I wish the AFL would re-introduce State of Origin. Those games were always amazing!  |

OMGWTF I have only one tip right so far! How could the Clumsy Cats win in Subiaco? And what the hell were West Coast doing? They should have made mincemeat of Portly Port!  Come on Hawks, don't let me down now ... Richmond have never played at York Park; surely this must give us a good advantage! |

YES!!! HAWTHORN!!! To all those of little faith: The Hawks. At Aurora. Tigers never played there before. Hawks love the ground. WHO SHOULD YOU HAVE TIPPED?  |

Well, this is embarassing  I shouldnt have put my tips in at all. Great win by the Crows though ;D Top of the ladder! And I was in Melbourne to see it! We absolutely destroyed them! Mwa ha ha! |

I can't believe you tipped against Adelaide!  St Kilda haven't beaten anyone of any importance this year. (The win against Sydney would not have happened if it hadn't rained.) Where's your confidence? |

We were at the hotel with the team, there were HEAPS of injury scares for the Crows before the game, and we already have lots of injuries. Plus Roo's boots were left at the Adelaide airport (didnt seem like a good omen). The Saints usually play pretty well against us too. I was at the game though, and it was fantastic. The Saints couldnt stop us! And Stevens, who had been previously dropped by the Swans kept Reiwoldt (sp?) completely out of the game! I was in the lift with Stevens and Reilly and I was dying to say some something about the great game, but I didnt want to seem like 'one of those crazy fans'. Neil Craig went out of his way to talk to my sister who has a disability which was also great! |

I heard that he's prob going to a Victorian club, no particular club has been announced. There have also been a couple of Port Adelaide rumours. He'd fit in well down there, lol.

PORT ADELAIDE?  ?? NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! *goes into further mourning* I'll wear black to his last game for us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (btw i googled his name and found the article on the net, not on the afl website. I'm praying it's not true!!!!!!!!!! seemed pretty official though) *cries more* ohhhh!

There's also talk that the New York Jets or something have been looking at him.

All: That's nice. *pat Rilla on head*

I agree Rilla. I've never really liked him. I'd love it if he went to the US |

So; it's over the halfway mark of the season? Who will be in the top eight? Who will make it to the Grand Final?
I think the top eight teams are most likely to be (in no particular order): Adelaide, West Coast, Western Bulldogs, Collingwood, Sydney, Melbourne, St Kilda and Fremantle. Geelong and Port Adelaide might be an outside chance to replace the Saints and/or the Dockers, but the first six look pretty solid.
The Grand Final ... methinks Adelaide and West Coast.

I think that West Coast have dropped a bit in the last five or so weeks and will need to have a few really good games in the next couple of rounds for me to believe that they'll be in the grand final. They seem to have been dropping off lately. I don't know who I would replace them with though.

Me tipping the Swans was a bit of wishful thinking on my part I think. Sydney Vs Adelaide in a couple of weeks, should be a good game  |

I cant believe this thread got pushed onto the second page of Dining Hall, this is a disgrace! How could we let this thread get pushed off the first page whilst a thread about soccer still remains. Shame on all of us We must not let this happen again! |
