Three More: It's Getting to be a Habit

The Line Redux Fund has so far this season acted with restraint and discernment. This week we've more evidence of that first characteristic; let's hope we also witness more of the second.

All of which is a cryptic way to introduce the fact that we've three line bets this weekend:

• Brisbane, giving Collingwood 9.5 points start on Friday night at the Gabba
• Sydney, receiving 8.5 points start from Carlton on Saturday afternoon at the SCG
• Hawthorn, giving Port Adelaide 23.5 points start on Saturday at the G

The latter two of these bets represent our 2nd bets on Hawthorn and on Sydney (both of the previous bets were winners). 

Moving next to tipping, we have:

• Unanimous support for the Lions over Collingwood, though ELO has only a 3 point margin, making this its Game of the Round
• Carlton tipped 11-2 over Sydney
• Port Adelaide tipped 9-4 over the Hawks, with the 9 including all the top-ranked tipsters bar BKB
• Unanimous support for St Kilda and the prediction of a blowout by BKB, Chi and ELO
• Geelong tipped 11-2 over Adelaide
• Essendon tipped 9-4 over the Roos, with the 9 once again including all the top-ranked tipsters bar BKB, and Chi tipping the Roos but by only a point, making this his Game of the Round
• Melbourne tipped 7-6 over Richmond, with Easily Impressed II the only top-ranked tipster siding with the Tigers and even then only doing so because they were more lightly flogged last weekend than were the Dees
• The Western Bulldogs tipped 11-2 over West Coast

(Note that we're once again waiting for the line market to go up for one game. I'll include the details in Monday's results.)
