Hola from Spain

Cmon Dees supporters get on board, no more of this they let us down time and time again billtish, it’s time to believe & let the footy team know we believe in them.

If we finish top 4 & get Viney & Hibberd back lookout, this is the start of new era

    $7 for us to miss the Top 8.  Load up on that, and if we win, then monitor other results from the weekend (if North and Geelong both win), and load up again the following weekend when we will be double figures.

    If we lose this week, we'll be in to odds-on to miss the 8.

    I see it as a form of payment for my MFCSS prescription.

     

     I like ypur thinking. I do this. Its called therapy. Wayne carey said this week mfc will be scary in coming years. I suscribe to that theory also and belive dees will win big agaonst a team that hasn't kicked more than 70ish points for mearly 2 months. 

    Oliver gawn brayshaw Tyson hogan etc won't allow it.

    Hun5s forst big run will be the crowd favourite and welcome back.

    You're on. What are the odds?

    And neither do the bookies' computers. I expect setting the odds these days has very little, if any, human involvement. I assume that the computer's algorithm calculates the odds based on the flow and holding of money on each contingency and varies the odds automatically as required.

    Not quite right - though pretty close.

    Human employees at the bookies set the opening price (for win and line bets - all the stupid exotic bets probably are computer generated). Well it is probably more accurate these days to sign of on the price - so to speak- as there probably is a computer based starting point based on their data set. And then adjust the price. This is true of horse racing and sports betting. 

    But yes after that point the market determines the price (and the bookie take their commission). Which is why the starting odd for any given game of AFL are the most accurate predictor of the outcome. Which of course does not mean the outcome of any given game always reflects the odds. But over the course of a season, say, the odds are proven accurate.

    We should be short favorites against the Swans.

    Dee's getting shorter by the hour. Swans out to $3.15 

    That is insane. Or is there something going on we don't know about.

    I hate these odds. Hate them. 

    I never want to go in favourite. Unless Buddy is a late out, there is zero reason for these insane overinflated odds. 

    Has anyone looked at our record against Sydney, or in fact any good side?

    Drifted out to 3.30, we’ve firmed to 1.37

    I enjoy a punt on the nags, not so much the footy. How anyone can back against their side, regardless of the odds is beyond me.

    Head vs Heart, Kenty.  And to be honest, it helps deal with the disappointment if we fail.

    That said, if you weren't a Melbourne supporter, having a bet on us to miss the 8 at those odds is smart punting.  We have a hard run home, we have very recent history of crumbling, and plain and simply, we haven't shown any reason this season that we can be trusted in the games we have in our run home.

    Amazing considering we are without Lever, Viney, Hibberd and Melk.

    Swans only missing Zak Jones.

    Sadly I collected on my bet on the Swans

    I presume that I'll also collect on the bets I put on MFC missing the 8 in a few weeks.

    sadlynI just colleded my $30 for a 10 buck bet.   Hoped I would not but at least it paid for my food etc at the game.   Saw it coming a mile off  unfortunately.   Was hoping I was going to be wrong.     Maybe a win against the odds next week.      They have done it to me again. Should be used to it....  but I am not.     Real chance against GWS at MCG with their injuries.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
