Monday Night Footy - Roos v. Bombers - Your Thoughts Here!

One thing that has become pretty obvious especially this season's Round 1 is that preseason form means absolutely nothing!

Stack these two lists side by side and honestly the only way the linemakers have come up with such a line has to be based on the Bombers very respectable NAB Cup performances.

Shinboners for me as well HoH will gladly lay the 5.5 points in this one.  

Too many unknowns here, particularly with Essendon. With Lloyd and Lucas up and going and that potentially explosive run through the midfield Essendon could take this one. And the Kangaroos are a team that could come out and lay an egg here. Kangaroos probably deserve favouritism but there isn't a whole lot that sticks out as a reason to back either side over the other.

Also it is probably worthwhile nothing pretty much every pick I have seen on this match is for the Kangaroos, who have done nothing but firm in from what was a 1.90 pick-em early in the week. Richmond were the other heavily-backed side, starting the round with a victory for the punters. Will the round finish in the same way?

Just one thing to keep in mind. I think all new coaches have been beaten so far this round. That might mean something..

Be interesting to see what the Dons spit out. Lloyd was critised last year for being to unselfish and playing up the ground. What will he do as captain ?

Total is interesting too. Got to try figure out why something with such a low spread has a 208 total especially as we know Blues D is quite good and their are lots of newbies in the Dons team.
