fair enough like a psychological pillow for the pain of losing - I would feel too dirty taking the cash on us losing thought!

I reckon once you're on a good thing stick to it hence my Winx example I loved that horse - $1.10 a time easiest 10% ROI in the world better than bank interest - Dees are a similar proposition at the moment can make 20-30% on a certain win pays for after match drinks or whatever

“A psychological pillow for the pain of losing” I like it. 
And it’s certainly not dirty money, since if my TAB balance is substantially replenished by having lost a match, I donate half to Reach coz Jimmy. ❤️

LOL, I imagine someone at TAB looking at my betting history and being like, “pfft, this chump. Does she even know how to odds?”

Gambling is stupid if you let it dominate you. Personally I put $ on our opponents every week and I’m thrilled to say that I’ve lost so much in the recent past. Pre-2021, not so much. It’s usually only $20 or so (except vs. Essendon where it’s $100 minimum, even if it means going without food and not paying rent for a week). It cushions the blow in the event of a loss (whatever a loss is; been so long I’ve forgotten).

PS: Capital B after the exclamation mark in your first sentence. Need I slap it into you! 🙄

Just send me the money 

your theory is pointless!!

$100 on Essendrug!!!

F That….

Soft opposition that are not up to AFL standard. Could we fall into bad habits? What are demonlanders thoughs?

Fact of the matter EVERY GAME is a danger game, teams know they need to be switched on against us and of course they all want to knock us off our perch. 

West Coast away while east on paper (I mean the tigers slaughtered them by 100+ the other week) has the potential for us to get into lazy Hollywood style habits. The Eagles weren’t great against the Lions but did put in a competitive effort. They also have players that while in their twilight, still have the potential to hurt you. 

The simple answer is if we play our way and our best they won’t get close. If we go in with poor attitudes it could be Adelaide 2021 all over again. Hopefully lessons have been learned from that night.

A little harsh, no?

I don’t think it’s pointless, which is handy since it’s MY theory. 😁

And if $100 on Essendon leaves you nonplussed, get this: a few years ago I put $200 on them to beat us and talked an Essendon mate into putting the same amount on us to win. It was for sh*its n giggles, until he suggested we double it. So we did. And the Dees won. And I don’t regret it for a second. Not a single second.
Turned out he offered to give me back my outlay. Since I’m a proud person I steadfastly declined his offer for about 10 minutes coz while it’s true that I’m proud, I’m not stoopid.

This is an excellent tactic of Goodwin about respecting the opposition, gives them nothing to feed off and makes us hard to hate. Honestly I feel like we are the All Blacks of the AFL.

As someone of NZ heritage who was born in Melbourne in 1965, started following the Dees during the shizen 70’s, before spending the late 70’s in Auckland and latching onto a rugby nation who apparently couldn’t lose (and I follow them still), my barracking life always had a kind of yin-yang balance. Now all I’ve got is YIN!!! [censored] balance, I prefer this.

Betting against our 8-0 side I can’t believe that! At what point do you decide you’re throwing money down the toilet 

It's an insurance bet. Let taking an umbrella so it doesn't rain.

Will it hurt us? Beating up on native Australian fauna does have a degree of hurt to it. Let's find out how much.

we should be aiming to beat WCE by 100.

I’ve got on Ben Brown for the Coleman so shouldn’t hurt my chances. Currently on 15, should be leading the goal kicking by round 11

%. I know this is projecting really far fwd but we have Freo (Perth), Carlton (MCG) and Brisbane (Qld) in 3 of the last 4 weeks. Hopefully % doesn't matter but if it does I want it to be higher than Brisbane and Freo. I want us to finish top 2 and get a home final. 

The next two games will hurt us if we cop injuries. Otherwise I expect we collect the 4 points with minimum fuss and move on
