Totally rigged Dally M’s. How the fcuk Tedesco wins the Dally M if not for blatant rigging, they just want to retain at least this stupid award in SHITney. Screw you.

The way the award is determined has always been a joke tbh. 2023 was a prime example, there's no way in hell that Ponga had a better year than Johnson...he just had a great run of games in a dogshit side and therefore got all the points. I'm not unhappy with Teddy getting it this year though, I can't really think of anyone who's been consistently better the whole year beyond maybe Haas. Given the way the award is calculated though, Walsh, Staggs etc would have all been taking points off him towards the end of the season. Which, again, brings us back to how flawed the system is IMO.

Betr are offering $4 for the Broncos max $25 bet if you want some free money through arbitrage..... or if you are really confident 😉

Beware the curse. They had Geelong an inflated price last week. The amount of time these specials dont come through is amazing. Its almost like it is a script and they know the result.

100% this. I almost feel like they're a prediction of the winner. Inflated bet guys will lose.

i.e Panthers were 9:1 for a max bet of $10

It's been a shit system for a long time.

The only way that really makes sense is the way fantasy points are calculated. Players are awarded points in a balanced way for their position, based on their own contributions. There's no reason a ridiculous forward like Haas shouldn't have just as much chance at getting the Dally M as a play maker or fullback. No reason a center or a 2nd rower shouldn't either.

This means, that if a team goes off like a frog in a sock, half their players might get a lot of points each week and fair enough! Rather than the current system that penalises all but the best ranked player in that team for the given week.

At the risk of jinxing it, I haven't tipped Brisbane since the Knights game.

I'm superstitious and even though I was tossing up between Brisbane and Penrith, that was an easy decision once I remembered the routine.

Melbourne have been my pick since last year.

Craig Bellamy won’t lose 2 GFs in a row.
Harry Grant needs a prem to cement his legacy.
Munny will be doing it for his dad.
We have no one that can stop Coates.
Payne will be distracted by Stefano and forget to do his job.

Brisbane 0% chance
Melbourne 100% chance

So scoring each player on a 1-10 basis but allows players to earn equal points across a given game
