So you are agreeing with my point on not writing off the giants then?
Not sure what you are trying to argue here mate but its falling directly in line with my initial point after you were writing off the giants...
Richmond when they won were clearly the form team of that finals series. However I don't think GWS are any more in form than Richmond are this year. You could make a case for both of them.
I never dealt in absolutes, you were the one dealing in absolutes saying that GWS wouldn't win due to their home and away form.No - you don't understand - you can't say the Giants will win because all the form teams have won in 2017 and 2016 because BEFORE THE EVENT in 2017 you could have argued that it was Adelaide that was the form team of the finals...and they lost!

I said don't write them off for their form during the year but definitely stated it could go either way.
Pointing out a trend = absolutes?Except the absolutes about the 'form' finals team winning in 2016 and 2017 right?
Clearly the form side when Adelaide had flogged both GWS and Geelong to get to the Grand Final and went in as the hottest faves for many years? - some solid revisionist history being written here
It's tricky because against Coll Whitfield and Greene were missing. It was also wet and when it dried up Coll came storming home. Could easily of lost. Against Bris they jumped them and then got reeled back in. Could easily of lost. Smashed WB who had been in terrific form.Richmond when they won were clearly the form team of that finals series.

Rich were in trouble against Geel but in the end won by 3 goals. Thrashed Bris away (good form reference with how GWS went). Looks like Rich profile better here than GWS. If you like GWS then the half time line is probably the go. If Rich are up at half time then I can't see GWS storming home.
Interestingly between them they have covered the line in all 5 finals games.
I’m not sure that I subscribe to the theory that wet conditions suit GWS. I actually think the opposite is true. Sure, Collingwood came back in the last quarter, but I don’t think that had anything to do with the weather drying up, was more just desperation stakes for Collingwood. GWS are obviously a great stoppage side, but they have 3 big targets up forward and have very good ball-use, which is more suited to dry weather. If anything rain would much suit Richmond imo, but that’s irrelevant as it won’t tomorrow.It's tricky because against Coll Whitfield and Greene were missing.

Place pays out if the player kicks one of the first 3 goals for the match.Anyone know how an each way 1st goal scorer bet works?
For instance Pickett 1st goal at TAB at 26
Place 7.25
