AFL ROUND 19

everything the Dockers touching to gold

FRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Chant goes up from the crowd

Pav surely has to be a smokey for the Brownlow?

AFL leading goalkicker now

Petrie 52
Pavlich 52
Franklin 51
Hawkins 47
J Riewoldt 47

p1ss weak effort there by Zac Dawson

Matthew Pavlich TAKE A BOW! 6 of the best

Pavlich for the Coleman!

West Coast living up to the tag of down hill skiers here, we have too many examples for it not to be fact now

I hate to say I told you so but I told you so, some players are so integral in the little things they consistently do for their side  that you dont realise how valuable they are until they'reinjured or gone from the side permanently and glass and rosa are experienced senior players who lead by example and who do countless things that don't register on the stats sheet and you can't tell me that cox is fully fit, shuey walked into the eagles training this week slightly late with what appeared to be medical scans undr his arm, so there were obviously doubts about a number of players.
Cats will flog us next week if they turn up again like this.

agree with u LE, Geelong going to smash us if we have been playing like we have past few weeks

I have Match Odds for Game next week, WCE 2.50 v 1.62 Geelong

Dockers are restricting WCE to play slow tempo

1.62 geelong is huge WCE

How good is Hayden Ballantyne today?
Banging into packs, kicking goals on the run......magic Hayden

Michael Walters has given Freo that X-factor in the forward line since his inclusion

7 heaven for Pav!

Ive watched all of Freo's game in 2012 , that was their best quarter of footy this season, great quarter.

3/4 TIME

Fremantle 99-41 WCE

ODDS:

Fremantle N/A V 100 WCE

Fremantle totally dominated that quarter in midfield, defence and forward line. Pavlich has to be a smoky for this year's Brownlow, his last 5 weeks , he could poll at least 12 votes for those games.

Think West Coast will be lucky to make the 8 from here. Playing rubbish football.

8 FOR PAV

Surely Pavlich is a genuine Brownlow hope isn't he? Would have to have about 5 3 vote games in the tank?

Saints are a massive chance against the pies tonight and have tipped the saints as well

Agree Dizzy, good luck

Saints on so far.  Holding marks, game on.....

Pressure on Pies and they can crumble....  Very early, but they are switched on, so good signs.  See what they are both made of at least by the looks...

Oh dear.  These ****s are pulling out the slicks handballs...  Saints are here to play and Pies all over them at the moment...  Pressure a plenty, but going the wrong way.  Dirty day if they can't turn this around.

Seriously.  A good tackle is a good tackle, but when somebody is mid air, and gets an arm pinned and can't do anything, you can't pay holding the ball.  No prior, no chance, ball it up dickhead.

Surpised the saints changed wilkes for Polo, wilkes very useful as their extra medium sized marking target up forward.

Yeah, he certainly impressed me in his first game.  We need a sniper now, **** the next 8 weeks, send somebody out to take out Dayne.  Yeah, both those ****s....  Knock them clean out, won't affect this game, no send off rule.  Lets see it.

To quote those NRL ****s, BRING BACK THE BIFF.......

I tipped saints because I thought they had finally got their balance right up forward with him in the side and that they would bring the same sort of frenetic pressure to the table as they have in several games this season but not playing with the same intensity tonight and pies playing well, cloak has his confidence back after last week as well, saints need to lift big time to be any chance in this game from here.

Jones needs to use his ****ing body ffs.  Best tagger in the game, but **** me.  How hard is it.

big big comeback from the saint , playing like a different side now , game on saints by 4points going into 3/4 time

Come on ********s.  I need beer money.  Boy is thirsty...

twice in those marking opportunites BJT Jones has stopped and not run and leapt at the ball, he needed to attack the ball on both those occasions, I know that they have the capability the coaches to show that to him and they should be showing that to him during the break so he attacks the ball in the air rather than stops and waits fo it.

All he needed to do was stop, body out, push out, mark.  Simple.  **** does that for a living in stopping possessions, just needs to apply it to marking.....

