Re: AFL Football - Round 10 (June 1st - 3rd)

Collingwood on a 6 x 6 travelling back from Brisbane - could take the edge off. Freo with the full seven day rest.

Clutching at straws there Ash :D Pies only had a 4 day break when they had 35 scoring shots and beat Essendon on Anzac Day. They beat Adelaide at AAMI and travelled back next week to have 34 scoring shots in the win against Carlton. 6 * 6 is the least of the Pies problems, on the contrary, they haven't won in Brisbane in years, so they should gain more confidence from the win, and that was with Simon Black having around 40 plus possessions and a fit Johnathon Brown playing. Not many Victorian teams win one game away from home, the Pies have won two, some credit please :dude Think it was Taza questioning Pies form up above a bit. Who was the last team to beat Adelaide in Adelaide and Brisbane in Brisbane in the same season? If the Pies beaten opponents are questionable, then so are Geelongs. Pies are no champions but we came off a hard slog at the Dome 2 weeks ago against the Bulldogs then went to the Gabba and scored 120 points against Brisbane for a big win. The Bulldogs who were on a high after their big second half to beat Collingwood, they go to NSW and get belted by the Swans. Who showed more heart there? As Ads points out, Friday night looks like being wet and cold. Have a look back through Freo's form when it has been wet and cold :lol. The Pies have played a couple of games in the wet this season and fared quite well in the conditions, so wet and cold won't worry them. Fremantle is overated and lazy either home or away. The Pies are a hard working team whenever they run out onto the ground. Don't be surprised if Collingwood belt these cream puffs from the west.

[Ashtee]

Re: AFL Football - Round 10 (June 1st - 3rd) Not clutching at straws at all, bjv. This is a betting forum, so I'll post any info that could be relevant to assessing the price on this game. :D Pies did in fact beat Essendon on a 4-day break. Only concern with the stat is Don's were on 4-day break also. Coll travelled back from Adelaide to beat Carlton which was on a 10 x 7 - a whole lot different to a 6 x 6. Clubs report that 6 x 6 situations can be danger periods for injuries, simply because players are that bit more jaded.

Fremantle is overated and lazy either home or away. The Pies are a hard working team whenever they run out onto the ground. Don't be surprised if Collingwood belt these cream puffs from the west.

This is the very reason why I don't see quite enough price to try Freo tommorow. Did you miss what I said about the pies after last week's win? ;) Freo for me only if I see 2.75 is what I've decided. 2.70 is best I see, so no bet.

Re: AFL Football - Round 10 (June 1st - 3rd) Is the situation so one sided in Eagles - Kangaroos game that Pinnacle doesn't have its lines up? Or there's something else? What do 6x6 and 10 x 7 mean?

Possibly did miss it Ash I'm not sure, miss a lot of things, most notably my hair :loon Good points you make on the days breaks etc, think I am just defending my beloved Black and White more than anything :dude Freo have always given the Pies trouble last few seasons, and can't see it being any different tonight. Might be a points fest with Tarrant one end and Rocca the other. Maybe a bet on more points than goals is in order. If Freo is around 2-75 then they are great value on their recent record against the Pies.

Hello Mr Anderson (Agent Smith voice) :cheers How about you bring something to the table champ? Not much point talking about how much money you make after the event, any nuff nuff can do that. Put something in here before the games this week so we can take advantage of your money making ways :ok It is great to see someone who is usually making money and willing to share the information in a betting forum. First game is Collingwood vs Fremantle tonight and can't wait to see what your thoughts are on that game. Time to step up or shut up :dude

I blame Ads Vagabund...A good bloke in Jeffers lobs in Oz and listens to Ads crap about how good Carlton are...Next minute Jeffers has a Membership for the Blues and goes to every game now and expects to win...He has since learnt that Carlton rarely win and he has wasted his Membership. Plus they are salary cap cheats and it brought them a Grand Final...Collingwood may have lost 25 Grand Finals, but we can sleep at night knowing that every Grand Final we won was without cheating the Salary Cap. I should probably add, the last time we won a grand Final I don't think they had a Salary Cap :loon One more thing, Carlton supporters have always been nuff nuffs and me being a Collingwood supporter I have to despise them (altho they are good to watch at the moment cos they at least have a crack), so whenever I get the chance I have to sink the boots in. I actually asked a Carlton supporter yesterday for a blueprint of his brain, cos I wanted to build a fcukwit :rollin

Yep...betting forum, Bjv...plenty of Collingwood boards about for that rhetoric ;) ;) ;) Do you read our other posts...like, properly...or just skim? I said, Pies beating Adelaide is the exception...but as I also said, Essendon did the same thing... ...read into that what you will. Brisbane? Plenty of teams will win up there from now on... ...same year? Fairly irrelevant I'd think! :D And, yeah...I'm on the Saints, so I do think Geelong are a bit over-rated aswell! Dogs always get beat in Sydney...just so happens the Swans are a class or 4 above Brisbane too, so another pointless 'argument'. Collingwood beaten by Port in the wet I believe...at MCG... Given the similarities in clearances and contested ball, I'd think wet weather would be most advantages to the team with the least pace... ...advantage, Freo! :\

Re: AFL Football - Round 10 (June 1st - 3rd) Interested in the over in tonights game set @ 183.5. Both clubs can kick goals and they showed that last round.

