Must admit though that Freo dug their own grave. Had they converted at a better rate - and we know they can! - the game would've been over by the end of the first quarter. As it turned out, Port got their act together in the 3rd, and the Dockers lost their self belief.

Not the result I'd wished for, but nonetheless a great game.

Update after Round 2. A very entertaining finals series so far!

It doesn't take a master tactician to work out that the Hawks will start fast next week. Look out if Port are thereabouts at half time. What a story they are this year.

Yes, it was a great weekend of footy, thanks, Logique.

This week -

Sydney v North Melbourne on Friday.

Hawthorn v Port Adelaide on Saturday.

I wonder if North Melbourne can go the whole way.

I forgot to predict last weekend, so my picks are :

Hawks V Roos

Hawks V Roos

Roos to beat Sydney ?

He's coaching Melbourne now.



A very brave prediction there.

Half the Sydney side would have to go down with the flu to go down to the Kangas, so

Sydney, Hawthorn.

Missed last weeks but I probably would have got both games wrong anyway.
Sydney to win comfortably this week and Port to cause and upset.

Heading over for the prelim.

I'm a cats man but I've been going to all the Power games with my parents and good mate since 1997.

Hoping for an upset win

Couple of cracking matches last weekend though, so much more relaxing when your team is not playing

 

[Tink]

If only it was Melbourne, though Paul Roos is a great coach.
Hopefully in the next few years.

Agree, Miss Hale, always easier watching when it's not your team.
We have a household of Melbourne and Carlton, and have had neither of late.

I would like to say North Melbourne, even with Harvey coming back, but I think it may be -

Sydney
Hawthorn

Both will be excellent games.

Thanks, Logique.

A step up in class this weekend for the underdogs, as impressive as they've been.

Can't go past:

Swans
Hawks

 

[Miss Hale]

My tips for this week...

North
Hawks

 

[Logique]

Progress after Round 3 - hoping it's a predictor for next week

 

[SirRumpole]

And now for the big one,

Sydney

 

[CanOz]

And now for the big one,

Sydney

Go Swans!!!corn:

What a great game between Port Adelaide and Hawthorn.
If Port hadn't kicked so many points would have told a different story.

Very entertaining. Well played by both.

Yes, now to the big one, Hawthorn v Sydney.

 

[Tisme]

Did someone put some vallergan the Hawk's water bottles? If they play like they did Saturday the Swans will steam roll them, with only Buddy on the field!

 

[Tisme]

Robbie Gray in with a chance tonight?

 

[SirRumpole]

Robbie Gray in with a chance tonight?

I like watching the games but I avoid award shows like the plague. I wouldn't have a clue who will win whatever they hand out tonight.

 

[Miss Hale]

Don't need to think about this week's tip

Hawthorn
