Who really cares who is favourite........?????

As a non gambler, Is it better to be the underdog????? ie, not have the expectation

Gary Ablett alone is probbaly as good as 12 of our players combined that will be out there Sunday.

Still think we will win though.

The odds are about right I think.

GCS have way better form than us and with our injuries at present they will have a lot better team on the field on Sunday.

I expect them to win by about 6 goals.

As for GWS, 2014 they will pass us.

The only up side I see for the Dees is 2nd draft pick this year and first in 2014.

Aren't odds partly calculated by punter spending habits?

It's no surprise that people are putting their cash essentially equally on GC and Melbourne, a little more so on GC.

This is not shocking news. Odds aren't really indicative of "where a team is at"...it just represents what punters think of the team.

Were gold coast favourites last year? i remember they were fancied by alot of people, and the score at quarter time was like 46-2 our way or something, these expansion teams just don't seem to play well at the G yet

I think I can confidently say Bossdog that there would be not one Dees supporter who has any expectation for the Dees.

The only thought most of us have these days is "how big will the loss be"

Bloody sad but there you are.

Wow. Great odds for us, I'd say.

Isn't it funny that Demonlanders are now using betting odds to slag on the club. Any excuse to be pessimistic, I guess.

Didn't Ablett miss this game last year?

Denial is a wonderful human trait Chook.

May you remain happy through the coming years.

Nah, he and benell were the two best players on the ground, bout 6 million touches between them and 3 goals to ablett and 4 to benell or something, either way they were the only two decent players they had.

Pessimism is a wonderful human trait Old Dee.

May you never be unpleasantly surprised through the coming years.

That makes us even because our Dixon isn't playing for us either.

Come to think of it Brian hasn't played for quite a while but let's face it, his loss amounts to a significant reduction in games played. :lol:

GCS were actually favourites before the last round was played.

Evidently the betting public are unimpressed by the conservative Selection Table choices (no need to name any names here).

The day is young, expect them to further shorten.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