Sometimes I just skim, i actually just skimmed though this :loon Collingwood always get beat by Brisbane in Brisbane too, as Dogs do in Sydney, yet Pies won in Brisbane this year but Dogs could not beat Sydney...Strength of team irrelevant to me as neither team could win in Brisbane or Sydney, see my point :cheers Didn't say we won in the wet, said we fared ok in it :lol Agree with you on the Saints too, they have consistently troubled Geelong in recent years, and this could be one of those games where Geelong are under the odds...On the other hand, the Cats could kick 30 goals again, never know with them. Stop backing up your opinions with fact as it makes it hard to be rhetoric :rollin Missed the rest cos I probably skimmed again :dude

Kangaroos are a bet IMO, vagabund. I'm on at 4.14, but would certainly take the current 3.93 Pinnacle. Noticed they were OTB at Pinnacle and not sure why - could simply be due to strong backing for a longshot. The leagues best player successfully appealed a suspension during week but that was settled Tuesday. I've heard whisper that WCE are in a little more injury trouble than it may seem - whether that means there will be changes I'm not sure but at this point in time the roo's are overs IMO. Kangaroos game style will trouble anyone. A 3.00 chance IMO. 10 x 7; seven days rest and ten days rest prior to that. Ash.

Apparently there is a flu going around the team. 7 players or so had to leave training early. But past matches have shown that when these rumours are around, the team often does well. Really up to your own opinion how it will affect the team, but really you'd need more information, what players and how bad its affected them.

Re: AFL Football - Round 10 (June 1st - 3rd) It’s already round 10, and I can’t remember this early in a year where so many matches in one round have little or no relevance to September. It’s not an exciting round by any means. What positive spin could you put on the Richmond-Brisbane encounter? One team hasn’t won a game and the other hasn’t won a quarter in their last 12. At least one team will be happy at the end of the night although both of their seasons are shot.

The Dockers score 3 goals more on average on the road than they do at home and play well against the Pies. Collingwood have been poor starters at the MCG averaging 15 points in the 1^st quarter in the last 4 games there and 39 in 1^st halves. However, they still nearly average 100 points per game at the MCG. Should be an interesting game but the Pies will salute.

The Crows did what they needed to last week against the Blues but face a stiffer test this week. Adelaide don’t lose to often in Melbourne and average 100 per game. The Demons have their best players back, but have a number of their second tier out. They have scored 100 once this season and only average 75 in the last 5 games. The Crows should replicate last week’s performance and beat the Demons.

There is huge contrast in styles at Subiaco between West Coast and the Kangaroos. The Eagles were woeful last week taking 20 or 30 disposals to take it from one end to the other and still couldn’t find a target in attack. Their cause hasn’t been helped with the loss of Hansen. The Kangaroos are on a hot streak and Subiaco won’t worry them. The beauty of the Kangaroos is their penetration into the forward line and finding goalkickers that you don’t expect to score heavily. Should be a close game but the home team should prevail.

Port Adelaide’s reputation is on the line against the Hawks on Sunday. Their effort against Geelong was deplorable and will need to improve drastically just to challenge the Hawks. Over the last 5 years, the games between these two teams has resembled circle work. One team would get the ball in defence, bring it around the wing unchallenged, and then find a tall forward. If that was unsuccessful, the other team would get the ball do the same around the other wing then look for a forward option. The team with the best forwards would win. The Hawks will be at them all day, but Port have to win to get their credibility back.

Re: AFL Football - Round 10 (June 1st - 3rd) No opinion at all about the total tonight guys.... Collingwood strong defensively...but I really think Tarrant and Pavlich give them match-up problems without Clement. Weather could be a factor too...showers predicted. Collingwood always get beat by Brisbane in Brisbane too, as Dogs do in Sydney, yet Pies won in Brisbane this year but Dogs could not beat Sydney...Strength of team irrelevant to me as neither team could win in Brisbane or Sydney, see my point? Nope! :lol Just went back 3+ years to look at the Hawks' travelling efforts (sans Launceston)... 14 true road games going back to the start of the '04 season...ONE win...beat Freo in 2005. Can't be sure of the odds for most of those games, but 2 down already this season...not sure they are the best of things this week. :ok (Which, of course, no-one is saying!)
