2nd vs. 3rd
These two teams meet again in September after last year’s classical grand final. Geelong finished the year in second position and has been putting in good performances after the loss to Collingwood. While the Saints have been adjusting to life with Riewoldt again and will hit September with questionable form but the ability to turn it around. (more…)
This week we see a massive score of 3,315 points, and even more surprisingly it wouldn’t have cost you a fortune to get with the team coming in under the $10 million salary cap. It was largely led by the midfield which contribute three scores above 170 points. (more…)
This week saw two massive scores, and Nick Riewoldt (171) was very unlucky to be beaten to the captaincy. The man to steal that honour was Shane Mumford (175) who racked up the points in the Swans win over Fremantle at Subiaco. (more…)
North Melbourne – 9.9 (63)
St Kilda – 17.13 (119)
St Kilda brushed aside an enthusiastic, but ultimately not good enough North Melbourne side to win by 52 points. Like last week St Kilda kicked plenty of goals, which they’ll be happy about as it is the most common question mark on the clubs chances of winning the flag this year. (more…)

3rd vs. 9th
St Kilda may or may not be upping their training load which is probably more a factor of their performance than any other. They have stopped using the altitude chamber but have they really reduced training load?
North kind of need to win this one to get in to the finals. This is a massive game for them at their home ground. (more…)
SportsBet Odds: $1.72 vs $2.12
3rd vs. 7th
This game shapes up to be a season defining one for both sides really. For the Saints, top spot hangs in the balance and a loss here would see them potentially drop 6 points behind Collingwood. For the Hawks, a win here would see them pushing for that last top four position if the other results go their way. (more…)

11th vs.2nd
St Kilda sit second on the ladder and Brisbane sit eleventh. The Lions have had a horror second half of what has been played to this point, after such a strong early showing in season 2010. St Kilda have had their own shakes, but have straightened up recently, even defeating top placed Geelong in the last five weeks. (more…)
There were plenty of 150+ scores this week, and they were fairly well spread across all of the positions. Brian Lake (156) represents the defenders on his own, but Dane Swan (163), Leigh Montagna (155), Scott Thompson (155), and Kade Simpson (151) all represent the midfielders, while Cyril Rioli (159) and Kurt Tippett (153) represent the forwards.
