AFL Round 1

Well done mate, actually thought of you when I was enjoying the game and though to myself....this is the type of game Lets Elope would win on. Great stuff.

Do you ever get tired of being so smart Joel.

I really don't care what any of you lot think as you clearly have a problem with someone being honest about what they do or don't do.

Irregardless I will be licking my wounds if the Eagles get done as all things being equal I will be having a decent bet on them.

I'm just about at the point where I will be refusing to post any tips in future as have had a gutful of some of the ungrateful idiots on here.

Sorry mate, I was just fooling around.

Good luck with your Eagles bet, I reckon they might get rolled this week.

Please continue to post your tips.

im thinking dogs will provide the upset as well..eagles to drop down from last years efforts..imo

Don't think so Ted am tipping Beau Waters to have monster year he looked in great touch and is finally fit and healthy with a full pre season under his belt, people forget how important he is for the Eagles when he's right, kerr looks in sensational nick for this early in the season, Naitanui could do anything, Darling to come on again, Shuey will show he's a total start, Masten improving, Priddis going well, Rosa fit and healthy. Hill a good addition, while Kennedy's fitness the obvious posssible long term query. Schofield and Mackenzie both have come on further down back, Hurns also to have another big season with early indication his long kicking will be utilised to clear zones, Scott Selwood going great guns Gaff should improve further a lot to like about them still in my opinion. Koby Stevens is another who looks to be ready to improve big time there's plenty of upside for them.

Get on them early you won't get this sort of price about them for very long against a bottom eight side in future even being away from home.

The midfield will kick more goals to compensate for the loss of Nicoski and Le Cras, hopefully hams can step up he looked fit and sharp in the preseason but the real wild card could be Brad **** if the eagles fitness staff can get him right for the latter part of the season as there's no doubting his talent if they can get him fit and healthy again.

idiot betfair censors the blokes surname is Diick

Apolgies Joel I thought you were having a shot at me, it's getting pretty annoying as I only tip on here to try to help people and end up getting slammed for doing so and quite frankly it's wearing very, very thin and I have a lot better things to do with my time than to put up with that sort of craap from brain dead imbeciles.

Not unreasonable to think Melbourne will struggle to win a game this year. Absolutely deplorable

They might get GWS on an off day and win that

peeps howled me down when i said adel would make top 8 before the nab..figjam..


go crows

Spot on Ted ............ they look pretty much certainties after handling the Suns easily

but they play them times 2 as well as gws,melb,briz,rich.. 

Freo V Geelong should be a good game tonight, will be a good indicator to see where both teams are at.


should be high scoring game , weather in Perth= no rain in sight and both teams game style is to attack. Im on over 180.5 points for this one at evens

ross lyon coached teams don't score highly..imo

They do Ted, it does look a dream draw

But have a look at their draw last year - was every bit as good and were not even close to finals. I still think their midfield is weak when they get exposed to real pressure

there are gonna be lotsa floggings this year

well p!ss off then lets . then we will be all happy

Anyone know what price the dees ended up starting at on here today in the match odds?

big start freo 30 zip

you have got to love freo's ability to get ahead of themselves started to think they're smart and started playing the man and now have copped their right whack 6 goals apiece can't believe I missed the price on the cats too busy concentrating on the races as long as freo  get beaten it will be worth it. They have achieved nothing and think they're going to intimidate geelong, clowns, all they did was stir them into action.

Geelong coming back strongly......high intensity game, Dockers will be therabouts come September this year

Ballantyne is good at sirring opposition teams ...good at sucking teams in giving free kicks

Barlow !! You superstar

everybody on Betfair say the freo chant

"FRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

FRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

FFFFFRRRRREEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

game of the year - Dockers to hold on???

Cats will be too strong and better still Ifinally managed to lay them at 1.85 freo a fe w minutes back. Go you cats!!!

cats trying to kick themselves out of this game convert your oportunities boys you should be at least a couple of goals in front instead of trailing by 1pt.

Dockers to hold on with the support of the crowd imo

50 50 game


Geelong running the game out better, the longer the game goes, the better they are getting

Freo with home crowd support, thats worth 1 goal

Dont rule out the draw

Time in Forward Half in 4th QTR

71% Geelong V 29% Fremantle

thriller

same as the other game - 4 points in it

going to be a few bruises after this game

PAV!!! GET INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

what a goal wahoo

kick after the siren in the other game to north

missed

41 seconds left

wheres LETS??

42

wahoo Freo

how many photo finishes can you get btn in one bloody day, Geelong kicked themselves out of this game. well done freo, great game.

Do I have to keep banging on about Freo or are people on board now?

