GWS play a few games in Canberra a year, particularly at this time of year when their ground is part of the Royal Easter Show. Hobart, Launceston, Darwin, Ballarat, Cairns, Alice Springs also host games through the year with different teams selling one or more games to cities without a full time AFL presence.
Like North this week. Todd Goldstein is playing his 300th game. This is a huge milestone game for the Roos being only the 6th player to play 300 games at the club. Roos will lift for this one. Good value at 3.35.
@@RobReacts1 On observation guys, I think you'll find that the Gold Coast Suns will be one of the 'most improved' team's by the end of the season ☀️☀️☀️
What's good about Aussie Rules (AFL) is the big unpredictable scoring. A stark comparison with Soccer (Football) where so many results are NIL ALL or 1 NIL with extremes of 6 + 4. No wonder they have to fence fans off. [ps. 1. Manuka (in Manuka a suburb of Canberra ACT) and is pronounced "MARNICA" in Aussie English. 2.Sydney stole South Melbourne Swans. 'Bloods' 3. The Public Holiday in all states is ANZAC DAY-> 'Australian and New Zealand Army Corps'.]
Manuka Oval is a sporting venue in Canberra, the capital of Australia. It is located in Griffith, in the area of that suburb known as Manuka. Manuka Oval has a seating capacity of 13,550 people and an overall capacity of 16,000 people, although this is lower for some sports depending on the configuration used.
Had me going there ,Rob for a minute when you said 2 matches on Monday, then I realized Essendon Collingwood is on ANZACDay Tuesday, so corecting my previous comment. As a Blues supporter, we differ on one pick this round, go Blues
I only missed 2 (close) last week, not bad, getting easier! This week - Port! Brisbane! Geelong! Hawthorn! Saints! North's? Melbourne? Collingwood! Sorry Swans! ☺️🧐🤔
I am impressed with your bookmaker odds calculation 4/9 for Collingwood , spot on, well done, i dont think too many punters will remember the old bookmaker odds going at the course, do they still refer to these odd in England ? cheers
the one thing we have to consider about Adelaide, is that they do not have a great record in Tassie, the ground the Crows are going to be playing at, they have only ever won once. But that being said, I think the Crows will probably win this game, I think it will be close. Crows by at least 10 points.
Gosh! This is the first time there has been just a one game difference between you and me. Well I’m backing Essendon as I most often do (except regrettably last round) against the odds. I think the difference between our tipping so far has been the appreciating of the team game as against the star game. I had my worst round yet last week, but at least I correctly predicted you’d do well. I’d hoped my first 3 roughies would get up because I thought we were still in the “any thing can happen” rounds but I have plummeted as a result.
@@RobReacts1 there’s a lot of blokes on the field and that feeds into a dynamic that can be disciplined but could also be disturbed by what’s going on elsewhere off field. I try and take note of that because I think it’s important but also because I can’t claim to understand all of the dynamics of the game, not having played it and only watch as an entertainment, so I make the most of what I know. I’m doing better than you so far, and many others, - but considering you don’t get the goods on Sunday and thru the week, I think you are a great tipper that will beat me in the end.
I'm browsing through prediction videos and surprised to find so many people thought the Swans would beat Geelong at GMHBA, including this video. I assume it is people's desire to see the Cats fall from a cliff finally. A solid 94 point thumping is what the Swans got
I think Geelong over Swans as it’s at their home ground that they share with no other team. Before the VFL morphed into the AFL circa 1980 all teams had their home ground that they shared with no other team, so had a real advantage when playing at their home ground. Now most of the grounds are shared, esp in Melb you can have two teams playing at their home ground. Geelong is the only Vic based team, that still retains the true home ground advantage.
I watch NRL. Been doing weekly tips on rounds for a while now and am a moderator on an NRL game stream channel that I found thanks to you talking about Cardman. So cheers for that Rob. I now mod an NRL stream and I wrote the rules for chat and moderators for that channel. And i Love doing it cuz I love NRL and also, Up The Mighty Broncos! 🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴
Also, its the 150th Year Anniversary of my St.Kilda F.C. (the Mighty Saints), as you may not have picked this up yet. New Head Coach Ross Lyon who took us to Grand Finals in 2009 and 2010 and return of Legends Lenny Hayes, Robert Harvey and Brendan Goddard to the club in assistant coach roles, with the first two having some years experience in these roles since retirement and former Geelong Premiership player and defensive coach Corey Enright rounding off the coaching panel, though he arrived before last season. Also its the 30th Anniversary this week when Saint Nicky Winmar stood up against racist taunting from Collingwood fans at their ground back in 1993. An iconic photo of him raising his jumper on the ground and pointing to the colour of his chest has been a symbol of the fight against racism against indigenous first nations people and others ever since. An apology ceremony at the old Collingwood ground occured this week and the last Sunday game was dedicated to both Nicky Winmar's and teammate Gilbert McAdam's stand back in 1993. Our 150th Year Celebration game was the Saints v Bombers game three games ago at the G. Just thought I'd share this with you, as it also gives you some context on the Saints sudden rise or promising start to the year. Cheers, Neil 🙂
Quick Summary 24th of April is ANZAC Day Eve and Richmond and Melbourne play each other every year on ANZAC Eve and the Day After the 25th of April Collingwood Play Essendon ANZAC Stands For Australia and New Zealand Army Corps ua-cam.com/video/k6_ik5XLSxI/v-deo.html Here is a video which gives a quick summary of ANZAC Day and only the first minute and a half is about ANZAC Day
@@RobReacts1 sure.. against the cats on the road 🤷♂️ I get it though, I’m not blaming anyone for tipping them. I can see where they’re coming from. Game can go either way, both teams have so many reasons why they could win
I’ve observed that you call our grounds “the Optus” or “the Metricon”. Here we just say Metricon or Optus or Marvel. It’s only the MCG and SCG we put ‘the’ in front of. That’s not a criticism, just an observation.

