At Least I Saw a Flag

Free kick Bulldogs

Bulldogs looking switched on.

50 metre penalty ... facepalm

Jones out ... Hannan in

Sportsbet Demons $1.90 Doggies $1.90. Genuine 50/50 match. Result depends on which side is switched on ... Demons ... please don't cough up a goal in the first minute or 2 ... it could be the margin at the end.

McAvaney ... duck ... duck ... duck ... duck .... duck ....

Agree. So often It's the exact opposite.

Of course not ... he plays for a big club, so that's ok.

I don't think this will end up being a close one. GC will run out of steam.

May has to take Naughton. Bruce is terrible. If he plays, I'd suggest Hibbert. Wallace is more problematic. Perhaps Lockart would get the first crack at him. If he gets off the leash, then perhaps Harmes, then Hibbert?

Not sure why you call it a soft draw. We HAD a soft draw by reason of a poor 2019, but covid-19 intervened. Each team plays each other once. Other than home ground advantage to some teams, it couldn't be a fairer draw.

The initial odds are set by the bookies. (It was $1.90/$1.90.) Adjustments are made based on bets placed. So, in this instance a lot more people have obviously been backing the filth.

Sportsbet odds Filth $1.65 Dees $2.25

The filth have no connection with Victoria Park other than their VFL side plays home games there.

Port have not been competitive. The umpires should adopt the junior footy practice of giving random free kicks to players who haven't had any kicks.

Point of order ... The filth headquarters/training facilities are in Olympic Boulevard, not Swan Street.

If it's going to be damp, Jetta would be a reasonable inclusion. Lower centre of gravity, and good one on one.

Exactly. If he can't fill in for the next week or two at a passable level, what use is he to the Club?

Stephenson ... Thomas .... Elliott ... such annoying worms.

I hate the filth. I also hate Essendon ... possibly even more than I hate the filth.

GWS ... 2 goals from 'free kicks' ... free in every sense of the word.

Sportsbet have the odds at Demons $1.90 Filth $1.90

Correct. Given their percentage a draw puts them effectively in the same position as a win.

Greenwood (GCS) and Matthew Newton - separated at birth.

How often have Crows' kicks been smothered?
