Sturt favourites for 2008 flag

[Jimmy]

go you blues!

Its catching on

thats not really APPROPRIATE, don't you think

[Jimmy]

I think you took it out of context Jimmy.
It was just reminding me of when all the bookies and supporters were tipping South to be top last year. It did not happen and blew up in our faces.
I was really saying the bookies and some supporters might get a shock and like you said some supporters have tipped them out the 5 but I do know some (not on this site) that predict a GF spot.
Just relax mate and see how it pans out.

if that was what you were really saying, then why dont you just say it that way in the first place

[bayman]

Easy cop out when you make a mistake Bayman.

no i actually thought mal, punk or mt79 would bite but instead i got you we know bookies read this site & i'm not giving my actual market here although i did give it in my order of favour

[Psyber]

I finally managed to read this thread - until today the laughter at the title has made me unable to keep the mouse steady enough to click on it.

[sturtpeter]

Sturt deserve to be taken seriously as a huge threat for the Flag.

By the way, their current odds represent poor value

[stampy]

You smell fear ?? , I suspect the smell might be the fear of getting in the 5 and dropping out just as quickly again , if not the smell could be the fear changing coaches again , after all he may equal your club record of 4 years , that would give him life membership and long service leave at the bay wouldn't it ?

mate i dont think keane,davies,higgins,trigg,bunton and whoever i have forgotten qualified for any of the above so gimme a break and look in your own backyard willya!!

STURT 3.00
CENTRAL DISTRICT 3.00
NORTH ADELAIDE 5.50
WOOD-TORRENS 7.00
GLENELG 8.00
PORT MAGPIES 15.00
NORWOOD 16.00
SOUTH ADELAIDE 17.00
WEST ADELAIDE 26.00

Thought the Eags might have been a little shorter. I was expecting 6/1.

[G]

Duh. $7 is 6/1 and you can have better than that with me.

the bookie is offering $3.00 which you say represents poor value and in your opinion you have them $3.70

[sturtpeter]

In my book lol 3.70 is better value than 2/1.

[mighty_tiger_79]

In my book lol 3.70 is better value than 2/1.

yes it is

but 70c

i wouldnt have thought REPRESENTING POOR VALUE was the difference of 70c

[TigerBoss]

Doesn't take much to get Sturt fans up in arms...and for the record, have a look through sl.org as you will see that I NEVER wanted Perrie at Glenelg.

Sturt lose in an Elimination Final the year before, recruit a never-was hack, and suddenly they are high odds to win the flag...um, let's settle this debate with a "we'll see".

tb, i think you mean low odds to win the flag

Go U Blues!

Dude, seriously, we should be double figures. We've proven nothing in the past few years since winning the flag, and all of a sudden we're debating whether we should be $3.00 or $3.70. Get a grip.

he has, a very tight one at that!!

ps. the % of your market must be about 160 - thats real sa bookie stuff!!

[GWW]

lol do those odds mean Sturt is 5 more times likely to win the flag than Port

[Wedgie]

Probably a fair call.
Sturt 10 to 1 but Port at 50s might be a bit tight.
Probably 100 to 1.
