Do not want to get to far ahead of myself here but-
What do people think of the $2.70 odds for us to make the final 8?
I have some of my hard earned on them with the theory if we can get up
over the Kangas and then get over Collinwood on Anzac day we could be well on the way to getting there. Remembering in my opinion Welsh and Prismall are goin to add alot to our side.

I wouldn't dream of it - that would be putting the mockers on the team. I'd rather wish our team:"Into the Lion's Den!", Just like Kirk Douglas said in the film Grand Prix!! :D

I vote we ban the F word until much, much later in the season (if applicable).

You can get 5's on Button. My theory iis :if you back Button, that would put the mockers on him and Mark Webber might win. :p

Webber will never win a GP come on:D
it will interest you to know that teams inside the 8 after rd7 have around an 87.5% chance of making it. (averages out to about 1 change over the past 10yrs)
last year, all 8 teams made the finals
and the year before, i think all 8 teams made the finals as well.
it's worth following up on. ;)

Our draw is pretty tough but i can see the bombers finishing a possible 9th or 10th. We could make the finals though just need no injuries and a win against possibly a top four team

Interesting, had a quick look today and noticed Richmond who were highly fancied to make the 8 probably have gone backwards, so that may eliminate one of our rivals. Perhaps the roos aswell and Adelaide.

the big question is whether or not we'll be inside the 8 after rd7 ???
rd4 - North Melb TD sun
rd5 - Collingwood MCG sat
rd6 - Brisbane G sat(n)
rd7 - Hawthorn TD fri(n)
we need to be on 4 wins (or 3 wins + massive %)... and even that is no guarantee
i reckon the Brisbane, Hawthorn games are gonna bite us on the arze.

We can get a pair of wins against North, Pies (still not that good)
Brisbane down here I'd be confident of... should not be a blow-out loss. We've played them OK the last few years.
Hawks should beat us at. They will beat us. At G would be a lot more messy than Docklands.
Also by round 7 we should be regaining players. Pris, Welsh etc in the wings.

Hopefully We can beat North this weekend, and just importantly get through the game injury free. If we can get to Anzac Day Unscathed we have a show against the pies.
Brisbane, my prediction is an easy win, even up there, with one of our midfielders kicking a bag.
And as for Hawthorn...Lets just hope there injury woes continue.
I dont think Knights would settle for anything less then 4-3 after 7 games, but Id say 5 - 2 Is not out of reach.

Lets ALL go put a lazy $500 on The dons to MISS top 8 ($1.30)
I reckon I'd pay $500 to see us make finals, and at least if we don't we are getting compensated :p
Same theory, I always place a $20 Combo bet on our opposition for the week. I think of it as Paying $20 for the dons to win, and if not Im getting compensated for my loss :p

Still pretty bad.
