This weekend's footy: the Dockers v the Cats, and the Blues v the Crows
April 25th 2008 05:02
Tonight, Fremantle will take on the undefeated Geenlong at Subiaco. Fremantle has only won one game this season, beating their companions in the West, the Eagles, at Subiaco. The last time these two teams met was in round seventeen of last season, and the Cats overwhelmed the Dockers by sixty eight points. This year the Dockers have only won one game from five and sit fourteenth on the ladder, while the Cats are undefeated and are number one on the ladder. The Dockers have always been the team with the bodies to win games, but without the heart beats to keep them moving, and I think it would be far too chancy to call an upset with Geelong. Geelong should win by at least fifty points.
On Saturday afternoon, Carlton and Adelaide will go head to head at the MCG, a blues home game. The last time they met, Carlton went down to Adelaide by nineteen points in round nine of last season at the Telstra Dome. This year, both teams are doing well, Adelaide coming fifth on the ladder with three wins and two losses, Carlton coming eleventh with two wins and three losses. Carlton has won their last two games, against Collingwood and Melbourne, which might be an indication that they are ready to turn around their recent poor slump. Although I don’t think Carlton has developed enough to make the top eight this year I do believe that they are a strong chance for an upset against the Crows. I think the Blues will overcome the Crows by a small margin, perhaps one or two goals.
