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.

Mr Lazz, how is your tigers going after the weekend? First you lose to the dockers and now this! 9th place again if your lucky hahaha

BOOOM!

TREMDOG DROPPING BOMBS!

And I just want to say I severely underrated Sydney they look very good...

Sydney are good. But to be fair, I watched the 2nd half and the Eagles were very stiff with the umpires

When a team touches the ball almost 100 more times than the other you would think they got more free kicks but the Eagles ended up + 7. They never pay a deliberate out of bounds in the West and there were a couple of occasions when the game was in the balance in the first half the refs wouldn't pay it. The eagles were playing the man in the second half not the ball, it was pretty obvious without some of there more classy players the young guys were overwhelmed.

One thing I would agree with is the Swans seemed to have a bit more time in tackles at some point, players like O'Keefe and Kennedy who are big mids I might add, but the holding/dropping the ball rule has become so unpredictable.

Refs needs to focus on throws too.

It's funny but, 2 months ago I wrote an article on the roar.com.au about Sydney's forward woes saying we needed Reid to step-up while Goodes went down. Then bam Lewis Jetta has become damn reliable after his first year woes in front of goal. LRT and Reid do the team things well but in September I think they could be a little overwhelmed themselves when there's less time for the mids to crete and run.

Lewis Jetta is a gun. He can kick the ball an absolute country mile too!

Yeah I have much respect for Jetta now after laughing at his selection in channel 7's all Australian team at the midway point of the season...
