2016 AFL - Round 8

[free at last]

New rules for a more attacking style of footy contributing to this?

Has to be a factor for sure.

Here are my totals:

Crows v cats 191.03 SB 198.5
Roos v ESS 183.03 SB 184.5
Hawks v freo 187.24 SB 169.5
GWS v GC 190.89 SB 196.5
Rich v Syd 187.71 SB 188.5
BR v Coll 191.56 SB 195.5
CA v PA 181.24 SB 180.5
ME v WB 184.64 SB 184.5
WC v ST 186.89 SB 193.5

The bookies have set the totals so high this week.
Are the bookies setting a trap?

Scoring has definitely improved this season but doubt they're setting a trap.

The bookies arent setting a trap, their trying to find a number that will give them an equal spread of money on both sides of the line, im guessing they got hammered lastweek with a lot of overs bets and their books were out of balance

That's the feeling I get too.
I spoke to a ladbrokes agent today and he said this year has been disaster(Afl footy bets) for ladbrokes.

Yeh i liked Melbourne before the year started, have built a really solid group now and so they should with some good form coming from a few ie: Jack Watts ect

They have a solid midfield, would be big if Tyson and N.Jones could get back to their best. A real depthy side they have some pretty solid players not playing at the moment. Lumumba, Salem, Trengove, Grimes*, Dawes, M.Jones had a good year, Brayshaw ect They can hit the scoreboard with Hogan, Watts, Garlett, Petracca, Brayshaw ect

Defence is on and off. Need Dunn back to his best T.Mcdonald isa really quality tall defender. Garland okayish and found someone with Wagner, whilst Vince and Salem go down back to provide run and drive. Jetta is one of the best small defenders going aswell in the comp.

They're the only side outside the 8 that can get in there IMO and i think lack of maturity and killer instinct will hurt them.

This weeks game will show alot, they were 50/50 to beat GCS and playing away they struggle. See what if any complacency creeps in after that win and the dogs touch them up.

I love your definitive statements followed by complete contradictions, sometimes even within a single sentence.

WHO IS GOING TO WIN THE GAME FFS.

Not as confident for Brisbane to beat Collingwood as I was a week ago but still sticking by it. They were shit on the weekend. Having said that, Brisbane have been very competitive at home against Sydney and North, as well as beating GC. Brisbane stats look shocking... their just about bottom of everything. However they've had to play at three houses of pain, West Coast at subi, Geelong at SS and the Dogs at Etihad. These three teams have been pumping everyone at home. Plus Sydney and North at home, the top two teams for 2016 imo. Can't believe the AFL gave them this fixture, so rough.

Just Brisbane and GWS at the line for me this week. Nothing surer than GC getting pumped this week, they've got another two injuries. 1.30 for Geelong over Collingwood and Adelaide over GC is pretty good, they should be a lot shorter.

 

[Profphat]

GWS, Eagles, Carlton, Brisbane, Geelong overs for me

Any 100+ special on GWS anywhere? or just PYOL usuals? They will pump GC

I think the only thing that might be concerning is that they are returning back from Perth.

I know this fixture is six weeks away, but if Geelong were playing the Bulldogs this week at ES, what would you have the game total set at? They're the two best teams defensively.

Prob 75% of possible winning payout

Thanks mate...

 

[timster]

I like blues adel melb rich coll to perform better than most expect. I can see blues and melb winning so a PYOL bet would be an option.
Port have only beaten rich and bris last two weeks. Blues played their best footy last week.
Melb have been mostly great this year. Dogs at G will b a different side to ES.

Around about 177.
ES is normally high scoring so it'll probably be higher than 177.

Looking ahead to Round 9 does anybody else think Adelaide -25.5 vs Gold Coast looks like a really low line? Am I missing something?

Are you sure it doesn't say -125.5?

 

[Zealbee]

Took Adelaide -25.5 and Adelaide by 40+ @ 3.00.

Free Coin On Offer and a certain Middle on the cards

 

[freo_leo29]

Do Gold Coast get their tall defenders back by then? Also any injuries to return? It is up at the good coast too but then again Melbourne has shown that doesn't mean much

Collingwood vs. Geelong in the same round, also a low line of -25.5 in Geelong's favour. Overs? Yep! Might be worth putting on a line double - Adelaide/Geelong both -25.5

A week is a long time in football. But, both these bets look the goods

Great spot. I think the Geelong line is a much better bet as I think there is a big chance that Geelong win by 40+ on Friday night.

 

[mookieb]

Got on both of these as well.

Had a look at the rest of the games and Port is paying $2.75 to beat WC at home. Would not surprise me at all to see another poor performance on the road.
