Cats and Tigers unbackable !
Can anyone challenge the Geelong Football Club and the Richmond Football Club for the honours of Premiership and Wooden Spoon respectively? Don’t you just love this time of year in the AFL world, I mean really how can we give an accurate answer to who will win the flag in 2008. At best we give our opinions and read into them what you will. There is not much to talk about other than that at this time of year. If you go on what you read in the main stream media during the pre seasons every team is going to finish in the eight and if you follow one of the AFL Football Forums, every team is going to win the flag.

I may as well join into the debate because it is always a good discussion topic and raises a lot of passionate talk. Well the Cats are odds on at the moment paying $3.20 for the flag with Collingwood, Fremantle, Port Adelaide and Hawthorn the next in line. I have already expressed by opinion
about who I think is most likely to challenge the Cats in 2008 and I think the Pies will give Geelong a run for their money. I can’t really believe that Fremantle are so heavily backed I just can’t see them being anywhere near the top five or six in the comp. They alway promise a lot Fremantle but don’t deliver much, if you are in a footy tipping competition they are the most frustrating team to try and tip! I personally think that they will struggle to make the eight let alone win the flag.
I agree with Melbourne being favourites for the Wooden Spoon, they are in for a very long year I think the Demons and it will be very interesting to see how their fans react during the year. Essendon probably deserve to be up the top end of the betting in terms of the wooden spoon but I think you might find they will surprise a few this year and may even sneak into the eight.
Well my opinion for flag favourites and wooden spoon is Collingwood for the flag and Melbourne for the wooden spoon.
Post your comment below and give the readers here at AFL Footy Blog your opinion on the Flag and Wooden Spoon.
Footy is a funny game and I know that Clement and Buckley missed most of the year last year anyway, but I think it will be interesting to see how they do with out them.
As long as Melbourne doesn’t have many injuries they won’t be near the bottom again. Tigers have to be favourites for the Spoon.
Its hard to go past the Cats for the Flag. As a Hawks fan I was surprised to see that the Hawks are equal second favourite.
Happy New year to you.
