Just heard a guy sitting next to me at the Park Hyatt advise that a Group of people have outlayed $200K on MFC making the 8. Have they lost their marbles?

I am a very passionate MFC supporter and not even I would do such a thing even if I had that sort of cash.

Opinions??

Maybe its the boys at MFC. Would love to think that it were true andthey have that much confidence in where they are at as a team!!!!

I certainly hope it wasn't the MFC... thats all we need... Another gambling issue linked to MFC.

I just hope that its someone who is unlinked to the club, but knows something that alot of others don't!

Go Dees!

Gippy

Probably thinking that $7.50 is over the odds for a horse to finish in the first 8 of a 16 horse race and they may just be right.

I would have thought that at $7.50 the odds are quite short. However I must admit I dont bet ofter...

In your opinion would it be worth throwing a $50 on it or perhaps a $100?

I know that everyone is saying thats what we did in the NAB cup does not represent anything in correlation to the season proper but I think they played well and just ran out of legs against the Buillies after having to work their ass off in the terential rain the previus week.

Hawks - They should have won

Sydney - They were in a position to win all the way thru the game

Brisbane - Beat comprehensively

Bulldogs - Shithouse!!!

Anyone?

I'm afraid I can't get behind betting on a routine basis - family stories and all.

But I'm all for start of year crazy multi-bets - for instance

Demons to make 8, plus Grimes to win rising star, plus Mclean to place finish in Browlow, plus Roughead to win Coleman.

= approaching a million dollars for a ten dollar bet.

Gotta make it so outlandish you don't expect to win. That's the important part - never expect to see your money again.

At $7.50 they're still not giving much away when you take a look at exposed form.

It's much better though than the next best on offer which is $3.50 for WC.

Whilst the AFL season is not quite a horse race (although the Handicapper purports to be doing his honest best) a modest wager now rather than after they've surprised a few people with a bit of form could prove prudent and might provide some excitement later in proceedings.

You'd probably do a lot better on Betfair.

I put $20 on too! at $7.40. My loss

It's not such a stupid idea. $7.50 to be in the top 50%. Those are long odds, even if we're talking about Melbourne. The Bullies were bottom 4 in 2007, top 4 in 2008. Strange things do happen in footy.

 

You may as well place the money on Geelong to win the premiership for 2009. As for placing ANY money on Melbourne to finish top 8 at $7.50. The boys at Sportsbet/TAB would be laughing. They will need that money anyway to pay out those who backed Geelong to win the P'ship.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
