TazaD Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Re: AFL Football - Round 6 (May 4th - 6th) Yeah, would have been well shitty if that had lost...bad kicking and what, 8 posters!! :eek Still, ya gotta love those 'handy points' :lol Taken for the rest of the round... Collingwood +17.5 WC -21.5 and maybe my favourite bet of the year so far...Geelong -11.5 Make no mistake, Richmond are every bit as bad as they seem! 5 smallish losses, but all have been by 16 or more. Dropped Tivendale, who I think has been one of their better players...Gaspar, who sucks, but still is a big body against a big Geelong forward line. Geelong? Yep, beaten the two bottom teams...gunna make it the bottom 3 now! :D Last 2 weeks haven't been at all surprising (been cursing myself all wek for not playing the Kangas :wall )...first ever game in Launny, and bad kicking cost the game... ...last week, sure at 'home', but it isn't really...they have lost more than they've won over the last couple of years down there. Why? Because this team is build for the dome. Fast, skillful midfield...but relatively soft...and a big forward line...which was basically left to two boys to try to kick a winning score last week in slippery conditions. Ottens back this week, the harsh words told by coach and players alike after last week, perfect conditions v. a crap team, and I really think the Cats lay an absolute smacking on the Tige's in this one. :ok Good luck for the rest guys. :cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Re: AFL Football - Round 6 (May 4th - 6th) Hi all, Sob story to tell. Why did Carlton have to lose by +39.5 Cant believe they coughed up so many goals in the final term. Margin was 15 at 3quarter time. Then Blues had a chance to get it under margin with late shot at goal, naturally hit the post though. $10 multi gone Had Blues to beat West Force W Kohlshreiber to beat Grosjean W Broncos to beat Rabbits W Robredo to beat Calleri W St K under 39.5 - win by 43 doh! Highlanders to beat Brumbies - not played yet Go brumbies go! Odds of 27/1 Nasty business. I need send some words of encouragement people. Where is the love? Ok, had my teary now, Thanks for listening guys. hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ads25 Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 Re: AFL Football - Round 6 (May 4th - 6th) Dont matter how bad your defence is, as long as you can outscore your opposition. You could concede 200 points and still win. Our two wins this year the opposition have put up massive scores against us. Had our chance to beat Brisbane last week in a high scorer but fell asleep in the last quarter, while last night looked good towards the end of the 3rd quarter when the margin was 4 points, but again fell asleep in the last quarter. Kicking 11.16 is unnacceptable, such poor accuracy. On a different note though, i was actually at the game, but for those who watched it on tv what were the commentators saying about the umpiring and what did you guys think? It was shocking for both teams, both sides were given soft free kicks all night and there were plenty of obvious ones that werent given. Gotta say they are killing the game slowly and in a way you cant really blame the umpires, this new 'push in the back' rule the AFL have introduced is impossible to call consistently and i dont know one AFL fan who isnt frustrated by ut. We never had these issues 10 years ago :$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beejayville Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Re: AFL Football - Round 6 (May 4th - 6th) Yeh the umpiring is killing our great game, have to agree Ads, only have to fart near the best players like Judd and co and they get a free kick now. Guess it helps the better ball players to a degree. Speaking of umpiring, what did you think of Brendan Fevola's efforts at umpiring...He is a talented player but drops the lip quicker than Richo, and that's saying something...He is a poor example for your talented list of kids to be honest...Umpiring was actually spot on with Fevola, don't know what he was crying about. Jeffers sms'd last night and he is thinking of throwing his Carlton membership in the bin and climbing abord the Pies...Quality thinking :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] Ahhh...one of the greatest myths in the world of sport ;) (One of my pet sporting arguments, but no need for me to ramble on here! :lol ) Sydney v. Kangaroos under 173.5 (2.75) 174-193 (2.95 for $ back) Gives about 1.81 for the under. Sydney haven't had a game score higher than 169 all season. Strong defense that hasn't allowed over 20 shots in a game @ 67 ppg. Some straight kicking gave the Kanga's a bit of an unrealisticly high score last week (Sydney too for that matter!), and 3 of the 'Roos 5 games have been 161 or less. They also seem to get bottled up easily on the smaller dome surface, going under 169 in 4 of their last 8, and over 185 just once...would