West Coast by 3??

[Go Swannies]

On sportsbet Dees were $1.97 and Swans $2.02 in from $2.30 at the start of the game.

Close to even money. And so it proved.

I'm pretty certain BBB is right - we'd reeled them in, but the Dees started as favourites.

We won the last game by 66 points I think looking at AFL.com. But every year is new and they have improved out of site. We must improve our skills this week as they were poor in the last 2 weeks in parts. Most of last week they were poor in fact & I thought that our skill deficiencies let the Dons into the game. If we stuff up against WCE we will get punished as they have punished others this year. By the way the pundits never pick us anyway. Caro Wilson is her usual Swan hating self I see, I dion't think I have ever seen her pick us.

I guess we'll need to agree to disagree...

So we will win by 2 goals and 66 behinds then? I'm hoping its not a 3 point margin. The last four games stretching back into last year's finals have all had margins of 5 points or less. Not god for the heart. A 5 goal Swans victory would do me.

Win this one and we'll will slide up to 3rd position. I'd be happy with that too.

Last year we smashed the Eagles, and they finished last - nowhere near the finals...

Predicting a team wins by 3 points indicates that they don't know who will win.

They Swans need to pick up from their last two performances.

We were not the punters pick in Rd 1 v Melbourne. The Dees started warm favourites.

we were initially very long and came into about 2.20 on the day. we were about 1.40 at 3/4 time...

It was of some interest to me to watch the afl show after the bounce on sunday night where the various panel members (and yes I know spud, dunstall, whateley and fleming are an unusual group) had done their tips prior to the start of the season. the first three all had us out of the 8 and whateley had us only winning 6 games.

i think the tipsters will lean west coast this week - i remember in about 2001/2 dermott brereton providing an example of just tipping the home team and whoever played the bottom team got you a better result than the very best tipping expert in the newspapers...

[Triple B]

So far this year we have been the punters favourite in both games and long shots according to the tipsters. We have not lost.

Once again we are the punters faviourite and the tipsters will probably follow the same pattern and go for the Eagles.

Smart money is always to go with the putners.

Ooooh if we keep winning (or at least drawing) the games the 'experts' expect us to lose then shock, horror, we might find ourselves deeply ensconced in the 8 at the end of the year - how many 'experts' predicted that???

[ScottH]

Last week they also predicted Essendon. The boys will have to prove them wrong again.

It's hard being the under dog year in, year out.
