AFL Rd. 2.

[TazaD]

Carlton -26.5 (1.92 @ Centebet) After a week of largely close games, this one just looks a total mismatch. A genuine top 6 contender v. a team expected to win just a handful of games... ...not that pre-season is anything major to go by (have we got a choice with GC?! :unsure), but they were belted in their last 2 challenge games...3.5 to 14.11 v. Dogs...7.12 to 17.19 v. Brisbane... ...with Dogs clearly underdone and Brisbane expected to struggle. Game is at the 'Gabba, so not even any real disadvantage for the Blues...who really did dominate Richmond last week in all areas in what could have easily been a much bigger win. Nothing ealse I like at this stage. :\ (Will no doubt be some totals and DT bets along the way. :tongue2 )

Re: AFL Rd. 2. 7/10 Gold Coast +28.5 1.92 (Sportsbet) I wasn't convinced by the Blues last week and the Suns should come out firing in their first game. Think many people are underestimating the quality of the Suns' young guns. With the number of 1st round players in there and that most of them are ready-made for AFL after playing with the big boys in the VFL (though not to the same standard as the AFL). Combined with Ablett, Rischetelli, Bock, Harbrow and co, the Suns should come close if not win. Was thinking of going outright win, but play the line to be safe.
