General footy chat Round 3: just other games.

Could be an enjoyable game tonight. Geelong are short priced favourites, probably because Adelaide haven't won at Geelong's strangely shaped ground since 2003, but I suspect that Adelaide are the better side. So it might be a fair bit closer than the odds suggest.

The final game of the round between Carlton and Melbourne might also be entertaining. Not that I think either side are likely contenders, it's more that seem sort of evenly matched, lower half teams.

Actually, now that I think about it, Adelaide have Dawson, Walker, Ah Chee and Laird out, so maybe that's why they're long odds? Although, Dangerfield is out for Geelong.

The media fascination with the ESS v Norf game this weekend is hysterically morbid

Adelaide getting thoroughly shafted by the umpiring.

Hard to know who to go for tonight, when I'd prefer to see both teams languishing in lower table obscurity. I suspect that the Daicos love from the commentators will have me going for the Giants, but I can’t see myself getting too enthusiastic.
