Still 4 hours to go but nothing beats an alcohol fuelled build up to the game (if the changes thread is anything to go by).

Can we lift this bloody hoodoo under the roof?

 

[MUYB]

Going to cop a big whack today.

Whoever has Wood and Morris on them they need to GTFO of the 50 so Hogan can go one out. Can't let them have a lose man either.

 

[Demon 16]

I've got on us at $5.04

Just couldn't resist those odds.

Tipped the doggies though.

Hope those odds aren't because we still have a bunch of crook guys. Salem being sick worries me

Yeh seems very high - took it last night.

It was obviously quite a bug that went through the club.

I got on at $4.60 before Salem pulled out. Could be in for another 4th quarter fall away.

Gone through my workplace too. Been a nightmare.

I got the tigers at 1.13 into Melbourne at the line of +28.5 ( 1.83)
Nice little double if we dont shit the bed

 

[schmuttt]

Have the same feeling today that I did before round 1, Richmond and previous Dogs game. Unfortunately also had it before both Saints games. I want to believe in us today but Dogs have improved so much. Would be a huge win if we get up.

I've got a couple of combo's of Sydney/Norf into Melbourne.

For the win? Nice little collect there if we pull it off

I made two bets both somewhat under the influence (treating a bad back) turns out I didn't bet norf,
Sydney 1-39/Adelaide/Dees +29.5 @$4.89
Sydney/Adelaide/Melbourne @ $8.24

 

[Rack Watts]

Womens game, very entertaining thus far Some sublime kicks into the 50.

That one looks a ripper, you should drink more often

Edit just read its your back so eat some more tablets then

 

[Theseventhhamster]

I'll get right on that.

 

[Topkent]

I'll get right on that.

Having realised I bet on melbourne I might join ya mate

 

[Proper Gander]

I have seriously miscalculated my run. I had it fixed in my mind that the game would kick off at 1:10 pm. Obviously not accurate - which means my drinking and festive plan kicked off 2 hours earlier than was probably wise.

I'm going to put it down as experience. If we win, then my accidental strategy is actually a good luck omen and must be repeated for every game.

For today, the fact that I'm getting sozzled may help with watching M Jones and Bail run out for us. I feel calmer, at any rate

I really enjoyed watching it. It's no longer just novelty value I reckon. Loved hearing the commentators talk about the players day job too, makes it a lot easier to relate to the players.

The commentators did an amazing job I thought.
They also talked more about the tactical stuff than anything you hear of from modern commentators, which I loved!

 

[Tempy Tiger]

I really hope Brayshaw and ANB spend a lot of time on the ball today. Perfect opposition for it given that the doggies onballers are young too. Would be brilliant watching Gus on Bont or Wallis.

How well does Daizee Pearce speak? God she puts everyone else in the AFL to shame.

Think Viney will go to Wallis and give him the Joel Selwood

 

[rhaz]

Grimes is the sub. Interesting. Not sure he's an impact player, but i'm happy that guys like ANB and Michie are getting full games.
