Imagine if you got really drunk last night and were messing around with your team and somehow ended up with Ed Phillips as your captain and he scored 32...

You didn’t!...did you

Oh noes...

In other news - Neale up and about! (finally)

 

[Professor]

Does anyone know how to find out what the suns odds were to win when they were down by however many pts early in the game?

Not sure, but this came up on the HS live feed.

Yep, someone needs to come out of the 8 for us. Might as well be the swans

better focus on beating the Dockers first before looking too far ahead

 

[Maccas marvels]

Can’t help but be happy for the suns with that win.

That was a massive opportunity missed by Sydney who have a pretty tough run home from here.

Teams are so even these days compared to yesteryear, only need to be 5% off your game and you can be knocked off

 

[Herbie66]

Not sure what SOS will do, now that we're practically guaranteed a prize for coming last. He might go Walsh, who knows. I say bring in free agent Barlow, we need experience and a big body in the mids , he can't get a game at the shns and scored something like 48 and 50 touches in his last 2 games.

wish I had watched Footy Classifieds Monday night , they had SOS on defending a lot of his selections

kids are not going to solve the problems short term , no guarantee any if them make it no matter how good they are as juniors

think they need to try and get 3-4 quality players in around the 23-27 year mark that can stay 7-10 years.

Understand you can't draft 10 kids , but a lot of the recycled players are list clogger's.

If they can get someone like Barlow for free go for it , but also need to look mid term and long term for when Murphy , Simpson & Thomas are gone.

I shouldn't be laughing at this Mr Bandit but since opening the doors of the no trades club your posts have been very entertaining.

 

[PC]

Surely someone like Holman could have been good for the Blues...seems to be going ok at the Suns!

 

[lavenderbandit]

You didn’t!...did you

Yep. Honesty no idea how. Checked the side this morning and was like what the heck did drunk me do?
Good night tho!

Kids like Gowers and Holman weren't doing much a couple of years ago, but given opportunities at their new clubs and doing well. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Carlton definitely have many cloggers, hopefully some get punted at the end of the year.

Sorry see response to Herbie, would have been a nicety to have him this year..lol

Wowee. Not sure anyone would be crazy enough to put any cash on but alcohol can make you do some pretty unthinkable things sometimes (ask lavenderbandit ).

Just called tab customer service, apparently they can't get historical info up, what a croc.

PUNTING NIGHTMARE
Jamie Tate
YOU can’t say that no one saw Gold Coast’s upset victory coming yesterday.
One lonely, but very happy, TAB punter placed $200 on the Suns pre-match at $17 to defeat Sydney for a $3400 collect.
That person was far happier than the punter who had $5000 on the Swans at $1.03.
Such was the predicted one-sided nature of the SCG clash that the TAB even suspended its head-to-head market at quarter-time with Sydney leading by 29 points.
In terms of pre-match odds it was the biggest upset since the TAB starting fielding on AFL games in 1995.
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

Oh they were pre match odds. I wonder what the live odds blew out to then!

yeah can't get 1/4 time odds.

PS For those playing at home, watching the Bombers Dockers game, keep your eye out for @Creeker on the boundary line. ?
