    $7.50 to make the GF.....wow. They’ve still got a bit to prove in my eyes, bit too short for me to have a dip.

    I'm curious. Why would we be shorter odds to be Premier than Top of Ladder? I'm trying to work out the mathematical logic. Someone who's a punter might be able to explain. Surely it's harder to be Premier?

    Maybe it's as simple as there being more money for us as Premier (relative to other teams) than there is for us to be on top of the ladder.

    Hmm, that's an interesting one yeah. Trying to think of some rationales. Main one would be that people don't see the Demons as a team which will win constantly all season, but they do see us as being capable of putting a surge of form together to win through the finals.

    Those odds would suggest 'they' think we are about 50/50 to make the finals, and if we make the finals, we're about 50/50 to be top 4, and if we are in the top 4 we're about 50/50 to make the grand final, and if we make the grand final, we're about 50/50 to win the premiership.

    One coin toss at a time?

    There's a difference between finishing top of the ladder and winning the premiership. Unless you're new to AFL.

    I think we are ready with some  very good capable players and with  enough experience now to make an assault at the Flag. Barring any major injuries take the 13 dollars for PREMIERS, you won't get those odds after we beat the pussie cats.  The depth  runs deep.              IT'S TIME BOYS.

    Who was the last team to finish on top of the ladder at the end of the home and away season and go on to win the GF?

    Anyone able to confirm whether the "top 4" bet is for end of H&A or end of finals? Eg Bulldogs finished 7th in 2016 then won the flag, if you had them for top 4 would you get the win? I assume not but it doesn't seem right.

    Collingwood? Hawthorn in 2015?

    End of home and away season.

    I re-read ldvc’s question again, I read it in-correctly the first time.

    Why shouldn’t we give things a good shake? At stages of the 2017 campaign we were scraping the bottom of the barrel in personnel terms, with the stupid suspensions and the cataclysm of injuries we suffered. Add Lever and Hogan to the line up for most of our season and all things being equal we are a two-goal a game better side, even if we see no improvement in other areas of our game. Brayshaw, Petracca, Oliver and Viney being fed by Gawn will be a formidable midfield for anyone to contend with.

    And all of the top of the ladder interstate teams of recent years have capitulated dramatically when it came to the MCG grand final. Much easier for them to dominate their home games all year and then put in a half hearted 50/50 effort away and still finish on top or close to it. If we're 13/1 to win the GF, then 15/1 is too short for top of the ladder. Should be far bigger odds.

    Schmucks are schmucks until they prove otherwise. 20-1 would be more reasonable odds.

    before the last round of last year we were paying $11 to miss finals

    and now we are similar odds to win the flag before the seasons starts

    You can fluke a premiership without being the best team all year like the Bulldogs or Tigers. You can't fluke top of the ladder ithout being the best team all year.

    We are a much greater chance of inning the premiership than finishing on top.

    The best bet is Melbourne to win the women's premiership at $5.

    Betting on the MFC  aka throwing away money and having your heart broken again.

    Sounds like a great deal.

    I suppose that depends if you’re betting on them to win or lose.

    The Tigers weren't the best team all year??

    Geez, they were damn close...

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
