St Kilda vs. Fremantle NAB Cup Semi-Final Review

March 6th, 2010

St Kilda – 2.15.7 (115)
Fremantle – 2.3.9 (45)

St Kilda smashed an out-of-sorts Freo outfit which has set up a NAB Cup Grand Final against the Western Bulldogs next week.

The game was originally rumoured to be called off due to damage to the roof from the wild Melbourne weather during the day. In the end, the game started 20 minutes late after WorkCover and the Police signed off on the stadium.
That little affair was probably the most entertaining part of the game to be honest. Both coaches showed their lack of interest in the result before the game by resting key players. Read the rest of this entry »

Western Bulldogs vs. Port Adelaide – NAB Cup Semi-Final Review

March 5th, 2010

Western Bulldogs – 1.11.17 (92)
Port Adelaide – 1.12.8 (89)

You can’t say much more than it was a fantastic game. Port Adelaide came out of the blocks and threatened to run away with the match really quickly. The Western Bulldogs dug deep though, and after Barry Hall started shakily he managed to top score with 4 majors. The lead changed on multiple occasions and even if one team had the run of play the other would find something out of nothing to keep in the contest. It came down to the last 2 minutes when Big Bad Barry took a fantastic pack mark (it was reminiscent of Michael Gardiners mark against Geelong last year) and gave the ball to Brian Lake who sealed the win.

St Kilda vs. Fremantle – NAB Cup Semifinal Match Preview

March 5th, 2010

Saturday Night / Etihad Stadium
$1.22 vs. $4.35

After a couple of Saints players came out and said that the NAB cup means nothing to them and will not heal wounds over their premiership loss to Geelong last year you would think that they are not going to win this week. The real story is that the Saints are a great football team and seem to win even when they are missing key players and not playing terribly well. The last two weeks are examples of that. The Saints are resting players who played in the Grand Final last year and are huge names; Riewoldt and Goddard. Even with those players out Fremantle will be no match for the Saints playing at their favorite venue. Read the rest of this entry »

Western Bulldogs vs. Port Adelaide – NAB Cup Semifinal Match Preview

March 4th, 2010

Friday Night / Etihad Stadium
$1.36 vs. $3.15

Both the Western Bulldogs and Port Adelaide have gone through the first two rounds of the NAB Cup in quite a solid fashion. The Dogs have beaten the Brisbane Lions by 8 points in wet weather conditions and then blasted away Hawthorn by 57 points. On the other hand the Power has convincingly beaten Adelaide by 56 and West Coast by a massive 78 points last week.
The Dogs will take a very strong line up into tonight’s game missing only 3 players from their best 22 (including Brad Johnson and Daniel Giansiracusa), but Port Adelaide will be getting back Warren Tredrea, Robbie Gray, Travis Boak and Dean Brogan to strengthen their team. A tough match one would think. On the scoreboard Port Adelaide seems to look the better team, but the Dogs are out in force and look strong enough to win the NAB Cup for 2010.
