Two standouts for me in round 1, all other input welcome
Sydney -23.5 vs Essendon
Swans with a massive point to prove aftrer their woeful GF. Bombers players cleared of the doping but with no pre-season to speak of for half the list means they are way underdone.
Sydney have won the last 3 h2h by 20+, two of them by 40+ without the factors mentioned above.
Can see this getting very messy, -23.5 'should' be a gimme.
WC Eagles 1.52 @ W Bulldogs
Same game last year (at Subi) saw Eagles romp home by 65.
Doggies have lost Libba to injury and Griffen who were both easily in their top 5 players. Don't think Boyd will be enough.
Only the Eagles form at Docklands stops me taking the spread but I think they will have enough to win, even without their best defender.
Bet of the week is to multi the two above for a return of 2.87
Hope there are a few AFL punters out there. If only it was as easy as the NAB cup

Got that right playa, Sydney didn't show up until midway through the third and Eagles were very poor, still haven't learnt how to deliver the ball into the 50. No point in having a potent forward line if they never get the ball.
0-1 start
Today:
Port Adelaide $2.00
North melbourne $2.20
Both have had the measure of their opponents and will hope to make strong claims on top 4. Should be good games.
Best of luck all.
