Round Six – “In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.”

The COLLINGWOODS and the Bombers as per traditionality.
In theory this should be a pretty even and highly entertaining game.
In Practice the Pies best players will be on the field while some of the Bombers best players will be in the grandstand watching.

SAINTS play Lions. In theory on last weeks form the Saints are a shoe in.
In practice, it is in New Zealand so I dunno ??

FREEO in a toughie with the Kangas. Both teams have a 60% win loss record.
In theory Kangas beat Swans and Swans beat Freo, so Kangas should win this easily
In practice however the Freeo are very tough to beat at the Patterson.

SUNS to whoop the Giants ostensibly. In theory Suns preferred but are oscillating. WLWLW
In practice GWS have a much better percentage and have the forward power to kick a 100 points to win.

Carlton must run and gun against the EAGLES if they want to win.
In theory the team with best defence wins, in practice Blues concede 100 points every game so just attack.

Dees play the SWANS. In theory the Swans will win easily, but did get a flogging from GWS.
In practice the Deess are getting better under the ex swans coach and could surprise us.

Bulldogs and ADELAIDE. In theory the Crows easily even with their Dangerfield players down.
But in practice the Doggies have extra speed and may upset the cart apple.

TIGGEERRRSS to flog the Hawks but not by much.
In theory Hawks a dead cert, but in practice a hard game + a 6 day break + Tigers beat hawks last year ??

PORT may just beat the Cats. In theory the Cats are undefeated so are favoured to win.
But in practice a big win can be followed by a let down, and Port have an extra recovery time.
This is the game of the round.
