Grand Final: Swans v Hawks

[X_box_X]

I am surprised there is no thread yet. I'm guessing everyone is too busy finalising their Brownlow Medal bets.

I reckon Swans will win.

Norm Smith prediction: Parker
Smokey: McGlynn
Big smokey: Langford

I had $110 in bonus bets left over, and I chucked $60, $40 and $10 on them at $10, $21 and $51 respectively.

 

[KardiniaPark]

I would have Had parker but he's an awful price. I thought he would be high teens.

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Lewis Jetta is at a pretty decent quote.

I couldn't think of a time when he has ever been BOG in any game ever? 500-1 it will be this one.

The Norm Smith has many times come down to a popularity contest than legitimate BOG.

Stevie J over Chappy, Lenny Hayes over Goddard, O'keefe over Hanners etc.

Stevie J deserved it. Pendles was very lucky, I thought Sidebottom was clear BOG

 

[Lensen]

Hayes played four immense quarters, Goddard three good ones and one that might be in the top few of all time

Lenny was a clear winner for mine


Now ROK over Hannebery and loljudd over LRT I'll happily agree with

 

[Cudi]

Got on Parker at $17 for Norm Smith so really happy with that.

Reckon McGlynn is a good chance at the medal as well if he plays well, the judges will love the story. Was hoping he wasn't as short as $16 though.

 

[The GOAT]

Swans good value there. I think they'll cover the -7.5 with ease.

 

[Keystone agony]

I think swans aswell.

However not underestimating the hawks. Can the Mcveighs, Hanneberrys, Kennedys, Jacks hold up to the ferociousness of Lewis, Burgoynes, Mitchell, Hodge in the middle? Those sydney guys can be vulnerable in the tight contest sometimes and dont have the competitive edge over those hawks.

Hawks really were a 4-5 goal better side than port last week IMO and just let them get on a slight role which makes them one of the hardest to stop when they do.

 

[Zealbee]

Sydney 1-39 seems to be the best bet IMO.

 

[Crawb]

Honestly I like Hawthorn in a close upset, so Hawthorn 1-19 @4.50

 

[Jammer]

Hawks getting close to being backable $2.50 on Betfair?

 

[banana_bus]

Very backable.

All the Swans love is understandable, they look dominant. But I think everyone is underestimating the Hawks... they did beat Sydney earlier in the year... how quickly people forget...

As did North Melbourne.. and look what happened to them last week... how quickly people forget...

North beat the Swans in Rd4, in the same month Sydney lost to GWS and Collingwood. Much different comparison.

 

[The GOAT]

Tippett is up and going now, was terrible a few weeks ago. Swans should be about $1.50 IMO

 

[Jammer]

Agree think swans are a better team
But feel we are getting fed the usual
Line from the media .....

Who stops the forwards? It will be won in the middle?

I believe it will be won with the most efficient functioning forward line

 

[Jammer]

Not the " biggest names" in the forward line....

 

[SterlingArcher]

Hawks -8.5 @ $1.92
McGlynn NS @ $16 (McGlynn/Inglis double @ $176 too)
Tippett FGS/Sydney 30-30 @ $91

 

[MikeLike]

Is anyone going to have a shot at either teams under 15.5? I suspect it is going to bea very close game.

 

[RobbyRoy]

Seems a lot of people agree with you because I got him at $31 on Sunday. He's a very legitimate chance, even without the story.

 

[STANDBYHIRD12]

Buddy more goals than Rough at $3. Max bet of $50. Thoughts guys?

Good value. Where?

 

[TBellicious]

I reckon Ben McGlynn for the Norm smith is a good bet, fairytale story... old club... great form
