And this is why I love Aussie Rules football. It carries you through the dull sports betting days between the end of March Madness and the beginning of the American football season, ending before things start heating up over here. It’s timing is perfect.
So here we are with the Grand Final set for Friday night, 12:30am Eastern time. My birthday always falls around the date of the Grand Final (though the AFL is looking to add a bye week in before the Grand Final which would RUIN EVERYTHING), so I like to smoke a brisket that night and watch the Australian equivalent of the Super Bowl (I’m pretending rugby and cricket don’t exist to help drive my own narrative).
We hit at a 62% clip this season and that has largely carried over into the postseason, so let’s cap this thing off with a couple more plays as a cherry on top of a great year.
Geelong -12.5
Geelong/Brisbane o170.5
I’ve got the cats by 30 and the total closer to 190.
And remember, you should be able to watch the Grand Final on Fox Sports! Look it up! It’s a blast!
Thanks for following along this season.
P.S. - Just in case you’re tailing my women’s plays, I’ve give you those below. Middling success so far…
Hawthorn +7.5
Melbourne -38.5
For smaller units, I’m taking flyers on:
St. Kilda +0.5
Sydney +10.5
West Coast -9.5
Thanks Al!
