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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
