Geelong margin against Melbourne: Prediction thread.

[Mofra]

155 points: a team at their lowest ebb vs the reigning premiers, unfurling the premiership flag, with 3 to come back into the side.

 

[royboy2]

I can honestly see our record in danger the cats could give the 190 points a nudge

 

[HBF]

145 points. Will this be shortest odds in AFL history

Could very well be.

 

[chrisjie]

What were some of WCE odds back in the day? I remember them being a $1.10 maybe? Not sure.

Anyway, Geelong should play normally for the first half, if they're up by 60 I think they'll rest their players and play at half pace. Finishing up winning by around 70-80.

 

[kingyubbo]

With Mackie back, they'll win by 83. Gamble to kick 5 and Bartel/Corey/Mackie to get 30+ possies each.

 

[Jef Costello]

10 or so goals depending on conditions.

 

[SOSBenny]

Can we have the mercy rule introduced and just give geelong the four points now?!?!

 

[LifeSpan-Void]

Three premiership players likely to return in Max Rooke, Brad Ottens and Andrew Mackie.

Heard in an interview with Stokes today that they're in no hurry to rush Ottens back in, they're quite happy to give West some game time at this stage of the year. Ottens will be more important to us in the latter part of the season anyway, no point burning him out now.

 

[Seethus]

107

 

[Cohzee]

8-12 goals, depending on the weather. KP is nowhere near as easy to score at as the Dome.

 

[Kittenish]

Can we have the mercy rule introduced and just give geelong the four points now?!?!

Yeah, it'd save time for all of us.

I reckon that rule should be implemented against Richmond, Carlton and Melbourne. Just to save face for both teams.

 

[OldStyle2007]

Years ago when footy was tougher I would have almost tipped the dees because teams under the pump could usually pull out a hard fought win through ANY MEANS NECESSARY (and particularly against the cats if you remember our losses to Fitzroy in their last few years)

These days there is no hiding for teams lacking either foot speed or skill - or worse for Melbourne: BOTH

 

[blues4flag]

Could be record odds in Geelong's favour given the opening two rounds.

I'm tipping Richmond's effort against the Cats will be made to look competitive after Melbourne get trounced.

 

[boof1988]

well the weather forcast is mostly sunny... so i'll tip geelong to win by 154

yeah can you rest bartel chapman mooney scarlett ablett ling please too. cheers

 

[}>-DEMON-<{]

You're all forgetting Jared Rivers will be back in, he is a tremendously important player for us

Cats by 200

 

[Philhawk]

Geelong by 200.

 

[juddy_Like]

The Geelong reserves probaly could beat Melbourne.

Pussies by 20 goals.

 

[Grimreepah]

78 points.

 

[Coolangatta]

I'm predicting Geelong to tank and win by less than 150pts.

 

[LiZ4RD]

Cats by about

points

 

[ChrisFooty]

Geelong could play rubbish and still win by 100 points. Melbourne unfortunley are not playing with any passion.

 

[M-Train]

I know Ill cop criticism for this but dont be surprised if Melbourne win!

Melbourne are way better than where they are now!

I will be extremely surprised (as well as annoyed) if Melbourne win. Sorry but I just don't think they have it in them right now.

 

[couchy555]

It will be under eighty i reckon. We dont kick as big a score at skilled as we do at the dome, plus who knows what the weather mite be like by then. Reckon if melbourne get under ten goals they should be happy..
