Margins
Geelong by 56 points.
Bendigo by 24 points.
Port Melbourne by 19 points.
Werribee by 78 points.
Sandringham by 12 points.
Box Hill by 22 points.
What odds on Claremont to beat Port Melbourne by 40 points plus?
I saw the side, doesn't look strong on paper.
Casey kick 5-3 to 0-1 in last quarter with the wind to defeat Bendigo by 3 points.
Casey 11-11(77) def Bendigo 11-8(74).
Casey go 1 game clear at top of ladder.
Funny how Port Melbourne have mirrored Melbourne Storm this year. They both had lost their first loss on the same weekend. They have both had some recent losses and have had their grip on the top of the ladder under threat. Port can regroup playing one of the cellar dwellers in the Northern Tools. Storm take on bottom place Parramatta.
Reckon both might start hitting their straps from now on.
Casey Scorpions record of close games this year has been incredible. Both losses have been by plenty to Bendigo Gold and Werribee. Most of the wins have been by narrow margins.
Margins
Geelong by 56 points. (won by 36 points) About right. Geelong too good.
Bendigo by 24 points. (lost by 3 points) Casey keep surprising.
Port Melbourne by 19 points. (lost by 51 points) Picked Port before I knew their team was full of reserves players.
Werribee by 78 points. (won by 24 points) Thought they win by a lot more.
Sandringham by 12 points. (lost by 5 goals) Roosters to good in the second half to sneak back into the eight.
Box Hill by 22 points. (won by 16 points) I was not far off the mark
Only picked 3 from the 6 games. Average tipping.
