0 & 9, so why are Tigers $1.87?

Winless after nine games, an embarrassing record loss to Geelong, the worst percentage, and fans climbing up the walls! Yet embattled 1000/1 rank outsider Richmond has opened a $1.87 favourite on Centrebet to beat Brisbane in the round 10 clash at the Telstra Dome on Saturday!

In fact, never in the history of AFL/VFL has a team at $1001.00 (1000/1) to win the flag gone into a club match as an odds-on favourite! “It’s staggering, but the writing could be on the wall that number 10 is the drought-breaker,” Centrebet’s Neil Evans said. “All Tigers are still in shock they let Essendon through the back door at the MCG when they had it won. But the Lions collapsed in the last quarter to Collingwood at the GABBA, and we feel Brisbane is inferior away from home.”

The Lions, who have blown from $51.00 to $126.00 in premiership betting in the past couple of weeks, have opened a narrow $1.91 outsider on Centrebet to win the game!

The AFL’s other winless team Melbourne, beaten in a heart-wrenching one-point thriller by the Kangaroos, has opened a $2.70 outsider against Adelaide at AAMI Stadium, while Geelong has opened at its shortest price all season - $1.31 to beat St Kilda ($3.40) at the Telstra Dome!

I reckon the tigers and demons have wasted their opportunities for a win and it'll have to wait till they meet in rd 11. One of them however may go winless for the year :shock:

Brisbane are rubbish that's why. Richmond are a very good chance to win IMO. I'll probably back the Lions one more time due to my 'never back Richmond' rule but jeez they were ordinary against the Pies last week. How many times do three defenders have to fly at the same time and giving up scoring shots do they need to work out it's not a great idea?