Not liking these white maggots this quarter.  Killing us....

Holding Joness arm there.  Maggot ****s.

These ****s in white are deciding the 8 here.  Fair play Pies, but **** me bending over, ridiculous.....

inbelievable by daisy thomas, what a pickup at full tilt and then goals pies by 9points with 9min 50 left

Nah.  These umpires are ****wits.  End of.

Look.  Simple as this.  Those ****wit maggot umpires cost Saints the game.  Simple as.  Yes, Pies had plenty more scoring shots, but the times that matter, those ****wits had too many ridiculous bullshit decisions that easily cost them.  Not happy

very lucky to get away with that one collingwood I didn't have a bet in that game but the umpiring was nothing short of disgraceful, unbelievably bad decsion to give o'brien that free kick, there was no arm contact on o'brien that cost them the goal and a drawn match. It staggering how bad the standard of umpiring has been in crucial moments over the last couple of months.

Saints cost themselves as they jsut made a few cricial errors at times undr pressure inthat final quarter. Milne is undisciplined shiit and has to to stop giving away stupid unnecessary free kicks.

sorry that should read the saints cost themselves as well.

umpires do influence results and another example tonight. Newman is right, some of them think they are the stars of the show and blow their whistles more often than loong johnny holmes and for the same reason... to be the big fat prick in the middle of the screen.

don't often go for all the ump hate..... but that was plain shocking.... Feel for you Saints fans....

massive game for the Swannies today, I'll be there cheering them on

confident we'll win and cover the line but it'd be great to get back on top of the Hawks on percentage, we're 3 and a bit points down now. tough games coming up against the Pies, Hawks and Cats along with a win against the Bulldogs - if we want to finish 1 or 2 percentage could be crucial - although I hope we don't need to worry about it

Tigers surprised me last night but any one of Suns +20.5, Swans -18.5 and Crows -37.5 gets me something back, 2 gives me a profit and 3 is a nice result - GO YOU GOOD THINGS

Expecting a high scoring game in Carlton V Sydney, I believe people have marketed this market wrong.

Im expecting at least 195 points in this game, Sydney are playing an expansive style of footy this season.

Sydney averaging 99.27 pts on the attack this season, Carlton average 91.88 pts per game this season

Going for:

5 units on Over 182.5 at $1.87
2 units on Over 197.5 at $2.90
1 unit on Over 221+ pts at $6.50

Suns woeful early they're making the demons look like a flag contender, no physical pressure whatsoever on the ball carrier and when they get the ball going forward are just bombing it in and it's getting picked off every time, ablett has barely missed but hardly anyone else joining in dees lead 35 to 1 already with 3min 56 left in the first quarter,really disappointing performance to date.

41 to 1 against melbourne, they're are kidding aren't they the suns, I thought they were half a chance today and ha something on a small multi suns, swans, crows. This game is all but over already even against a side as poor as melbourne. More fool me. They need to do some serious recuting inthe off season on this perfromance today. You would hope they lift significantly for the rest of the game because this has been nothing short of pathetic, almost as ordinary as the Eagles were yesterday

Gold Coast need to follow the GWS model and recruit a few older mature players, they going to keep struggling, until they recruit maybe 2-3 players this upcoming season (ready made AFL players), I see more potential in GWS than GC at the moment

much more WCE, although suns have been hit with injury to those mature players this year and that's why they have been trading ridiculous overs for most of the season in the spoon market. Bock was the seriously bad injury, it left bad players like warnock and weller to carry the inexperienced backliners... the inevitable happened.

Thats better footy from the sun two in a row dees trying to show poor they are this quarter, can't wait for the next game swans and blues to start so I can stop watching this rubbish. Ablett been unbelievable ,dont think he's missed a target yet, harley bennell lifted big time this quarter suns now have three in a row 54-28 with 8min 13 left in the second quarter. dont think the dees would be panicking just yet though. Zac Smith just limps off with a possible knee injury players going down like tenpins at the moment. Magner subbed on to the ground for the dees.

