AFL: Round 19

[bombercoops]

A few good games to look forward to this weekend including the pies/brisbane clash and west coast/adelaide game. Richmond +8.5 looks appealing as the saints are ordinary when starting favs and the tiges can no doubt win this game. 2.20ish straight up
looks good. 3.60 for the dogs isn't such a bad price either Cristo. Pawa, do you think your boys will get it done on sunday? Few tough games this weekend to try and pick winners for.

bomber...

bomber...

...you know the distance between your house and my house?.....Well that's how close the Doggies will get to Essendon this weekend.

Essendon/Sydney/Port @ 1.80ish good value.

Like Brisbane @ 1.97! Should get the job done at the MCG, would have been a different story at the dome, but Brissy need this one...Still a class about the Maggies.

Also Melbourne @ 2.00.

 

[bombercoops]

I take it there will be nothing on the side between the two of us Cristo as far as this weekends game is concerned?:shrug: Also tipping brissy to win in a ripper. Are the dees the play on friday night Cristo?

 

[PAWAQATSI]

My Roos will get it done bomber. I've actually scored some reserved seats and room passes so I can go 'join in the chorus' after the match!!
The system almost selects the Cats and Magpies but I'll spill the beans on the three actual picks tomorrow night when I have more time. I'm not real happy with em'

 

[PAWAQATSI]

Hey Beasty!! Where you been???

I see you lurking in the shadows mate

 

[bombercoops]

Confident pawa! Has the makings of a very good game and hope for your sake you get to sing the chorus come late sunday arvo. On the other hand though, a loss would definitely help to truly entrench my dons in the 8 Either way mate, hope you enjoy the game and look forward to seeing what the system selects for the week.

 

[MrChristo]

Rightio then.....

Looking very seriously at:

Brisbane @ 2.00! No-one to match up on John Brown.

Hawthorn +24.5. LOTS of BIG in's for the Hawks this week. (Hopefully they'll all play!). Sydney great home record, but not winning by big margins lately. Hawks flogged Sydney at MCG earlier in the year. They have Hollnad, Thompson, Hogde amongst others in from that day...Hay main out.
Hawks last chance...I expect them to show a big performance. Big chance to win.

Essendon -24.5. No bet, bomber! Dogs get pumped.

ahem....Freo +10.5?? Kanga's defense is simply too bad to be giving any amount of points. Freo beat Melbourne at G earlier in season...no reason they can't knock off Kanga's.
Will wait for game time tho....don't like the thought of rain.

Huge game...winner makes the 8...Freo played too hard all year to throw it away now. Close win wither way.

Good luck all.

I'm still here reading everyones comments but haven't been posting any plays as I am having a bad season. The luck is just not with me beginning with a 1 point loss in round 1.

Record this year: 29-35 (45%)

The games where the final margin has been within a goal of the spread I have gone 2-6. This includes 2 losses by a point, a 2 point loss, a 3 point loss, a 4 point loss and a goal loss.

I had hoped for an improvement from Round 15 on as last year this from this point on I had a great record but last week going 0-3 proved me this was not going to happen.

It's not all doom and gloom as I do bet other sports and am have some success with them at the moment.

[PAWAQATSI]

Good to hear from you Craig. Bad luck about your AFL season mate but we've all had some bad spells where they don't fall your way. Keep your chin up and battle on.
Hope it turns around for you this week.

Have a nibble on your Crows v Eagles . The 'king' was alright last week!! I haven't discounted them as a 'contender' (when your full side is on the park).

 

[bombercoops]

Think the crows are definitely a legit chance for the flag. If they can finish top 2 and get some home finals, not to mention the fact that they have proven they can play at the 'G', think they will be there late in september. Hope things turn around for you beasty. There's still plenty of time for that to happen mate!

 

[bombercoops]

How about the dees tonight! They've gone from bad to worse to downright terrible and the signs for the immediate future are not looking good. Tomorrow's games are just as hard to pick as tonight's game and not too sure whether to throw down the $$ as yet but like West Coast to hit back at home and brisbane to give the pies some more grand final like treatment and will in a close one. What are you guys thinking on tomorrow's games?:shrug:

 

[PAWAQATSI]

I'm expecting Collingwood to roll the Lions. The Under 39.5 looks real good. I would have taken the Eagles had the system not stopped me and I would have been on the Tigers anyway. Sydney also in a no-brainer!!

 

[TORONTO-VIGILANTE]

sorry everyone....been busy lately.....haven't had the time to cap AFL in depth as i did last week.

2003 YTD: 14 - 7 = +5.58 units

AFL poor man's rushed parlay this week:

Pt Adelaide 1.05
Essendon 1.25
Sydney 1.30

1 unit gets you back 1.71

be careful everyone this week.

 

[bombercoops]

West coast getting pumped at the moment for the first time at home this season. Thought all of the first 3 games of the weekend would have been a fair bit closer. Brisbane proving today that they are once again a contender for the flag with a nice win over the pies. Taking richmond tonight and hoipefully by night's end the system will have gone 2-0 for the weekend. Nice call on Brown by the way Cristo as you were right in that no-one could shut him down.:clap: By the way, there's still time for you to place that wager for tomorrow's game

 

[MrChristo]

Burke's last game guys. :nono:

Saints certainly enough talls to cover Richmond.....Sorry, can't see the Sainters dropping this one.

Still keen on Hawthorn +24.5...will wait for game time, see if all whom are named will take the ground.

I have placed my wager for tomorrow, bomber......Essendon -24.5

 

[MrChristo]

Sydney also in a no-brainer!!

Good thing you have the Express to do your thinking, hey PAWA

2-0 so far with Essendon -24.5 to come. (And possibly Freo).

Good call on the Crows tho, lads.

PS. When I said I didn't expect the Saints to drop the game, I definately didn't expect them to win by 80-odd!!

 

[PAWAQATSI]

Good thing you have the Express to do your thinking, hey PAWA

This is just what you need to see after dropping 3 gorillas. Someone having a snipe at you!! Funny how you start to chirp MrC after a couple of weeks above 50%
Blow it out your ear mofo :gf:

 

[MrChristo]

For **** sake, ease up PAWA!

Last I saw the Express landed at Adelaide!

Didn't know what the hell you were talking about until I checked after I saw this!

Damn boy, not a shot at the system, but (what I thought was) a light-hearted shot at you.

I personally couldn't give a **** how much you win or lose at a time dude, but you might notice it was the Hawks I was concerned about....Didn't have a cent on the Richmond game, just gave my thoughts before hand.

If you can't handle the stress of a losing bet you might want to consider giving it away rather than firing shots at others, mate.

I said well before time that I was on Hawthorn +24.5 and they were a big chance to win. You had no interest in that game so why carry on?

Sorry about the loss, but you're still well up on the year, and I wish you all the best for the weeks to come........Hell, not like we'll see some 'chirping' after your next win?? :nooo:

 

[PAWAQATSI]

Damn boy, not a shot at the system, but (what I thought was) a light-hearted shot at you.

You thought wrong

 

[MrChristo]

Whatever PAWA


Playing Freo +11.5 @ 1.93 (centebet)

Also I see the Bombers down to -22.5, bomber!
Don't know why, but I'm on again

No bloody TV coverage tho Oh well...A chance to watch Freo do their thing

Start of the Port/Carlton game and I can't bloody tell who is who! Freaky!

Actually got my grubby little mits on a Brisbane heratige top. Only 200 available to public so very happy about that
Will more than likely pick up a Doggies one too, think they look fantastic...Although that one might be a little more costly given only the 22 players' tops are going off
