AFL BETTING TIPS – GEELONG BOUNCE INTO AFL PRELIMINARY FINAL

It was a bounce performance under our Human Behaviour Model and we collected as the Cats did exactly that in he first of the two AFL Betting Tips Finals versus West Coast. We collected a nice result as we analysed Geelong bouncing hard off its loss to Collingwood the week prior coupled with the West Coast peak performance the week prior. That made the Cats a bet.

A big week for Geelong and West Coast

It had been a BIG week for both clubs, the Cats facing the public ire from their loss to the Pies a week earlier and holding a possible milestone of being the first side to win the minor premiership and be bundled out in straight sets. The defending premiers West Coast Eagles on the other had troubles of their own when their star forward Willie Rioli was provisionally suspended for what is allegedly substituting a urine sample in an ASADA drug test. This simply must have tested the team emotionally and adds a high risk element under the Human Behaviour Model.

Geelong fast out the blocks

The Cats got off to a brilliant start led by their inspirational skipper Joel Selwood. He set the tone of the night and losing this game was simply not an option to this club under his watch. It was one of the great leadership games of a finals series. Despite looking totally lost early the Eagles looked out of it down by 31 points early in Q2 then kicked a couple of goals to get the engine running. The Eagles led early in the final term but it seemed the energy they used to get back into the game was gone and Geelong surged away late to go on and run into the AFL Preliminary Final with a 20 point win.

Tomahawk, why, why, why!

Tom Hawkins can accept a one match ban for striking Will Schofield high off the footy. It is important to note that there is no extra penalty should the Cats challenge it so they are sure to. Hawkins out is a massive hole for Geelong, 3 goals per game and he would be a big plus in the AFL Preliminary Final against the Tigers. But don’t hold your breath as the Tomahawk is most likely watching on the sidelines after his brain fade.

GWS GIANTS AND BRISBANE AFL GAME OF THE YEARPUSH ON IN GAME OF THE YEAR

Our second AFL Betting Tips Final between Brisbane and GWS was the game of the year so far and it had everything. Fights breaking our routinely, 10 lead changes through the game and two match leading goals to either team in the last few minutes it was a cracker.

Stats show Brisbane, Defense shows GWS Giants

Brisbane failed to convert their dominance and the stats will show they dominated the ground position through the game. But the experienced Giants would not be denied as their defence stood up time and time again. In fact they conceded 19 inside 50’s to 7 in the final term yet still managed to scramble a win.

Brisbane will rue the missed opportunity with 61-44 inside 50’s as they failed to find a successful passage to goal. The GWS defense continued to intercept and this is on the back of the Lions missing early shots on goal.

Learning lesson for the Lions as Charlie is “babied”

Make no mistake this will be a big learning experience for them this year but being bundled out is straight sets will not sit well. The Lions have had a magnificent season As a side note to this game umpires need to umpire the game and not “parent” players. The umpire Ryan was threatening to pay a free kick against the Giants player for testing Charlie Camerons elbow that had been hyper extended  “touch his elbow again and ill pay a free kick”. You have to be joking don’t you! I don’t know where that is in the rule book but if Charlie is not fit, get off the ground and if he stays on he’s fair game. There were 54 free kicks paid in an over officiated final and Razor Ray along with Shaun Ryan have pretty much ensured they will not get a Grand Final appearance on the back of that effort.

AFL Betting Tips – big result for the Giants

Last weeks review we put out and recommended to subscribers that they take a saver play on GWS Giants in the AFL Premiership market. They were $13 and now tumble into $6.50 as a result of their win. Nice little saver bet although Brisbane going out does our Brisbane AFL Grand Final win bet.

It’s a significant win for the Giants who at their best can go all the way. But that game was a physical battering and it will take a lot of recovery to get themselves ready for Collingwood in another classic AFL Preliminary final at the MCG. The Giants have lost 2 of the last 3 Prelims so that will be burning in their guts. If they can physically back up it will be a ripper!
