Stupid odds for prelim. They must have plenty of money on us.

I wish I could believe you but when was the last time we beat a top 8 side by anywhere near 50 points?

They are down millions if the saints win the flag so the odds for this week could be to throw the barracuda punters circling the saints off the scent and hopefully attract the opportunists towards the dogs.

im tipping there is a fair bit of coin on the pies to compensate the bookies if the saints win?

With all due respect to St Kilda, they are well over the odds. 3pts and 7pts last 2 games (admittedly no Cooney for them and + Rooey for us) and the NAB towelling- yes if I were a neutral I'd be hopping on Footscray at the line.

I reckon there's a 90% chance they'll fold like Freo.

But I am quietly sh1tting myself over the other 10%.

Agree with this. Keep trying to talk myself into it - surely will win.
Then the little 10% of doubt keeps coming back.

The game against Essendon earlier this year where we were very short (around $1.20 I think), keeps coming back to me, then I think surely not.

Everyone thinks we'll do it. I so hope they are right.....

I don't get into this odds stuff, but I think once Saturday morning comes and people realise "oh wow, there's actually another game tonight' we may see some movement on the Dogs?

Now $5.00 and $1.18 - obviously a terribly one sided game that the AFL should avoid. Perhaps they should just call the whole thing off and send us on our way to the GF.

Can they do that? Sounds good to me as i could be elsewhere tonight.

I am hoping the Saints take the game on in light of last nights game just to unsettle the Pies a little. they were dominant last night and will be full of confidence, if we grind out a win they will turn up with high expectations. Could be good to not hype them up, but personally I'd like them to go hard.
