round 2 preview
st kilda v collingwood mcg thursday night.
are the pies title defence alrady over doubtful but a loss here could make it hard to recover with a couple more tough games ahead st kidla were unlucky last week but hadn’t won at geelong in 25 years but don’t have much mcg experience so the pies should bounce back.
tip collingwood
adelaide v geelnog adelaide oval friday night
the crows will want to recover and play four quarters at home should get the job done against the cats who are inconsistant. tip adeliade.
north v freo marvel stadium saturday afternoon
freo got off to a good start but should be a bit nervous here as north stunned them in perth last year still the dockers should build from their confident boosting win. tip freo
hawthorn v melbounre mcg saturday twillight
some years ago the hawks had the domination of melbourne now its the reverse having only drawn with them once since the hawks last finals game (a loss to melbourne in 2018). and its unlikely to improve despite being a hawks supporter i won’t tip them for the blog (but will in personal tipping comps). tip melbourne
sydney v essendon scg saturday night
travelling to sydney is going to be hard for anyone this year and the dons won’t get the job done there. tip sydney
bulldogs v gold coast mars stadium ballarat sunday afternoon
hardest game to pick of the round as the suns havent’ been tested on the road and the bulldogs will want to bounce back and i think at ballarat they just might. tip bulldogs.
richmond v port mcg sunday afternoon
ports first test of the year they should pass despite the tigers playing well last week. tip port
west coast v gws optus stadium sunday twillight
can the eagles keep their home record against the giants intact maybe they did beat them last year when the giants were one point short of grand final and west coast finished last but it won’t happen again. tip gws
