Help Tech with his AFL footy picks---PLEASE!!!

[tech/a]

Posted this on another thread.

Kenna's.
I gotta tell you I'm damned hopeless!
Ive had a standing bet for 6 yrs with the organiser of a footy pools here and EVERY year I lose!!
This year I'm doing just the same--losing I'm 47th out of 65.
My Secretary---an American who has no idea about AFL is 3rd!!!

And EVERY week I lose the $5 side bet with her!!

So I'm going to start a thread "Help Tech with his footy tips".

So here it is.
Ill post my tips for each week and would appreciate the input!
I gotta beat this guy at least once! I'll take any help I can get.

I'll try and help you out tech. I've been averaging about 6 so far this season. So hopefully that form can continue and I can help you spank your coworkers

Hi Tech

I'll help if I can but you should be good at this - just apply the same principles as share trading :

1. Take the emotion out of it. Don't play favourites.

2. Run the ruler over the form. Find your lines of support and resistance.

Regards

Hi Tech,

Have you tried picking them on the form of the football team and not the forms of the cheer leaders ?

 

[Realist]

Not that I like gAyFL but.

This week is easy..

Saints
Essendon
WEagles
Swans
Adelaide
Freo
Port
Geelong

Tech, you should go The Age website and then to the footy section. All the 'experts' give their tips and then they make an average out of it. Just go with the average? Good luck!

Why the hell would you pick freo? (I'm a freo supporter)

The same with Geelong. They've been very ordinary, and Richmond were very competitive againt West Coast, wont be far away. Geelong have a habit of losing to the very bottom side over the years...

I'm with you Chops. Tipping Richmond for the upset & Brisbane to beat Freo, only because its over in Brissy and Freo don't travel very well.

Got nothing to do with not travelling very well, they just don't play very well.

Great I NEED upsets.
Good stuff I'll alter my tips.!!

 

[constable]

Bit surprised Tech you didnt pick essendon after the long break since anzac day and Port adelaide have had a woeful track record against melbourne who also have Neitz coming back into the side. Bit of food for thought anyway!!

Think Port are travelling well enough to Knock off Melbourne they have a voodoo to beat.
Essendon. Yes understand and A difficult one.Think They are struggling a bit and Hawthorn again have some promise---the 50/50 pick of the round.

So you can bet with a 50/50 pick there is a 90% chance I'll get it wrong!!!
