Here's the betting for the NAB Cup according to Norm Short Sportsbook. Norm thinks the Swans aren't interested in the competition and we're almost line ball against the Hawks in the first round.

$

5.5 Western Bulldogs

8 Fremantle, Geelong

9 Adelaide, Port Adelaide

10 West Coast, Melbourne

11 St. Kilda

12 Hawthorn

14 Essendon, Kangaroos

17 Enron, Richmond

31 Collingwood

41 Sydney

51 Brisbane

The bookies obviously don't believe in the old adage about being as good as your last game. They were thrashed against the Eagles and now are flag favourites.

Usually an expectation to see a different team winning the NAB Cup. I wouldn't dare post a market for something like this because there's more of a chance the bookies are going to be destroyed by something like Richmond at $17. I think that's worth a little flutter.

Bookies aren't stupid, which explains why sides like Brisbane and Sydney are so far down the odds.

I think that's a fair field. I wouldn't waste even a kopek on the toigs though.

The bookies might not be stupid but surely it's a bit of a stretch having the team that was beaten by one point in last year's grand final at odds of $41.00.

Has Roos stated that he's playing to lose or something?

Not really - but since taking over as coach the Swans have not progressed past the first round since. They didn't win a single pre season match in 05 and had a very lacklustre 06 preseason (including twice losing to fellow preseason slugs Essendon). They play the favourites in the Bulldogs - I'd say save any of your hard earned because it may as well be $141 - the Swans won't even raise a sweat.

I thought the bookies lost more when the favourite gets up.

And if a whole lot of people put a dollar on the Tigers, they won't be at $17 for long. Bookies aren't stupid. ;)

Anyone going to watch the Dees V Hawks on Feb 25th. Hope to see lots of red and blue there. I would rather the real AFL season but will put up with NAB Cup.

ONLY 49days (& weeks ) TO GO. !!!!!

I know that this is slightly off topic, but I read in the HS today, that the AFL will give a bonus of $1,000,000 to the club who can win both the pre-season competition and the Grand-Final. This is on top of the $1,000,000 given to the winning club in September.

We sure could use $2,000,000 and two extra trophies for the cabinet ;)

The dough would be nice but I'm not in it for the money. I'll take the trophies thank you. The money will follow anyway.

What do they give you for winning the pre-season comp these days? A tin-foil plate? :blink:

I think the $1,000,000 is looking much better compared to the insignificant trophy. I'm sure Carlton would give theirs back for a refund :lol:

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
