Joined you on Richmond, only on later at -10.5 @ 1.90. Hawks with six of best eight/ten out, more rookies and a little behind in prep. Might find Richmond depth & quality too much to handle.

NZ +4.5  2u
Melbourne v NZ under 166.5 1.5u
NZ to win it $5.50
Not sure why Melbourne are a strong favourite. NZ lost by 1 in Melbourne on the flop and won the other 3, 2 of which were pretty meaningless the other Warrick was out.
If it is a finals grind tempo I think this clearly favours NZ.
Average scores for each team on the season 168 and 166 by my calc, so not much of a stretch for it to go under.

^ eh, you know they'll just give it to Suzi again 

Played, Townsville +1 @ 1.90
No rest & bus trip but low mins from starters last night. Hopefully seeing top spot present itself combined with depleted opp doesn't proove that great a downfall. Seem on a focussed road weekend and with talent advantage should be enough to make it a fight, at least.
Ps. Backed this with Nigerian bookmaker who sent me email this morning.

hmmm... having lost twice at home as heavy favourites to Bendigo this season should, SHOULD negate that to a degree. But yeah, suddenly Bendigo has a reason to feel like the big underdog again. 

100% .. those dual voices in your head, one cursing the lack of lead at HT, the other reassuring you that their coach is stripping the paint off the walls during the break and shit is gonna get real in the 2nd half 

HT: 32-31, we're not exactly dominating it! Are bets on Rangers tonight tax deductable?

Rumour is Swords is out with a hand injury. Ebzery did the Rio trip while all Bendigo players are fresh. My definite lean is Bendigo, although I'd like a touch more price about this mob .

Thought you'd run up a few all of a sudden. Picked up six units myself across Oz basketball this round, just as a reminder that it does happen.

Effing 0-3 night at one point, with no possible escape. But instead I'm off to the burger joint! The heart really didn't need that Mitchell foul at 00:07 Got some play on the market later in the day & 6.0 would have given me a half unit win on the 'cap. But, hey, I'll take seven!

Sydney lost the rebounds 35-19 but (without rechecking) I think they lose the stat a lot. Certainly relative to performance, anyway. Swords 198cm but doesn't grab enough. Still, if there's two teams destined for the GF on their program & grit, it's probably Perth & Sydney.

The old tactic again .
I feel blessed to steal a push at Dandenong, always looked too hard. Although those friendly rolls Rangers had too many of really got on my nerves!

i think the low continuity/lack of long term players has a bit to do with it. the blow ins from gold coast have been their the longest bar creek without doing the research, and creek trys to sell himself to afl so isn't exactly heart and soul. NZ and Perth are pretty strong arguments for stability, plus their appears little interest or commitment. the half assed double team back court trap they were trying continually was giving townsville 4 on 3 and easy baskets.
also i think they have too many ordinary players and would be better off with a one or two better ones. getting rid of some of ebe, walker,  petrie, creek and teys for a couple of better players would be better.
several of the wnbl sides seem to be doing fine with pretty much 7 player rotations.
 

It works for you everytime. My trick is to mark up the spreadsheet with a loss. Unfortunately it just got me a half push at Dandy.
