AFL Odds: Roughead Still Hungry
January 15th, 2015 by TJ DilferWith a winning 2014 season behind them, and AFL odds that point to them being the team to beat again in 2015, this generation of Hawthorn players, if it sees more success, could easily be counted amongst the greatest.
And one of the key players in this cohort, Jarryd Roughead, looks hungry coming into the new season to find himself some more success – and with him the team. He’s already Read the rest of this entry »

January 7th, 2015 by TJ DilferIt’s time for the hard work in advance of the 2015 AFL season, and when we’re looking over the AFL odds for the coming year, we’re looking quite closely at Richmond, who are at odds of $2.00 to make another appearance in the finals this year, but we’re not sure how they’ll pull up in 2015: it took a near-miraculous run of wins to sneak them into finals footie last year, and they Read the rest of this entry »

January 6th, 2015 by TJ DilferWe know it’s early to be doing this, but we thought we’d have a look at which of the AFL coaches are likely to be under pressure in the 2015 season, and maybe have a guess at what it will take to get them a bit of job security. There’s always pressure on coaches, of course, and it very much comes with the territory when you take the top job, but Read the rest of this entry »

January 6th, 2015 by TJ DilferThe first game of the new AFL season is still a distance away, but it won’t feel much like that for the players, who will be back in work with a vengeance this week, putting in the hard graft that will pay dividends when the season’s well underway, safe in the knowledge that a strong pre-season can see a team’s AFL odds creeping down even before the good results start to arrive.
And the other people who will be Read the rest of this entry »

January 3rd, 2015 by TJ DilferWe don’t know if you’ve been keeping up with the long-running saga that’s still been playing out at Essendon. We’ve mostly steered clear of it in these pages – in part because we’re not sure the effect it really has on the AFL odds we’re seeing, but also because it’s a long and complicated story and we’re not sure what we think of it yet.
And another Read the rest of this entry »

January 1st, 2015 by TJ DilferIt’s a fresh new start for the year for you, and it could well be for the AFL, too. It might not feel too much like an optimistic new dawn for you this morning, but no doubt that will wear off over the course of the day, and you’ll be stuck with those New Year’s resolutions you made in haste last night. Which got us thinking: which AFL coaches will have New Year’s resolutions, and how will they affect the way you see their teams’ AFL odds?
You would be forgiven for thinking that Hawthorn boss Alastair Clarkson’s wishlist for the 2015 season is a short one – and you’d probably be right. After a season that saw Read the rest of this entry »

AFL Odds: The Hard Work Has Started
December 31st, 2014 by TJ DilferAFL players can’t expect to have the same Christmas that you and I can – we probably knew that already, but a little look at the training that those guys are putting in is enough to make you reach for another slice of cake. With the long, hard 2015 season ahead of them, and the inevitable wear and tear injuries and the long-term fatigue that they have to overcome, it’s vital for a player’s season that they clock a good preparation in the off-season. It can have a big impact on the AFL odds you’re seeing for their teams and for the Brownlow and others medals, too.
And it’s especially important for Read the rest of this entry »

December 24th, 2014 by TJ DilferThere’s no doubt we still love a game of footie, but there were rumblings all the way through last season from fans in all corners of the country, and from the AFL Fans Association, about the unnecessary difficulty of just getting hold of tickets to watch AFL games, especially for big matches. That suggests to us that people were wanting to get down to the games, but that they were put off by the difficulty – we certainly wouldn’t put the drop-off in attendance down to a lack of fans, especially given the success of online betting sites, and the sheer volume of people checking out those AFL odds each and every week.
And it seems like Read the rest of this entry »
