AFL Rd. 18.

[MrChristo]

43-30 (+10.77)

Nice easy one to start with...

Essendon/Geelong/St. Kilda (1.75) [2 units]

Can't see another week of 'dogs like the one just gone.
3 teams who are far too good for their opp, and shouldn't have too many problems... :shrug:

 

[PAWAQATSI]

hmmmm............I don't see North in there mate :mj03:


Must be a typo



:shrug:

 

[bombercoops]

:mj07: Always the comedian paw! Should be a tight low-scoring game up here on the coast! Flip the coin for a winner? :shrug:

 

[MrChristo]

:mj07:

Kangas av'ing 78.8 ppg in 6 interstate trips this year...

...just 2 wins, by 2 and 6!

Brisbane just have to wander down the highway...and won by 31 with 16 extra shots in Rd. 10. :shrug:

Like a couple of totals, but finally a quiet week I think.

(Time for some NFLX viewing )

Roos/Bris game would be a decent one to watch if it wasn't played at carrara! Talk about a bad place to watch a game of footy.....takes the cake in the modern era, surely! Although I guess there is Manuka and darwin?? :shrug:
Anyways, Sydney in all sorts with injuries and form and have burnt me in recent weeks. Like the dogs to get back some form and actually run out a game this weekend against the swans as 14.5 fav's! 2 units please!

Dogs -14.5 x 2 units

YTD: Not very impressive........ 15-14= even stevens!

 

[MrChristo]

Yeah...at least it's AT a decet place...

...you ever been to Canberra?! :scared :mj07:

Sydney v. Doggies under 180 (2.14)

Speaking of!
...Swans are missing 7.5 from the last meeting (2008 SCG) with Goodes, O'Loughlan, Playfair and Buchanan out...there were only 91 I50's and 46 shots in that game anyway.
The meeting before that was @ Canberra (as this game is), was 157...and Swans have 9.5 missing from that team! (Schnider kicked 3)
Take out the game v. a god-awful Port (worst D i the last 4 games ) and the Dogs haven't topped 25 shots in their last 4 (@ 23) and have the 4th worst attack in that time @ 2.03.
Swans allow just 20 shots per game @ home this season (in NSW), but I do think they'll struggle to score themselves.

27. MrChristo Chris 11.48 21 534 156.16

Herald Sun weighted tipping. (out of 49,222 apparently)

Good news...no. 1. from Tassie...bad news, I would have made a hell of a lot of cash just betting on winners this year. :142smilie

Really bad news...I would have been 3rd overall if I had have left Richmond paying about 8.50 @ Freo in Rd. 4, which I swapped at the last minute. Still haunting me... :nono:


Adelaide v. Carlton either under 24.5 (1.97)

Blues will find it far harder to score here than they have recently against some poor teams (Swans away, Dogs in dome), but clearly Crows are struggling to score too...haven't topped 25 shots in their last 6 @ 20.6.
Will be all out efense from the Crows I suspect...won the first meeting by 30, but just 5 more shots...3 of the previous 4 meetings ended under 20 point margins, with just a Crows smacking as 1.07 favs in the middle!
Low scoring, Crows will find a way to keep it tight, 'cause I don't think they can win by more than 4 goals!

 

[MrChristo]

Freo v. West Coast over 185.5 (1.85) :0corn

 

[bombercoops]

Nice hit on the crows/blues under christo. Have been some good games of footy this week with the port/saints game no exception halfway thru the last term atm. Dogs cover keeps me smiling for the weekend as I'm sure it would for you C for different reasons. Roos comeback was solid last night too pawa. I'm sure you watched the game, they seem to find a way to win the tight one's.

Anyways, back in the black!
YTD: 17-14= +2 units

 

[MrChristo]

:toast:

Yeah, Dogs still weren't super impressive today, but I'm still not exactly sure what to expect down the stretch with absolutely nothing to play for...given we already have a first final booked with the Hawks.

Bombers making a late charge too mate...and Kangas are still probably te second best team in the comp on form right now! :scared

3-1 (+2.32) for 46-31 (+14.09)

Been a healthy last month or so.

 

[bombercoops]

Yeh, has been a strong past month for you paw. That positive in front of the 14 is getting larger by the week mate! Good work!
Hawks the second best team for mine still and the only team that can press the cats come finals time. In saying that tho, hawks/dogs should be a ripper a month down the track.
Dons looking alright but the late charge will fall a game or two short one would think- precentage really hurting also. Final 8 teams are the top 8 occupying teams atm IMO. Looking forward to playing your mob in 3 weeks from now christo!