... me either lets but have to watch a bit to be ready for mopping duties in the spoon market. This game highlights how pathetic melbourne really is .... they go as hard as johnny holmes playing on home turf against a bottom four side... but as soft as a marshmallow away against anyone.

Yes there a massive bottom end to the league, how the hell did the lions play as good as they did against the eagles earlier in the year after what they served up last night at home, they've gone massively backwards in recent weeks as well. Dogs nowhere fast, there's  going to be some cut throat recruiting in the off season some of these teams are going to have to bite the bullet and work out some serious trades, meaning they will have to give up something in order to get something in return, if they even hope to improve. Pretty depressing for fans of some of these teams I would think. If Gold Coast don't display some serious improvment next season which logically you would think they would, ablett should ask to be traded, he doesn't deserve this. Made his own choice I know but gee with the talent at their disposal they would want to make some serious improvement next season.

well done on Ryan O'Keefe on 250th game for Swans

221+ points paying $8.00 yes please


Carlton get paid Jarrad Waite, big in for the Blues

thank heavens a decent game is about to start, go the Swans.

game being played under closed roof, Waite the captain for Blues today

roof closed today, perfect conditions

already seen the first 2 minutes, this going to be a high tempo fast game today.......

Rhyce Shaw should get a contract to play Ned Kelly.

Lewis Roberts-Thompson (Sydney) 1st Goalscorer of Game

Jarrad Waite (Carlton) 1st goalscorer for Carlton

QTR TIME

Carlton 19-28 Sydney

ODDS

Carlton 4.00 v 1.27 Sydney

High octane level footy, Carlton are right in this game, a high scoring game and I expect the game to open up more as the game goes. Sydney have had more of the ball but have been a bit wasteful with their opportunities.

Very good mail Primus is gone

why would you want to coach Port after their effort yesterday anyway, rucci finally got his way, it never ceases to amaze how the coach gets blamed for an sipid on field effort like that.
Suns basically halved the rest of the game after a disgraceful first quarter losing by 42 points in the end and were down by 40 points at quarter time, so a very ordinary effort really, it just goes to show they could have been right in it if they had come out switched on.

that should have read as insipid obviously

AD

Anyone from the Port that had any involvement in the selection of Primus over Chris Scott, should be barred for life, from holding any position in the club.

Castiron, they had one of the best three coaches of the last 20 years in their system on any measure you can select, and pushed him aside.

Choco should have been coaching for Port, rather than against Port this weekend

Wont disagree, but I would have preferred Scott.

HALF TIME

Carlton 33-54 Sydney

ODDS:

Carlton 6.20 v 1.15 Sydney

Sydney dominated the first half of the 2nd quarter, but Carlton rallied with a couple of late goals to finish that quarter. Carlton still in this, and showing some fight. Carrazzo has to lift been a bit quite in that 1st half. Should be a cracking 2nd half.

Jude Bolton looks gone for the day, hyper extension of knee, ''doesnt look good '' - Hamish McLaughlin

Aaron Josephe looks injured for Carlton

long goal from down town by Kieran Jack

Carlton SUBSTITUTION

Davis ON, Jamison OFF

Sydney SUBSTITUTION

Dennis Lane ON, Jude Bolton OFF

3/4 TIME

Carlton 42-74 Sydney

ODDS:

Carlton 34 V 1.02 Sydney

Carlton dominated the general play in that 3rd quarter but didnt put it on the scoreboard. Hard to see Carlton come back, they need to string a passage of at least 5 consecutive goals , and that will not happen today. Sydney trying to slow down the tempo and just secure another win away from home.

that poor scoring 3rd quarter killed my overs bet

HJaven seen any of the game but crows onoly 22 down at halftime against the bombers after the bombers have obviously thrown everything at them early , that late goal really hurts, crows close enogh for mine to run over them in the 2nd half

Carlton 71-93 Sydney

yep go this one wrong in terms of scoring, well done to Swans on 9th win in a row

a crows loss would be good for teams 5th to 8th

Damn typo's that should read as Haven't seen any of the game

Wouldn't make any difference with the manner in which we're playing currently WCE. Basically since the collingwood game and the 2nd half of the north game our form has been fairly average.

