A few upsets last week and many a large margin too, except for the draw of course. This week I will also be incorporating the weekly tips. Rankings shaper game of the week: This week has a certain sort of top 8 versus bottom 8 feel to it. There are a couple of games from [...]

Ok, so last weeks attempt at predicting the final ladder ended in a major failure after the first game of the round, throw in a couple of upsets and all my theories went down the drain. Richmond will not make the 8 now and could end up below the Eagles this week. Anyway, reverting back [...]

Another week, another set of questions to be answered. The Brisbane Lions showed that they probably were a flash in the pan with their good start, but things have started to unravel now. The Dockers are now proving that they can win anywhere and are performing well. The Saints dropped a game they were expected [...]
