Afl - round 7

[DerpWerls]

Sydney only play 2 or 3 games at the MCG every year anyway so it's not like they are on a horror losing streak. And Sydney is the most experienced/oldest list versus Richmond whose weekly playing list is about the 3rd or 4th youngest so you could certainly make a case for Richmond to drop this one after a scrappy game against Port. So bet away punters, hopefully Richmond can get out to $2.30 before Saturday.

 

[Jivin Jackel]

I am expecting Richmond to win. Not surprise they are favourites at all

 

[Duritz]

I'm not surprised either.

Lot of people choking on coffee and food in this thread!! Is betting a health hazard?

Brisbane will get slaughtered

 

[Duritz]

I think we'll get slaughtered, too. I think we'll get hammered like Carlton players on a boat.

If Collingwood couldnt smash the Dogs then they wont be able to smash the Lions in Brisbane

I reckon the Lions will lift for this one.

 

[Rooster Cogburn]

That's what I thought last week.

 

[Cuzz09]

That's what I thought last week.

They were never gonna beat the Dons @ Etihad - they probably wont beat Collingwood but at the Gabba I can see them showing a bit more.

 

[Rooster Cogburn]

Never thought they'd win, but they showed nothing. Zip.

 

[Dr Awkward]

On fire at the moment so going to start posting some bets.

Value this week is:

Essendon to win
Adelaide to win
Freo and Coll are as safe as houses, not the worst idea to include them in multis.

Reckon Rich should be a bit shorter but not sure if I will bet there.

Dunno about Freo. Agree on the rest.

That's silly. Just because they got a bit of a scare last week doesn't mean they are a side anywhere near Brisbane enough to make it a proper contest....sometimes good teams don't belt teams every week. West coast limped over the line against Richmond; does that mean they couldn't thrash a team like Port Adelaide?

 

[infinity303]

Early Thoughts

Essendon +39.5
Adelaide +24.5
Hawks -24.5

@ 2.01


Add to multi Syd +24.5

@ 2.72


I reckon the syd - rich game will be a nail biter. Another valiant loss to Rich for mine.

I like the crows at the moment. I'm not sure how they will respond after such a tough hard game against the swans but I like them at home.

I'm actually tipping a draw between essendon and WC but CB doesn't seem to offer that market???

 

[NYRB]

Brisbane have won 9 of the past 11 against Collingwood at the GABBA. Brisbane is massive overs for me at around $5.50

 

[wce_dyl]

$50 on syd/coll/north/carl @ 3.99 on sporting bet

No its not, they are not the same Collingwood side of the last 2 years. They struggled with the Dogs, only beat Port by 24 at the MCG, only beat Richmond by 21. These are games they would be winning by 10 goals+ over the previous 2 years. They snuck home over the Bombers, they got smashed by Carlton and were no where near good enough for Hawthorn.

Brisbane at the line is a very good bet imo

I like the look of North -17.5. Thoughts?

Not convinced. Dogs were better last week.

It seemed to be the Big Forwards that gave Pies the trouble in the past. The Lions have a completely different setup now and Brown is certainly not at his best. Brown/Fevola 8 goals between them in an 8 point win. Brown 5 in a another loss. Bradshaw 3 goals in a two point win. Mitch Clark 5 goals in a 5 goal loss. Brennan with 7 on another occasion, the only one left is Brown!
I would like a line of around 40 before diving into Brisbane.

 

[iluvparis]

Got to laught at the fact that after people were talking up another West Coast - Sydney GF last week they now both open as dogs the very next round.

Might have to have a nibble.

We usually have trouble with Norths talls. Wouldnt be surprised if we got smashed, especially since its at Etihad.

please don't bring up that brennan 7. hacksville that night, hooper i think kicked 4 and our best goalkicker was i think maxwell on 3

i flew down for that with the missus (not really a footy fan but an antagoniser of me) and two other lions fans. good times

because of that (and pretty much the last decade) i go into no lions v collingwood games with any confidence at all so reckon the lions are value but it's almost certainly a decade of scarring that's giving me that viewpoint

also: if north don't touch up the dogs by 6 goals + i'll almost give up

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

At first glance I like Brisbane and the Dogs. I might put some money on later.
