P W L D % Pts So three undefeated teams sit on top of the Premier League Ladder after two Geelong Cats 4 4 0 0 159 16 rounds, the Demons, the dogs and stu- dents! More surprisingly though is North Hawthorn Hawks 4 4 0 0 156 16 Shore who haven’t registered a win in 08 Western Bulldogs 4 4 0 0 144 16 yet! Sydney Swans 4 3 1 0 159 12 Premiership hangover Bomber boys? Collingwood Magpies 4 2 2 0 112 8 Adelaide Crows 4 2 2 0 109 8 We all witnessed the return of the Sydney AFL First Division last weekend with some North Melbourne Kangaroos 4 2 2 0 105 8 classic matches on display in Round 1; UTS made the trip over to Weldon Oval to face last year’s pre- Richmond Tigers 4 2 2 0 102 8 miers Manly and came through with a gutsy win, Macquarie Uni impressed us all with a demolition of Parramatta, Penrith notched up a great win against their new rivals Camden and the Southern Sharks Brisbane Lions 4 2 2 0 97 4 disposed of the Nor-West Jets. A great first round for those winning teams and good luck to all this week- St Kilda Saints 4 2 2 0 90 8 end. Have a look at my tips below for this weekend, though here are my thoughts for this weekends Pre- Essendon Bombers 4 2 2 0 88 8 mier League matches: Carlton Blues 4 1 3 0 87 4 Fremantle Dockers 4 1 3 0 79 4 After the nail-biting win last week against the Magpies, the Blues finally have a chance to play on their home deck against the Balmain Dockers. The Blues were lead well last week and prevailed in a tight West Coast Eagles 4 1 3 0 66 4 contest - usual suspects Marty Rodoreda and Chris Lees were excellent, The Dockers on the other hand LADDER AFL

Port Adelaide Power 4 0 4 0 78 0 were simply outclassed by an impressive Bulldogs outfit, though Clarke, Officer and Napper had good a Melbourne Demons 4 0 4 0 50 0 match. The Blues at home will be way too good. Campbelltown by 45 points.

Last year’s runners up, the St George Crows take on the might of the UNSW/ES Bulldogs at Olds Park

Western Bulldogs 19.14.128 def Essendon 14.14.98 this weekend in what will a fantastic encounter - the dogs have had a great start to the seaon to be sitting top of the ladder and will also be pleased with Brad Abbott form - 14 goals from 2 games is a decent Geelong 21.10.136 def St Kilda 13.16.94 return! Though Crows have Dugmore also who kicked 5 on the weekend. In what will be a battle of the full North Melbourne 18.19.127 def Melbourne 11.13.79 forwards, I’m tipping the Bulldogs in a close one. UNSW/ES by 14 points. Sydney 16.11.107 def West Coast 5.15.45 Brisbane 18.16.124 def Port Adelaide 16.8.104 The Demons this will be at home this weekend to face the might of the Western Suburbs Magpies. Pen- Hawthorn 17.12.114 def Adelaide 10.10.70 nant Hills have impressed us all with a great start to the year after knocking off two worthy opponents in Carlton 17. 9.111 def Collingwood 13.10.88 North Shore and Campbelltown and this week they should easily account for the Magpies. Pennant Hills by 40 points. LAST WEEK WEEK LAST Richmond 20.17.137 def Fremantle 10.13.73

Friday, April 18 We go back to Gore Hill Oval this weekend to see whether North Shore can notch their first win of the St Kilda v Essendon @ Telstra Dome year or can the Lions provide the upset? Both teams haven’t had a win this year and it’s Saturday, April 19 guaranteed to be a tip top contest. Can Bartlett, Wells and Adamson get the Gong over the line? I don’t Geelong v Sydney @ Skilled Stadium DESK THE BEHIND think so. North Shore to notch up their first win of the year. North Shore by 19 points. Adelaide v Fremantle @ AAMI Stadium Brisbane v Hawthorn @ Gabba Sydney University and East Coast have developed a rivalry in only a year, the newcomers to the competi- Collingwood v North Melbourne @ MCG tion last year gave the Eagles a huge scare and this weekend’s contest will be a ripper.
