Round 9 Preview Part 3
This is ASP, The Preview for Round 9 goes like this,
Sunday May 25th 2008
Two Teams separated by just the half-way line on the ladder face up at the ‘Gabba. Brisbane coming off a win against Carlton last week are looking in fine form, with big Jono Brown dominating up front. Simon Black and Luke Power continue to operate the midfield with optimum skill, a young up and coming defence is ever improving. While the Saints who have been struck again by serious injury problems, the men of Morabin have looked in contention for many seasons but have been let down continually by a dire Fitness and Conditioning department. Things are looking rosy for St Kilda, it’s the Lions here by and easy 35 points. Brisbane vs St Kilda Gabba, Brisbane ( 1.10pm )
Last time Melbourne played a No. 1 team the headlines all said percentage boost for the Cats. Come Game day, and wouldn’t you guess it the Demons put up a real fight leading for much of the day, even with flag unfurling in the background they were unfazed. Taking a lead at quarter time, they were eventually overcome by a matter of points. Will Hawthorn learn the lesson and go in with no contempt for the Demons. It should prove to be a very good game, while I along with many believe the Hawks can overpower the Demons, they should be taken seriously as they can play good football against quality opposition. Hawthorn by 10 points. Melbourne vs Hawthorn MCG ( 2.10pm )
Footscray and North Melbourne at Telstra Dome is the contest of two teams who are suffering with Membership and money in general. While Both continue to play good football they can’t survive forever in there present financial situation. Looking on-field the Roos certainly have the cattle on the park to be triumphant over the Dogs, while the boys of the West always competes well, and is never last at a contest. It just looks as if they don’t have enough Brad Johnson’s down front, leaving aside smiling faces they just don’t have the firepower to compete with North. Should stay close all day the Kangas her by a lazy 20 points. Western Bulldogs vs North Melbourne Telstra Dome ( 4.40pm )
This is ASP for Round 9, Hope all you teams play well.
