2 different stories coming into tonights derby, Melbourne playing their 7th game in 15 days including trips to Qld, NSW and NZ, South however havent played for a over a fortnight, this might be a disadvantage but cant see Gorj letting them take it easy, in what should be a classic game Im happy to take the points here in a game which could well be decided by a basket

South Dragons +2.5
1.65 @ $1.95

South needed the hit out on Monday and will enjoy the challenge of the trip over the ditch to take on an inconsistent Breakers outfit whose confidence must be low

South +2
2.1 @ $1.95

Also this prop stands out, like the way Ingles is playing -

Ingles v Foreman Most points
Ingles 1.05 @ $1.95

This line again seems overly generous -

Hawks/Melbourne Under 204
1.65 @ $1.92

Sorry for the lack of posts this week guys, have had a couple of plays but havent had access to this site (they've blocked footytrends at work) and had no net at home. Given both plays (Perth line and Breakers under) were winners, I'm tempted to stay silent and not risk jinxing myself. We'll put it to the test tonight.

2* Cairns +12.5
The last ever North Queensland derby and both teams love these matches. Cairns come in with a good formline having won 3 of their last 4 games including a win in Perth and a home win against Adelaide. In their past 20 games, the Snakes have only conceded a triple figure score 5 times and they have the lowest scoring totals of any team in the league. With all the trash being talked and final bragging rights up for grabs, I'm looking for a low scoring grind here and with the low totals, that 12.5 is even more valuable.

Considering the Snakes/Crocs under, Perth line and Perth under. The under machine that is the Sydney Spirit is tempting as always (they've only broken 178 once in their last 6 games, 14-4 to the under since Low/Kaz left). Will watch the movements.

By the way, the Tigers over last night broke a 10 games streak to the under. The under is going at 57.8% this year (76-56).

always good to see your on the same side as me D

Cairns +12.5
1.10 @ $1.91

Cairns/Crocs Under 191.5
1.65 @ $1.91

Other 2 games are too hard for me but am tempted by the under in the Blaze/Spirit game

2* Crocs/Taipans Under 191.5

Adding this for the reasons mentioned above. It's nice to agree on the games for a change Dutch. I ended up going Perth and Under as well in the other game but forgot to post them before they jumped. Things looking ok early.
