Why are the Dogs laying only 4.5 to the Dockers?

Question

Ok admitedly I&#x27;ve only had a cursory interest in the AFL thus far and haven&#x27;t watched as many games as I would have liked but looking at the fortunes of the respective teams so far this season I have to ask why are the Dogs laying less than a goal in this one? Sure you have the Subiaco factor but has tor that really been a factor for either of the WA teams this season seeing how poorly they have been playing to date? Freo are coming off possibly their most demoralising losses in recent times by allowing the worst team in the league to overturn a 50 odd point deficit whilst the Dogs remain undefeated.

Personally I think the Dockers are great value for the spoon this season. Why was this team so highly rated by the markets in the preseason?

Something I&#x27;ve been thinking about all weekend, still without answers.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;I&#x27;ve gone for then dogs to cover but an equally good bet IMO are the dockers to win 1st quarter. They really have copped a lot of abuse in the media in subi so they&#x27;d have to start strong.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Freo although only 1 win has competed very well with some of the best sides.&#xD;&#xA;1 pt loss Geelong&#xD;&#xA;15 pt Hawthorn&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;But really to lay only 4.5 pts for a top 4 side with their best side in for the year have to back the dogs.

tozer, you got moosed on the 1st Quarter due to a silly turnover of the ball to Aker. I feel for you there. It is one thing I pointed out in my thread about how I believe the Dogs will win and pip this spread......silly turnovers leading to goals.

Announcer has mentioned that the pace to the Dockers/Dogs match is being played out at full bore at the players are already becoming winded.

HUGE advantage to the Doggies as they are, by far, the fitter team. Looks like the Dockers may have outdid themselves. I look for the Dogs to start pulling away now. They are down 53-52 at the moment, 2nd Quarter.

Taking the Doggies huge at H/T @ $1.95 centrebet! They should wreck Freo in the next two quarters......

I think the way the Dockers have played thus far has just answered my question.&#xD;&#xA;Dockers up by 3 straight kick at the last change

Aussieguy · Answer

Nah, still got full confidence. One whole more quarter to go. Doggies will get this.......

Aussieguy · Answer

So you reckon it was a fishy line to start with eh?! Is that what&#x27;s hearing

HeadOverHeart · Answer

First goal in the 4th is HUGE.

Going to throw some coins on the Dogs &#x2B;280 FTW&#xD;&#xA;Don&#x27;t think they will overhaul this deficit to be honest by good value nonetheless

HeadOverHeart · Answer

HeadOverHeart · Answer

Goal to the Dogs!!!!!!!  Only down by a true-shot now!

Let&#x27;s go baby.... Freo is having a deja vu!
