it would have to be more than that. A betting agency isn't going to halt betting for bets worth $130 totaling a potential payout of no more than $1170...

Vanlo I am not having a go at you however you need to learn a bit more about these type of bets.

They do not hold very much on these type of bets and limited the size of the wager.

I heard one of the agencys talking about how it is so easy to pick up the likes of the Shaw and the collingwood bets.

They shut down at the first sign of something strange and check who is betting.

They Seldom hold more than a few hundred on this type of betting.

From what he said I believe that Francis Leach could be correct.

I'd be very sceptical about any part of this.

For starters, betting agencies would have a vested interest in drawing attention to themselves (case in point the St Kilda spoon "plunge").

The odds are set by people, not machines. Lowering his odds for a little while doesn't hurt their business, and indeed arguably helps it by drawing attention to it.

Yeah.

This is it.

According to this article today, Lyon is "committed to the Saints."

Whatever that means.

He hasn't said "I'll be coaching at St Kilda next year."

Some might see that as splitting hairs, but I think his wording is quite deliberate to leave an opening.

In any case, the article goes on to say:

He said the team didn't rate itself on talent, but rather on effort.

Whatever you think of Lyon, I think this is the sort of attitude we need to bring to the club.

I mentioned this on the new coach post - I for one will be dark on Scully is he leaves as I found his presser in March unambiguous - " i want to be a one club player and envisage that will be the case, can see where we are going," He even answered how he can turn down the money. I am not sure how he can turn his back on his statements in the press conference.

On the other hand - look at what Ross Lyon has said - a complete "non denial" denial.

He's chasing the extension, plain and simple.

The get out clause in his contract must have some very specific items that St Kilda can't offset with a 1 year extension. Would be an interesting read.

That's my take on it.

Betting on sport is safer than betting on politics...

Always easier to get what you want when there is another suitor at the front the door.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
