This is like a multi bet where all of the legs separately are probable but combined are less likely. Still, I'd say Lions 30+ is actually likely. Beams 35+ not big but with two goals and 130+ it's ok. Not sure I'd say even the whole thing is that big though. Like the others though.

Really? My thinking is Lions aren't gonna be as competitive without Rocky. Beams only just returned last week so probably isn't 100% yet. And exactly 2 goals is a tad specific :P

See what ftc says. If he doesn't think it's that big of a call, I'll do something else cause I don't think this is very likely haha

It's similar to what Big Mac called last week with Viney to beat Gaz in Kicks, Handballs, Marks, Contested Possies etc.
On their own, they aren't really big calls, but their combined 'weight' is pretty decent IMO.

Regarding GL's:
The first element, Lions beating Pies by 5 goals in itself probably doesn't constitute a big call, but Beams to get 35 & 2 goals is pretty big (ignoring the 130SC, because if the first two happen that's pretty much locked).

If I could use decimals, I'd say the first call would be worth 0.6~ and the second 1.4~ so I'd be willing to award 2 points if all elements come off.

Round 7 Wrap

SilverLion
"Sydney to finish with a score at least double Essendon's." - This was correct, but based on the form of the two teams, and that the Swans were at home, I'm going to be very harsh and say that this is not a big enough call to score - Sorry! (0)

Would've thought given how they just managed to beat Brisbane (who are 1 and 5), that it would be worth at least 1 point...

Anyways Round 8 Calls...

- Dangerfield to get 40 possessions but Adelaide to win on Friday night.
- Lions to win by 8 goals+
- Fremantle to beat Hawthorn
- St. Kilda to beat West Coast
- Max Gawn to get 150+ SC

LaHug

Ward, Coniglio, and Shaw to combine for 400+ in AF/DT
Buddy to kick the last goal of the game for the win (i.e. Swans down or tied before Buddy's goal then get the lead with his goal and win - behinds after this totally don't discount it)
Melbourne and Doggies to draw
Carlton to kick more goals in the first quarter than the rest of the game combined
Hawthorn to hold Fremantle scoreless (no goals, no behinds) for an entire quarter

BomberSam

Mitch McGovern will kick 4+ goals.
St. Kilda will beat West Coast by 30+ points.
Shannon Hurn will be West Coast's top SC scorer.
Goldstein will score 150+ SC points.
Stef Martin will score 150+ SC points.

T Dog

Carlton / Port play out a draw.
Tiges get up this week as their coach has stated "Finals is still their aim".
