    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.

  • Quote

    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!

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
