Weekend AFL

[Guest TazaD]

Bulldogs/Essendon over 225.5 (2.85)!! Massive price for this. 5 of the last 6 meetings (all of which happen to be at the dome) total 225 or more. Dogs have allowed 100+ in 12 of last 13 games at the dome!! (Av. 131.5!!), and 4 of their last 5 games at the dome have gone over this number...at an av. of 239! Ess. have topped 100 in 8 of their last 12 games at the dome. After a slow start to the year they have av. 118.5 over their last 4 games, only one of whcih has been in the dome. (137-131 v. West Coast!). The Doggies last gamne at the dome was also v. West Coast and the score in that game was 137-144! Should be a shootout. I just hope they both kick reasonably straight! Melbourne/Port/Brisbane/Sydney multi @ 2.98 (2 units) Geelong WIN @ 1.70. All should be too strong for inferior opposition.

Re: Weekend AFL Carlton +20.5 (1.80) Been thinking about this one for a while now, and news tonight that Tarrant didn't make it through training and is extremely unlikely to play has tipped me over the edge. Stats are very close: Carlton 291 inside 50's to 290! 193 clearances to 192. Collingwood's defense has been very poor...allowing 177 shots at goal. 3rd worst behind only Dogs and Hawthorn. No way Carlton is as bad as last week. Pies beat Carlton by 73 points in rd. 17 last year, but both Tarrant and Burns kicked 3 that day, and Carlton were TERRIBLE!! In rd. 2 last year, Collingwood won by only 16 points as 1.14 favs. Collingwood has won only one game by more than this no. in their last 11 games!! (More if you count pre-season games.) Like Carlton to at least keep this one close....Possibly get the win. ;)
