I like David King, he's reliable. You can set your watch to him.

Before every big game he describes how we'll lose, and afterwards he explains why we won.

Sounds like he's got the core skills to be an economist

Why isn't North chasing King as their new coach?

I love the Roar and their articles are generally well thought through so I am really bemused by their tips for the granny.

They have all gone for the cats but it is clear their views are not really based on objectivity but as their first expert - Stirling Coates says - and I like his honesty - is that he is barracking for Geelong and wants them to win, not who he thinks will win.

I think everyone is wanting, hoping the cats will win.

What made me laugh though, is for last weeks games they (there is 3 of them) collectively got 1 out of 6 correct.

I loved this quote from their article -
“The thing with Richmond is when they begin to play on a knife’s edge, they become their most dangerous and are so good that no-one is a chance of stopping them. Their work rate around the stoppages and centre clearances against Port Adelaide in the prelim was elite, and not to mention they boast one of the best finals players in Dustin Martin.” - but still tipped the cats :clap2

Not to mention the Geelong Footy Show on Nine last Sunday.

About 5 minutes in total on the Tiges. Unfunny deadbeats laughing at each other with puerile injokes.

On the other hand, The Front Bar is a winner!

I generally like the Roar, but I’ve stayed away this week because it is full of Cats supporters and Richmond haters. I’ve also found the near continuous accusations of alt ids and stuff that invades every comment thread quite tiresome.

That show will be like a morgue if we get up.

All the "experts" are tipping against us again...

Amusing to see the reaction on 360 when Max Gawn refused to buy into the Cats wankfest and committed the unpardonable sin of tipping the Tigers. Slobbo was on it like a seagull onto a hot chip, angrily demanding that Max explain his reasoning. Mincey giggled in the background.