ANZAC Day matches on Monday. (Actually 25th for ANZAC day) Collingwood & Essendon traditional. Big day for us Aussies

Yea quite possibly. It is a game that could go either way but the roos need to find something
@@RobReacts1 On observation guys, I think you'll find that the Gold Coast Suns will be one of the 'most improved' team's by the end of the season ☀️☀️☀️
Hawks have a good record in Tassie. It's a big ground. I reckon Hawks might have a win here.

Collingwood always play Essendon on Anzac day, it's a traditional bloodbath, well it was when I used to go.
Rob, you've dropped the ball here mate. The Collingwood v Essendon match on ANZAC Day is the second biggest game of the year.
I knew Anzac Day way coming up but I lost track of days

These are my tips 😊

Adel

Melb

Round 6 is named ANZAC ROUND
You show no mercy against the team you don't think are good haha. Not to mention the 14 or so injuries we had
Haha
I only missed 2 (close) last week, not bad, getting easier! This week - Port! Brisbane! Geelong! Hawthorn! Saints! North's? Melbourne? Collingwood! Sorry Swans! ☺️🧐🤔
Rob Hawthorn plays well in Launceston. Have won 21 in a row there previously. It will be close with Adelaide
Manuka pronounced
Man a car.
@Whatthe That’s much better
I don't think you can rely on previous stats for the there and now.
I assumed it was pronounced like the honey
@@RobReacts1 Rob on the scale of things it means nothing
I should not have written it
I realise it's ANZAC day coming up but I completely lost track of my days! 😁
8:13 no that is not wrong, the giants play home games 2 or 3 times a year at the manuka oval
I am impressed with your bookmaker odds calculation 4/9 for Collingwood , spot on, well done, i dont think too many punters will remember the old bookmaker odds going at the course, do they still refer to these odd in England ? cheers
Yea we use fractional odds here
And I must say, some of the games are so poor for odds. Like one team this week was 1/50. Bloody pointless
the one thing we have to consider about Adelaide, is that they do not have a great record in Tassie, the ground the Crows are going to be playing at, they have only ever won once.
But that being said, I think the Crows will probably win this game, I think it will be close. Crows by at least 10 points.

It's mainly because I'm a swans fan 😅
Geelong(GHMBA) and Hawthorne (University of Tasmania) have some of the strongest home court advantages in the league
I think Geelong over Swans as it’s at their home ground that they share with no other team. Before the VFL morphed into the AFL circa 1980 all teams had their home ground that they shared with no other team, so had a real advantage when playing at their home ground. Now most of the grounds are shared, esp in Melb you can have two teams playing at their home ground. Geelong is the only Vic based team, that still retains the true home ground advantage.
The Swans have beaten Geelong at home more often recently than any other team.
Hope you’re right about the Crows, but we don’t have a great history in Tassie. ❤️💙💛
History means nothing 😉
Geelong easy!
Good tips

i know .. did swans show up at all?
Monday is ANZAC Day Rob. It would be a good idea to do a reaction on ANZAC Day a day before or on the day.
Im losing track of the days!
Tuesday is ANZAC Day
I stand corrected. Monday 24th is day of the two ANZAC DAY footy matches, but yep, Tuesday 25th is actually ANZAC DAY. Cheers 👍

No, ANZAC day is Tuesday but they always have an ANZAC Day eve game now with Melbourne and Richmond.
Fremantle and Geelong similar to my picks by margins!

waiting for their wheels to fall off could be this week
