Comments please feel free to add your margins
tigers by 15
i think it's very 50/50 i'm leaning towards the Suns
Tigers need to make the most of their fixture this year and this game is a must. Richmond by 23
Tigers by 7.
Most important match of the round. Gold Coast need to start beating the higher rated teams to be a finals contender while Richmond must win and win well to prove they are a contender. Richmond by 18 but this is the game outside of my Bombers I will be watching closest.
Not overly confident about this game at all to be honest.
Richmond by 15 but it could honestly go either way
I'm overconfident, and I'm disgusted with myself for feeling like this because I'm normally very cautious of feeling like this.
Tiges by 30.
Should be a cracker of a game. Will really tell us where these teams are at. Tiges need to win these to push towards top 4 and the Suns would like an early scalp to start working towards their first finals series.
Think the Tiges by 20.
Looking forwards to seeing the yellow & black boys out on the park again, and can't wait to see what our newer boys have to bring to the table!!
At least we're not in Cairns this year :P
Taking the Tigers by 8, close game I think. Ablett will play a major role in the outcome of this one, with no Jackson (who earned 3 votes on Gaz last year) it'll be quite the task in shutting him down.
Huge danger game in the scheme of things we need to win to bring confidence into the Carlton match up as everyone knows we struggle against the Blues. Going into that game on the back of a loss, especially after being favourites would definitely not be ideal.
Tiges definitely need this one.
Close but Tigers by 11 pts.
Cotch to star.
Tigs by 33
GC SUNS @GoldCoastSUNS 17s
Queenslander Clay Cameron will make his AFL debut this Saturday night against Richmond: http://bit.ly/1fUN
Tiges..only because JRoo will be wanting to bust out a big one. Will be worth watching the game just to see how he fires after all the pre season baloney.. :o
Harley Bennell has a calf injury apparently
Yep being assessed tomorrow

Harley Bennell out with an injured calf.
GC Suns have revised their team for rd1 v Richmond. Tim Sumner comes into the 22 and Andrew Boston now an emergency player.
Did anyone put Sean Lemmens into their team?
Think the Tiges will take the chocolates here in a shootout. Tiges by 17.
I think it'll be a ripping game, Tigers by 12.
Richmond stacked their forward line with big guys knowing that a couple of the GC tall defenders are out, good call IMO.
Yeah it will be interesting to see how Clay Cameron, Steven May and Warnock deal with Hampson, Vickery, Griffiths and Riewoldt...
Hampson to kick 12 and rack up 80 hitouts 8)
Would not complain ;)
But the Suns to win by a point :P

Having all those big forwards kinda makes me worried about McDonough being the sub, if Hardwick was being pedantic about replacing a forward with a forward.
Would complain :P
Danger game for the Tiges they need to hit it hard from the first bounce if they do that they should get over the line
left this game out of my Multi
I picked the Tigers but wouldn't surprise to see a Suns victory

Final teams #AFLSunsTigers - No changes. Subs: Sumner (@GoldCoastSUNS) and Foley (@Richmond_FC)

Foley the sub as expected. Hopefully Madonna has a big game 8)
Yep, no surprise in the Tigers choice of sub. Twas expected.
McD not the vest!
On the ground, stat!

Woohoo McDonna starts! Go son!
Wishing I started him instead of Rohan now >:(

Only got Dusty and Matty Shaw in this one.
Vlastuin!
brilliant goal there
and again. Jaeger 8)
Tigers looking a bit shell shocked. Suns showing good pressure, like the pies last night but not missing.
Jack Martin looks to have hurt his collarbone.
Martin subbed out
Good I didn't pick Martin :)
Martin :'(
That'll hurt a few.
Mum's decided she needed to pick a few things up on the way back from church and I'm missing my boys play... :'( -_-

Car radio doesn't work and even if it did, she wouldn't let me. >:(
Morris coming off now with a possible shoulder injury
GAJ and Cotch aren't doing too bad :D
Swallow plz
hahaha ;)
I'd love the suns to win- it'd be a perfect start to the season.
Tigers to lead at the end of the next quarter but lose the match would be great

If Gaz gets 140 I'm still happy with my Beams choice.
Dixon has concussion. Will take no further part in this game.

Cotch's ordinary SC is due to his poor DE of 40%.

Why the flower was Griffiths subbed off? He was my emergency over Langdon and was spewing about it up until tonight and now he gets subbed. ::)
Will win money either way as long as GC don't win by 40 +
Sounds like there are more Tiger fans than Suns fans there :o
C'mon Tiges, get up and then put 'em away.
LOL BT, has to mention Assumption College every time possible lol
Missed the first half because I had basketball but this is frustratingly nerve wracking. We are being so wasteful this fourth quarter :(
Chappy you idiot >:(
Swallow is destroying it at the moment.
Up to 124SC
Score a goal Tiges...
What score Swallow if he was kicking straight? Looks good. Sh!t I better shut up, don't want to jin....I mean, nothing...... ::)
RICHMOND YOU FLOWERING USELESS TEAMM AND I THOUGHT THIS WAS GONNA BE A GOOD YEAR WELL THANKS YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING BUNCH OF OVERPAID GIRLS
GC really do seem to be Richmonds bogey team
Well. It's looking like my gamble of Vlastuin over Swallow was incredibly poor...
Fire up Tiges. :(
Happy with Hampsons score for the free hit this round! :)
Carlton better loose
Geez I wish Deledio didn't have the rd8 bye. Had him from the start last year and 558k was such a good price for him. Oh well, cant get them all right
Where's Ellis?? Why did I pick him for supercoach?
Wow umps dont pay martin a free for being tackled 20m out around the neck but if Gary abblett ducks into a tackle i supose he deserves one eh eh eh stupid umpires

Definitely a bad call but we didn't deserve to win from there anyway. It would have given us a sniff but Gold Coast deserved it. We were shower.
Ablett C , Swallow and Martin :) :) :) I might have a beer
pretty annoyed was unbelievably close to starting Swallow was in and out all pre season but chose Hansen instead :'(
Swallow 135 (!), Gaz 140, Cotch 118, Dusty 102, McD 45
Pretty happy with that
Show some love for Matty Thomas 120 SC nicely done.
GOLD COAST!!!!
That is one into the tips, GWS the only one wrong so far but I don't think anyone saw that one coming.
It is going to be brilliant next round when Richmond start 0-2

I have actually tipped Port (http://content.boards.philadelphiaeagles.com/public/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
Port are a really underrated side this year, but Carlton will beat Richmond in round 2

Every time the Tiges have played up at Carrarra/Metricon previously Dusty, Ellis, Vlastuin + more have worn gloves, I'm assuming because it would be a bit slippery up there.
Yeah, humidity.
Yeah thought that would be pretty self explanatory lol..
