OFFICIAL ODDS
GEELONG 2/1
with the rumour of oil, these guys firm right up, lets hope they don't firm up to the point they bring on another fabulous loss, you know the loss "the loss you just had to have" kind. rumour has it big matty robbo, is just waiting to horizontally position a few characters who were protected species at his last appearance.
SUNRAYSIA 3/1
these guys have 2 chances left to win a country cup before rob moves onto senior shield, this year being one, and next year being the other when i go back to renew old friendships, i honestly believe this motivation could be enough to get them over the post this year
BENDIGO 5/1
home ground advantage is a plus, and well they know the conditions better than anyone, you just think what they tell you, and these guys will definately walk out with a medal around their necks, rumour has it that the coach has threatened the out with the old and in with the new policy, but will this be enough to motivate people who feel as though they are being pushed aside
COLAC 7/1
lead by that left handed guy, never can remember his name, these guys will go ok, defending champs at bendigo is always comforting when going back to hostile territory. but will it be enough
SHEPPARTON 10/1
easing right out, it seems the priority for these guys, has been trying to work out where there coach is, who else is he coaching, is kevvy's wife on the phone to me, or whether his son is still chasing after a better role model (ME), who's hamma dating this week, to be honest these guys are still in a trance, lets call it the "emerson curse" and they are still living in the past, round 3 will be a reality check for these guys.
WARRNAMBOOL 15/1
could this be the last appearance from the original hosts of this great tournament, so much sentimental value can be placed on these guys, but the important question is, will they milk this for whats its worth??? sometimes if you know you mightn't be doing something again, you give a super human performance, this is definately the time to give it.
ALBURY 25/1
2 words "ANDREW" and "CRAIG"............ we're not worthy, we're not worthy, yes as you see, the bookies favourite bowler is always enough, to double the odds of any team he is in, just his presence alone, slipping into 5, giving a few young guys a firm touching up in such a graceful manner, is usually enough, for his fellow team mates to admire and try to emulate.
LATROBE VALLEY 40/1
all i got to say is, lucky you's aren't in at 50's, with all this rule changing etc etc, personally i can't see what the fuss is anyway, you break every rule regardless, why should this year be any different. with robs comment of the possibility of jason not coming home and webby getting his nose broken by an errant woza hand slap, and well if webby's nose is a target, you'd have to think millsy will be very vigillant as well in the players area. i think these guys will be on edge all weekend, and this will hinder their performance
BALLARAT, WODONGA & SALE 100/1
good luck guys,
