Looks to me Sportznut,that we are running the same ratings program.

Here's my tips.

Essendon 12
(Stay home all,and pull up your armchairs)
Geelong 29
(includes bonus of 12 for Fremantle being ******** and penalty of 6 for not going on with it last week against the Tigers)
Brisbane 61
(Boy are they gonna be ANGRY)
Melbourne 6
(How do you factor in a death in the family?)
Port 44
(does not yet include the penalty the Dogs will incur for having a happy coach.NOT.)
Adelaide 38
(Terry Wallace doesn't start till next season)
St.Kilda 18
(Anyone at St.Kilda got heart problems?)
Eagles 38
(includes a 6 point bonus for Chris Judd chasing Brownlow votes)

Agree with you about that query on the Swans game. Will they be more determined this week or will they simply not be able to concentrate fully on the game?

Well I gave The Bulldogs a bonus last week for the coach being sacked.Trouble is the coach was discontent big time and apparently coached accordingly.
It seems Sydney's demise last week was not due to the demise of their elderly coach.
But funerals and depression are very lacklustre affairs.2 goal penalty for the Swans.

The whole Coach sacking thing only really works if he's replaced immediately. It doesn't seem to make any difference if they stay in the job until the end of the year.

Seems you are stating the blooming obvious there sportznut :smile:

Tell that to Moeee then. He was the one that gave the Bulldogs a bonus last week, despite the fact their 'sacked' coach is still there.

Lions -17.5
West coast -17.5
North Queensland -5.5
St George -5.5
DIVIDEND $3.37
Cheers
