AFL Round 1

Question

Carlton have been struggling to kick goals... but the bookies have them at -16.5. It's RICHMOND!
Carl -16.5

Geelong v Bombers line is about right - no play

Hawks will kill the Dees
Hawks -31.5

Saints travel to Sydney and should win... but Sydney are unpredicatable. - no play... maybe will when Bradshaw is definitely out

Brissy v WCE - WCE play well in Brissy and have won as huge underdogs. The Bears should win but the x-factor is keeping me away from this one.

Port v Roos... close game that Port should win because they are at home. Line is about right... no play at the moment but the play would be Port at the line.

Dogs and Pies... again, close game and just gonna watch and enjoy.

Freo v Adelaide... depends on named teams... probably no play.

Adding Carl&#x2B;Rich under 193.5 - Forward lines will struggle... even with those backlines.

ecoute · Answer

Might follow you on the under

Miracle1976 · Answer

Like the Under as well but not Carl. I know Rich are bad but I'd rather watch a side keep it close like I believe Rich will tonight due one playing being above everyone else tonight with his football class

Don't like your Hawks pick either so we'll both end up splitting the round or one of us having a very good one.

Didn&#x27;t even know there was a game on today.

Bolar · Answer

We will beat west coast. You have nothing to worry about if you lay that juice.

ChkChkBoom · Answer

Goodstuff on the Unders call, i had it to and thought i was gooone at halftime!!!

Hendy · Answer

2-0 - How I missed AFLRichmond will boost percentages during the season. Pity lines won&#x27;t be as close as this one.The Blues over performed. They worked hard and outclassed the Tigers. Watch them come back to reality over the next couple of weeks.I like Geelong tomorrow but I think 30 points is about right. They will win but some games in Melbourne, they let opponents keep it close. The Bombers forward line isn&#x27;t going to kick huge scores. Goals will have to come from the mids... which means the score is less predictable. Geelong ML is safe but that line is close. I expect Geelong to win 110-75.Saturday looks like the big day.

melbourneboy · Answer

i think this will be high scoring match, if the line is set around 200, im going over. bombers can score in a bunch while geelong well r geelong-midfielders will run wild. i seriously doubt there will be any tagging tonite.

Hendy · Answer

The Bombers like to run it through the midfield but their forwards aren't great targets. I expect Geelong to control the tempo. There will be moments where there is lots of open running but mostly, Geelong will slow the tempo and not play the style that the Bombers want.

I would be expecting a 220+ game at the Dome but at the MCG when players are still rusty... I think I'm probably only slightly lower than what it should be. I don't see it going over 200 but close. I think the total is right for this one.

I just checked and the total is out at 193.5... good luck MelB.

binomial · Answer

Betstar put up 189.5??seems too low to me, played it for 1.5u.also Geelong -26.5 $2  1u

Hendy · Answer

I&#x27;m not going to play the total tonight... hope it&#x27;s a shootout for you guys.I&#x27;m going to play a nice safe multi Hawks -15.5, Geelong -14.4, Brissy -14.5 = 3.54

ecoute · Answer

Nice multi that one

Hendy · Answer

That Geelong 4Q was typically great. Bombers showed some spirit and that they are in great condition for 3Q but not the last.

I was right with the line being accurate but not the total...

over backers.

Why oh why did I get Gumbleton in my DT and SC? (I know because the ones I wanted got injured)

ecoute · Answer

Hendy I am wondering the same thing about Gumby.Good show by the bombers but the Cats............... freaks !!!!

Bolar · Answer

You would have been better off choosing Hitchcock or Duncan.Gumbelton will never make it as an AFL player.

Bolar · Answer

My mate told me to get Gumbleton. I told him to piss off. haha

Hendy · Answer

I got Hitchcock and Gumbleton for my bench. I didn't get Duncan because I think he'll do a Hogan and only play a couple of games for the Cats. When Varcoe comes back, he's gone. I think he was included to confuse the match ups... Pods will come in for some teams where they lack talls. Seeing GAblett playing on Dustin Fletcher was the matchup the Cats wanted.

When Hurley comes back, the Bombers will be competitive against most teams. They have to keep playing Gumbleton this year... make or break... probably break... the Kepler Bradley theory.

Playing

Hawks -31.5 (why has the line gone to -30.5?)

Hawks 1H -15.5

I can not see how are Melbourne going to score. Naming Jack Spencer at CHF shows how injury has hurt the Dees. Logically, he'll play in the ruck and Jamar will go forward.

Roughie won't play ruck and the Hawks never really have much from their rucks anyway.

binomial · Answer

Hawks have alot of players out also and half a dozen youngsters. apart from the first game the were poor in the preseason.i am taking Hawthorn 1-39.

binomial · Answer

plus could be wet and windy.Melbourne for Saturday Cloudy. The chance of showers. Winds southeast to southwesterly averaging 10 to 20 km/h becoming light later in the evening.

Hendy · Answer

The weather would make little difference. The young bodies of the Dees wouldn&#x27;t hold their ground... I&#x27;m getting on the Hawks 2H

Bolar · Answer

Hawks have this by 100 points. I&#x27;ll be close to my 12 goal prediction i made earlier in the week.Demons have the wooden spoon this year. No doubt about it.Also on Duncan, Varcoe is out for about 5&#x2B; weeks so Duncan will probably stay in for a few weeks. I&#x27;ll be trading Duncan off for Rockliff when Duncan&#x27;s price goes up.

P-C · Answer

Looking at Hawks 2H too...smells like blowout

Hendy · Answer

AddingHawks 2H -18.5
