AFL 2014

[Ron Burgundy]

At an early look I like the Bullies v NM Over 196.5 @ 1.91

[valleys07]

I am liking St Kilda H2H and Essendon at the line so far.
Will wait until teams are released to pull the trigger though.

Not sure about the Saints SD- pretty easy to defend melbourne with no recognised forward.

The saints will have a tough time combating Patton and Cameron, and I also rate GWS' midfield group as superior to Melbourne's.

im not sure about the sainters, yeah they beat the Dees, but the Dees poor kicking for goal could've changed the result

[bennymacca]

GWS are also going to take the game on too, ball should be coming in much quicker.

guessing GWS is the favourite in that game? what is the line for them? (cant check, im at work)

[mighty_tiger_79]

The betting was gws $1.85 v $1.95 from memory

[Dutchy]

Interesting looking at last year, the 4 teams that played the first week of Round 1 Adelaide, Essendon, Freo & WCE all won in Round 2 after having a weeks break, except for WCE who had the Hawks. Looking back the year before the Swans won in R1 and won again in R2 after a weeks break.

That would indicate Freo, Port, Gold Coast & GWS might go OK this weekend, will be interesting to see the results.

EDIT - GC & Freo are playing each other!

[bennymacca]

crows/geelong played thursday too, so they had a fair break. reckon the sunday teams, if they are playing against a team from week 1, will definitely have an effect.

Hayes and Montagna back in to the midfield will sure it up there. Along with this, the saints won't want to lose to GWS for points like the did in their practice match.

Jones to Ward, Greene to Montagna. Hayes h2h with Treloar, and Coniglio, Scully & Whitfield up against Armitage, Dunstan & Saunders. Not forgetting Mumford will monster Hickey for experience & First use.

I think the mids battle is pretty evenly contested, but GWS will win if they can find a way to restrict Riewoldt without Davis, their forwards are far more potent than that of the saints if Roo is well held.

[bennymacca]

great point about davis, he is the perfect defender to handle riewoldt, and they might struggle to do that without him.

Yes, looking at it that way does make sense, but I don't think Jones will "tag" this week after what he was able to produce last week. You add to that GWS have only won twice outside of Sydney and they don't have a back to go with Roo. I think I will go with my Saints H2H still.

A little multi for the weekend:

0.5 stakes

Richmond +24.5 handicap / Hawthorn 1-39 / GWS win / Fremantle 1-39 / Sydney win @ 16.28.

Fair call SD- well one of us will come up correct

HAHA, I was just thinking I'll bitch and moan when it doesn't get up
There's a lot or iffy bets this week. What do you think of Sunday's game - Dogs v Roos?

[Sorry Dude]

Kruezer and Watson to be late withdrawals for tonight.
Will be on the Tigers for sure now.

[bennymacca]

Roos surely can't play that bad again. Should beat the dogs easily imo. Reckon they will bring in currie or daw to really stretch the dogs for height

Personally, Dogs v Roos is a definite no bet game. I think the Roos will win but am not willing to touch it- Dogs line could be the go if you wanted a bet (i say that with complete uncertainty though! )..

Jackson MacRae most disposals will be a market I might have a small dabble at. With Griffen back in the side, I reckon he and Liberatore will fight it out.

Not worried about the weather Dutchy?
