dont mind the occassional punt. put $100 on swan to win the brownlow into saints and cats to make the big one for a return of $600. also $100 on the cats to win the lot at $3.75 . hopefully a nice little pay day. did anyone else get amongst the action?

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

Gambling is a tax for the stupid.

But I have been known to get amongst it on the odd occasion...

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

Just shows - you are a very strange man- double dutch at times.Does this mean you are part stupid.?

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!)

wouldn't mind being the dude who put 500k on the saints to win the flag...stands to win 3mil...

..............or lose 500k. No thanks!

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

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
