professional gambler you see

[Damo_R34]

Chucked $20 on GCS to win paying $13, you beauty!

I cant say too much about Port because they just didnt get their hands on the ball in the last quarter. Motlop should stop trying to f**k around with the ball, grab it and kick a goal. Gary Ablett, truly inspirational performance.

[heslo]

Hey Pete, how you feeling tonight? Did Port win today?

[Tommy Kaira RL]

Everyone that tiped the Suns to win need to take there winnings and take the Port supporters for a good drink.

[alr33x]

condolences port supporters..

i stil rate adelaide for top 8 long season still early and if they can do what they showed they can last year they are in the mix with carlton/essedon any day imo. (with a fit list)
