Glen AtwellAFL Round 14 Tips Best Bets
July 3rd 2009 02:21
When Round 1 of the 2009 AFL Premiership Season bounced down way back in March, a few footy freaks had already circled July 6 in their sporting calendar.
No, not for the Wimbledon men's final... and definitely not for the replay of women's singles final, oh no... It was Geelong vs St Kilda.
No-one expected the Saints to be 14-0, and few thought Geelong may drop a game or two along the way, but both remain undefeated and this Sunday's showdown is sold out.
Geelong are $1.63, the Saints $2.55. I think Geelong will win, probably by 20-odd points in the end.
Sport Talk's Best Bet of the Round is Geelong to beat St Kilda, straight out, at $1.63.
There, I got it off my chest. The Cats will slam the Saints on Sunday, and march on to the 2009 AFL Premiership.
Have people forgotten how angry Geelong was at losing last year's flag to the hangover Hawks? The Cats were seething, and will stop at nothing this year to take the top prize.
Geelong will not enter another game this season at odds of $1.64, so load up now and take the cake. Back them for the flag today, and lay off for a profit on Monday.
Sunday's game can, and the odds on offer, can set your book up for the rest of the season. Get on now.
Looking at other games, I'm backing Essendon 42.5 against Collingwood at $1.25 tonight at the MCG. I had the same bet on Essendon against Carlton last week at $1.30 and laid off at half time at $1.01. I'll take the same tactic into tonight's game.
McVeigh is a big blow for the Bombers, but the return of McPhee, who is itching to play well, will cushion the impact.
The Pies will gamble on playing Pendlebury, a huge mistake in my eyes. It will be wet, hard going and tough. One dive across his bad knee and it may be season over for Scott.
Back to Sunday, Fremantle will account for Carlton at odds of $2.34. Back them at the line just to be sure. The Blues won't recover from the belting they got from Essendon last week, and the Dockers can smell an easy win at home.
Ratten has swung the axe this week at Princes Park, and Carlton is much worse off without Stevens.
Just quickly:
Adelaide is value at $1.30 to beat Richmond
Melbourne should beat West Coast on Saturday, the $2.06 on the Demons is generous
Good luck this week.
