Suns are now favourites to win

Featured Replies

 

I don't think it matters, we will beat them :)

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.

Dixon out for the suns......SEN reporting....


We started at 1.80 favourites.

I'm the most pessimistic mfc supporter on the planet, but I'm quietly confident we can beat the Suns, simply due to it being at the G.

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.

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.


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:

WJ I think you may have over dosed on Bananas at lunch mate.

Easy you can have too much of a good thing!

I've watched the sun a few times this year. We will struggle.

 

I hope GCS take all their tall players in. Sunday forecast is 19 with rain. Who knows, Nicholson and McDonald's kicking might look alright if no one else can kick a waterlogged footy!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
