GRAND FINAL BETS 🏆

GRAND FINAL BEST BETS!

Sep 28, 2024

Punters,

It’s here. It’s finally here.

21 million eyes across the country all cast upon 44 soldiers.
An ensemble of gladiators with the world on their shoulders.
A single act of bravery, etched into the history of football folklore.

Who will stand up? Whose name will be engraved upon that glorious cup?

And more importantly, who wins the Normy???

THE NORMSMITH VOTING PANEL

What’s the most important thing in determining the winner of the illustrious Norm Smith medal? Did someone say the panel..? Correct.

JACK RIEWOLDT

Knows his footy. Will have the biggest impact on the voting panel’s thoughts.
Will love a forward (Joe, Charlie, Rayner)
All-round shrewd operator. If a backman is best on ground, Jack will give him votes.

ANNA HARRINGTON

A quick google search shows the ‘pronouns’ in the Twitter profile. The ‘His/Her’ nonsense that swept the globe a few years ago. Think Brodie Grundy.

RORY SLOANE

Might be a little eccentric judging off his Brownlow performance.
A courageous operator. Think Heeney. Think Floppy’s man ‘Dunks’.
Will love a midfielder.

SHAUN BURGOYNE

A humble man. Will go with the crowd. Won’t do anything left field.
Knows his footy. Will just give the thing to whoever deserves it. Zero bias with Silk.

RILEY BEVERIDGE

Never heard of him, but I like the name🍺

WHO WINS?

Look, I’ve been saying that Sydney were sh*te and Brisbane were flag favourites since about round 10. Would it be rude of me to switch my tip right here at the pointy end of the season?

Yes. Yes it would.

The Lions have had the pain, the agony, the heartbreak. It puts a few hairs on the chest. A distinct hunger arises from a loss like that. They’ll be ruthless today.

Floppy reckons Brizzy will get the choccies today in a thriller.

✅ FLOPPY’S BEST

✅ EITHER TEAM UNDER 15.5 POINTS ($2.50 POINTSBET)

*You can feel it in the air, no? This one’s going down to the wire. A ripping bet.

✅ TOM PAPLEY UNDER 13.5 DISPOSALS ($1.87 POINTSBET)

*I saw an interview with Brandon ‘The Cadet’ Starcevich over the week, and my deary me did he look fired up. He was talking about devoting his game to completely shutting ‘The Papsmear’ out of the game. And I believed him. He had ‘that look’ deep within his eyes.

✅ JOSH DUNKLEY ‘TO POLL A VOTE’ ($4.00 POINTSBET)

*Look. There are a combined THIRTY votes given out today. And you simply KNOW that Floppy’s man ‘Dunks’ will have his schnozz over the Sherrin all day. Sloaney will be loving him sick if he lays a few big tackles or does a hard tag and keeps Heeney out of the game. A great bet.

✅ BRISBANE TO WIN BY 1-10 POINTS ($7.50 POINTSBET)

*One for the Lotto ticket buyers. A genuine sniff.

🏅 FLOPPY’S NORMY BETS

THE RATIONALE

Outside of that powerful engine, Sydney just don’t have the players with enough upside to win the thing. Take a look at their Brownlow spread as evidence:

Not ONE best on ground performance outside of the 3 midfielders ALL YEAR. If Sydney win, you can bet your bottom dollar that it’s one of Heeney/Warner/Gulden.

Now, if you ask a Floppy Nut, Floppy’s man ‘Dunks’ is every chance to perform a ‘run with’ role against Heeney at the stoppages.

And that leaves me thinking that either ‘The Chad’ or Floppy’s man Errol are much more likely to take the thing home. And with ‘The Chad’ reportedly on his way back home to WA come season’s end, it doesn’t seem right for him to win it over my man Errol.

And that’s why I’m backing Errol. The great man. Plus, his odds are a little juicer than the other two. And if you ask Floppy, he should be equal pegging with the favourites.

BRISBANE, on the other hand, play that quick, ‘surge the ball forward at all costs’ type of style. And, if you scroll up about 3 swipes, you’ll see that Floppy thinks big Jack Riewoldt will have a large say in the winner of this award.

What does that mean? It means the likes of Joe Daniher, Cam Rayner and Charlie Cameron come into play.

If Big Joe can kick 4 or 5, he wins the thing. If Little Charlie kicks 4 (very unlikely, he might just win the thing too.

THE SPREAD

Look, I’m all about spreading the funds across a few likely selections, sitting back, cracking a frothy, and watching them go to work. With that in mind…

If Floppy had $50 to spread on the Normy, here’s how he’d spread it:

‘The Chad’ ($7.00) - $10
Errol Gulden ($9.00) - $15
Cam Rayner ($21.00) - $5
Joe Daniher ($26.00) - $10
Charlie Cameron ($41.00) - $5
Harris Andrews ($51.00) - $5

🚨 THE BIG FLOPPY™

*1 Multi worth >$5, all finals™

PAPLEY UNDER 13.5 ($1.87)
JASPA FLETCHER OVER 13.5 ($1.87)
LOGAN MORRIS UNDER 8.5 ($1.80)

$6.30 POINTSBET

How’s that for a finish, Punters? A genuine smorgas board of punting selections for you to feast on.

What a season it’s been. Floppy’s had a blast. Let’s finish the thing with a bang, yeah?

Floppy.
