:P Who do you support again?

And yeah, I reckon we'll finish 3rd or 4th now.

Backed him on Betfair and he's into about 40-1 so hopefully with a few more good games i'll lay him off at 20's or so. I did the same with Dangerfield for a nice profit already when i back him at 95-1 and laid off at 17-1.

Just seems like one of those blokes that always gets votes so hoping it's the same this year.

Yeah, I'm surprised he was at 100-1 at the start of the season - before the season I would have rated him West Coast's best brownlow hope...

I'm very inexperienced when it comes to sports betting - could you explain more about laying a bet off?

Betfair is a betting exchange as opposed to a bookmaker so you can act as both the bookie or the punter. In the case of Dangerfield someone was offer the odds on 95-1 on him wining the brownlow. I put $10 on it so if he wins i have a $950 return.


Once he started kcik ass this year his odds came in. I offered up the odds of 17.50 to whoever wanted it as was prepared to take $50 at these odds whihc iff he wins costs me $875.

Thus if dangerfield wins i end up with $75 (my 950 winnings - the 875 i layed off)

If he losses the Browlow i get $40 ($50 i took in when taking the other persons bet - the $10 i out-laid)


Hope that makes some sort of sense

Ah, wow. That's cool. So you're guaranteed to profit if you can get on an outsider and their odds come in, and then find someone to take those odds. I like it.

How do you feel about the game on the weekend? Would it have been better to have just been behind all day and lost by the same margin, than to have been ahead by 5 goals and give the game up? I wonder about the psychological effect of that on Richmond given their mental fragility in the past. Do you reckon you'll make the 8?

So, any predictions for the top 4 and top 8 now? Looks a bloody tight season.

Collingwood, Sydney, Adelaide, West Coast, Essendon and Hawthorn in a tough fight for the top 4. I have a feeling Essendon will drop off, and also don't think Sydney will make it. I'd predict Adelaide to drop off, but reckon their draw will get them in the 4. So a top 4 of Collingwood, West Coast, Adelaide and Hawthorn.

Geelong look like they'll make the 8 now, but wont challenge for the top 4 I don't think.

And then there is the last spot in the top 8. North have it at the moment, then there is a cast of thousands one game behind - St Kilda, Carlton, Richmond, Brisbane and Fremantle. Hard to see Brisbane and Freo making it, but really hard to pick between the other 4. I'm going to back Carlton to make it, with Murphy coming back soonish.
