Predictions and $100 Prize

Having Norwood 4th Favourite for the premiership at this stage would be a bit off the mark I would have thought?

Early days Scrappy, but did you invert your selections?

All jokes aside, who would have thought Norwood vs West would be 9th vs 10th and North vs Sturt game of the round almost half way through the season.

Thanks for quoting my predictions Rocket
I am a shocking tipster , for the 2nd year running
Lucky I dont frame markets for the bookies

Norwood and West have won the last 4 Premierships between them
You would not have thought that if you saw the 2 teams play against each other at the parade
Neither can win this years Premiership

Heres my predicted Minor Round finish

EG
SA
ST
AC
CD
GL
PA
NA
NW
WA

Been a bit of hype about SA/AC/ST so far , not that much about EG
EG are going well now , I expect them to have a good finish to the finals
CD are a bit under-rated
Those top 5 clubs can all beat other on any given day
GL + PA on their day can match the top 5
NA have improved , but not sufficiently to make finals
NW lack depth at the moment , can be safely written off
WA will win at least one game

I wouldn't write Norwood off with their injury list . Not sure about Centrals yet. West are done obviously and I don't think Port will be in the top 5. The rest can make it though.

Eagles the team to beat for me and South. Sturt will be around the mark but their Reserves are struggling so that assumes not much depth.Their best is good enough though.Adelaide will be strong but if injuries hit it won't help. Glenelg and North are greatly improved too and could push for a finals berth.
Fantastic season so far , except the crazy draw.

UBET Premiership odds

ST 3-25
EG 3-50
SA 4-50
AC 4-50
CD 8-00
PA 26-00
NW 26-00
GL 26-00
NA 61-00
WA 251-00


I am tipping EG for the flag
Finals experience, and the disappointment of the 2015 G/F loss could be a motivating factor

I dont think the Ubet crew have done their homework
There are 9 games left for West Adelaide
They can only finish on 9 wins
This years finalists will VERY LIKELY finish with a minimum of 11 wins

Even if they did make it with 9 wins , then they would have to win 4 finals as well
13 in a row is not $251-00  its about $9,000-00+

I love my redlegs mate , but they simply cant make finals
They would need to win almost every game from now on to make finals
If they manage to win more than 7 games at seasons, I would be very surprised
Its not Ben Warrens fault ,its just the way things have panned out

too lazy too work it out so who won ?

Scrappy's mid year predictions were just about spot on.

Unitab odds

EG $2-25
SA $3-50
ST $5-00
AR $5-00
CD $26-00

Adelaide Reserves are way too short
$5 on winning 4 games
They should be closer to $15 than $5

Staggering to think you could get $10 about West this time last year. Probably blew out by having Norwood and Port also in the 5, but for a team with the double chance secured and finals experience it was a great price.
