The Roar's AFL expert tips and predictions, Anzac Day Eve: Dees or Tigers to kick off the longest weekend?
i was hoping for a bombers, dogs and magpies trifecta, and I got it. Sadly no bet on it.
A rapid recap of AFL Round 6: Blues make a Giant statement, Magpies turn Power out and Eagles sink the Dockers
i like the fact that Don talks and bats for Freo. Wish there was more WA fans on here.
With their defence and a trade steal firing, the Cats lead the ladder. The next three weeks will tell us if they really deserve to
Don, Freo Dogs could be a good scrap. Is is time to get kayo again so i can watch it. was going to wait to A-League was over as i simply have too many sports to watch.

nice title, and interesting topic. Cats look pretty good at this stage but still early.

I think bombers can be competitive this time around. Apart from port game, which i did not see, bombers appear to be playing with a lot of grit. Hopefully a good start and a bomber win.
Questions to ponder ahead of Round 7: Can Stringer play hero on Anzac Day, and is Port's gun midfield actually their Achilles heel?
I like that idea. Fairness and rotation would be great.

tend to agree with article. Sport seemed to be so much better years ago, but maybe i am just getting old.
I was way more excited watching fa cup in 1970s and 1980s.
The FA Cup was once viewed as the pinnacle of English football - now it has been robbed of its soul
i followed united as a kid, but now i like seeing smaller clubs win.

i was hoping Coventry would win

pies v dons thursday is a great test for bombers. Will be tough, but here is hoping we can match the pies who played very well today after a slow start.
Footy Fix: The Pies might have embarrassed Port... but they're still not back to their best. Yet
I never thought we would be 4-2 after 6 rounds.
Footy Fix: Ferocious, fast and fantastically coached - stuff the controversy, let's give the Dons the respect they deserve
well done bombers. Hopefully we can beat pies next Thurdsay.

lobb played well
Footy Fix: The Saints were ten times as rubbish as the Dogs were last week - and it's worth working out why
Chanon, i thought we would lose to both saints and dogs so great to be wrong both times.

very true, reasonable consistency over the season counts.

Lions beat Dees well last week, so i think they might still be ok. Top four is key for any team come from finals time.
The data says Brisbane are a flag contender - but the eye test tells a completely different story
Hopefully another win for Sydney
The Roar's A-League Men tips and predictions: Round 25
Will be interesting to see how both teams finish up. I am just happy Dons have beaten both Dogs and Saints so far.

yep, i do not like bagging any players and coaches for similar reasons, I thought Sheedy was overrated, but he did do reasonably well.
Bevo won a flag and i suppose he will go when the payers stop supporting him.
I hope Dogs win tonite.
Luke Beveridge is on borrowed time - he's an inconsistent coach who gets inconsistent results
i liked the NSL and watching South Melbourne with my greek heritage mates.
Does the A-League have the clout to make a UK-bound event round work in season 2024/25?
i think the blues, but hard to write off an unbeaten team.
