Historically Port haven't done too bad against the Dockers, despite the 56 point loss there in 2010. Freo were lucky to get over the line against the Suns, with Ross Lyons defensive tactics I don't like Freo to cover 30 points, most games at Subiaco have been abnormally low scoring, think Port will bounce back from last week and keep it a respectable 20-25 points.
Fremantle 1-39 .5 @ 2.25 (pinny)

Nice call on the Dogs Django. Surprised Nth Melb didn't turn up today with a full strength roster, at home too!
Cheers, Docklands is Bulldogs home ground too, so the home/away thing was negated for North. If it was at MCG and North didn't have the short turnaround it most likely would have been much different. Docklands helps Bulldogs high intensity pressure game, being indoor with sterile conditions and being a smaller ground they can often run a lot of teams that are "better on paper" off their feet and bridge the skill gap with tackling pressure. They did it to Carlton last year at Docklands at similar odds. Always be wary of large spreads against the Dogs at docklands.

Haven't done very well with margins over the weekend. However, with the line moving about 6 points and seeing Carlton don't put up high scores at Etihad and Saints generally play ok there and have a very good record against the Blues in recent years, I think Carlton get up by a few goals in a close low scoring game.

Thanks buddy, BOL with following/fading people on covers, if/when you can cap your own games and are man enough to put your plays/reasoning out for all to see and critique, I'll look forward to seeing your season threads.

Cold wet day in Adelaide, with these teams history 183.5 is too low for an under despite the weather, so sticking with my initial lean, Roos to bounce back, they are 5-1 against Port in their last 6, wet weather should help keep it close.
Norf to win by 16.
Roos 1-39 .5u @ 2.36 (sportingbet)

How the hell did Roos snatch defeat from the jaws of victory...

This game is in Darwin, Bulldogs haven't played there since '10, Suns first game there but would have to imagine Suns players are acclimatised to the conditions which isn't much different than the Gold Coast. Dogs beat Suns by 22 points at Gold Coast last year, think it will a similar margin. Not liking Dogs to cover -35 and think it's highly unlikely Suns win SU.
Bulldogs 1-39 .5u @ 2.40 (pinnacle)
Bombers 1-39 .5u @ 2.35 (sportingbet)
Think Bombers and Tigers will be a cracking game, Tigers much improved this year and generally lift against the Dons, can see this game being decided by a kick or two so feeling the margin is the better bet, with no key numbers in AFL, this 12.5 spread could get burnt by a point or two, whatever side you take.
Two bad beats on 1-39 bets on Norf today and Freo v Port last week, hopefully this doesn't end up the same.

Can you please explain to me what a "1-39" bet is? My book only offers point spreads on these matches.
I had the Swans -41.5, which looks to be in the book (1/4 left), and wanted to roll it on the Bombers/Tigers match. I thought the Bombers might be a good bet at -13.5, but seems like you think it could be a tight match?
Sorry for the newbie questions, trying to start following more and just getting into following the teams and betting.
thx

It's cool mate, "1-39" is a winning margin prop, one of the major markets for AFL, generally only offered on Aussie books, Pinnacle and occasionally bet365.
basically just team to win under 6.5 goals or you can take "40+" for over 6.5 goals
I take them on certain games where I feel the teams are relatively even matched and when the spread is either too high, or when there's no value in the ML, due to no key numbers in AFL, small spreads especially often lose by 1 or 2 points. But then 40/41 point wins or 1 or 2 point upsets kill your 1-39 bets, pick your poison I tells ya.
Yeah I have a feeling this could be right down to the wire, 1 point nailbiter type game, this is one of the marquee games of two traditional Melbourne teams. Essendon are the form side of the year and should on paper cover a relatively small spread, but I don't see Richmond being beaten too badly, wouldn't even be surprised if they win SU. If I had to pick ats or total, my pick would likely be over 190 or whatever it is. It's a dry mild night, weather won't hinder scoring and I can see both sides putting up over 90/100 each.

Appreciate the response!! I think I get it. My book doesn't offer that line though, so I guess I'm stuck guessing ATS.
I'll take your advice and bank on a close match and take the Tigers +14.5. Swans covered easy, so what the H. Hopefully I'll wake up and have another W.
thx again, and good luck

ruh roh, well hope I'm right and it's a 1-14 point win to the Bombers. Personally I wouldn't bet on Richmond, even though I've had a funny feeling all week they win tonight and Essendon are possibly due to drop a game.
While I do rate Richmond as a better side this year, I really struggle to bet on them, there's a bit of bias as Richmond have been a joke, they are one of those teams that will beat the top team of the competition one week, then lose to the bottom the next.
Hope we're both on a winner and you enjoy the game anyway

shame i wussed out with half unit bets, was kinda spooked about this round of afl.
Tigers should have had that cover. Can't believe they fudged that dying second chance at a goal to get you the win.
