    AFL website predictions

    Something different, in the past few weeks their predictions have been ok in predicting the line, I assume they get people who know the teams to write the preview. Still a square prediction though, this is just for fun guys, I only use this when I want to make a play for the sake of it.

    This thread is on behalf of the AFL

    I would like your thoughts on anything you like.


    Hawks by 11 @Docklands (Hawks -6.5)

    Adelaide by 25 @Metricon (Suns +27.5)

    West Coast by 21 @Subi (Dons +22.5)

    North by 6???????????? @Docklands (Dockers +21.5)

    Pies by 43 @M C G (Lions +74.5) {why did it edit M C G ?**

    StKilda by 13 @ANZ (Stkilda -9.5)

    Western Bulldogs by 51 @Football Park (Bulldogs -32.5)


    I think they are trying to be respectful with the Pies and Bulldogs predictions. I love the Bulldogs line, a definite play for me. North only by 6? They mad? We'll see.

    Bulldogs, saints and hawks are definite plays for me.

    Must say I like that Dogs line too. There's been a lot of talk in Adelaide this week about Rodney Eade becoming the new Crows coach. He would want to put in a good showing.

    So this is tipping with lines right?

    I'm just letting the prediction decide which side of the line will be chosen. So if they predict Hawks will win by 11 and the line is 6.5 then it's the Hawks line.

    Yup, there wasn't a write-up of that game, at the time. There is now.

    Melbourne by 13 @ M C G (Melbourne +4.5)

    A little surprising.

    AFL website predictions

    freo vs magpies - magpies by 75 points

    hawks vs bulldogs - Hawks by 43 points

    cats vs swans - cats by 28 points

    saints vs roos - saints by 8 points

    lions vs eagles - eagles by 15 points

    crows vs tigers - crows by 2 points

    dees vs suns - dees by 19 points

    bombers vs power - bombers by 48 points


    SPORTAL predictions


    freo vs magpies - Magpies by 80 points and I'm probably under-estimating it. (exactly their words)

    hawks vs bulldogs - Hawks by 45 points

    cats vs swans - cats by 42 points

    saints vs roos - saints by 5 points

    lions vs eagles - eagles by 23 points

    crows vs tigers - crows by 23 points

    dees vs suns - dees by 16 points

    bombers vs power - bombers by 57 points


    Thats the two compared this round, alot of picks close in the margins. during the start and core of the season, these two sites dont always pick the same teams. sportal are more brave to pick an underdog

    I forgot about this thread, thanks for that

    I'll go back later and see how they went picking the line.
