Ok guys, here it is. Cats (Geelong) V Dockers (fremantle). Enjoy the write-up :highfive: Fremantle’s fantastic start to the season should ensure a close-to-capacity Subiaco Oval for the round three clash between second and fourth on the ladder. After tearing Adelaide a new one in the opening round, a new-look Freo chalked up its first Victorian win in three years last week when it took out Essendon. Still, it hasn’t beaten the Cats at home since round 5, 2004 and has lost seven straight against Mark Thompson’s side. Geelong, also undefeated after two rounds, will have 24 hours less to recover after a bruising encounter against Hawthorn on Easter Monday. The reigning premiers however again showed hunger isn’t a problem as they clawed back from a four-goal deficit for the second straight week. The Cats beat Freo in the west during the pre-season and - having won their last six matches at Subiaco by an average margin of 52 points - will be confident of maintaining their record over the men in purple. Fremantle tagger Ryan Crowley didn’t endear himself to Geelong supporters at Skilled Stadium a couple of seasons back - or to Gary Ablett’s teammates - with his close-checking tactics on the Geelong superstar. On Sunday Crowley can again expect a run-with role on the Cats’ maestro - who is eager to atone after what he felt was a sub-standard 38-possession game last week. Shannon Byrnes has become a crucial element of the Geelong forward line. His emergence from fringe player to genuine danger man has been all the more important given the early-season absence of Mathew Stokes and Travis Varcoe. Byrnes also likes the open spaces of Subiaco, booting a career-high five goals against Freo on this ground last year. Aaron Sandilands has been in dominant form in the opening two rounds of the season. Can Brad Ottens and Mark Blake curb his influence and allow their star midfielders first use of the ball? Fremantle’s young guns have been terrific in the opening fortnight of the season but Geelong’s bigger bodies proved the difference against Hawthorn last week. Will the lighter frames of Barlow, Hill, Morabito and Ballantyne cope with the hardened Cats? In conclusion suspensions and injury have closed the gap. Should Chris Tarrant’s ankle not be right it will hurt Fremantle, while Matthew Scarlett and Cameron Mooney are out for the Cats. It is likely to again come down to the middle. Sandilands’ influence will be critical, but Geelong’s band of elite midfielders might just get it home... My pick here is geelong -6.5 (-108) risking 2units..GL here guys and lets collect some cash from this :pink2:

Please enjoy this preview :popcorn: Both sides remain undefeated going into Saturday's game despite being pushed in the opening two rounds. The power blew a 40-point lead the last time these two teams met and although they showed mental toughness to come from behind to win against the eagles last week this commentator feels as though the eagles lost the game more than the power had it won. Brisbane (lions) appear more imposing this year, with skipper Jonathan Brown and ex-Carlton spearhead Brendan Fevola combining to form the most potent goalkicking partnership in the competition. Port Adelaide's improved defence has not conceded 100 points in a game this season but Brown and Fevola, who have kicked half the Lions' goals this year, will put that to the test this week. Freakish utility Jared Brennan (suspended) is a big out for the Lions but a nine-day break between games could give the visitors an edge over the Power, who are coming off the toughest road trip in football, whilst Former Cat Jason Devonport popped up with four last-quarter goals to snatch victory for Port Adelaide last weekend. Davenport was also dangerous, albeit inaccurate, in round one with a return of 1.3 against North Melbourne and is a player who can ignite the Power with his gut running and tackling. Lions skipper Jonathan Brown is in arguably career-best form, having bagged 12 goals in the opening two rounds. The fearless forward has averaged four goals in his last four games against the Power and will prove a tough match-up for either Alipate Carlile or Troy Chaplin. Can Brendan Fevola continue his good form at AAMI Stadium? The controversial Lions' recruit had 15 scoring shots in two games at the venue last year, including a bag of six goals against the Power in round 20. Also, can Port Adelaide match it with a genuine finals contender? The Power have impressed in the opening two rounds with narrow wins over North Melbourne and West Coast, but will need to take their game to another level to conquer the Lions. In conclusion Port Adelaide gained enormous self-belief from the win out west and should be bolstered by the return of skilful midfielder Robbie Gray, whilst Brown looms as the Power's biggest threat. If Port can reproduce the defensive pressure generated in their first two games for the entire match then they will be off to their best start since their 2004 premiership season, however this previewer sees the forward pressure from the lions as being too much and its for this reason that im taking the brisbane lions +6.5 (-114) for 1 unit(betfair) GL guys and remember i only post my strong leans in the hope that we can all benefit from this :yes:

