Wednesday, March 31st, 2010Brisbane vs. Carlton – Round 2 Match Preview
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010SportsBet Odds: $1.33 vs. $3.30
4th vs. 3rd
In one of the most anticipated encounters of the year the Carlton Football Club will be taking on Brendan Fevola, I mean the Brisbane Lions, in a match which is sure to be remembered. Last week the Lions had come from behind win against the Eagles, after their new ‘twin towers’ in Jonathan Brown and Brendan Fevola came through with the goods. For the Blues, they came out firing against a very young Richmond side and came out victors pretty easily, proving they can win without Fevola.
In these two teams past five encounters, the Blues have won 4 games (by an average of 7 points) to the Lions 1 win at last year’s Quarter Final, which interestingly enough was by 7 points. So expect this match to be another close encounter. (more…)

Western Bulldogs vs. Collingwood – Round 1 Match Review
Sunday, March 28th, 2010Western Bulldogs – 13.15 (93)
Collingwood – 19.15 (129)
One of the most anticipated matches of the round lived up to expectations. Collingwood came out firing early and ruined Brad Johnson’s 350th game celebrations by defeating the Western Bulldogs by 36 points at Etihad Stadium.
The Bulldogs started off slowly and could not find the momentum and spring they had during the NAB Cup. In the second quarter however, they cut a 5 goal deficit down to 9 points and seemed to be back in the game. The third quarter was intense and goal for goal at the beginning until the Pies steadied in the later stages of the third and for much of the fourth to win the match. (more…)
