Sportsbet.com.au have suspended/closed the betting market (for now anyway) for the next melbourne coach....Adelaide and Western Bulldogs betting still available. Anything to it?

Probably is something to it.

I'm useless at finding the exotics on Betfair and TAB Sportsbet though

They are very seldom wrong!

They say "money speaks".

If they have closed the book then something is happening!

Or they are over-sensitive to rumours...

That also happens when money is involved...

Who could it be at this stage of the finals?

Eade? Viney? Williams? Laidley?

This market has been opened and closed a few times in the last month or so but yeah, the closer we get to pre-season the more we'll read into it I guess.

Max bet is $300 due to government exotics market rules

Herald sun reporting Lyon backed in from $9 to $2 over the past 24hrs. Thats a lot of $300 dollar bets

Yeah the thing is, if the saints players are reported correctly telling everyone Ross came out and said he isn't going to go to Melbourne....

this is fishy.

its only been suspended when the bulldogs and adelaide markets have been too (generally on sunday night after all matches have been played)

Not from my observation.

My initial thought is it is a response to Melbourne's intense secrecy regarding the position.

Melbourne have made a very clear decision to make the appointment of this coach as in house as humanly possible.

Maybe making calls on the Melbourne Coach is too risky for them...

What has a betting market got to do with who coaches us? Someone care to explain the link?

They take bets on who will coach us next season. There has been a drastic run of bets on Ross Lyon, shortening him from 9-1 down to 2-1 for the job in under a day. As such they have decided that there may be something fishy going on (such as news leaking early) and have stopped taking bets until they have looked into it.

Funny thing, they close the book when they think they stand to loose a lot of money because everyone is backing the same person. They never close the book when they think they're going to make a lot of money though. That hardly seems fair.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
