My Selections

8 0ut of 8 last week.

This week

Geelong over Essendon
Richmond over the Kangaroos
Adelaide over the Lions
Sydney Swans over St Kilda (an eight point game for the top four)
Port over Hawthorn (risky, Port are due for a bad game)
Bulldogs over Fremantle
West Coast over Carlton
Melbourne over Collingwood (optimistic again)

The Bomber Preview

This week Essendon are playing Geelong, who hopefully will be demoralized after losing against West Coast after seeming to have the game sown up. Essendon will have to improve a lot. One of the worrying things against Adelaide was Essendon’s lack of ability to win in the centre square and at bounce downs around the ground—this is critical in modern football. Another thing that Essendon must improve on is their kicking for goal from set shots—they have missed a lot of very gettable shots in the last two weeks.
