Firstly, I don't know why you'd bet on Melbourne beating Hawthorn/any other quite decent team - it's probable we'll lose and thus you'll get nothing, regardless of how 'good' the odds are. However, this comment probably betrays the fact that I'm not a gambling man :P

$4.80 does seems enticing, but I still think we're likely to lose.

It sure did.

Weird.

Adam Cooney also at $34 without another teammate higher than Boyd at $51 is better odds than Goddard. Sure like Goddard though.

Best bets:

Brendon Goddard $34.00 for Brownlow

and to try and keep a Melbourne theme

Jack Trengove $6.50 for Rising star looks good too.

And remember: Gamble responsibly :)

Not as good as at Centrebet where they are shopping him at $8 :)

I'd say we're a pretty good chance to finish last again.

Don't think so. What are the odds for Richmond to win the spoon? Because it looks like the betting agencies think Melbourne will win the spoon three years running, but we have a better team, so that ain't gonna happen :D

And $28 for Bazza is a great bet. He'll definitely finish Top 5.

It's no $7.50 for Jurrah to wear a short sleeve jumper in his debut.

Did he actually wear short sleeve? It was long-sleeve if I remember correctly, same as Fletcher punching 2 of his would-be goals right on the line...

They pulled the market hours after they put it up and I'm pretty sure they got smashed the whole time.

It was definitely short sleeves and whilst Fletcher did stop a couple of his goals, he still nabbed one to pull in the $2+ it offered

We're bad, but we're not Richmond bad.

Best bet of the 2010 season is Carlton to miss the 8 @ $2.05

I'm watching Richmond Carlton now... and I'm feeling pretty good about an investment in MFC to push the Toiges out of bottom spot....I reckon we are Richmond bad and I'm waiting for Saturday with trepidation

Did this market actually exist?

Only for a short period of time --- Sportingbet lost $5k in the end.

By 4pm on Friday afternoon word spread that the alternate jumper we were using that evening was produced in short sleeves only. The BigFooty punting board caught wind and once Sportingbet noticed an abnormally large number of bets on the rank outsider in a two-horse race they quickly shut up shop.

And the thing about the Tigers is at least they can score some goals. We'd probably lose just because we can't score as much as they can.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
