AFL Round 12 - Discussion

Had to start a thread more so this week as I have been copping it over the past couple of weeks...so I need help

 

ML's are correct and lines are guesses as per usual:

 

Ess V Eagles                                    Pk

 

Bulldogs ($1.45) Vs Bris ($2.75)       Line 15

 

Freo ($1.78) Vs North Melb ($2.02)   Line 2

 

Syd ($1.24) Vs Saints ($4)                Line 31

 

Adel Vs Haw                                      Pk

 

Geel ($1.18) Vs Port ($4.80)              Line 40

 

Coll ($1.38) Vs Carl ($3)                    Line 22

 

Rich ($1.40) Vs Tigers ($2.95)            Line 19

 

Let's find some winners

i like freo shockers pick against the roos not sure if jones n thompson are playing for the roos this week it wont matter if they play...and also like the cats -24.5 against port..cats are only missing scarlett which is a big loss but they still outmatch port all over the ground..port are missing ebert and chad cornes is playing injured at the moment. let down for port after a major choke job last week so they come in with there tails down.

Lines are out as per Sportingbet:

 

Ess Vs Eagles        Pk

 

Bulldogs (-17.5) Vs Bris

 

Freo (-4.5) Vs Nth Melb

 

Syd (-22.5) Vs Saints

 

Adel Vs Hawks      Pk

 

Geel (-25.5) Vs Port

 

Coll (-19.5) Vs Carl

 

Rich (-21.5) Vs Melb

 

There you have em gentleman....and ladies. Let's see if we can make some money.  For some stupid reason I like Geel

For the past 2-3 weeks I've found the lines have been favouring the dogs (after probably the first 7-8 weeks favouring the favourites). Going by the above lines I'd have to say they are all favouring the favourites again. None of the dogs interest me.

 

Disastrous round for me last week, so hoping to recoup some funds this round.

As they have done in many a recent season Richmond look like after getting off to a reasonable start they are back to being an embarrassment.

 

Last week several Melbourne players played alot better than they have been, such as Bruce, Sylvia and Bate.

 

Like the demons with the points, but i got killed last week also, so what would i know.

Binomial don't worry about Richmond. Its just Terry Wallace 10 year plan for them to win a premiership. Its only year 4

The Tigers started the season terribly. They only started plaing very well when Bowden, Tivendale etc got dropped a couple of games into the season.

 

Wallace came out this week and it looks like they'll be dropped again. So in his thinking they should start to play well again.

 

If only it was that simple...

You are right Tozer, I was referring to their record of 2-2-1 after five rounds, which was probably better than their wildest dreams. They weren't playing very well though.

 

I think the 10 year plan may be ahead of schedule. Getting Jordan Mcmahon has increased the number of players who can kick straight by 50% to 3. It is also pretty amazing how well the strategy of picking ordinairy players in the draft is going.
