I tipped against us as well .. the numbers just don't support a win for us out west, and the worst number of all was on Skytab last night: we were $3.80 .. but please, boys, please - prove me wrong: if I get 7 this week I'll be happy!
Are you kidding, that's the best number!!
If you include the two practice match wins one against the dogs (competition darlings after round 1) which was reportedly played at a high standard, then we've won our last three starts comfortably against good opposition. If we had kicked even half the easy shots we missed last week we would have won by about 7-10 goals.
Contrast that to Freo who were 50+ down at one point against the Hawks before going onto to have a flattering loss and I reckon we're way over the odds.
Whitnall, Lappin, French, Stevems. Fev ... all of our guns are fit and in good form. The young guys are starting to stand up in Waite, Simmo, Walker. Betts is literally on fire.
Freo has Pavlich underdone, Polak on goofballs in the reserves, seniors players getting dropped due to external factors (media/supporter pressure) as much as their form ....
Sooner or later we will win out West and it has never looked more likely than this weekend. So get on board kiddies. My tip is blues by 20-40 points which is paying a lazy $9.
Go Blues