Bombers just traded 20k@ 1.30 while the books had 1.70+..  Would have been nice....

That sort of stuff used to happen in the old days BJT. Been a while since anything traded more than a few % different to the corps. Someone made some nice $$$ there no doubt.

big liquidity for Sundary arvo game

Adelaide V Essendon

Betfair Matched: AUD 409,990

Losing round for me, but when I look at it in hindsight I really should have been on Freo. That result was never in doubt.
Eagles have Port in their last 4 so should make finals, but beyond that they look a spent force. Chance to get back on track by beating the Cats this week, but would you really put money on that?
Someone chuck up round 20 will ya!

Snake they get Glass back but geelong are on the move bigtime and the eagles effort even though I fully expected them to lose on the weekened was pitiful.

I'm sure you'll see a better effort but injuries as I said prior to the last roound have reached a tipping point, rosa will be gone for at least another couple of weeks and don't think they can risk bring embley back against the cats, all going well he should be back for the Port game.
But so many of their players look tired from having to carry such a huge load all year, Kerr nowhere near right he couldnt explode away from packs and I don't care how many touches he had, he shouldnt have played, dalziell has been flying inthe Wafl after recovering from his knee injury and  should have played and I would like to see both him and Brad **** who is playing a well in the WAFL get a look in. Shuey I think was carrying an injury as well and was well down on his normal output as a result Scott selwood hasn't done much since  about round 12 and needs to pull his finger out and Cox clearly wasn't right either. So give them zero hope of beating a charging Geelong.

Was in a good position at the start of the day but ended up losing as well.  Suns were terrible, MCG is a huge advantage in some games. Crows lucky, they seem to have lost form - I thought they'd blow the Bombers away today

Swans did the job and stay top - hope Jude and Mike Pike aren't too bad - we need all our players on deck to win the flag

Luckily threw a few dollars on LRT to kick the first goal - paid for dinner

WCE - I think you need to look at the points conceded as well as scored - Was always going to be tough to get overs up today

Bring on the Pies

p.s. congrats to Ryan O'Keefe on getting to 250 - still playing great footy as well

What did you have for dinner?

WESTERN Bulldogs young gun Tom Liberatore was found by police in a state of unconsciousness in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The Bulldogs became aware of the incident on Sunday and are dealing with the matter.

It is believed the player was found in possession of a small amount of illicit substances, and was questioned by police after they found him at 3.30am on King St in Melbourne's CBD.

He has been placed in a diversion program by police.

Liberatore's health is not of concern to those dealing with the matter, it is believed.

Despite repeated attempts in the past 24 hours, the Bulldogs have failed to return calls on the matter.

It is believed the incident will constitute a "strike" under the AFL's illicit drugs policy.

World's leading drugs policy strikes again, what a joke it is.

Don't think it's all that funny Lets, especially for the kid involved and his family.

how bad is Jude's knee joel

can't win it without him..

Not saying it is funny I am saying the AFL"s supposed worlds leading drugs policy is an absolute joke, what's unclear about that Joel.

Well you say it's a joke, but it's not funny. I'm confused.

It's not so bad teddles, he thinks 2-3 weeks, but Doc Larkins reckons maybe a bit longer....but doesn't need reconstruction....phew.

cheers mate

Joel haven't you ever heard the phrase that's an absolute joke,  its called sarcasm, look up sarcasm in the dictionary and you might learn something. I'm actually saying their worlds leading drug policy which they continualy boast about is a crock of shiit, or what a crock etc. Either you're very dumb or you're pulling my leg one or the other, either way I've wasted enough time.
