AFL Finals Week 1

[Parko31]

5U Franklin most finals goals @$4.50
0.5U Robbie Gray most finals disposals @$50 (Hoping port go far)

 

[free at last]

Anybody think that Freo were going through a tough training load during their poor performances against StKilda and Carlton?

I cant see them beating Sydney without Johnson and McPharlin though.

Jono and maca haven't been much chop since they both suffered medial strains earlier in the year.
Personally,I have more confidence in a fit Dawson and silvagni over a less than right Jono and maca.

Sydney 1-39 - 4u @ 2.05

Freo's defense is a little undermanned, especially with the firepower Sydney have.
I'm backing them to get the job done at home.
Freo are very competitive though so It probably won't blowout, but I may take the line as insurance.

Just wanted to say a big hello and thanks to those that PM wandering where I was.

I unfortunately spent the best part of 3 months in a hospital bed, but its great to be out and about and home again now. Following Crows games on TV was hard enough at the best of times let alone trying to follow all the other teams and know whats going on. I feel a little robbed, but then again life delivers a few curve balls every now and again. It did give me a lot of time to reflect on a lot of things in life.

I hope all you guys have done well over the past months and good luck for the remainder of the year, look forward to the banter next year in 2015.

My last Fun Fact for this year will be that Port have not lost a home final at AO nor have they lost to the Tigers either in a final. Sorry.

[Keystone agony]

Without looking at odds to win

I like Hawks, Sydney (with no Mcpharlin and MJ), Bombers (Only if Carlisle plays, otherwise roos) and Port/Rich toughest game for me. Maybe Richmond for the slight value if they hold some which id think they would. Be getting on them at anything over 2.50

Wheres Robbie Gray one?

Does that ever happen? Pretty sure only 1/4 faves got up last year.

You're right - 1/4 last year, 2/4 in '12 and 3/4 in' 11.
Last time all 4 favs won in week 1 was 2009 which incidently saw every game in that finals series bar one (the GF) go the way of the higher ranked team

I'd go Hawks v Geelong only because of the history between the two teams.

It's a nice little bit of insurance but not worth betting on just to take advantage of

 

[somethingrandom]

TAB has a promo on lead at half time and lose, but only $50 bonus.

Thanks mate thats nice of you. I look forward to the NAB cup next year and the banter with all of you again as 2015 rolls out.

 

[TheKanga]

Would everyone agree that Sydney are the safest bet of the round?

 

[X_box_X]

Betezy has something similar.

They also have an NRL bonus.

Take Roosters at $1.65 with betezy and Rabbits at $2.58 w Pinny and you can't lose. Stake $50 and $32 respectively.

 

[Sketi]

I would think Port safer, Tigers played their grand final last week. Consecutive travel should catch up with them.

Grundy is rumoured to be in some doubt for Swans but will see teams tonight.

 

[X_box_X]

I'm not confident with any teams but if I had to rate them in order of confidence...

Swans
Power
Hawks
Roos

Yeah true is was such an effort for the Tiges to make finals, they will be cooked.
Port have to much pride to get eliminated to the Tigers at home.


I really hope you guys win.
I just feel Buddy, Tippet & Goodes could really get on top of them.
Freo & Mcpharlin out is a big blow.
Wet weather should prevent a blow out so my 1-39 should be safe.

 

[Nothing]

Swans
Power
Hawks
Roos

My order of safe to least safe would be:
Hawks - They have Geelong's measure. I think Geelong are fortunate to be top 4 this year.
Power - Richmond played their final to get there.
Roos - Essendon in with a good chance.
Syd/Freo - I think the conditions strongly favour Freo and the loss of MJ can be covered by Ibbo (Freo haven't had a healthy Macpharlin for weeks). Certainly I think the game will be close (closest of the round)

Buddy most goals for finals $4.50, thank me later
