Betting market move

Featured Replies

Chris Judd at one point near the end was about $1.33 with one agency to come to Melbourne

Betting markets like this are for imbeciles

 

Sometimes it's a bad sign more so than a good one.

I wouldn't read too much into the betting plunge, because more often than not it's betting agencies setting up the casual punter.

These agencies really are the lowest form of scum that we have around, they would sell their own mothers these blokes.

U could throw some commentators and journos into that mix too 316.

 

I am really lost with the garbage about not being able to talk to people until after the season. It really is crap - we appointed Neeld while Collingwood were still playing finals. If Williams or Eade want the job, they will talk to PJ and however is left of our board as soon as possible. Then they would be actively starting to plan for their tenure. They all have openings in their contracts regarding senior positions. Seriously the person who takes the role should be going hell for leather to get a senior role not waiting to be contacted on the off chance.

Can I just point out that, ironically, our hiring of Neeld was the prime reason for this new rule.

Eddie blew a fuse when we rattled their flag defence in 2011.

Can't interview with other teams until their season is over.

How workable is it?

I don't know? How big are the fines?

does a cup of coffie count as an interview? surely there would be ways around it

Did anyone watch on the couch? Did Roos say anything?

I don't have foxtel unfortunately so I couldn't watch

He talked us up.

Said we have a nice forward line and a back line, with very good KPP's at both ends.

Just needed to sort the midfield.

He said we have the talent and a good base to work from.

Not really.............Gerard asked him tongue in cheek about the betting plunge, and what did Roos know about it, and he just laughed it off and said nothing has changed since last week.

When they talked about the game later in the show, Roos rattled off Frawley, MCDonald, and Garland saying we had a solid backline combined with Clark, Dawes, Hogan and Watts up forward, and it was really just the mids that need work.

Mike said to him something about Roos having looked over the list, and again Roos just laughed it off.

I've thought since he was originally asked about the job, and refused to categorically rule himself out that we will get him, and after watching him again tonight, I still think we will.

He's on the couch with two MFC supporters, they must be into him to take the job!


I don't think he's interested at all. Robbo on 360 made a comment along the lines of he'd know where his money would go if he was a betting man but didn't give a name. It wasn't Roos that's for sure.

I don't take Roos not denying interest as a positive.

Even if he knows he has no intention of taking the job, I'm sure he'd enjoy the attention, the courting and then inside info he might glean by being involved in the race.

I do think he will take the job though, after we have a board and a GMFO in place, and a priority pick has been confirmed.

$500 on Neil Craig as Senior Coach in 2014.

After watching that I'm no more convinced than I was a few weeks ago. Still confident we have him and it's all a very well orchestrated charade.

Roos finished by saying that he thought there were some really good elements of Melbournes game that have not been properly exposed over the last couple of years. He said there's certainly some positives there.

Healy supports Melbourne in the same way Kevin Rudd was a Gillard government supporter

Mark Williams will be the MFC coach 2014. Feel free to bet the farm. You heard it here first :)

Not sure about that.

Rumours are he would not work with Neil Craig because of their Adelaide days, and it would be a disgrace if we gave Craig the flick just to satisfy Williams ego.

They are just rumours of course.

I am very confident that one of Roos, Williams, Eade, or Craig will be head coach next year.

Not exactly going out on a limb there ... it's a bit like saying Rudd or Abbott will be the next PM!

James Hird.

That's all.

Wish thinking Stuie.

What one person said and did is not actually relevant to what someone else may do in similar circumstances.

That's not to say Roos may not ultimately be our head coach, but to say he could be simply because Hird ruled it out at some point in time and then ultimately took the gig is the stuff of the shock jock world.

IMO Roos will either take the gig or not based on his personal circumstances - and I suspect, at this point in time, something needs to change on that front.

He is not a facsimile of James Hird.

I don't think he's interested at all. Robbo on 360 made a comment along the lines of he'd know where his money would go if he was a betting man but didn't give a name. It wasn't Roos that's for sure.

Did The Sloth actually say that his money wouldn't be on Roos?

Having watched OTC last night, I'm even more convinced that we will get Roos. If he was playing poker, I'd be quietly confident that he had a couple of aces in his hand.

Disclaimer: I thought Scully was going to stay and that, as much as I wasn't a fan, believed Neeld would see out 2013. In other words - put your money on Williams!

I was more thinking Primus, that article the other day was an elaborate ruse, taking the spotlight further away from him.

I have no doubt this thread kicked off all the media speculation yesterday.

Demonland- keeping [censored] journalists employed since 2006.

My point was that we will be coached by an experienced AFL coach with a flag or a winning record.

That is not something we could have said in 07 or 11.

I had no idea so much imbecile could be fit into one statement.

"Australian politics".

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