Top 4 contender without any question

good win AD but it's only round 1

Best game this year.

anything above $3 for Top 4 a good price provided they stay injury free. Injuries really killed them last season, but they pretty much had an injury free season in 2010

Scarlett 6 weeks?

4 or 5 for Scarlett was my original thought

Similar to Hall....def 4+ imo

No where near as much force as Hall

But who knows what they will come up with, it's all a raffle when you go up these days

Yeah, agreed AD.

they have to play half their games away

i went to GOLD COAST game what a star G ablett is you would
give him 6 votes if you could today

hold your ticket, Lets. There might be a protest

Early days when they produce that sort of performance in Melbourna against a good team but they were good, my man ballantyne was teriffic, love watching him play but Geelong definitely kicked themselves out of the game.

those 2 goals he kicked were amazing Nick - made it look so easy

good nite of footy - nite all

If Barry Hall got 7 weeks Scarlett will get 4-5. Probably doesn't deserve to, was nothing more than a love tap. Ballantyne milked it like it was Kim Kardashians tit!

"deplorable"--your over rating them AD

Watch for Ballantyne to be king hit by an opposition supporter jumping the fence if he keeps up the way he 'played' last night. *end of biased rant*

  therhino

agree re ballyntine..bigger tiprat than the original tiprat milne..

Anyone else think Port are a chance? WCoast should destroy doggies.

i like the dogs - port has to be some chance but Saints should be too strong in the end

Cracking game so far

Any1 know where to watch online? Used to find online last year all the time. To lazy to go to the pub

3.50 on Dogs big in my opinion, only a 11 pt margin ...could trade out

high scoring game at Ettihad

speak of the devil, Dogs hit 2 goals now...and are in front

That may be the first time I have ever seen Beau Waters not middle the footy, cost them a goal

Eagles need to slow tempo down, Dogs with all the momentum in the 2nd quarter at the moment

5 goals for Josh Kennedy, another bag of 10+ coming up against the same team last year?

Gaff ran 50 metres from that clearance unchecked and unchased to set up that goal.

Worrying signs for the Dogs that, good teams don't let that goal happen

Kennedy has to be a good chance for Coleman? Will be interested in the odds after this game

Kennedy is a high quality tall forward, but there is a guy from Hawthorn who might have something to say about that

Hey may be a delicious player, but I don't think Rioli can win the Coleman AD

dogs giving us a run for our money joel

Not now

teddles kiss of death




i could win the pinjarra cup tho

shhhhhhhhhhhh

Josh Hill done a good job as a small forward today, dont think the loss of LeCras or Nicoski will be impact too much. Nicoski due back 2nd half of the season

Christian Howard with an ankle twister there for the Dogs, didnt look too good there

Great to see the eagles go on and win by a big margin for a change, once they're on top.

Josh Hill is going to be a very handy pick up, Shuey worked into the game the longer it went on, Gaff knocked up getting the ball, Rosa a huge last quarter, lynch looked very rusty early but gradually found some semblance of form in the second half, kennedy outstanding as was priddis, scott selwood very good, beau waters & schofield terrific and embley did a nice job when he came as the sub in the final quarter and gave himself a good hitout so he'll be ready to start now next week so plenty of positives to come out of that game.
Well done boys.
The nice halftime full time bet at the odds was never really in doubt.

p!ss off lets u c..khead

Ratcrap

good write up Lets - interesting season coming up for West Coast

doggies awful in the end after being brave early

Don't say you weren't told.

the talls wont dominate so much in the wet..imo

not in the class of hawthorn,pies,or geelong at there peak

go port

Come on you Power

what wet ted you know it doesn't rain in Perth anymore and the wet weather footy didnt worry them last year. The will improive a heap on that and agree they're not in the same class as the very top, yet, but they have a whole season to further close the gap.

Looks like the two newest teams will finish bottom, then Melbourne and the Dogs, Eagles should finish just above them.

You're in fantasy land Joel

You may be right, perhaps the Dogs will finish above them.

Good to see the new melbourne coach tell it like it was they were atrocious and its about time someone stopped making excuses for them, its the only they're going to improve.

2.42 big price on Power going into final quarter............up 5 with a quarter go, considering they were 2.98 pre game


good luck all

Non vic teams dominating the Vic teams this round..................I think the non vic teams will do well this year, id say a minimum of 5 could make the top 8 this season: Adelaide, West Coast, Fremantle, Sydney and 1 of Brisbane or Port

port !good close game..
got something from the wreckage for the weekend

it's a lottery - well done Port

Well done teddles...great first round

lets well done

nothing particular clever Nick they were the standout good thing of the round apart from sydney obviously and they were unbackable.
