Hmmmmm..... whatever happened to those Maggies..... it was as if they were a different team..... must have been abducted by aliens during the week who performed cloning experiments on them and released the clones back to earth so to be beaten by the Swans. Or it must have been the lunar eclipse, there is a lunar eclipse happening today......
But seriously the Maggies are a better team than that..... so I am still going to pick them next week against the Lions....
Trouble this, this result is likely to bump me out of the top six since no one else will have picked the Maggies since they all hate them. Also my points variance is out the window since they lost by such a high margin, that alone will see me out of the top six even if I somehow manage to score the same points as everyone else in the top 10. And the first three games are likely to be unanimous tips so any upsets there will likely to affect everyone else the same.
Firstly the Port and Puddy Cats match, everyone expects the Puddy Cats to prevail though perhaps not so one-sided, also the Puddy Cats will want to bounce back after losing to the Maggies, no teams like to lose to the Maggies!! Next are the Weavils and Giants, and well everyone is biased towards the Weavils so will probably all pick them, and well they are playing the bottom team so its hard to imagine anyone picking them Giants. And then the Saints and Western Bulldogs, and everyone will expect the Saints to prevail.
The last two matches are not so clear cut, so if I have any chance to redeem myself, I will need to pick correctly those two matches. Carlton and Brisbane, and well it is at home with the Lions and they are playing pretty well so a Blues win is certainly not assured. They be slight favorites but no real surprise if the Lions prevails. And then the hapless Bombers against the Tigers. With even more turmoil in the Bomber's camp this past week, it will either spur them on to play well and win the match, or it could have so utterly devastated them that they will fall into a heap. They have been faltering after a great start to the season, they almost let the Giants beat them, and has been basically downhill since then. So I would have to toss the coin to pick a winner there.
So will I be kissing the top 6 goodbye.... well I guess it will depend on the lunar eclipse..... ;)
