TOPIC:

Hard to believe there's only 3 qualifying rounds remaining, and the Premiership betting has narrowed basically to three teams. Subiaco currently paying 2.00 dollars (even), South Fremantle are 3 dollars 50c (at 5/2) and West Perth currently 6 dollars (5/1).

Claremont $18 (17/1)
Perth $101 100/1
Swan Districts $151 150/1

Swans @ 150/1 - what a generous bookie. WAG can you please confirm Subiaco's odds? I would think that Subiaco are deadest certainties to win the 2016 premiership.

Don't agree with this Swan42, I think Subiaco are not as good as they were last year when they were a long way above anyone else. Any of the current top 5 could win the flag in my view and it promises to be a far more competitive finals series this year. A lot depends on injuries and how each team is tracking towards the end of the qualifying round. Top spot on the ladder is also crucial given that the occupier of that spot will get a week off which is critical in September.

Do you want to revisit your comments vis a vis Subiaco mikeh?

on reading mike's comments I think he is absolutely on the money. after losing Boland, Yarran, Deluca, Worthington, Menegola and so on..Subi aren't as strong as last year. they won last years GF in a canter...can't see that happening this year with WP and SF being very competitive....and depending on who is available for WART and FART, both could cause some pain if they make the finals.

happy to stand by these comments Swan 42. I think Subiaco have lost some games this year that they wouldn't have last year ( e.g Perth at Lathlain) I think they are favourites because they sit on top of the ladder but their bye in the last round will mean a two week break before their first final and they may be vulnerable to an ambush from West Perth or South Freo. They are no certainties

I thought I'd raise this back up...Bazza did you ever get a piece of the Souths action at $26 back in March?
