Single bet as follows:

West Coast to defeat Adelaide @ 2.77

Essendon to defeat Melbourne @ 1.94

Hawthorn at the line (19.5 points) @ 1.91

The reasoning:

West Coast at home can never be discounted and what better time to win than against Adelaide. Both teams have long

injury lists and with coach John Worsfold under the pump from the West Australian media he will expect his side to bring home the 4 points. Adelaide Are two games outside the 8 and have despite some solid performances I can’t see much inspiration for them to win this game.

After last weeks abhorrent performance the Bombers will be under no illusion from coach Matthew Knights, no one is immune from being dropped and everybody is playing for their spot in the team, as Mark Williams will testify. The Bombers need a win here to have any real hope of making the finals and with the Demons slowing down of late, the Bombers should have a comfortable win here.

For their last several games the Hawks have resembled the premiership winning side of 2008, their endeavor at the ball, leadership and forward line structure have all seemed click once again. While the Cats have set the benchmark for the last 3 seasons it’s hard to maintain the enthusiasm and momentum on a regular basis. While I think the Hawks are a real chance to win this game the line at 19.5 points should be enough to get them over the line.
