Port Adelaide vs. Adelaide – Round 17 Match Review
Monday, July 26th, 2010Port Adelaide – 13.10 (88)
Adelaide – 9.15 (69)
For all but Port Adelaide supporters this was a rather lackluster derby until the final quarter when Adelaide decided to kick into gear and give the Power a scare. The damage however was already done as Port Adelaide recorded a rather comfortable 19 point victory. (more…)
Port Adelaide vs. Adelaide – Round 17 Match Preview
Friday, July 23rd, 2010SportsBet Odds: $3.80 vs $1.27
14th vs. 10th
Who would have guessed that Adelaide would still be in contention for finals at this stage of the year, after their slow start many expected jobs to be lost but all of a sudden the Crows are a game and percentage out of the 8. Port Adelaide on the other hand is only one game clear of the bottom of the ladder, so there is plenty to play for in this clash. Oh and by the way it’s a derby too! (more…)
Richmond vs. North Melbourne – Round 16 Match Review
Monday, July 19th, 2010Richmond – 7.11 (53)
North Melbourne – 15.13 (103)
North Melbourne have simultaneously kept their finals chances alive and sent the Tigers a huge reality check as to where they are at as a club with a comfortable 50 point victory in trying conditions. The main reason for the result was North’s superior appetite for the contest but they also demonstrated that extra bit of polish that separates a finals contender from a team rebuilding like the Tigers are.

ContestedFooty’s start of the year preview
1st-3rd St Kilda are still one of the best teams in the competition and assuming distractions like Lovett and Ball don’t have too great an impact, there is still plenty to get excited about with the St Kilda Football Club.
Ross Lyon has them all playing ‘Saints Footy’ and that could yet deliver them a premiership.
Melbourne vs. Essendon – Round 15 Match Review
Monday, July 12th, 2010Melbourne – 19.8 (122)
Essendon – 14.19 (103)
Melbourne confirmed their status as a young team on the rise with a solid 19 point win against an Essendon team seemingly lacking direction and discipline.
Whilst the Bombers were inaccurate and the Demons did score quite a few goals from free kicks the final result really did seem appropriate based on the way the game was played, the Demons simply had more confidence in their game plan and executed it with much more authority than their more fancied rivals and that ultimately was the difference.
