Was trying to do some research on the size of the betting pool to understand what it took to move odds but couldn't find anyhting on point.

I did however come across some 2015 research by Roy Morgan that contained some fascinating info including the following:

"Not surprisingly, people who support an AFL team are more than twice as likely as the average Australian to bet on the sport, with 5.0% having at least one flutter on a match in the 12 months to March 2015. But that’s nothing compared to paid-up members of AFL clubs, 13.4% of whom bet on AFL — suggesting that the stronger a supporter’s involvement, the higher the likelihood of betting on matches

Of the League’s 18 teams, Melbourne Demons supporters are the most likely to take a punt on AFL (10.1% doing so in an average 12 months), ahead of North Melbourne Kangaroos (8.4%) and Fremantle Dockers supporters (7.9%)."

Should have won this one last year with a far less developed & settled list. I remember the umps went coast-to-coast on us in the last quarter - physically trying to blow the ball over their goal line with a whistle - remarkable.

Smash them tonight you good things.

Maybe it's because I haven't seen us beat Meth Coast at Subi in 19 years (I was holidaying in Europe in 2002 win) that has me going tonight not confident of seeing us win. Watts and Jones out hurts us but good teams find a way. If we turn it into a scrap we win because we're harder than them. We must bring that pressure game from the get go to have a chance

 

dees by 40+

You heard it here first.

I'm heading to the game. If Darling flops around and plays for frees and is payed them, I will contemplate running onto the ground and throwing up on him.

We had to have some sort of interest during the down years... Back us at the usual 60+ line & barrack for that, knowing we wouldn't get near a win

Back in the dark ages we could see exactly how bad we were. Sure bet we were going to lose.

not today, however. Dees by 4 goals.

Great. You're on!

 

We wil miss Wattsy's accuarate kicking / sense of occasion and Jonesys prescence leadership and sense of occasion . 

We need to take up the slack and get goals from Cam and Gawn as well as the usual goalkickers . 

Take the umpires out of the equation with a nice 16 point buffer

And to think that they wasted a Nobel prize on that stuff that Bob Dylan wrote when it should have been yours Ethan.

Come gather 'round Demons
Wherever you roam
And admit that the Eagles
Around you are stoned
And accept it that soon
You'll be flying back home.
If your season to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better keep winnin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.


Jones out is a massive loss, bigger than Hogan and possibly Gawn.

The Eagles aren't great but play above themselves at home.

I'm not holding my breath that Gawn will have a huge impact first up, I'm tipping he spends a lot of time up forward. 

We just must capitalise on our current ladder position, no getting complacent now.

If we win it will be one for the ages.

dees easily.. i hate to say that. but believe that we should go in confident against most teams. they ain't playing great. i reckon this we're gonna continue our run & be entrenched in the 4 by the end of the weekend.

Image result for power spew   like this, Ethan?

Dees by 61 points 

Bernie vince best on ground playing mostly in the middle to cover chunk 

gawn dominating the hit outs and pedo to kick 4 goals. I think it'll be a midfield battle and gawn gives us an edge. 

Beating the eagles in Perth without jones, watts and hogan clearly stamps our status as premiership threat 

+4.5 line now into 1.80 on UBet. Still $2.05 head to head but must be a big out for the Eagles. Have heard Priddis might not front.

I genuinely think we could win this game by a truck load if we bring the pressure we did last week.

We really should tag Mitchell.

Yep, wouldn't mind seeing Bernie do that job and melksham follow yeo around 

$1.89 eagles dees $1.95 something is going on that's a big turn around 

i got on at $2.51 and my cash out option is already more than I put on


WCE at home is no easy feat, infront of their nutbag crowd and on their unique sized oval.

I personally think we might cop a 30-40 point smacking, and wake some of our group up that finals isn't a lock yet.

Hopefully I am wrong, because a win over there without 2 of of our top 5 players is a HUGE statement.

Equal favourites now on Luxbet. $1.92 each of two.

So, who is this mythical big out?

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