you believe against the Blues! :D Just 2 of the last 6 meetings have gone over 193...Sydney kicked 18.4 in 2004 at home...and last year's game in Canberra was 14.14 to 16.9 (203), but again Sydney kicked well, and remarkably the I50's were just 43 to 45! I certainly don't expect either team to convert their chances that well again today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ads25 Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 Re: AFL Football - Round 6 (May 4th - 6th) Kangaroos vs Sydney The Kangaroos are coming off last weeks high with an upset win against Geelong at Skilled Stadium. They follow up now with a home match against Sydney at the Telstra Dome and would fancy themselves to get close to Sydney. Even though they are sitting 3rd on the table, the Swans havn't exactly set the world on fire yet at this early stage, but they are a quality side and their strong defence is what makes them so good. Craig Bolton ranks second in the competition for spoils and amazingly 76% have either lead to a Sydney clearance or a stoppage. Its hard to see Sydney losing this, despite the recent resurgence of the Kangaroos. If the Roos can get off to a good start (they have won 5 out of 5 first quarters) then they are a real chance because Sydney are poor starters (lost 4 out of 5 second quarters) which makes the HT/FT bet of Kang/Syd a good longshot, but I expect Sydney to lift as strong forwards Barry Hall, Michael O'Loughlin, Peter Everitt and the return of Amon Buchanen to the side, its very tough to see the Kangaroos holding them for the entire match. The Swans have conceded the second least amount of points in the league also which is worth noting. Players to look out for are Barry Hall who loves playing against the Kangaroos, in the last 4 games between the sides he has kicked 15 goals while Brett Kirk is averaging 26 possessions. For the Kangaroos, Shannon Grant has kicked 9 against the Swans in the past 4 while Adam Simpson has averaged 20 touches.

ads25 Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 Re: AFL Football - Round 6 (May 4th - 6th) Melbourne vs Port Adelaide The bottom placed Demons host the second place Power which on paper has the hallmarks of a lopsided match awaiting, but I believe this may just be a little closer than most expect. Melbourne were a top 6 side last year and their talent stocks are very good, but injuries have severely decimated the Demons and slowly but surely some of their better players are now coming back from injuries. David Neitz who is a goalkicking legend at the Dee's returns, Ben Holland returns and will be a very handy inclusion with his height, Nathan Jones also returns and his presence and toughness on the ball has been well missed. All of a sudden the Demons are looking a lot better and Port Adelaide will have to be weary here, while they have a great lineup themselves they must remember that they have never beaten Melbourne away from home in their history. Melbourne play the MCG very well and the fact the line for this match is +17.5 points for Melbourne, I think this is well worth a punt. Players to look out for in this game are Adem Yze and Cameron Bruce who have good records against Port, while Neitz has kicked 9 goals in his last 4 against the Power. Kane Cornes and Peter Burgoyne enjoy playing against the Melbourne as they both average high possession tallies in recent games with Melbourne. Josh Mahoney has kicked 9 goals for Port in his past 3 games against Melbourne. Pick Melbourne +17.5 at $1.91 - (4/10) - Centrebet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the Kangaroos beating Sydney, who the hell saw that coming :loon I did! Got 4 out of 5 tips so far on AFL website, only Carlton has failed so far, mind you, I am a fair way behind :dude Sydney haven't beaten anyone in the Top 7 yet, and lost Kennelly who has been a driving influence out of defence. Kangaroos beat Brisbane up North and beat the Cats last week...Someone said a couple a weeks ago that the Roos were improving, especially McIntosh...Roos have been competitive against all the teams in top 8 and had a good win tonight cos they attacked the ball with great ferocity...Probably hard for some to go against Sydney though, but the Roos deserve some credit. Hawks also have had a great recent record against the Bombers...Think that's 4 in a row now they have beaten Essendon. Hope people got on board the Pies :ok Pies had 31 scoring shots to 17 and and against a quality defence like Adelaides, they did very well...Not bad for a touted bottom 4 side by some in here :dude Pies had a lot in their favour for this game, and it was as good a win as the they have had for a while, especially considering they Didak was a late withdrawal, Presty missed half the game, and Clement went off in the last quarter...Crows still played well considering the players they had out...And the Pies will have Didak and Holland back for the long awaited duel with Carlton.
