Muli bet as follows:

$102.40 on a total of 4 legs @ $2.60

After Collingwood’s capitulation last week against the Lions my balance is again looking a little flat, despite Sydney saluting with a 19.5 point start. This week I am throwing caution to the wind to hopefully boost my bankroll again and get back in the black.

The justification of my bet

The Bombers showed what they are capable of last week with a stirring win over the Bulldogs and now face off against Sydney at the SCG. The Bombers always seem to play well against the Swans and despite missing lanky defender Dustin Fletcher through suspension I feel the Bombers will come up trumps or at the very least die trying. Injury to two key Swans in Daniel Bradshaw and Tadhg Kennelly will also inhibit the Swans chances of stealing a much needed win.

St Kilda's Mr versitile Brendon Goddard should have a belter against the Tigers this weekend

Despite a moral boosting win in the wet last week Richmond will not be good enough to topple a dangerous St Kilda outfit. The Saints have shown that, despite popular belief,  Nick Riewoldt is not the be all and end all of the Saints game plan and they have adapted well without their spearhead forward. Expect Brendon Goddard to get plenty of the ball and the Saints to win comfortably.

Geelong make the trip west to take on West Coast at Subiaco and should get the 4 points in a high scoring and entertaining game. The Cats have had a good run with injuries of late with defender Matthew Scarlett’s hamstring the only recent concern at the club. Jordan Jones broke his fibula in last weeks game and will miss the next few rounds for the Eagles. It would be good to see the Eagles keep pace with Geelong for a bit but ultimately you know the Cats are going to come out on top.

In what looks to be the match of the round Collingwood take on the Western Bulldogs who will be looking to make amends for their poor performance last week. With loudmouth Jason Akermanis missing from the Bulldogs they can finally concentrate on doing what they do best, playing entertaining footy. I think Collingwood will bring home the 4 points but just to be on the safe side there is no chance of them going down by more than 6 goals.
