  1. Youngman JE Harding

    "Limited skill set" :lol:
     
  2. Mousey AJ Son

    Well, what does he do at an elite level?

    Run, kick short-medium, has a good footy IQ...

    What doesn't he do?

    Mark, kick long, he's short, doesn't win contested ball, relatively poor tackler



    Those traits are valuable and he uses them well, he's not well rounded at all though, not at this stage of his career.

    Think the truth is in the middle. Harvey is a limited player I agree and I think the North fellas are overrating Boomer as a package.

    But I also think Mousey's underrating Boomer's footskills.

    He's no Levi Casboult.
     
  5. Harps ZAF MacDonald

    Boomer can take a contested grab though.

    Attempts to predict the leader of the Brownlow from each club:

    Adelaide: Dangerfield
    Brisbane Lions: Rockliff (Hanley discounting suspended players)
    Carlton: Gibbs
    Collingwood: Pendlebury
    Essendon: Heppell
    Fremantle: Fyfe (Mundy discounting suspended players)
    Geelong: Selwood
    Gold Coast: Ablett
    Greater Western Sydney: Ward
    Hawthorn: Hodge
    Melbourne: Jones
    North Melbourne: Harvey
    Port Adelaide: Boak
    Richmond: Martin
    St Kilda: Riewoldt
    Sydney: Kennedy
    West Coast: Priddis
    Western Bulldogs: Liberatore

    Adelaide, Hawthorn, North, Port and Richmond are the ones I'm most unconfident on.

    Gray each way and gray to win port are big, big, big value bets ATM.

    Tyson for Melbourne is a big one too.
     
  9. MASTERS S Masters

    chucking 10-20 on Lewis, paying $31 on sportsbet
     
  10. Skippos SM Morgan

    Got on Gray midseason but put more money on him on wednesday night at 34

    article ran in the paper that next day saying he's a shot...in to 21 by thurs arvo

    pre game was 17

    now he's 13

    fucking lol at how the media influence odds

    that said I'll take 9.00 for gray to place any day. only regret is not putting more on.
     
  11. Mousey AJ Son

    Of course the media influence the betting market... Odds represent who's getting the most money bet on them. An article in the paper is probably the most significant way to change the odds as the majority of the population will read it.

    So many people constantly sucked in by it as well.
     
  13. Skippos SM Morgan

    Oh yeah I know

    I'm just amazed at the amount of people who buy in to the media hype so easy

    First hep now gray

    Got on him 3 weeks ago at like 3.25 winning
     
  15. Stormer BH Borisc

    Fuck I was too slow.
     
  16. Skippos SM Morgan

    too slow on what?
     
  17. MASTERS S Masters

    Got on my man Selwood at $8 , he will win it
     
  18. Stormer BH Borisc

    I did my count and I have Brodie Smith winning Adelaide. Not to say that it'll happen but I believe it will be more likely than the 16.00 odds he currently has
     
  19. jimmy_c8 MC James

    Jordan Lewis and Deledio will come home pretty strong as well I reckon
     
  20. Skippos SM Morgan

    I've got Ward on 13 and Tyson on 15, Theo. Goddard on 10 though.
