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.

    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

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
