DBJ Rising Star Nom with 25+ touches

Bulldogs by 50+

[fanTCfool]

The one week T Dog doesn't pick Freo to win might be the week they get on the board! Could be a sign folks...
Entries close 7:50pm tonight!

[GoLions]

Danger + Selwood > BCrouch+MCrouch+Sloane in SC tonight
Swans 100 +
Callum Mills 25+ and rising star nom
Giants to win by more than Eagles
Hiscox kicks 3 goals

Is that really a big call? I'd back the Saints to be a lot more competitive than the Suns, and the Giants are just as good as the Eagles imo

Danger + Selwood > BCrouch+MCrouch+Sloane in SC tonight

It's not at all imo. Neither is the first one. I'm projecting 130+ for both Danger and Selwood. Would hardly be shocked if Crouch+Crouch+Sloane was < 270ish

[GoLions]

Dangerfield doesn't get booed against the Crows (gotta be a 3-pointer here)

You should win the whole game if this happens haha

Didn't hear a single boo!

Of course, I had my TV on mute though.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TIGGSSSS  ;D ;D

[T Dog]

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

So close to a 100 % big call this week  ::)

[LaHug]

Ward, Coniglio, and Shaw to combine for 400+ in AF/DT 324 - not even close
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) There was a game winning goal but yay that it wasn't Buddy!
Melbourne and Doggies to draw Nope!
Carlton to kick more goals in the first quarter than the rest of the game combined 3-11, not even close
Hawthorn to hold Fremantle scoreless (no goals, no behinds) for an entire quarter 2 points in the third quarter - so close! If only I'd picked Brisbane instead.

0/5 this week

[Holz]

Mason Wood kicks 4+ Goals
Westhoff outscores Hall by 25+ SC Points. (50 point turnaround in averages)
Jacob Hopper outscores Clayton Oliver, Callum Mills, Christian Petracca, Caleb Daniel, Darcy Parish and Lachie Weller.
Essendon beat North and Goldy goes sub 100Sc (please dont be true)
Dusty martin outscores Parker, Hanners, Buddy, Mitchell, JPK despite getting pumped by 30+ points.

1.Kicked 1 and got injured
2. hall only went 84 and hoff was on 67 at half time but somehow only managed 80
3. Hopper a big 106, Parish was the next best with 79. I feel this was a pretty big call
4. thankfully wrong on both counts
5. Dmart was ok but hanners was better. Also they won so wrong on 2 counts.

[T Dog]

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.
