AFL 2008 Premiers

[whattagun07]

Apologies if this thread has already been put up, but i just noticed the odds for the 2008 premiership on the TAB website.

Geelong - 3.50
West Coast - 8.50
Port - 9.00
Freo - 10.00
Collingwood - 11.00
Hawthorn - 11.00
St Kilda - 12.00
Adelaide - 15.00
Sydney - 16.00
Brisbane - 21.00
Carlton - 26.00
Essendon - 35.00
Kangaroos - 35.00
Bulldogs - 35.00
Richmond - 51.00
Melbourne - 61.00

Im not accustomed to betting prior to the season starts, so how do people think these odds look?
I see some value in West Coast and Hawthorn

If I could back 4 teams, it would be.....

Collingwood (of course), St Kilda, Geelong and Hawthorn.

Carn the Pies..... Hopefully 08 is our year!!!

haha, Freo should be 10/1 just to make the 8. When will people learn...

lol yeah it just shows that a lot of people (not just freo supporters) rate their list. they're just a bunch of underachieving hacks

With this Benny Cousins news, the Eagles' odds have shot up just a tad. Had a small speculative bet on them at 10.00.

 

[JuddtoCarlton]

carlton at $26 is a safe bet

 

[In_My_Opinion]

Get On The Blue Boys.

Rumour Has It That Dick Pratt Has Offered 1 Million In Cardboard Boxes To West Coast For Ben Cousins.

Blue Boys In 2009 Will Be A Force To Be Recond With!!!!

 

[whattagun07]

west coke out to $12, and 7th in line for the flag.
value is getting better by the minute

 

[CF]

Collingwood not bad at $11. They had a real crack this year

 

[Dingster]

West Coast minus Judd and Cousins....pass.

Geelong were awesome this year and must be the team to beat again. 6-10 months is a long time to wait for $3.50 though.

Hawthorn at $11 is the value bet.

 

[Captain_Knowall]

Essendon should be about $500... they are a disgrace!

Sportsbet are way to tight with their odds....

 

[Bobby Beecroft]

Get On The Blue Boys.

Rumour Has It That Dick Pratt Has Offered 1 Million In Cardboard Boxes To West Coast For Ben Cousins.

Hope he hasn't set a fixed price for which the Eagles can on-sell those boxes.

Recently history has taught us, you must have a gun midfield with no weaknesses.

Only chances,

Geelong
Port
Saints
Brisbane
Sydney

Nothing outside that 5 will win.

The Port midfield are good, but honestly they are very weak and crumble under any real pressure. They are not a chance next year regardless of where they finish.

Brisbane are a good smokey I think.

i agree with this at $21 good odds

i do think collingwood at $10


BRISBANE/COLLINGWOOD GF Quinella are at $92

 

[The GOAT]

hawks and pies clearly the best value

Anyone know when brownlow odds are released?

Having some more at 12.50. Cousins is a gun for sure, but the young West Coast side won't be down and out in '08.

Anyone know when brownlow odds are released?

you have to remember that there's still the draft & pre season drafts etc... so somewhere around November-January is my estimate.
