Aussie rules grand final 10/2 12:30am espn2

big joe 1212 · 09-30-10, 08:31 PM

i would bet, but it would be like playing baccarat....don't know if I'm winning or losing!

I think Saints did well to come back and draw, but couple of tired possibly not fully boys in their team (Dal Santo & Gram).

Pies have the kicking yips, can't kick a goal for shit and their midfielders were down on form. I think they'll pick it up again.

Absolutely hate both teams, but i think the Pies will cover that line.

Cobra Kai · 09-30-10, 10:26 PM

Agree, Collingwood should cover. It was their game to loose last week, I don't think they'll make the same mistake this time.

Rematch of last week's DRAW IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP

St. Kilda Saints +10.5 ML +150
Collingwood Magpipes -10.5 ML -170

An EXTREMELY entertaining sport to watch, most definitely to bet.

Are the Saints drained from nearly winning and will now succumb to Magpipes after blowing their best shot to win??

Domestic, shari, bogbat, other aussies: tune in with insights.

It's MagPIES btw, a type of bird. Not some sort of bagpipe.

camel · 09-30-10, 10:32 PM

LOL... magpipe.

Sunde91 · 10-01-10, 04:14 PM

About 7 hours....

Reload · 10-01-10, 07:13 PM

I'm really looking forward to it!

shari91 · 10-01-10, 07:13 PM

The Saints with the points for me. Best of luck everyone.

Slim · 10-01-10, 08:48 PM

A lot of books don't have lines for this game. Hello its on ESPN. Bodog, Betjam and Matchbook don't have lines.

. I took COLLINGWOOD -170. They should've had the game last week and this week I expect them finish the job.

Would have liked to see this on more boards myself, Slim!

Sunde91 · 10-01-10, 09:17 PM

I am still leaning on THE PIPES.

I think it's reasonable to think the Saints will find it tougher to bounce back after they blew their shot to win as a 16 point dog last week.

Who has insights???

I don't agree with that line of reasoning. If we're talking about it being difficult to bounce back psychologically, you could also make a case that the Pies could be screwy because they pissed the game away after leading all the way through until there were 9 minutes or so left in the 4th. As it's called here - they were inflicted with yet another case of the famous Colliwobbles where the Pies choke when they have a chance to win.

If anything, I'd think that being able to come back after trailing the whole game gives the Saints the confidence to know that they can beat the Pies and as their coach said this week - they had 2 things to work on as far as improving their game from last Saturday. Now that they've had an extra week to perfect their game and tailor it even more to the Pies style, they'll be that much more prepared to do what they need to in order to win.

Just my thoughts anyway. I think, and hope it'll be a close one again regardless of who wins.

pico · 10-01-10, 09:40 PM

i am rooting for the saints

Ace_of_Spades · 10-01-10, 09:44 PM

Taken the over.

WillC · 10-01-10, 10:31 PM

Should be a fantastic atmosphere!

Everyone I know is going for the Saints. As much as I want to bet with my heart, head is telling me the Pies will get over the line today.
another pro collingwood crowd again?, Swan, Cloke and Pendles will be keen to redeem themselves not to mention the valuable experience of gf day.

Collingwood 1-39 or Either team under 24.5

Ace_of_Spades · 10-01-10, 10:44 PM

Everyone seems to like the Saints. I was thinking quite the opposite. I though Collingwood might stroll in and beat the shit out of the Saints now.

Sunde91 · 10-01-10, 11:05 PM

WAIT, so Saints are the "public side"??

Ace_of_Spades · 10-01-10, 11:09 PM

The +10.5 has been hammered.

Ace_of_Spades · 10-01-10, 11:09 PM

Apparently everyone had to pay again for tickets to see this game. Thats disgraceful. I hope no one shows up.

Sunde91 · 10-01-10, 11:10 PM

COLLINGWOOD MAGPIPES -10.5 for 1 unit

First Aussie Rules Bet

Late night action, entertaining sport, grand final..what the fuk else do you want?

Time to touch up on the rules on wiki

Ace_of_Spades · 10-01-10, 11:19 PM

The "biggest" bookmaker in Aussieland, the TAB is were that line had been hammered.

shari91 · 10-01-10, 11:24 PM

Yesterday on Sportingbet there was a $250k and a $200k bet on the Saints ML. I'm hoping for my sake these people have as much sense as they do cash.

shari91 · 10-01-10, 11:29 PM

And another one for 100k just came in for the Saints ML. Bloody hell!!

Reno Paul · 10-01-10, 11:30 PM

Looking forward to watching this late niter before the Ryder Cup starts.

Ace_of_Spades · 10-01-10, 11:53 PM

What a block.

Ace_of_Spades · 10-01-10, 11:54 PM

Saints need more players upfront, Nick can't do it alone.

Absolutely amazing block! What a deflating moment for the Saints.

Ace_of_Spades · 10-02-10, 12:06 AM

Saints need a plan B.

Gilbert needs to start passing the damn ball instead of trying to kick goals. Del Santo was right beside him ffs.

shari91 · 10-02-10, 12:17 AM

Mother f'n Gilbert again.

Sunde91 · 10-02-10, 12:47 AM

Good start and excellent execution from the pipes, keep it up

Worried the Saints will start converting all those close behinds to goals though

TwoWays · 10-02-10, 12:51 AM

It doesn't work that way Sundae. You don't get mulligans. The Pies will make adjustments as well, and will take better advantage of those inside 50's missed in the first half.

Sunde91 · 10-02-10, 12:56 AM

27 point lead and they're -29.5 at the half for the game...will probably be content, but this seems like a good middle opportunity? The Saints came back down 24 last week? Books really anticipating wood keeps the pressure on.

Ace_of_Spades · 10-02-10, 12:59 AM

Some how i don't see the Saints coming back. They can't get anything going and where the hell is Milne?
