Nathan G. Brown?

What about him...

 

[cameeel]

Why melbourne? Why?

 

[cameeel]

Still no tips from Steds and Archie Mac, so they got the Crows, Dogs, Dockers and Magpies for today and tomorrow

 

[benchmark00]

Maybe as a real penalty people who don't submit their tips get 0?

Good match in the end, in terms of score at least.

The most frustrating thing with Melbournes behind the ball tactic is the fact that their forward line is one of the best in the league. So many options. Neitz and Robertson are a given but then you have Yze, Greene, Pickett and Bruce all rotating there. Bruce is pretty much a 'by neccesity' thing cause at the moment he doesnt have the fitness to run it out in the midfield.

I'd like to see Robertson and Neitz in the forward 50 alone, pickett playing a shallow forward pocket and just running fluently through there, that is unless the opposition drops massive numbers into the Melbourne forward line.

Having said that, it was a god showing by the Dees. Melbournes Nathan Brown is a gun.

An open forward line of Neitz in the square, Robertson roaming, and Davey instead of picket crumbing, sounds pretty good. With great kicks like Green, Yze and Bruce roaming in or around the forward 50, it looks much more potent then the crowded forward line they had today

Nah, just have no middle name, like Brett Lee. He can add an innitial later on in life, depending on his playing style...

Yeah i forgot about Davey.

Indeed, they've got speedsters and bulk, up there with the saints forward structure. Neil needs to get it right.

It's not like it's a money at stake comp, how bout if no tips are submitted by 30 min before the first game of the round, you get all the away teams, but your score is capped at 5?

Sounds good.

 

[cameeel]

Sounds good.

It's settled then.

Are there actually any other Melbourne supporters around?

In Australia? nah, i doubt it.

Had $150 on the doggies today. Food on the plate a plenty tonight.

Doggies vs. Cats next week, both missing key ruckmen (although the Doggies lost Giansiracusa as well late in the game).

Who you guys thinking at this stage?

 

[Robertinho]

Hmm, I'm thinking the Doggies. Both have good on-ball units but I think the Dogs will just run over the Cats. Tough call though, I wouldn't put money on it unless they were tasty odds.

I think they should get the lowest score that anyone else who actually tipped got. Fair enough, IMO.

 

[Burpey]

I think they should be burned at the stake, but apparently that practice went out centuries ago. Just give them the lowest score for the round.

Is it played at the dome? If so, doggies, by 4 goals.

Playing the most attractive brand of footy in the league.

So if you got 3, then they should also only get a max of 3?

It's a fair enough idea, but i reckon a capped limit of maybe 4 should be sufficent. Stil a 1 point decrease from the original suggestion.

 

[cameeel]

With the 4 point limit, Archie and Steds both got 4/8 for Round 3 (They have 5/7 at the moment)

 

[Robertinho]

Eh? No, I mean, say 3 people tip. Jono gets 6, Fuller gets 4 and Borcich gets 1. All the people that didn't tip get the away teams, but can't get higher than 1 (the lowest score recorded by someone who actually tipped). I think you mean you want to put a cap on how high that can be? If so, yeah, 4 seems good.
