He might struggle with that, playing the Dees and all :P

Still, probably worth a 2

W.A footy goes large and right orf its collective faces as both Freeo and WC (away) get up.
S.A footy starts to eat it's own as both Port and Adelaide lose.
Pies get up in a boilover.

Hate to be the devil's advocate but the first one has multi odds of just $3.30 (West Coast are favourites)
The second one is already half done if you win your first one and don't think they should be allowed to overlap. That said, Gold Coast are at $12 so it's still big.

Third one is legit. Define boilover?

I see your point on the overlap. Though who is putting their hard earned on WC to win away from home? As for Freeo? Surely trhe Tiges will just split them open down the guts. Somebody must know something, somewhere and it has leaked out.   ;D  Will remove the West Aussie big call .

Pies to beat Geelong at all will be a boil over surely. Forget the odds that ever show up for the Pies. Sheer volume of Pies supporters punting on their team skews them significantly.

Yeah, I really like them with the WA one removed. Takes the second to a 3 pointer in my book.

Yeah what? Are these exacts or just more than? Viney 34+ is actually probable in my eyes.

Cheers Go Lions I'll change it to Mitch cops at least a 1 match suspension. You can always count on Mitch. I don't reckon he'll take a liking to getting belted by Melbourne.

Round 9 Wrap

Incorrect Calls

GoLions
"Mathieson to score 100+ in SC on debut" - Even 6 free kicks couldn't get #BEASTMODE to the ton
"Brisbane beat Melbourne by 30+" - Wishful thinking!
"Dangerfield <70 in SC" - Stayed low with an 86, but now below that 70 you mentioned
"Barlow is a late in for Freo, scores 110+ in SC" - Nope, didn't see Barlow out there!
"Suns beat the Crows by single digits" - Poor Suns, they are really struggling

LaHug
"Nick Riewoldt to score 150+ in AF/DT and SC" - Cracked the ton in both, but not the 150 this time
"Port to beat West Coast by 30+" - This game got pretty close, but the Eagles hung on
"Tom Mitchell and Luke Parker to combine for <150 in AF/DT" - Despite a tagging role from Tom, Parker prevented this one
"Taylor Adams to get the star on FF despite Collingwood losing" - Pendles snagged the star here, and the Pies got up!
"North to be leading by more at quarter time than at full time" - Unlike the Bombers game the previous earlier, North extended their lead throughout the game

T Dog
"W.A footy goes large and right orf its collective faces as both Freeo and WC (away) get up." - 0-9 for Ross' Dockers now  :-[
"S.A footy starts to eat it's own as both Port and Adelaide lose." - Big win for the Crows against the Suns!

Holz
"Nroo to go between 120 and 130 in DT" - Very close Holz! NRoo was just 10 points shy of your specified range
"Sloane to be the top scoring player in SC this week" - The Heater! Cracking 200 was the biggest by far for the week
"Gawn will go sub 85 in SC " - He heard you Holz! 167 from big Maxy
"Adelaide to win by 100+" - A big win, but they couldn't crack the 100 point margin
"Barlow to be a late in and outscore Zorko in SC" - Nope, no sign of Barlow!

HappyDEZ
"Christiansen (Lions) gets a groggy symbol on FF courtesy of Viney, Tyson, Oliver or friendly fire." - No groggy icon this week!
"One of LeCras or Shuey goes sub 60 in DT." - Lecras finished on 60! The bare minimum to make this Big Call a fail
"Mitch (Robinson) cops at least a 1 match suspension" - Nope, Mitch is all clear to come out and play next week
"KK is the only Sun to break 90 DT." - KK finished with 88DT and there were a few team mates of his over 90
"Dees at least triple their half time lead." - Dees had a solid lead at the Half Time Break, which they didn't triple in the second half

Big Mac
"Jesse Hogan 7 goals" - Big Jesse finished with 5.1 - not quite the 7 you were looking for!
"Viney 34 disposals" - Viney was quiet with just 19 touches
"Ben Kennedy 3 goals" - Only the 1 goal for BenKen
"Bernie Vince 8 rebound 50s" - According to the AFL Website, Bernie had 0 R50s!
"Keays 2 goals" - 1.2 for Keays! Almost!

Call of the Week
"Pies get up in a boilover." - T Dog

Final Word
A shocking week for Big Calls!
T Dog was the only person to make a correct call this week, and to make up for everyone else's failure, he made it a Massive Call! The Pies getting up have given us the breakout leader I've been looking for, with T Dog leading HappyDEZ by 3 points on the back of that very call. Can anybody catch T Dog now?

SilverLion

Forgot to put in my calls for last week, shattered, because one of them was going to be for Collingwood to beat Geelong...

Anyways, Round 10 Predictions:

Goldy to get injured againsr and miss at least the next two weeks. (Sorry its just that I finally traded him in, and with my luck this is likely to happen).

Zorko to go below 100 SC for the first time this year.

Brisbane to beat Hawthorn.

Max Gawn to get his SC breakeven.

Ablett to be back to his best, scoring 150+ in SC.

SydneyRox

Round 10

Sydney to win by 10+ goals
Sydney to keep North goalless for 2 quarters
Heath Shaw to be first person to go back to back SC 200+
Freo to win by more than double saints score
Lions to beat Hawks
