    Top 8 is (nearly) set, 6 weeks in to the season.
    Geelong to come in, for North.

    Collingwood the only ?
    Could come in, but for whom ?

    :)) :)>- cmon now.. 6 rounds in and you think the top 8 is set..........
    12 wins would usually be enough for a team to sneak in the 8 only to be KO'd in the first week of finals but there's still plenty of footy to be played and the comp is so even and inconsistent this year anything could happen.
    Freo, Ess, Buldogs and Melb could all be thereabouts (8th) 
    Hawks have the potential to drop out, or any team that is severely hit with injuries, still a looong wayyy to go big fella

    Have a look at our draw. To be 3 & 3 after 6 has as set up nicely to win at least 8 of our next 10... at least!

    in PAUL we trust, getting in early to hopefully secure some good odds before the rest of the forum members follow me in  :P

    Geelong v GWS - cats win
    Bulldogs v GC - bulldogs -21.5
    Ess v Hawks - no bet
    WCE v Port - no bet
    Swans v North - Swans win comfortably (40+)
    Adel v Carlton - Crows win (line set at 55.5 too hard to pick)
    Richmond v Freo - tigers to win but Freo look to match up well against them (Freo +36.5 start)
    Saints v Melb - should be closer than expected, as above Saints match up well and have a decent record although the last couple have been in favour of the Dees (+19.5 start for St Kilda)
    Bris v Coll - Pies PYOL @ -11.5 the line has only been set at 18.5 awfully low and closer than I thought it would be, got a feeling this could be the upset of the round if there was to be one, Brisbane must be getting desperate now.

    Keep this very quiet :-$ Crows to rest a few this week. Showdown one week later...take the $1.91 about the Blues keeping it under 55.5 and hope [-O<

    They have a few injuries too...no risks to be taken, eyes on Port Power game, also a night game in Adelaide in May...conditions can get a little dewy and low scoring can occur. Blues to slog it out and go down by under 56.

    Adelaide weather : Thursday rain. Friday rain. Sunday rain. Saturday cloudy ~X( however could still be a slow to heavy track Saturday night. Blues conditions, to master the 55.5 line.

    Some of those pirates have brought the line in from 55.5 to 54.5 ....there's movement!

    Early support for the Blues to call it a halt before 55.5. One point may not sound a lot ( it isn't ) but when it's getting late in the game and the Crows lead by eight goals be assured every point counts.

    @hashy i read an article on betting the line from the pro handicappers on the NBA and NFL in the USA...there is no system that works of course, but there was a season in the NFL whereby if you backed every underdog away team at the line you would have recorded a tidy profit.

    Alluding to Carlton - Away - Underdog b-(

    GWS at the line +16.5

  • goosegoose    1,638 posts
    If GWS can cover that line I reckon they are still on track to make the grand final they have 5 or 6 of their very best players out again this season hurt by injuries.
    A couple of hard games again if Eagles can beat Port must be a lock for the 8 surprisingly and expecting  Essendon to bounce this week still not convinced by Hawks.
    Dockers to cover the line? still cant work them out this season.

    2.7 (19) is GWS's lowest score at 3/4 time in an AFL game (previous lowest, 22 v Sydney, R1 2012). They need at least two goals to equal their lowest score ever in an AFL game, 31 v Hawthorn, R15 2012.

    Can anyone tell me why Geelong have an orange band at the top of their socks which clashes with the GWS orange ?
    Also Dangerfield does not have orange on his pulled up socks ?

    Just Think campaign (raising awareness of alcohol-fuelled violence). Apparently, Dangerfield's calves were too big, they didn't have a pair of socks that fit him.

    Both Geelong and GWS to score 50 points or more was $1.14. Both teams to score 40 points or more was $1.01 (1/100 ). Close but no cigar.
