Saints huge favourites

[StNoodles]

Cannot believe the odds I just saw on Betfair.

Saints: 1.45
Freo: 3.15

If you want to hedge your emotional investment with financial, it's very tempting.

[Con Gorozidis]

pretty weird.
id have thought slight home ground advantage to us. maybe a 1.90 to 2.10 kind of bet.
will definitely be a close game. cant see anyone blowing it open .

Perhaps that's a prediction of the score.

[Con Gorozidis]

you would have to chuck a 50 on the dockers with those odds.

[Teflon]

Stuff it. I'm confident we'll win by 5gs

[Thinline]

Incredible odds. Freo are a very strong end to end side who are now coached by a bloke who knows how to win.

Mind you they were average for all but a qr v Swans on the road and they hardly dominated Brisbane.

I reckon we're better than evens, but if we get to 70 pts in the course of winning I'll be amazed. 2hrs of boring arm wrestling. Don't believe me then subject yourself to half an hour of Freo's last game...

Just how long did it take our team to be able to play Lyon's game plan with any competence? Freo will be playing their 4th.

It's a good point. We went backwards to go forwards under Ross.

[ralphsmith]

we will kill freo

[SainterK]

Since last time we played them, heaps has changed, for both teams.

Not sure how they can come to any real conclusions.

I still think Saints will win easily.

[jays]

wow ill take that

Correct. If last week's form was an indicator Freo are is massive trouble.

We should win by plenty. Up to 10 goals. At least 6 IMO.

Our hunger and pressure against the Dogs was top 4 standard.

[whiskers3614]

As stated yesterday we are still $7 on Betfair to make top 4.
Sorry my account is in penury!

i'm one and one so far this year - made money on port, lost some on the dogs. still ahead overall and highly likely to take freo at $3+.

Wait till the thought police get hold of you!
If feeling sorry for Luke Ball makes one a dubious supporter, where does that leave someone backing Lyon's Shockers against us?

to be honest, i'm not a massive one for caring about what random people on the internet think, so it's unlikely to affect me that much.

[vacuous space]

Has Fremantle ever beat us at Docklands?

[bergholt]

Has Fremantle ever beat us at Docklands?

good question.

no, they haven't. they've only beaten us twice away from wa - once at waverley in 95, once at york park in 2006. (i think we all remember that game.)

docklands games:

2011 R20 - 41 points
2010 R4 - 15 points
2009 R4 - 83 points
2008 R13 - 8 points
2007 R20 - 30 points
2004 R22 - 29 points

I think we're a HUGE chance too! GO SAINTERS!!!

[Enrico_Misso]

pretty weird.
id have thought slight home ground advantage to us. maybe a 1.90 to 2.10 kind of bet.
will definitely be a close game. cant see anyone blowing it open .

Con that would be in a zero commission bet.

More like 1.60 to 1.80 so Centrebet is always the winner!

i actually do understand that. i was taking out commission and giving a basic raw odds.
im not making a profit off saintsational posts

hope so! and one lesson is i have learnt is not to bet against sainterk.
seems they have quite a few injuries and their record at etihad stinks.
but on raw team ability i think we are quite even.

Got sick of waiting for you fellas to do something about it so scunned out the Visa and launched into Saints for top 4.
Not that sure we can make it but if we beat Dockers and Demons I'm pretty sure I'll be about to lay off at much lighter odds.
Lose tomorrow and I will be eating no name baked beans and stale toast for a while!
