I need footy to start

[cowboy_from_hell 2,390]

Hey boys and girls I have finally got out of my ice bath after forum footy (still a bit sore but will pull through) and im hanging for footy to start so I can stop telling people we are certain for the 8 this year and that sam blease is going to explode this year. After a few drinks on the weekend and then a few more i put $100 on with a mate that Melbourne will finish on top of st.kilda and another $100 on one S.Blease winning the B&F this year. If i had a couple more scotch's i probably would have put some dough on lucas cook winning the coleman so im lucky I stopped. I know this is a nothing thread that's why this thread is sponsored by the NAB cup because they are both irrelevant but I would love to know if any other demonlanders have been shooting their mouths off to their mates about our chances Cheers.

Don't worry CFH ... it's a religious rite/right (both work) for footy fans to bask in hope three days before your side's first praccy match.

That said, placing bets with red and blue beer goggles strapped on is definitely to be avoided!

$50 bucks with my mate Melbourne to finish higher than Essendon, tis the silly season, I wanted to bet him $50 that Girly Hurley would be at GWS next year but he wouldn't be in it.

. After a few drinks on the weekend and then a few more i put $100 on with a mate that Melbourne will finish on top of st.kilda

thats funny because on the weekend i made a bet with one of my best mates who is a mad saints fan that we would win a flag before they would.

what do people think, am i mad?

the bet was $100 and we both relise we could be waiting a while for this bet to settle

I think your right but in my sober state i think my bets aren't that bad i think the saints are going to slide way down this year maybe Blease for the B&F is a bit rich but as you said the bet was made with the red and blue beer goggles firmly strapped on.

I put $100 on Melbourne to make the eight paying $3.50

I bet my mate a case of Asahi Melbourne will beat The Filth in our pre season match.

I have been telling anyone that will listen to put Sam Blease in their Supercoach team.

Most of all I have been basking in the love Melbourne have been receiving in the paper lately. I reckon there has been at least one MFC article in the Herald Sun everday for the last month.

I also told my wife to keep me out of her Saturday night plans as THE DEES ARE BACK !!!!

Asahi is a nice drop. Sam blease was my first pick in supercoach then Bate. I really hope The Dee's are back I even got my Mum a membership she has been a so so supporter of the bombers forever but she now loves the dee's and I think she is more pumped then me.

They've got 2 Years left, after that we'll be well overtaken them. So i reckon your on song.

I've done that too. Except it's us winning a flag before Richmond, and only I get money for winning. My brother was a little drunk...

[saka888 54]

Yes... i bet 1000 with my mate a hawks supporter that Melb will win a GF before the hawks do again.... ( this as last year..) you can imagine how i felt during finals

hate to say it mate but there is a good chance you could be losing 1000 as early as september this year.

[Fork 'em 7,052]

Not sure about Blease and Supercoach.

Not sure if he's a great accumilater.

Ya only get 6points for an 80m run , 6 bounces , 2 baulks and a goal at top pace from fiddy.

If that happens 4 times a game it's still only 24pts.

Yeah great price...considering we almost made it last year...amazingly.

Well, we did win many before they did, but sadly none since they did (their but solitary one though).

[furious d 477]

I have a bet every year with a Geelong mate over who will finish higher. It used to be $500 a year but after he lost in 2006 he wanted to drop it back to $100.

Every year since he's tried to goad me in to raising it back to $500, not planning to take the bait for another season or 2 at least.

Did the same with my Brother. Bet him "slave for an hour" any ideas?

Back in 1999 had a bet with my other brother that Melbourne would get to a GF before Essendon (alcohol was involved). Which we did when we won the Prelim the following year about 18 hrs before the Dons also won their Prelim... he never paid me.

I had a non-bet with my wife back in about 2005 that eMelbourne would win a flag before Geelong, and that Geelong had no hope of winning one for 10 years becuase they had no stars in their team. For obvious reasons, I don't make bets with mates whilst under the influence.

I do have a carton with a mate who's a Carlton supporter about who will finish higher - that's been going for about 5 years and I'm yet to receive one from him. It is a tradition to buy it for GF day and help him drink it, so it's not all that bad of a bet!

I like that $3.50 for us finishing in the top 8 though - very juicy odds.

Lol.. drinks sometime?

[Bimbo 943]

Have sadly for many years had a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black on the Kangaroos game with a bloke who runs a stall at the Vic. Market. Even more sadly, it used to be only a bottle of Red up to about 10 games ago. I cant remember why it changed.

[cowboy_from_hell 2,390]

Lol.. drinks sometime?

any time sloonie I'll be at the hassett bar from round 1 onwards.

[Dan Fantastik 50]

I have $100 against my brother that we will finish higher then the saints, $100 with my mate that we will finish higher then the bombers and $100 that we will finish higher the Richmond......

Also a Jim Beam 10 pack that we will beat the Pies, Tigers and Roos........I need to stop talking about footy whilst under the influence. Although a few of these are possible and might cancel each other out.

[Striker475 696]

Standing bet with my mate of a sixpack regarding the result of every game vs Carlton. It's been pretty brutal lately.
