Sporting shorts - Feb 25

It’s now the end of February which means that it is almost time for the football season to start.  The Women’s AFL Season has already started for the year. We’ve seen four games for the year, the Kangaroos (debuting this year), are sitting 3-1 and leading their pool. The other pool sees Geelong and Brisbane level with two wins each.

I’d love to see Geelong win, given Sydney don't have a team.

Onto the Men’s competition. I find the pre-season hard to gauge a teams’s  form.  AFL – X is not really close enough to the normal game, and when we had night time premiers the form line rarely held in to the regular season. Time will tell though. I’d love to see see a pre-season competition, though I understand the risks involved; which to be fair, are involved.

So, with very high risk for egg ending up on my face here is my top eight predictions:

1 ROOSTERS
2 RABBTIHOHS
3 BRONCOS
4 PANTHERS
5 SHARKS
6 KNIGHTS
7 DRAGONS
8 RAIDERS

The team most likely to upset my tips is the Melboure Storm or the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs

And for the AFL

1. RICHMOND
2. MELBOURNE
3. KANGAROOS
4. HAWKS
5. BOMBERS
6. CROWS
7. EAGLES
8. CATS

The team most likely to upset my tips is the Western Bulldogs or Port Adelaide.

Again, let me just say I’m not totally sold on my selection. It is the joy of sport, anyone can and often does win, on the day.

On to the big Big Bash – next year I am keen to see the competition run half the time a game played each night until Saturday and Sundays where there are two games.
