Thats not really hard to believe
I like it how The tigers are have more of a change than the following:
Geelong 3.50
Kangaroos 3.00
Melbourne 3.50
Carlton 4.00
Western Bulldogs 4.00

I honestly think Kangas will struggle this year and the Hawks will be big improvers

 

[raskolnikov]

I'd have a bit on Melbourne at those odds. It is an even year after all.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

The Eagles are bound for top 8 - its hard for me to see them missing..

Melbourne are my tip for the Spoon.

 

[Hit And Rum]

I would love to see the reverse odds of teams not making the eight.

Brisbane to not make the eight would be astronomical!

Richmond 2.20 to make the eight, 2.20 to not make the eight, 1.0000000001 to come ninth!!!!

I doubt you'd get those odds when Hawthorn are in the hunt for it as well.

Interesting that there are 10 teams Under even money for 8 spots, and the Tigers are just Over evens..

It drops away rather rapidly after that.

Would not surprise me to see one of the bottom 5 get into the 8 as there is usually one smokey each year....

The HARD part is picking that ONE

From that lot I'd take the Dees

I can't believe Hawthorn is 4th pick. WCE are certainties. they have a quality midfield and 10 home games in WA against interstate opposition. They only need to win another 2 or 3 games and they have another 2 against Freo which they should split plus some travelling games against the weaker opposition. I wouldn't take $4 for Carlton or the Dogs with stolen money. Port are a good enough bet. Brisbane and Collingwood are too short. Even a side as good as Brisbane can fall over so I'd want a better return.

The Kangas @ $3.00 looks the best value bet of all amongst that bunch. Coming of a season with 11 wins, 1 draw and 10 losses the form looks OK and the list in better shape than last season.

 

[Tigerrific]

I would have expected Freo to be shorter odds than the Eagles. I also think that Essendon and Sydney represent poor value as I wouldn't be surprised if both teams were looking on in Sept this year.

 

[GOALden Hawk]

Hawthorn should be more like 1.80 - appalling odds.

I like the look of Freo at 1.82, but unless you multiple bet or go for a rank outsider not much money to be made here.

On paper yes, but obviously the bookies are framing the odds from a different formula.

I've got $200 on essendon to win the flag at $12.

Why not give it to the Salvos - at least that is tax deductible.

 

[Seb]

$3.50 for Geelong isn't too shabby.

Might place a bet or two.

I won over a grand at the spring carnival. So i used some of that money to make that bet. So really im losing nothing. If i win it is a decent payoff.

Geez all those r bloody short, think I'll wait till half of those teams get booted out of the wizard cup first round, then the money is made.
