ATAR Notes Footy Tipping and Discussion

Mhm. Good fight back from us in third, but hard when ur vs'ing 25.

Example: Benny Brown marked at least 2 that should have been paid but weren't.

That screamer he took that wasn't paid was just about the saddest thing I've seen.


EDIT: he tweeted this a couple of hours ago:

Class act. Really impressed by that.

He's a genuinely great guy - seems pretty well educated as well tbh. Definitely a favourite (hard not to love when he comes in and wins you finals in his 10th game lol)

That is classy, considering if was clearly a wrong decision. Great to see!!

EDIT: Jeez, I hope Redpath wins his challenge at the tribunal tonight. I just can't fathom how Greene got off for kicking Dahlhaus in the face and yet Redpath got a two-match suspension for an open-handed push to the shoulder/throat. Fuming.

EDIT: Guilty. This is a load of crap.

Right team won.

You can't just let a team kick 3 unanswered in such a tight contest during the final term, especially when there's a lot on the line (e.g. finals)


In terms of finals - I think the top 6 are safe. 7th and 8th (Melb and WCE) aren't. Sneaky chance: Dons + St Kilda (although I would lean towards Essendon more).

Best of luck.

P.S. Dunno why you're nervous, it's not like Melbourne has a history of losing important matches ;)

Thoughts on matches for this weekend? Who will make finals and who will win the all-important 'spoon match'?

Personally, I think Melbourne and Essendon will sew up their finals spots, and North will beat Brissy to avoid the spoon.

Also, I reckon GWS will roll Geelong to book a home final, and we won't have a single Week 1 finals match in Melbourne... :(

I actually want to lose. We've stuffed up the season already so may as well get something out of it (pick).

Nah Brisbane are gonna roll us. We'll go into the game without Goldstein, and probably without Pruess as well. If that happens, we will get absolutely steamrolled.

(If they play, probs 50-50 shot)

Edit:

Seems like Goldstein will come good. I reckon we'll have Pruess, Ziebell, Neilson as outs - with Ben McKay to debut in defence (He's played most of the VFL season as a forward... just fyi). #camraynercomeatme
