AFL Round 1 Preview, Footy Tips and Odds

Posted by Rooster on March 18th , 2010 under AFL | Be the First to Comment

Round one of the 2010 AFL season is upon us and footy tipping will be very tough this year with the gap between the top four clubs shortening in what could be a very interesting year. Once again the team at Sportsbet Blog will give you our expert tips for every round this year along with a few good betting tips along the way.

It’s always hard to tip round 1 as so much can change during the off season but luckily I predict a fairly straight forward round.

The game of round 1 is defiantly the Western Bulldogs V Collingwood. Both teams have recruited well over the summer with the Bulldogs picking up the “Big Bad” Barry Hall who has shown what the year could bring booting 7 fine goals last week in the NAB Cup grand final. Collingwood had picked up ex St Kilda captain Luke Ball who has impressed in the preseason games and star ruckman Darren Jolly who at his 3rd club has be chosen in the Pies leadership group this year. It will be interesting how the new players go this week and should make for a very interesting game. Read more of this article »

Preview

The 2010 AFL season is yet to kick off and we already have an epic on our hands for the NAB Cup grand final.

If this game is half as good as the 2009 preliminary final against the two sides (where St Kilda went onto win by 7 points) we will be in for a cracker.

Both teams have played good footy (when needed) leading into the final showing off some new talent along the way which could be the telling part of Saturday nights game.

For the Saints Rhys Stanley and Ben McEvoy have inspired in the last few weeks and both have been named to play in the grand final. Their height and speed played a welcome part in last weeks 70 point dismantling of Fremantle.

fevolaThe 2009 trade week has been the busiest for some time with some of the best players in the AFL moved onto new clubs.

Barry Hall has finally got his wish and will be playing with the bulldogs next season. In a 2 year deal with the Bulldogs, Hall was traded from Sydney to the Bulldogs for their 3rd round pick and some back end picks if desired by the club. Hall will slip perfectly into the Bulldogs forward line up and should give their chances to go the next step and challenge for a Grand Final next year.

But can he keep his cool… Read more of this article »

Betfair Match Odds

St Kilda: 1.39

Western Bulldogs: 3.50

Best Betfair Bet: Western Bulldogs to win the first quarter with odds of 2.56. St Kilda’s first quarters of late have been fairly slow and they take a good 20 min to get going. I think the Doggies have a good chance to win this quarter and with the odds of 2.56 its well worth a bet.

Tip: St Kilda by 21 points
