You're not. $1.60 for Geelong on Tabsportsbet and 2/3 are tipping the Cats.

I consider Geelong favourites since it's being played at Kardinia (unless I grossly misread, a possibility after last week's Melbourne "home" fuck-up!), and I've tipped them. Imagine it'll be quite close.

Hope Tiges get up over Carlton!

The AFL has an official app now, which is free. It's not perfect, but it has potential.

LemonMelon · 07-25-2012, 01:46 AM

AFL LIVE FOOTY NOW LIVE NOW is better than the official app.

I don't get that to be honest. I know it's at SS but I don't really understand.

Axver · 07-25-2012, 01:53 AM

I think it's that a lot of people - myself included, until possibly last week - think Adelaide's position on the ladder slightly flatters them because of their easy draw.

Vlad n U 2 · 07-25-2012, 02:00 AM

Would people shut up about the easy draw? It is not the reason we're in the top 4.

Don't North get to play both GC and GWS twice as well? Why are they not where we are?

Axver · 07-25-2012, 02:08 AM

But it IS an incredibly easy draw and the qualification is necessary - I'd give anything for Essendon to have that schedule. Beat teams like Hawthorn or Collingwood in Melbourne and then I think we can dispel claims Adelaide's ladder spot flatters them, but as it stands, you got flogged by the Hawks in Melbourne and couldn't even beat the Pies at home.

The Sydney win on the road does speak a lot in the Crows' credit, though.

Vlad n U 2 · 07-25-2012, 02:11 AM

Pretty much everyone gets flogged by Hawthorn in Melbourne ... excluding Geelong.

And note the improvement has increased considerably from round 3 to now, so it may not be the best match example to bring up.

I don't see why the draw's such a problem since we finished 14th last year and it's not as if anyone really expected us to be in the 8 but now that we are everyone's whining.

Axver · 07-25-2012, 02:26 AM

I'm not whining, I'm just saying that if your draw was as hard as the rest of the top six or seven, I'm not convinced you'd still be second. Top six for sure, top eight at worst, but second? Yeah, skeptical.

You can all stop teasing me about barracking for too many teams now.

You may continue teasing me for being a Tiges supporter.

Enjoy many years of suffering

Nah Richmond fans are the best. We once came across some after a game where they won, and it was actually like they'd just won the grand final. They put up with a lot, but they're so very faithful!

We've won like 36 of our past 37 there. It's a fortress.

The Sad Punk · 07-25-2012, 05:15 AM

I tipped the Cats.

So they'll probably lose.

I used to use Footy live.

The Sad Punk · 07-25-2012, 09:19 AM

Aussie Rules Live does the job well.

The icon is a footy on a patch of green grass, just in case you're (understandably) getting these names confused with one another.

This is the one I used (and loved), but I can't find it in the Google Play store anymore.

I just downloaded this (from Google play - I found it no worries, hope you can get it too!), and love it already. Thanks for the tips!

intedomine · 07-27-2012, 03:20 AM

Hoping that West Sydney are well and truly worn out and Collingwood smash them by 226 points, with Pendlebury and Swan accumulating a lazy 100 possies between them.

And that Cloke kicks 10, so he goes up in value so I can drop him from Supercoach just in time for him to be useless again.

Vlad n U 2 · 07-27-2012, 05:15 AM

This is the definition of a training drill unfortunately ...

Essendon just can't do anything now.
