    Never like to bet when it means that one loss will lose multiple bets.

    I've got $200 on with a mate for Colliwobbles to lose, I like my chances.

    Got Hodge at 50 to 1 for the brownlow and Hall at 23 to 1 for the Coleman before the season started. Both were lookin good about rd 16, but neither will get up

    Ok, for people of the thicker persuasion amongst us, I was poking a bit of fun at myself.

    Everybody got that? Its a hard concept, I know.

    I'm smart enough to know I'm incredibly stupid at times.

    (by everybody, I mean you John. Moving on!)

    backed Jamar for place only in first three at cricket score odds. looking for a miracle given the favouritism to midfielders. departed with $10.

    I put 50 into an account almost two years and about 700 bets ago. At the moment I'm about a dollar down, it's certainly paid for itself in terms of entertainment.

    I would of thought that $10 on the Russian is good value to win $210.00

    Might have a bit of a flutter. ;)

    Love to have a few punts esp multis.....won 2500 once for 10 bucks on 6 games where each team had to win by less than 39.5pts (ie under 40pts)....over the course of the weekend the first five teams had got up...(amazingly)...the sixth and final game was mel v coll a QB few years back....the sixth leg of the bet was either side to win under 15.5pts....The siren had sounded and the dees had won by 13 or 14pts but ROBBO had taken a last minute screamer and was shooting for goal near the boundry after the siren.....you can imagine...so wrapt to win the game (esp against the pies).... my mates were most bemused at me suddenly screaming at the tele.... No No!!....He missed.

    Agree about TMR. Just checked TAB sportsbet odds for MFC players... and they list Frawley, Green, Sylvia, Moloney and Scully as favourites and Any Other Player at $8.50. This is very tempting because you would think that Jamar will collect plenty of votes and Davey/Bruce/Junior have all had reasonable form and polled well in the past from memory.

    During pre-season I made a bet with a bomber mate that Jurrah would kick more goals than Gumbleton... that weekend LJ did his shoulder. I was probably the only MFC supporter with a grin on his face after round 22 against North when he bagged 5. Also, put $2 on Sylvia for the brownlow at 500-1... the next week guess who had his jaw broken?

    Now wondering if I should apply for a job at the Crown as a 'cooler' or if Sylvia will now make a charge in the final rounds to steal Chaz.

    You and me both.....

    I did the same thing, but also put a fiver on Junior at 1000-1, the week before he did his hammie.

    Glad to know I'm not the team's only bad luck charm.....

    Why didn't I follow my gut and take the $8.50 for 'any other player' instead of Sylvia? Davey finished equal 1st on 10 votes with Sylvia but those greedy pr!cks at the TAB only paid out half. Green got absolutely no love from the umpires yet again.

    If we look like making finals next year with a few more wins on the board Davey could be a smokey

    THE TAB ARE DIRTY [censored]!

    not only do they pay out half on one bet , i had a 10 leg multi with jack riewolt to have most votes as one of my legs

    i put $100 on it at a return of $2500 i get 1250 back how is that fair when i have 9 legs still correct.

    i am better of if without that leg in the damn bet! he was only $1.80 and now all my other 9 legs suffer...

    You should read the fine print regarding the rules of payouts before placing the bets.

    "IF" we look like making the finals.How pedestrian of you.

    If we look like winning the flag,I may have a glance.Otherwise I'll be PUNTING as usual.

    Oh dear,drop the "WE" please

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
