Since when do we trust Jurno’s before Jeff.
Jeff Kennett has found himself in the middle of a dispute relating to comments he made on the Duty of Care of a country footy club. He was asked to mediate and issue between a club and a trainer that they sacked after it got out in public that the trainer was bi-sexual. Instead of me going through the issue again here, I have decided that the easiest way to get the story on here, is to share some email communication I had with Patrick Smith of The Australian.

Rumor or PR: Ablett Injury more serious then first thought
Rumor is spreading that Brownlow favourite Gary Ablett Jr has a worse injury then first thought.Betting agency first suspended betting and then moved his price from under $2 to over $2 (TAB Sportsbet has him at $2.20). Read more
Molly’s Tips for Round 16
Here are my tips for Round 16. I may change these during the round so don’t take them as gospel. Use them at your own risk (tips in bold):
- North Melbourne vs Collingwood: Going Collingwood but if you are after a roughy for this week, North are the best of them
- Geelong vs Western Bulldogs: You lose Ablett and Ling and still have Kelly and Prismal come in and David Johnson, Ryan Gamble and Shannon Byrnes as emergency. This should be a ripper!
- Richmond vs Essendon: Some good outs for Essendon, will really miss McVeigh. Richmond showed they can cover Richo. Should be close.
- St Kilda vs Hawthorn: Rewoldt has to play close to goal to put the pressure on the Hawks defence. All eyes will be on Buddy early to see if he has his kicking boots on. Bateman is a huge in for the Hawks. Could be a late change, with Lewis named as an emergency
- Brisbane vs West Coast: Brisbane has too much to lose. Look at Browny for Dream Team/Super Coach captain this week
- Carlton vs Sydney: This is a toss up. First look would have Swans easy but Carlton are on the rise and Sydney haven’t beat any big names this year. Could go either way.
- Port Adelaide vs Adelaide: This should be a ripper. They hate each other but the Crows have too much to lose. Watch for Goodwin and Thompson to play forward more this week.
- Fremantle vs Melbourne: Your guess is as good as mine. Let me give you a lesson. I am picking Fremantle which is your queue to pick Melbourne! I can never get the dockers right!
Best of luck with your tips
