Well, St Kilda have only really become a strong team in the last couple of years and in that time, I don't think they've played many games at the MCG.

Sportz, i realise they are better but i didn't know if they had problems there or not. In 2002-2003 they played there 5 times for 1 win against hawthorn.
There last night game there was in R22 2001, also against hawthorn, winning by 2 points, what i'm saying is that maybe at the m.c.g, at night they mightn't win by the cricket score i originally thought they would have won by, maybe only 30-40pts.

Just looking at the last 5 games at the m.c.g
w/bulldogs [average]92 opposition 112
st kilda [average]90 opposition 101

Well, I must say that they are almost certainly a better team at the Telstra Dome than they are at the MCG. They're practically unbeatable under the roof.

I know its a long way off, but i always like to see the best two play in the grand final, hopefully brisbane and st kilda.

I think that although St Kilda are playing well they might and I'm saying just might
choke in the finals just like port.So having said that Brisbane v Essendon at the g in september with a similar result to 2001.Also regarding a teams history at a particular ground,I think st Kilda have come of age so the MCG has probably lost the old hoodoo.

Wish you would stop doing that Sportznut.
Ending your tips with doubt.

You're definately not pulling marbles out of a barrel there.
I'm quite sure you've put a lot of effort into your selections and I think you should show more confidence in your ability.
From what I see and what you explained,you probably have 8 winners there.
Thing is I have my own methods of selection,but I respect your results whether they come in or not.
I didn't knock you for bragging last time,but for tipping after the race.
If your tips don't correspond with mine,we can discuss and review.
I'd much rather see 8 losers tipped before the race,than 8 winners tipped afterwards.

Cheers.

7 out of 20.
By my reckoning that comes out to 35%
Don't know how far back you went in your travels there,Goldmember,But if you care to find out their winning percentage (St.Kilda's) overall for the same period,excluding this year,35% is probably a better than average figure.

Sportznut.
On your advice,my advice would be to take the double,ESSENDON and RICHMOND.

But on my advice,my advice would be to steer clear of the AFL this weekend.Maybe a trip on the banks of the Murray.
Tell you what.Take me with you and I'll pay for the petrol.

Cheers Mo.

Hey Sportznut.
If I could be bothered,I could have my selections ready by midnight after the last game.
I've toyed with the idea of player ratings to allow for the ins and outs,(not the clockwork orange kind),but don't know if its worth the extra effort.

Tell me,if you will,what criteria did you use to modify your selections and do you monitor whether it improves your profit margin.
