Talking Footy

Watching them the other night and last week against the Crows, it seems obvious that despite them progressing to the preliminary, they'll be knocked out by either the Crows or Power. Seriously take Judd out of that team and what do you have? Without umpires assisting them on Friday night, they be on the road this week and no doubt out of the finals by weeks end. Seriously overrated if you ask me. Mark my words, they are not capable of winning a flag in season 05.

Ha ha ha, jumping on the Power bandwagon now...after your prediction of the Kangaroos beating the so called Power from Port.....If anything the Swans will not make it past Geelong!

Something tells me that the swans are emotional cripples at the moment. Geelong must be rated as very, very good chances - what with bustling Barry Hall showing his true credentials when it counts.

He was a passenger on the weekend and I'm not talking about the Qantas flight either!!

You wanna bet Sydney beats Geelong? Comon Croc, I'm more than willing to take more of your money.

Hold on Beaussie - I've had an open invitation to you and KE for 2 weeks on here willing to back against the Swans making the Grand Final. If you've got some guts Beaussie, you'll take me on and back your team to make the Grand Final.

This offer is still open!

Look, you're the one that said Sydney's season is over after the loss on Friday night against the Eagles. I challenged you to a bet for this week and you've chickened out. Not to be unexpected I suppose after your last bet with me resulted in you losing $300.

Either take my offer for Sydney vs Geelong or STFU.

What would you like to wager? What odds are you giving?

How about the same bet we had last time? I'm willing to bet $300 that the Swans defeat Geelong. You up for it pea heart? Or still getting over being burnt last time you opened you big gob?

I want 5-4 (that's $2.25) with a few other conditions for payment (i.e. I want to be paid on Monday Morning)

Whatever. None of this 5-4 shit. $300 straight, take it or leave it. I'll understand if you don't have the balls to take up the offer. Who could blame you after the last wager we had.

Beaussie - I'll be backing Geelong to defeat the Swans this weekend.

Today, Unitab have them at $2.45 (www.tabonline.com.au) and SportingBet.com have them at $2.50. Do a bit of research if you want to back your team and the best you'll get is $1.68 - I'm offering you much better with instant payment!

Now, why would I be prepared to take even money when I can get 6-4? I'm also certain that these agencies will pay me, but with you it is dubious. However, I'm willing to take my chances at 5-4 because your money will feel sweeter, but I'm not a fool.

Take it son, they're great odds!

As per the thread starter here, are you prepared to back your judgement that the WEAGLES won't make the grand final? I'd like to back them to make it? Are you interested?

Me thinks Beaussie has a sudden dose of "yellow fever" and has scurried to consult his bankers (Commonwealth Bank Dollarmite Kiddies Account) on his financial position.

Very sad indeed.

I predict the top 3 placegetters in the footy tipping competitions are watching this thread with interest as it may determine whether they indeed get paid anything other than monopoly money!!

LOL. I made an offer for a wager and you refused. Those are the facts. I'm not willing to entertain any new offers you may have now. You've shown me you're not up to the challenge I put forward.

As for the tipping comp winners, they have nothing to worry about. As I've said numerous times, the prize money is safe and will be paid at the conclusion of the tipping comps. That is of course if I don't spend it all whilst in Melbourne at the GF. Nah just jokes guys. :P

Are you prepared to put your money where your mouth is about the Weagles not making the Grand Final Beaussie?
