    Nah, not first up. NAB Cup form is usually a good indicator of a team's form for the first few rounds. Adelaide should continue to fire. Probably the safest bet of the round.

    I originally tipped St Kilda but I'm seriously thinking about changing it to Port, they really are looking alright so far.

    Don't think we're any chance against West Coast sadly.

    Not suprised opposition fans are writing us off already.

    North V Essendon has the potential to game one of the matches of the round but I cant see us losing tbh.

    Yer but you need the ball to win.

    Their rucks > yours
    Their mids > yours
    Their forwards > your backmen.

    Their mids are on par with ours
    They have one decent forward and the rest of confidence players imo.

    I don't say this much, but please go. Please.

    Goldstein and McIntosh is one of the best ruck duos in the competition.

    Ryder is great but only on occasions, and Hille looks immobile more often than not. Bellchambers I like as a tap ruckman but offers next to nothing around the ground.

    Yeah, probably wasnt my best statement.

    Goldstein and McIntosh are pretty fuucking decent. Add Petrie in there as well.

    Going to be a decent match, thats for sure.

    Port Adelaide to beat St Kilda.

    That wouldn't really be an upset...

    Fucked if I know how Carlton are favorites to beat Richmond. Id have the 1.40, 2.70 odds the other way around. Richmond should be favorites to win that and will win IMO
    Shutup. If I wanted too I could come down there and beat you like a rented mule, or a mule for purchase. Bottom line is if there is livestock involved, ill beat you like it
