    interesting comments, seems most are confident.  I see it as 50-50. i think the odds are more based on hype in the media. 

    If  your assessment of a 50-50 is correct  then hawks at 2.20 is brilliant value.

    However the market suggests your assessment is not correct, hence why we are 1.70.

    The pools for footy betting are way too big to be overly influenced by hype in the media. Hype in the media might influence tipping but the odds are initially set by bookies who'se key expertise in this regard is getting the odds right. Punters then respond to that assessment and shape the ensuing odds by betting their hard earned money. Not much room for media hype to be a big factor (or sentiment fir that matter).

    Apparently so , they have a few umpires injured so he still gets a game, it was the first thing I asked.

    yeah and bookies never get it wrong huh?   (retorical)

    firstly 50-50 is my prediction (opinion) on a game yet to occur so it cannot be incorrect.  Secondly, Odds are full of BS. one eyed supporters betting on their team influences odds and media certainly would influence them. How else would the Dees be favourite the beat Geelong in round 1?  2nd vs 9th from the previous year

    I went to a game at Glenferrie Oval, so many years ago. There was a # 26 there that day. He kicked 8 to half time then Biffin and Bourke fell on him. I will never forget that day or that # 26 ever. 

    If we get # 26 again on Sunday perhaps Hogan can fall on him. That ought to do it.

    That’s a lot of finals experience gone right there. 

    We can beat Whorethorn, it’s how well the Coaches prepare and the leaders do their stuff. 

    So often Whorethorn just obliterate teams early, the MFC have to dictate most of the game

    whilst people are potting umpires... does anyone actually RATE any of the umpiring fraternity, and if so who and why?

    Lewis is still here though.............

    Our biggest problem remains between the ears - concentration, application and decision making. This is what cost us finals last year. It remains to be seen if we have improved - the results over the next 3 games will be telling.

    Of couse bookies get it wrong. Though they make their profits by being less wrong than the mug punters.

    i didnt say your prediction waa incorrect. i said the market suggests it isnt. The art of punting - and rhw only way to makw money ovee time - is accurately assessing  the odds of something happening and if the market has that event at longer odds taking those odds. So, as a punter, if i thought a game was 50-50 but could get 2.20 foe on the teams i would take that bet.

    Odds are most certainly not bs in terms of being accurate predictors od the results of football games. And as i said rhe pools so big that the impact  factors such as media hype or one eyed supporters is negligible.

    Do you really think the dees started fav against geelong because of one eyed supporters? 

    The bookies actually opened us at 2.20 just prior to our second jlt game. We played well, geelong not so well and the market tightened. But we only became favourite when it was announced danger would't play. We started at 1.85, so only very slight favourites. And we missed a goal from 20 metres dead in front after only xonceding 17 points in rhe secind half and dominating the last. I think the odds were pretty accurate.

    Explain your logic.

    It really doesn't make sense.

    Which part? I think its a coin toss Game but have a feeling we might get done by the Hawks. I think we match up well against Richmond and we have a tendency to get up for big games so I think we might win that one.

    Saturdays game against Whorethorn is just as big for us as the Anzac day game

    Shaun Burgoyne is definitely out,   listed 2 weeks on the Hawks injury report.

    Will be nice to not have to worry about him.

    If Frost can ‘accidentally’ take Mitchell’s head off with a stumbling, collapsing hip ‘n’ shoulder, we might go alright?

    Hawks by 5 goals for mine......

    Even though I like the executable element of this scenario, I feel sorry for Mitchell  ... please believe me ... just a little ... OK then, don't.

    Frosty is the Man! Just hope that his 'accidental' fall a la hip & shoulder doesn't hurt him.

    I think we will win by over 40 points. Hawthorn are still on the slide IMO. We are a side on the up, who hasn't played up to our potential this year. I think it clicks on Sunday and we win rather easily. Gawn negates McKovey in the ruck, Oliver gets first use, and Hogan kicks a bag.

    Mitchell's influence on a match imo is minimal. I don't see him as much of a playmaker. When Hawthorn win, it's because they're rebounding out of defense and their forwards are delivering. No Burgoyne is a huge out for them, and if our forwards can pressure and negate opposition rebounding as they have in the last 2 rounds, Mitchel could end up with 50 touches and we'll still win by 40 points.

    I like your optimism, but I understand Razor Ray is umpiring...

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
