So many 50/50s this week.

Surprised to see Brisbane only just beat Melbourne, thought it'd be a thrashing.
Bulldogs should be able to get a big win over North, but it'll be a good test to see where North's really at.
Sydney are definitely favourites but Freo just have the vibe that they might cause an upset. I don't think Freo are going to go deep in finals but I think on the right day they can stand up to the toughest teams.
GC/Collingwood is a coin toss, GC have been pretty solid at home though.
Crom/GWS is also kinda tricky, I think GWS will get it done but not by much.
I don't trust Geelong not to fuck it up against Essendon, but anything could happen.
Neither St Kilda or Port look great at the moment, I can forsee a close but ultimately boring game playing out with Saints maybe sneaking a win, idk.
Carlton should pants Richmond.
Lastly, Hawks are still the favourites but I'm really hoping Eagles get up. It's the best team we've fielded possibly in three years. Hawks are red hot right now but I just feel like they must be due to drop a game, they've just had the bye, and this is their longest travel all season. If we can grab a win I can forgive the Saints/North games. If we lose with this team, Simmo's gonna be in hot water again.

Just a heads up. Your comment took 7 days to federate. There is an ongoing issue between aussie.zone and lemmy.world. This reply will probably take 7 days to reach you.
