Great to hear. An inspirational man.
 
Good to see Melbourne playing better even if it's only practice matches so far. Would like to see them do well this year (but not too well ).
 
Jonathan Brown has retired. Just in time I hope...how many more horrific head injuries could he sustain? The future of the Lions has suddenly become more bleak.

Champion player and bloke. One of the few 'characters' left in the game now that it has been sanitized and scrutinized to the nth degree.

The Lions were in trouble before he left, this would of been his final season anyway, and probably 1 too many if we are honest
 
Hi Logique,

Just sending out a reminder that it's that time of year again soon, The Finals

I am not sure if you are interested in doing the Finals Tipping again this year, and how many others are interested, no pressure though.

Just thought I would bring it up, and see what you and others thought.

Thanks
 
No worries Tink, happy to run it again.

The potential first round in 2 weeks time will be something like under, but Freo vs Port on the weekend will have a big bearing on it. Here in NSW we won't see this game on FTA tv (not happy), instead we'll get the Giants game.

Admire what the Tigers have done, but can't see them beating us up here, even at the sand track (ANZ).

Possible first week:
Swans vs Freo
Hawks vs Geelong

Essendon vs North
Port vs West Coast
 
Good to hear, and thanks, Logique.

Yes, will be an interesting last round before the finals.
 
Final 8 settled a little earlier than expected with Richmond's win over Sydney putting the others out of the race!

Looking forward to anther cracking finals series
 
Sydney losing at home against Richmond?
Disgraceful!

Could it inspire Fremantle next weekend? Will be interesting, to say the least...

Was a bit disappointing, although obviously Sydney were off the pace to avoid injuries.

I'm a Sydney fan, but on their day Hawthorn is a match for them. If those two play in the GF, and I really can't see any other alternative, it will be a cracking game.
 
Well done Richmond! It was a great match to watch.

For mine Hawthorn deserve Premiership favouritism. All those left-footers, their disposal is incredible. Also Port are well capable of winning from 5th place.

Confirmed first week match ups - tips by Friday 7pm please:

Hawks vs Geelong - Friday night
Swans vs Freo - Saturday afternoon

North vs Essendon - Saturday night
Port vs Richmond - Sunday afternoon

I'll lead off:
Hawks
Swans
Essendon
Port
 
Thanks, Logique.

My tips are -

Geelong
Sydney
North Melbourne
Port Adelaide
 
Greetings all:

Geelong to beat Hawthorn
Freo to beat Sydney
Essendon to oust North
Richmond to oust Port.

Brownlow? If the umps can get over his tatts, Dustin Martin.

Regards,

P
 
Geelong to beat Hawthorn
Sydney to beat Freo
Port to beat Richmond
Essendon to beat North

Brownlow I'm hoping for a tie between Ablett and Selwood.
 
After Round 1, progress is:

Well done Sir Rumpole getting out to an early lead.

I was getting excited in the third quarter, but Essendon couldn't hold on.

Next weekend it's:
Geelong vs North on Friday night
Fremantle vs Port on Saturday night

Not easy games to tip!