Ok ppl, Been looking forward to this match-up for a few weeks now. Thought id get this in early as aware not that many of us here visit euro sports gambling...Time to change this i think :moped: Lets get into the nitty-gritty then: Thus far this AFL season both sides are undefeated, but that could easily have not been the case had cellar dwellar candidates Melbourne kicked a late goal against Collingwood. This near miss will undoubtedly spur the Magpies but they are coming up against a side that is scintillatingly hot. Don't expect the Saints to let their foot off the peddle either after a 104-point victory, for they will want to be just as ruthless with the team they defeated in last year's finals. Scott Pendlebury was solid out of the middle last week for the Magpies but the entire St Kilda engine room was switched on, not to mention their captain and star forward Nick Riewoldt who did as he pleased against the hapless North Melbourne defence. The pies will somehow have to try and control Sam Gilbert, whose drive out of half-back last week was only matched by his work in marking contests and awkward ability to evade the opposition. He has steadily improved each year since his debut for the Saints and it is not impossible for him become one of the competition's elite players. So currently just how good is Collingwood? This writer believes somewhere between the side that defeated the Bulldogs and that almost got beaten by Melbourne, the Pies are still a few steps behind St Kilda. In conclusion the magpies (collingwood) are still getting their team together, particularly its defensive structures and just how best to use Josh Fraser as a ruck/forward. The Saints (St. Kilda) are a slick machine that has everything in place and should come away from this with the points. My wager here is for St. Kilda -17.5 (+104) x2 units as i believe they wil win this game by 30+ points...... This should be a beauty of a game...GL guys and happy wagering...

Note the question mark :) The Kings have been playing a noticeably tense brand of hockey since the olympic break... for a young team many of which have never fought for a playoff spot before, everyone has been holding their sticks a little too tightly and getting into their own heads. Tonight, for the first time in eight years, the Kings will be playing with a playoff spot already clinched. The players are really loose and excited, and I don't think they care all that much where they finish from 5-8; obviously they'd prefer 5, but they are just thrilled to have met their preseason goal of making the playoffs. Despite key injuries to Jonas Hiller and Ryan Getzlaf, the Ducks have been playing pretty damn good hockey of late, and even though they don't have much to play for (with their playoff hopes all but over), they'll definitely be up for a game against a hated rival on their home ice. That said, the Kings are the better hockey team this season, and with a decade's worth of playoffless angst off of their shoulders, I think they play their game and pick up the win tonight -105.

Whether you are familiar with this sport or not may i extend a open :handshake: and hope that you enjoy my preview of todays game: Ladies and Gentlemen i present to you todays salivating matchup between two of the potential top 4 end of year teams, its the mighty hawks of hawthorn vs the clawing cats of geelong: Hawthorn looked terrific in its season opener against Melbourne and with plenty of big names to resume - will only get better. Top flight players such as Lance Franklin and Chance Bateman, both back from suspension, start that trend this week, while Cyril Rioli is also a chance to return from a groin injury. His inclusion would add another dimension to the forward pressure applied last week by Campbell Brown and recruit Rhan Hooper. The Hawks’ defence looked settled for the first time in more than a year. That allowed Luke Hodge a greater influence in the midfield. Geelong began slow against the Bombers before running out its match surprisingly well. The reigning premiers finished with a head of steam as their top-shelf went into overdrive to set up the 31-point victory. The Cats are close to full strength despite missing a couple of smaller forwards who might usually get a game. Players such as Paul Chapman, Steve Johnson and the ever-improving Shannon Byrnes all looked in great nick in round one. But while their attacking influence will be important, one suspects the stopping jobs by Matthew Scarlett and Harry Taylor - on Franklin and Roughead - on the defensive end may be more key to the outcome. In conclusion there’s no doubting Hawthorn has the weaponry to win. On their day, the Hawks are perhaps the most dangerous team in the competition. But the big question is just how much action will Franklin and Roughead see against one the best backlines of the past decade? One can expect another ripping contest between these two rivals and a hard fought contest to be had and its for this reason my pick is 2 units on Hawthorn +13 (-115) betfair BOL with ur plays guys and please feel free to add comments/suggestions. Now lets make us some $$$ :yes:

4/5 1x Braves -125 1x Dodgers/Pirates u8.5 -110 1x Cubs/Braves u8.5 -110 1x White Sox/Indians u9 -110 1x Twins/Angels u8.5 +100
