AFL. NAB Wk. 1.

Footy's (kinda) back... ...fairly predictable blow-out win to the Eagles last night, but I think there's a bit of value in a couple of games this weekend. Richmond +25.5 Just too many points I reckon for the Hawks, who haven't beaten anyone by more than this in the first round since 2001! 9 of their top 25 missing (although, by my count 9 of top 10 playing)... ...I guess you could also argue that Richmond don't have 10 AFL standard players! :lol ... ...but a reasonable even Tigers team missing really only Cousins, Foley, Jackson and Simmons...new coach will be keen to impress. Like I said, Hawks scraped by an equally bad Melbourne last year by 3 points (3 less shots) [1.55 favs]...and Sydney by 2 points in 2008 at this ground as 1.10 favs! Hawks win in a reasonable close game. Doggies -5.5 Better team selected, experience at the venue (Canberra) and a great recent record over the Lions. No Johnson, Eagleton (best 22 anyway these days?), Aker, Hargrave, Minson...Hall not originally names, but some talk of him playing now... ...Brisbane without Brown, Black, Power, Drummond, Selwood, Clark, McGrath...looks a lot worse. Also Brisbane will have only 5 days rest regardless of the result, so Voss will no doubt be taking no risks. Dogs have won 7 of the last 8 meeings, inc. the last game (2nd semi last year) by 51 points. Better team should be able to cover the goal start.

Re: AFL. NAB Wk. 1. Ah, your a brave man Taz betting on the Crab Cup but agree with both of your selections. Weather down in Launie is meant to be raining most of the game so like your +25.5 on the Tigers. Reckon we will be too strong in the end for them. * Josh Gibson a late withdrawal with a hammy. Lions also missing Bradshaw and McDonald (who both left the club). Ah, its great to have it back! :cow
