Come on Cotchin!

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Jobe will probably be a better coach and commentator than his dad too.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Come on Cotchin!

Quinella is yours.

 

[spookism]

I had Cotchin/Watson quinella up for tonight. 8 to 1.

Cotchin isn't looking too good. Ah well. Watching Paddy is worth it.

Winning?


I had Brad as our top vote getter, as well as Kennedy Top 3. 50%

 

[Stromageddon]

If Cotchin has finished joint second, does my bet still count?

It was a quinella thing with Watson/Cotchin.

I think your odds get reduced!

Had a sneaky $1 on the Watson/Mitchell/Cotchin trifecta at 300/1. It got halved because of the tie for second!

The Brownlow votes can't be far from mirroring our votes.

1. Brad Ebert (=40th)
2. Hamish Hartlett (=60th)
2. Travis Boak (=60th)
4. Matthew Broadbent (=79th)

5. Kane Cornes (=104th)
=6. Paul Stewart (=137th)
=6. Jay Schulz (=137th)
=6. Brett Ebert (=137th)
=6. Dom Cassisi (=137th)
=10. Justin Westhoff (=177th)
=10. Matt Thomas (=177th)
=10 Darren Pfeiffer (=177th_

I'm wondering how the Crows supporters will claim the moral Brownlow win?

That's bullshit. They're the first three!

 

[spookism]

Yeah, I was just thinking that is the trifecta - how could they halve it?

 

[Ebert80]

Bruce McAvaney just said Melbourne are in a "rebuilding phase".

When were they ever not in a rebuilding phase

They had two players poll over 20 votes each. I think only Beams/Swan did that but with less votes than Dangerson/Thomfield. Therefore Crows can claim the mixed doubles Brownlow.

 

[tribey]

Multi:

Sydney to beat Collingwood - 1st
Hawthorn to beat Adelaide - 1st
Beams MV Cwd - 2nd
Dal Santo MV StK - 2nd
Giles MV GWS - 1st
Boyd MV WB - 2nd
Cox MV WCE - 4th

At a loss as to why I didn't take Giles on the nose - $3.50 he was paying standalone.

 

[timmyd33]

Yeah i thought it was pretty average. I could understand the odds being reduced if someone else tied with them, might chuck the betting agency an email to see whats going on.

Advertiser - "Just two days after a courageous loss, the very young NAB Premiership Crows proved why they are this years 'Moral' Premiers and next years Premiership favourites with 2 out of the top 7 players in the land."

AFL.com even has Swan and Thompson as =4th

Absolutely. Fact is, they were the clear first three past the post. Shocking form to try to dud you out of $150 which is peanuts to a betting firm.

 

[finbarr]

Come on Clangerfield, downhill ski your way to third you arrogant water-drinking prick.

Haha. Quoted for awesomeness.

The whole table were awfully pleased with themselves.

"Yay second place and didn't make grand final! We're proud to be chokers!"

It could be because the trifecta has to be the top 3 in the correct order? Dunno, clutching at straws.

 

[Doctor Feel]

What was with the crows w***ers and their outrageous cheers every time one of them scored a vote? Seriously.

Must have been driving people nuts.

 

[Schulzenfest]

So used to everything being about them. Probably didn't notice there were other tables in the room. I'm sure the Advertiser didn't.

So really, Thompson and Dangerfield finished first and second? Damn the AFL for not giving the Crows the recognition they deserve.
