I'm curious as to on what logic the Saints are favourites? We're shorter priced v GWS for round one of the real stuff. ?

We haven't beaten them for 10 years.

There's no logic. The odds don't represent percentage likelihood of winning/losing. Probably Saints fans are keener punters and more of them have put more money on, leading the bookies to drop the payout to protect themselves.

I understand the betting odds don't represent statistical odds but there's still a personal logic behind where people put their money. If it's just Saints fans distorting the figures then fair enough because they do seem from the outside to be fairly misguided re. the state of their list. Dees by four and half goals. Go Dees!

We're going to need all hands on deck for our round 1 match against GWS (it's so imperative that we win that round 1 clash and then knock off Essendon)

So, I hope our new players, fringe players and those out to prove themselves show a bit but most importantly, no injuries please.

 

If freo lose, which they look like doing then..

 

we only have to beat the Saints to win the NAB challenge :D

just a competitive hit out with no injuries plz, if we take home the 0pts that's a bonus

I did some some maths. If we improve 10% on our best offensive and defensive NAB results in our fixture v. St. Kilda we will finish top of the Nab-ladder. I left school at 14 though: math may be inaccurate.

This'll be our first game that I can get to a pub and watch it.

Would appreciate a good win, partly so nobody blames me if we lose!

Plus, I honestly need to learn some faces properly - too many games just on radio/online last season for me. So, would be very helpful if all the new guys did at least one spectacular amazing thing to help me remember them.
