AFL Odds: Real Opportunities For Young Saints
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.
Take, for instance, Read the rest of this entry »

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 »

December 24th, 2014 by TJ DilferIt’s quite common to see AFL players offering their opinions of rival players and teams, and you probably wouldn’t take too much notice of that criticism – because it’s very often criticism, and not a lot of it constructive, either – when you’re looking over the AFL odds we’ve got for you at this early stage at the other end of the link there. But when a player like Dane Swan offers a refreshingly honest appraisal of his own work for Collingwood over the 2014 season – and makes a commitment at the same time to Read the rest of this entry »

December 19th, 2014 by TJ DilferThe Giants won six games last season, and they wound up a couple of spots clear of the foot of the ladder. For the 2015 season, the AFL odds at the other end of that link will tell you that they’re a long outside chance to at odds of $101.00 to win the premiership, but a decent-looking $7.00 to sneak into the top eight come the final day of the regular season. It would be their first taste of finals footie, and there’s little doubt that their players – and their fans, of course – will be hungry for that success. But can they make the step up?
There were genuine signs in 2014. The current crop of GWS players are Read the rest of this entry »
