G'day Brettels, looking forward to this thread in 2012. WCE and Geelong are pretty much an auto-play at those odds for R1, and I expect those lines to drop to more like $1.50-$1.60 before kick-off. I think Freo fans are in for some early disappointment, Lyon is so defensively orientated - part of why I don't mind seeing him going from my Saints - that it'll take some time for the Dockers to adjust to his style.

As for GWS, well their games will be basically unbettable until at least 5-6 rounds in, interested to see what they get their team totals set at - I think the under there will be the only thing I'll look at.

I actually quite like the NAB cup and I think it gives more indicators to R1 and the whole season (e.g. WCE in 2011) than what others do - at this stage I'll take any bloody football!

I'm interested to see what the books do with GWS overs in the first month. I think they will get the spread right after last year, but I think the over will still be good. In the first 10 games, the Suns went under 200 once. I think the highest i saw ANY total last year was about 206 (richmond/essendon??). Thats from memory though, so i could well be wrong, but it doesn't get much higher than that.

They probably won't be stupidly high because they'll be expecting GWS to score like 15 points.

NAB cup starts feb. 17 ..... NAB grand final is March 17

Round 1 premiership season starts with GWS introduction on 24th of march, then the next weekend has the rest of the games.

Didn't geelong score more than that themselves against melbourne last year. 206 was beaten as a total in alot of games.

no matter what the line is auto betting hawks > pies first round and the ml

west coast also seems too easy for first round - if they have a strong squad first round they could be an easy play

i also support freo, i'm a member i go to every home game - i'm going to put 10 units on them to make the 8 at -110

new coach, defensively minded, hopefully a healthy lineup, i think lyon will be smarter than harvey and we should have a strong enough line up to finish the year much stronger than last, i also think the new recruits and clarke/sandi combo is going to be deadly i hope they use them the same way westcoast use nic/cox

would love to hear your thoughts on freo if you guys have any!

Hey Brettels.

I haven't even looked at a single thing AFL yet. You are miles ahead of me.

Whatever the preseason comp is has to be at least 6 weeks away right?? Start of March?

I usually don't bet the pre-season and I'll use that to start really getting ready for the season.
