A little of both. That being said I'm not a huge better, but thought some might find some value here.
With $1.85 lines, I don't think in the long term it is at all wise to be multing these markets.

Can see these odds firming up once round 1 starts, so wanted to give a heads up to other punters that want to get on early.

You could try Palmerbet - I seem to remember you are something of a fan.
I'd rather the $1.05

What about dogs over north?
You know what, the way we played on Friday night it wouldn't surprise me
Is the sportsbet promo just for round 2 as well? Pretty sure it is just checking...
At the moment I'm eyeing off, will place on thursday when i see teams
Head to Head bets on sportsbet:
Brisbane H2H @ 3.75
- In the two meetings between the sides in 2013, the Lions took it right up to the Cats winning by 5pts in Rd 13 after an amazing comeback and losing by only 1pt in Rd 23.
- Even if the Lions don't win i predict it to be a close contest.
Western Bulldogs H2H @ 2.85
- If North come out with that bruise free footy we saw on Friday night.
The Dogs will run right over the top as they are becoming a strong contested footy side.
- Goldstein could potentially be out for 3 months, meaning Dan Currie will most likely make his debut after an average NAB cup showing.
Collingwood H2H @ 2.80
- Strong record in recent times against the Swans in Sydney, both teams will be out to prove something after disappointing loses.
- Think Collingwoods midfield engine of Swan & Pendlebury will get on top with the nice ruckwork of Grundy
Essendon H2H @ 2.80
- As much as i hate to admit it, Essendon were impressive. I think they will continue their tradition of great early season form and take it up to the Hawks.
- Chapman, Watson & Goddard to have a big night again
- Essendon play Etihad Stadium much better than the Hawks
Multi:
Essendon (+16.5)
Collingwood (+17.5)
Brisbane (+28.5)
Western Bulldogs (+16.5)
@ 11.71
Where did you hear that? Scans said no injury to muscle or tendon i thought
Essendon were horrible, fortunately for them North were absolutely abysmal.
You may want to do the research on this champ.
Screw it, I'll do it for you... last year the Hawks beat them there by 56, the year before by 94.
Hawks havent lost at Etihad since 2010.

-Scans cleared Goldy and North are confident he will play. As seen with Swallow Norths medical team don't take unnecessary risks (early talk Swallow could push to return early midseason but he won't be back til past the halfway mark) - and I would think if Goldy wasn't 100% we would play Currie and then just try to shark off Minson and just hope Currie can go with big Will around the ground.
-Hawks are pretty damn good at Etihad (they are pretty damn good anywhere to be honest). Be careful here, Essendon were impressive and people saying "Essendon were horrible" clearly don't understand how good a coach Bomber is and that they do have an excellent midfield (as seen by their first 4 months every year), but still...Mitchell/Hodge/Lewis is a different proposition in terms of contested ball, Shiels will go with Watson and at the very least put him under a lot of pressure (so he won't be getting 39 @ 80%...might still get 35 but he won't have the time to hit up targets as well), McEvoy/Hale will push Ryder, the Hawks defence are not going to be as susceptible one-on-one as our defence was, and Roughead/Gunston are harder to match up on than Petrie/Black (as well as Hale/O'Brien). Hawks at $1.42 aren't great value but I reckon they are strong favourites for a reason.
-That multi isn't bad though
I wouldn't say Essendon were horrible, considering the had 3 debutants their effort was strong.
I suppose Hawthorn is another thing all together though...
Ok i was wrong there, i suppose the Hawks haven't lost many games anywhere over the last few years.
Worth a punt if the sportsbet promo is still on though.
I heard it just after the match, apparently we are hopeful of him being right to play now.
Still my point stands, will be interesting to see how the dogs go today in the west.
And you may want to take up your advice and do some research. In 2012 the Hawks won by 94 when Essendon had many out due to soft tissue injuries and was barely doing any running on the training track due to this. In 2013 the supplements saga had taken its toll on the whole group as you could see the results towards the end of the year.
Lance Franklin who is generally good for 5 goals plus is not there anymore.
This game will be a lot closer than the past 2 results. Being played early in the year is a plus for Essendon.

At first glance I'm liking Richmond, might wait for the teams but St Kilda could be worth a look. Hawthorn should get up but they weren't super impressive against Brissy. North surely win, Brisbane could be interesting... might be a worth a look on the money back promo?
