AFL round 18

Question

CROWS ml, when was the last time the blues winning a consecutive game going on road, long time ago. Also going with carlton's AAMI stadium form I think adelaide is good value here.

SWANS (+15.5), have a look into the bulldog's and also swannie's form at manuka. Losing two in a row and the way they were beaten I think the bulldog's confidence will be at lowest point into this season. Swans have always matchup well against the dogs

also leaning towards the maggies 2nite(very small wager) good price, everyone knows collingwood show up to play in blockbusters. I hate going against hawthorn but at the price given it's worth a shot.

note: collingwood last lost 3 in a row in rd 15 2006

They have beaten the hawks by 65 and also cats by 86 this season so at ($3) i like their chances.

Swans by my reckoning have been average at best at Manuka and Doggies are Sydney&#x27;s boggie team.also leaning towards the maggies 2nite(very small wager) good price, everyone knows collingwood show up to play in blockbusters.

jdoobiz I am not so sure about your statement about the Swans. The Swans from what I remember have been average at Manuka and the Doggies are one of Sydney&#x27;s boggie teams.

ps. But I will be cheering them on

jdoobiz · Answer

ecoute, the bulldogs have only played at manuka twice

2007 lost to sydney by 43
2006 beat the kangaroos by 1

sydney has played at manuka since 2003, currently winning the last 4 games there (last 3 by 40+ points). There record there is 5-2

Also since 2003 the bulldogs have only beaten the swannies once which was last year by 18pts. 6-1 to the swans since 2003.

I don&#x27;t think this is right though. They played earlier this year and the Doggies belted us.

jdoobiz, I wouldn&#x27;t worry a great deal about past stats.  A lot can change in AFL and Sydney not in good for nor are they in full strength

jdoobiz · Answer

ecoute, actually it was this year when bulldogs won by 18. Last year they only met once at manuka and swans won by 43 to make it 5 in a row against the dogs. Should be 5-1 to the swans in last five years.

jdoobiz · Answer

I think it&#x27;s first time in 10yrs or so these two(swans/bulldogs) are facing eachother twice in a season.

jdoobiz · Answer

&#xD;&#xA;I agree with u on syd&#x27;s current form and strength, all i have stated is that I see the value in a team who has had an edge over the other team in recent years at a neutral ground which happens to be manuka. Bulldogs not only lost 2 games in a row but the way they lost these two games was a concern, expectation is high for this team and yes they&#x27;ll surely bounce back with the talent they have. If u see my pick i have taken the swans with the start as i see the value there not to mention the swannies are still are a top 4 side right now. So all it means is that IMO i cannot see the bulldogs beating the swans by 16&#x2B; at manuka this weekend.

jdoobiz · Answer

It&#x27;s just like under strength crows last week beating hot favorite swans by 24 @ scg.  Some teams seem to have an edge over certain teams in the comp, I took the crows with the start keeping this in mind and this is what im doing this week with this pick. After all it&#x27;s gambling and I like to go with the team that i believe will have the edge, bulldogs might win by 30 but as long as i know i&#x27;ve done the right pick IMO im happy with that.

jdoobiz · Answer

sydney &#x2B;15.5   missed it by the hook, well watching the game the bulldogs should have won by 40.
