    Great minds think alike - read up - I'm on the 1-39 for a unit and -23.5 for 2.
    Good stuff!

    I'm thinking people are pounding this match simply because they're excited to have footy to liven up their boring Thursday winter night. Can't see any other reason for it.

    Ray, that is about as cold as it gets during the day. That is like 12 degrees celcius. We are not used to cold over here in the West.

    Today is a bit mild in Melbourne but the other morning when I was crying across the street it was 39/4 Celcius. Froze my nards off. Heating's been going constantly all week.

    Same in Adelaide, never rains for long periods, overall it hardly ever rains, doesn't matter what the forecast is.

    Yeah. Despite that, I've laid off a bit on tonight's game. Subi drainage isn't brilliant. This weather is spooking me. I'm just picturing Eagles/Hawks from round 4. I've now got 1.5x on 1-39 and 2x on -23.5.

    If Eagles lose outright, I'll be filthy.

    Really, I thought it was cold and rainy all the time. Lived there for 12 years.

    Melb is the same all the time - shit, good, shit, good, shit, good. All approximately two hours apart.

    I don't see the Blues coming back. I think the Eagles could even cover the 1-39. If I can get a reasonable line (-39.5 or better at HT), I'm going to buy out of that one at HT...

    Got a feeling the 1-39 is going to get beat, blues have been hopeless so far. lucky to be only 26 behind right now.

    Remember they tend to rev it up in the 4th. But I haven't been watching yet so for all I know they're completely shithouse tonight.

    Mine too, lol.

    Cue two goals.

    I did this to the Pies on Monday as well

    Btw, I don't know what these commentators are on about. It didn't rain for 10 hours straight and hasn't been that wet today. Some big storms, but never for very long.

    Yeah I've been to both pre baby. Both were awesome but all it did was remind me of why I left my hometown

    But I was actually thinking of taking him right before Vegas if we're still here. He can see snow for the first time and I can appreciate the heat even more when we get to the Bash.

    You will be back here after the bash. You probably should of moved to the gold coast if you were looking for the aussie experience with little cold weather, but you probably been there too right?

    I think if you watch the footy show, you are going to come back here to live if you leave. Once you become a footy show person, you are aussie. You can't change.
