February 7th, 2015 by TJ DilferThe young up-and-coming players are a key ingredient to any kind of success in a AFL season, and it’s well worth having a little look over the young guns who will hopefully be making an impact on those AFL odds in 2015.
One of those is likely to be Brad Crouch, who has Read the rest of this entry »

January 26th, 2015 by TJ DilferIt’s been an unsettled pre-season for the Bulldogs, and there will be plenty of people thinking that it’s been a less-than-ideal preparation for the 2015 campaign – that’s probably been reflected, too, in the AFL odds that we’re seeing for them ahead of the new season. Part of those disruptions has been the departure of key personnel both off the pitch and on it, but that just gives the Bulldogs the chance to start afresh.
And you can see that approach taking shape in the new leadership group at the Bulldogs for the 2015 season. New skipper Robert Murphy will be Read the rest of this entry »

January 26th, 2015 by TJ Dilfer2015 could be an interesting year for Pies fans – Collingwood are at odds of $34.00 to make the year a winning one, but if you look closely at those AFL odds, you’ll see that they’re a $3.00 bet to finish inside the top eight, so they’re expected to be in the mix at the business end, but a long-shot to Read the rest of this entry »

January 25th, 2015 by TJ DilferYou’ve got to feel for AFL players, sometimes. Mostly, it’s because we know that we couldn’t take some of the hits you see going in each and every week. Also, these guys go through fitness and training routines that would have us on our knees in minutes. And, we’re hearing this week, their chances of making a million in the 2015 season are looking slim. Far better to be the guy checking the AFL odds ahead of the new season, then…

January 22nd, 2015 by TJ DilferThe AFL season is a long one. It rarely feels like it for the fans, who are able to just sit back and enjoy the whole show as it gets more and more tense towards the business end of the season. But for the players and the people making the big decisions at each AFL franchise, the season is a long campaign, with a ferocious battle every week. And when injuries inevitably come, they can really affect those AFL odds for your team and their chances of reaching the finals or lifting silverware.
So it’s vital to get a good, strong pre-season in to build towards each new season. What you absolutely don’t want to see, as a fan or as a coach, is players picking up injuries or breaking down in pre-season training. Spare a thought, then, for Cats coach Chris Scott, who Read the rest of this entry »

January 21st, 2015 by TJ DilferIdeally, an AFL franchise will go into its preparations for a new season with a settled roster of players, and a settled off-field leadership, as well. We don’t know how you think it will affect how you see their AFL odds, but the Western Bulldogs won’t be starting the 2015 season with either of those things, it looks like.
They won’t be starting the new season with CEO Simon Garlick at the helm, that’s for sure – he Read the rest of this entry »

January 21st, 2015 by TJ DilferAFL players don’t get January off. The rest of us might like to take a few more days than usual to get over the excitement of the New Year, but the AFL boys are straight back into work, and they will all have the first date of the new season firmly in their sights. And we’ve got one eye on the AFL odds for the start of April, too, of course…
That key date for the Gold Coast players will be April 4th, when they take on Melbourne to open their account for 2015, and for one young Sun in particular, it could be a huge occasion. 18-year-old Touk Miller has Read the rest of this entry »

January 15th, 2015 by TJ Dilfer2014 was another tough year at St Kilda. The Saints finished with the wooden spoon in their trophy cabinet, and they shipped more points than any other side on the ladder. Their 2015 ambitions will be modest, then, and you can see from the AFL odds that they will have to find some real inspiration from somewhere if they’re going to be playing finals football: we’re seeing odds of $13.00 for them to Read the rest of this entry »

January 15th, 2015 by TJ DilferInjuries are part and parcel of an AFL season, and for the teams trying to mount a successful 2015 campaign, managing the list of players who are carrying injuries and who are incapacitated by them is hugely important. It’s an important factor, too, in your calculations when you’re weighing up the AFL odds we’re seeing at this early stage for the coming season.
