Adelaide Crows 3 2 1 0 130 8 Collingwood Magpies 3 2 1 0 126 8 After getting up at 7am to watch five games of football at Henson Park last Saturday, I thought it St Kilda Saints 3 2 1 0 102 8 may be a bit too much to take in for one day - though what a fantastic day of football it was! The weather - perfect, the ground - lush, the food - tasty and the football - sen-bloody-sational! Now I Essendon Bombers 3 2 1 0 92 8 look forward to feasting my eyes on the First Division this weekend as well! Here are my thoughts Fremantle Dockers 3 1 2 0 91 4 fellow football lovers for this week’s games: North Melbourne Kangaroos 3 1 2 0 90 4 The Dockers were disappointing last week though they had a few shining lights which can hopefully bring them some wins during the year - the recruitment of Janis Blums, Troy Parker and 3 1 2 0 89 4 Daniel Napper has certainly bolstered the line-up though this week they will be no match for Richmond Tigers 3 1 2 0 82 4 UNSW/ES. The Bulldogs by 55 points. 3 1 2 0 75 4 Carlton Blues 3 0 3 0 78 0 The blockbuster match of the round has to be between the Bombers and the Demons - Pennant

LADDER AFL Hills were ultra-impressive last week by disposing of Campbelltown and reigning Premiers North Port Adelaide Power 3 0 3 0 75 0 Shore will be looking to atone for their slender loss to the Crows. Could go either way, though I’ll tip Melbourne Demons 3 0 3 0 46 0 the Bombers just on home ground advantage. North Shore by 1 point.

Western Bulldogs 19.11.125 def St Kilda 13.9.87 The Students this weekend venture to North Dalton Park in Wollongong to take on the might of the Lions and have the perfect chance to go 2 from 2 in season 2008. The recruitment of on-baller Hawthorn 15.12.102 def Nth Melbourne 13.8.86 Alex Lee paid off handsomely last week as he tore apart the Dockers, though the Lions at home Fremantle 12.15.87 def West Coast 10.13.73 will be a tough challenge with coach Jason Philp looking for his first win. I’ll have to tip the Students Sydney 13.10.88 def Brisbane 10.11.71 this weekend. Sydney Uni by 38 points. Essendon 23.12.150 def Carlton 21.8.134

Geelong 16.16.112 def Melbourne 12.10.82 Collingwood 18.14.122 def Richmond 11.12.78 The battle of the birds this weekend will be an absolute cracker of a match. The Eagles would’ve expected to win last weekend against the dogs and this weekend they will take flight with the

LAST WEEK WEEK LAST Adelaide 12.13.85 def Port Adelaide 11.13.79 Crows who will be no push over at Olds Park. Donohue and Shineberg have started the season Friday, April 11 well and should be able to get St.George over the line in a close one . St George by 11 points. Essendon v Western Bulldogs @ Telstra Dome Saturday, April 12 Wagener Oval this weekend will see the Magpies take on the Blues in a tough encounter. Wests St Kilda v Geelong @ Telstra Dome DESK THE BEHIND played well last week to touch up the Lions by 6 goals and the Blues were competitive till three North Melbourne v Melbourne @ MCG quarter time against the Demons - so can the Magpies win their first home game for the season? I don’t think so, the Blues will be too tough and hungry. Campbelltown by 24 points.
