Punters Say Geelong Cats Got Recruiting Raid Right

I really don't get it, all bias aside. Our only real losses are Cross and Howe, the latter of which is questionable. We have by my count 8 new additions (including 4 who missed most/all of last year) that will be amongst the best 22. If nothing else this is a massive increase in our depth and competition for spots. Then when you look at the list you could pretty much say that perhaps everyone bar jones, vince and dunn has a higher level to take their game to compared to what they contributed last year, either due to inexperience and/or form. Our first-to-third year group of talent is surely as good as anyone in the competition. Then you realise it's the third year of a rebuild that can be proven to be on an upwards trajectory (see my signature). I don't see the logic in suggesting we will not improve.

PS As I noted recently in another thread, our fixture shows 13 matches against teams we beat last year and/or finished higher than.

It seems that there are 8 teams competing for the last 3 spots in the 8.

Richmond

North

Dogs

Adelaide

Port

Gws

Collingwood

Melbourne

Assuming that Hawks, Eagles, Fremantle, Sydney and geelong will be too 5

Will be a tough year to crack the 8

In all honesty its hard to see teams above us on that chart being overtaken by us (apart from essendon).

I do think it will happen though, im just not sure who we will overtake.

And even more importantly I would think that Jones' year wasn't one of his better years due to his neck injury. So am expecting even better things from him (compared to 2015) which just reinforces your point about our price being way over the odds.

Quite interesting. In talking with other similarly minded folk tonight those odds seem laughable.

There is NO way anyone can really kniw...it's footy after all.

Some teams will respond to the interchange cap, others won't, i expect it to suit Freo and Sydney in a big way, i think Bennell can get Freo over the line for their first flag this year.

Wonder what the Bulldogs premiership odds were at the start of last season? Or Port's a few years before that?

It's really irrelevant what the bookies think about how we'll perform. The fact they have Essendon above us is laughable enough, considering what CAS could smack them down with in a few weeks.

I personally think Geelong have [censored] themselves trying to hold on. Scott can't build a list and is [censored] up their future to salvage his career.

If Selwood or Danger go down injured they will slump so hard

I have no problem with $101/1 for the flag. We are no chance at all

Much more interested in the odds for the eight. If we are long odds for that too there may be money to be made

as you might be able to guess, the top8 odds pretty match match the premiership odds order exactly

meaning we are third last at 11.00 which is actually a drop of three ladder places from last year

absolute garbage

I won't be betting though as I think we will win 10-11 and finish around 11th on the ladder

Give me a hundred-and-one parallel universes and we still wouldn't win the flag; so I'd say those odds are generous (or stingy, since we'll never pay out cause we won't win one).

Why would they have Essendon above Melbourne, effectively implying that Essendon would improve next year? And it seems to ignore that nearly a third on their list could well be sitting out next season (or more), watching on from the stands, after the CAS drugs outcome.

Well if they know Essendon fans like I do, they are a monte to win the flag this year.

I reckon if my mate saw those odds he'd throw on $50 and right up to the final siren be adamant that they would win the flag.

Why? Because the odds are determined by the amount of money held by the bookies on each team, not by the bookies' own opinion. In effect, this means that right now more money has been bet on Essendon than on Melbourne.

What signature?

If I was a bookie and I knew Dees punters were big punters traditionally, I'd be installing them at $101 too. Make it attractive #money4jam

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
