Would get on us if we were at the $26 level, but no way at $11.

Best value IMO is the Dogs. After realising their gameplan has been compromised, they will refocus.

If I could get on them for a top 4 now, I would.

Eagles at $11 are a ridiculously good bet.

They were a kick away from a home Prelim, and that was without Hansen, Butler, Cousins or Kerr.

Certain Grand Finalists next year IMO ... they will win 15-16 games regardless.


They should only play AFL games now when it's raining. Slow games of footy are so much better to watch.

How often are the 'bookies' accused of being 'generous'?

These odds are obviously what they reckon the 'market' is today.

The day they offered my $13 on Melbourne Victory to win the A-League last year? Zing :D

Seriously, West Coast at those odds is a song, and the Bulldogs are surely worth $5.


Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.

I reckon Brisbane at $26 is OK too, but Weagles do seem a stand-out.


I once spent a year in Adelaide, I think it was on a Sunday.

I think I will follow the advice given to me by an old guy many years ago;

DON'T BET ON ANYTHING THAT BREATHES !!

Brisbane at $26 is a decent choice imo.

Lost 7 in a row this year, yet were just off the finals. Should improve greatly next year, similar to port this year.

20 on both the Eagles and Lions for me.

If we win money is irrelevant...will put the 6 slabs on credit and watch the game every day for 3 months. :twisted:

The bookies are nut jobs but they are good odds. They reckon we are finished without Judd.

We finished in the top 4 without Cousins, a 20% fit Judd, no Embley for 11 games and Hansen. Im proud we did well.

If Judd is going to the dees im stoked hopefully we can get two good picks I watched the WA 18's State Comp and there heaps of young gun midfielders like Cale Morton, Rhys Palmer (GUN), Chris Masten who WCE cant wait to recurit.

Getting knocked out in straight sets isn't something to be terribly proud of?

to be honest, i reckon we are the second best vistorian team, or at least equal second

kangaroos were never really any good, is an absolute joke they made it as far as they did, the results against Port and Geelong say it all

Hawthorn and Collingwood, played a few good games when needed, but i would back us against both of them easily

worst odds there are Freo, no good at all

best are the Lions, i reckon they're certainties for at least the 8 next year

Only if the 15 other teams all get food poisoning before playing them.

The Frockers are a joke, I reckon they will never win a flag.

Simple.....get all our players on the park and we're a $9 team.....

The betting companies are just covering their asses.....

If we get fit.....healthy.....our odds will dip lower and lower.....

No need 2 put us at $26.....

If we get all the boys on the park.....were a massive chance at a flag
