AFL Round Preview Round 19

Tom Wills round kicks off tonight with the Dees vs Cats, what could be a better way to celebrate 150 years of Aussie Rules Football than watching 1st vs 16th at the G. But wait! This game could be much closer than you think! It has a been a wet, windy and cold day down south, and if the Dees are lucky the gods may spill a bit of water to make it just that bit harder for a Geelong goals onslaught. We all know Gary Ablett is back, and should provide some of his usual brilliance, although he may not get as much game time. Gazza’s Doctor DJ Dream Team Points Scoring Analysis Prediction- 108

Carlton and Port are taking it to The Dome on Saturday. a must win game for the blues if they want to play finals footy, but something in the enclosed Telstra Dome air tells me that they might have to work hard for it. A port upset win wouldn’t surprise me, but then again the blues should be able to handle the matter. Watch Kane Cornes in all his brilliance as he powers on his way to a juicy DT score, Doctor DJ Dream Team Points Scoring Analysis Prediction- 119…

Aurora Stadium and all of it’s loyal tassie followers will be enjoying the sights when Hawks play Lions Saturday. Aurora is home for such big DT scores, you could nearly say its a ’performance enhancing oval’. Hawks midfield’s and flankers will definitely enjoy the occassion I would expect some beefed up scores, especially by one Sammy Mitchell who should cruise through the lions army. Doctor DJ Dream Team Points Scoring Analysis Prediction- 124

In probably what’s Match of The Round, The ‘G’ might blow on Saturday Night when Pies and Saints collide. After a tumultuousweek down at the Lexus Centre, the pies will have a point to prove, and even though they might not have Didak and Shaw, expect others such as Dane Swan to perform well. The score predictor likes Dane’s chances. Doctor DJ Dream Team Points Scoring Analysis Prediction- 127. One thing that is for sure is that neither team will go down without a fight in a clash which could have a great impact the final top 8.

Sydney take on Freo at the SCG saturday night in what could be an ugly affair DT wise. Whilst the swans do score well in DT at home, dont expect much from the dockers. Docker’s regular big scorers such as Pavlich…and that’s about it, may not see as much of the ball as usual. Doctor DJ Dream Team Points Scoring Analysis Prediction- Combined DT Total for Fremantle, 72 points.

Super Sunday kicks off with a ‘cracker’ in the Roos and Doggies at the dome. This game many weeks back now was one of the matches of the season, best known for Brad Johnson’s pointer after the siren to give the doggies their first loss of the season. The dogs don’t like getting beaten, and they showed that to the Swans last week after a loss to the blues. The roos do a job in shutting down alot of DT guns, but one who might slip under the radar due to his average form of recent is Robert Murphy. After a stunning first half this season, Murphy has dropped off his early pace, expect some form this week. Doctor DJ Dream Team Points Scoring Analysis Prediction- 104.

In another game which could have a major affect on finals this year is Adelaide vs Richomond. The crows had a thriller of a win against the blues last week whilst the tigers felt a thumping sensation as they went down to the cats. Johncock returns this week after his recent club suspension, and from what I have heard he has been training like a machine. Doctor DJ Dream Team Points Scoring Analysis Prediction- 91.

The final game of the week, in this Round 19, Tom Wills Round, First week of Dream Team Finals, The Eagles host The Bombers. This same game at this same location was the one which saw two legends of football, Hird and Sheedy leave the grand stage. The match looked likely to be a smashing before a miraculous bombers turn around which nearly saw them come home with a win. This game could yet be another close one, it also features arguably this years best two ruckmen, Dean Cox and David Hille going head to head. Brent Stanton who has had some big scores recently could produce again.  Doctor DJ Dream Team Points Scoring Analysis Prediction- 109.
