Squiggle tips Demons at 77% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
Just saying.
Let's say you pay off an AFL side to throw a game. You know, cos it's not like there are 40,000 soccer games the agencies offer every day that no one cares about which are easier money, but let's say, cos we're having fun here...
...You've decided to pay off an AFL team. To reach a critical mass of underperforming players you probably need at least 4 stars to completely not try. They're on about 5,000 a match or whatever, so considering what's at stake for them (their entire career) you need to offer a couple of hundred grand per person. Then they all need to accept it without dobbing about the approach from the bookies. Unlikely but let's keep going.
So you've got a few guys in your pocket, then you factor in that it's a game with 22 players on the team and 18 on the field at a time so even having 4 or so in your pocket isn't a guarantee. Let's just say to get enough guys in your pocket you spent a million. You probably need about $10m turnover just to make it worth it.
I used to work for a bookie. Aint many of them who could do $10m turnover if they tried, and those who have licences - say all of those operating in Australia, who do the most turnover - would never take the risk.
5. Shuey - Out and out solidified himself as a premier mid and should be AA
4. Gaff - loved his game since he's spent more time on the ball
3. Barrass - loved how he's getting some love.
2. Sheed - when he has the ball in hand, its like a mix between priddis and pendles how time slows down.
1. Kennedy - B2B
HM: Giles, Lycett, Masten, Wellingham, Sheppard, Butler & McGovern
DM: E. Yeo - If we had one more week before finals I'd give him the Stringer treatment. He's been pathetic all year. Time to stop drinking his bath water. We need him to lift if we're a chance. I've never been so disappointed in a player.
