After the shock I got looking at my Bank balance,nothing scares me.
Originally had Melbourne to win by 6 points,but penalized Sydney 12 points for missing out on training due to funeral.

At our local tote,we got a betting method called Parlay.And you can further fine it down into a Parlay 1,Parlay 2,Parlay 3.
Parlay 2 combines your selections into doubles and Parlay 1 does the lot including a unit on each individual selection.

OK gotcha, seems the states have different bet types, up here the parlay has 4 or you can have 3 if you want but you need 2 winners for a collect, but we have ALL UP tickets where you can take 2,3 or 4 selections but thay all have to win.

Had a feeling that Sydney would be really fired up to do well this week, but they were playing away, so I didn't know if it would be enough for victory.

Well multi ,parlay whatever you wnat to call it. Fact is I well and truly overated the Dee's and I hate Melbourne's weather. Hawthorn are hopeless and if it was even a bit dryer they would have won by plenty. Oh well, whinging is only for the Poms. Today is a fresh day and time to try and win some back
Adel 1-39, Saints 20+ and Eagles 40+ will hopefully dig me out of this little hole.

Yes.

A parlay is a series of bets where the winnings are carried over to the next bet, etc. All legs must win to collect (if there is a draw that bet is cut out). This is what a parlay is for the majority of the betting world.

Aussie books wouldn't know the correct terms if it bit them on the ass. We had the same discussion about the term 'spread'.

Here in australia, we call it ********,not ASS or do we have to copy the septic tanks in everything we do?.

cheers

I'm sorry but we started adopting american culture before I was born. ass/******** are both acceptable. Spelling differences are also less important than incorrect terms.

I dont know what started all this off, but it is nit picking ,another thing we picked up from those yanks, those inbreds have alot to answer for,dont they ?

You dont have to be dead to be stiff!! The crows kick 8 unanswered goals in the last quarter to blow me out of my treble. Just one of those weekends I guess. Curious what other people think of the race for the flag?
I think after the weekend that it's very,very open.
This might sound silly but I reckon we might see a team from the bottom half of the 8 win the flag.
Saints look great but can they perform in the finals away from the comfort of the dome.
Lions are really hard to assess. They're just going at the moment and i wonder if they are starting to show the wear and tear of being a slightly older side but you just know they find a gear in September.
Port in my opinion can't win it. I don't think they have the midfield to compete and I reckon they are still susceptible when teams play hard 1 on 1 footy, which happens every year in Sept.Melb look like they are flat at the moment and it's really not the time of year to have a slump, but if they can play finals at the G they will still be hard to beat.
Geelong are really hard at it and in my opinion the physically toughest in the whole comp. I guess their ? mark is do they have the forwards to kick winning scores come Sept.
Swans must be reasonable value as a good roughie, apart from there terrible fade out last week, they are one of the form teams of the comp. I think the worry with them is that they run so hard in games they never seem to have petrol tickets in the last quarter and they would have to travel a lot in Sept.
West Coast to seem to be peaking at the right time but how will they cope with the travel factor.
Essendon can't win it. I follow them and they are not good enough to win 4 big games in a row
Freo- No
Very hard to work out.

I reckon its opened right up now with probaly 5 or 6 chances, going to steady my bets until the finals though, before i bet up again,

1.& 2 LIONS/PORT
3.& 4 GEELONG/ST KILDA
5.& 6 W/COAST/SWANS

probably wrong,but what does anyone else think,

Fairly close to my ratings Goldmember, but just curious why you think Port should be rated so highly.

Yeah, i know they were the best team all through last year and choked in the finals, but, dunno, something is telling me that it could be different this year and with a couple of teams improving this year and some others on the wane and indifferent performances lately,it just might be their year,but i hope the lions can come back to their best because they are still the team to beat.

Just had a look at the map Mr J.I'm afraid you're wrong this time.We are definately in Australia."Would you like fries with that".

Did I say we weren't in Australia?

Relax there Mug Punta.
I had the Crows at +32.5,so just remember,for every loser there has to be a winner.
Had a similar drama with the Kangaroos.Had an +18.5 start and until the final quarter,I was standing in the queue.
Turned out I was in the wrong queue and slowly made my way to the far one.
