Round 9 AFL Action. Carlton Blues Vs Hawthorn Hawks @ Etihad 12:10amET 5/23/10
After beating Geelong, St Kilda and Port Adelaide over the last month Carlton wil feel quite confident going into tonights match against the Hawks, a team whom they have beaten only twice in the last decade. The Hawks on the other hand were able to break a 6 game losing run by beating the wooden spoon favourites in Richmond with an awful 3 point win last week. At least their prized injury-plagued recruit Shaun Burgoyne was able to play some minutes.
Hawks ruckman Sam Jacobs will have to begin stepping up if he plans to keep high-priced recruit Robbie Warnock in the VFL in one of the more engrossing ruck competitions in the league. After a slow start to the season he is beginning to show some form and will have to continue doing so if he plans on keeping Warnock at bay. Shaun Burgoyne had a solid debut with his new club. His skill has never been at issue, but his body certainly is. Can he start stringing some games together now?
Jarrad Waite comes out of the Blues' line-up after copping a two-game suspension while Kane Lucas and Ryan Houlihan are also in danger of missing with hamstring strains. How will those changes affect team chemistry? Have the Hawks turned the corner? They've been massively disappointing this season, but maybe four premiership points will be just the tonic they needed.
The Blues may have struggled with Hawthorn in recent times, but times they are a-changing. Setanta O'hAilpin and his band of small forward helpers are proving quite a handful for opponents, Chris Judd's onball brigade is humming along nicely and the backline is doing its bit too. Hawthorn has looked a shadow of its former self and doesn't look to have the class to prevail here.
My pick here is Carlton Blues -18.5 (-108) for 2 units available at iasbet.
Lets do this gents and as always good luck fellow gamelivers

Round 9 AFL Action. Port Adelaide Vs Melbourne Demons @ TIO Stadium 05:10amET 5/22/10
Although having lost their last 3 matches, the Dmons are not the wooden spoon contenders they were in 2008-09. The Demons have pushed both the Magpies and Bulldogs, narrowly losing both. Last weeks game against the West Coast however was a disappointment. Whilst over at Port Adelaide, the season is travelling along nicely. Sitting in eighth position after eight rounds, the Power may have dropped last Sunday's clash against Carlton at AAMI Stadium, but it was after three consecutive wins against St Kilda, Adelaide and Essendon. In addition the Power also started the season with back-to-back wins and overall has five wins to its name. Only in weeks 4 and 5 have they not sat in the top 8.
Jack Watts, the 2008 No.1 NAB AFL Draft pick, returned to play his first AFL match for the season last week - his fourth overall - and showed some good signs against West Coast. The key forward has been under immense scrutiny and will be given time to settle in the coming weeks. Although he is no longer an official part of the Power's leadership group, Kane Cornes remains one of its integral players. He was important again last round against the Blues, winning 27 touches and holding Marc Murphy to eight touches in the first half.
Melbourne plays its first home match in the Northern Territory this round. How will it adapt to the different climate and conditions? On the other hand, the Power has played at TIO Stadium four times. Will this prove to be a significant advantage over the Demons?
Had this match been played at the MCG, Melbourne may have entered as favourites, considering it has won seven of eight matches against Port Adelaide at the 'G. Although this is a home game for the Demons, the Power has greater experience in the Top End and may acclimatise more easily. Port Adelaide also has the form on the board over the past month. Taking Port Adelaide -10.5 (-107 available at pinnacle) for 2 units.

::reload:Round 8 AFL Action. Kangaroos Vs Crows at Etihad Stadium 5:10amEST 5/15/10
The Adelaide Crows last week departed the train wreck that was the 1st six rounds of its season to record their 1st win in 2010 as they took out Richmond by a scoreboard flatterring 50 points. An 8 goal final term their saving grace, almost resigning the tigers to the wooden spoon. Contrastingly, the Kangaroos saw themselves on the end of a 66 point thumping from Collingwood.
The Crows have won on the previous 8 successive occasions against the kangaroos. However, the Roos will be buoyed by what has been an encouraging month of football. A loss to the Crows here would just about spell the death of their 2010 season whilst the kangaroos are looking to hang around the top 8 with victory.
Averaging 4 tackles a game and kicking 3 last week against Collingwood, Kangaroo's lindsay thomas will be looking to evade Adelaide's midfield defence, especialy if Johncock has a down game. Adelaide forward Kurt Tippett also played his best game of the season last weekend. The imposing Queenslander managed just one goal in the opening four rounds, but booted 4.3 against Richmond to take his tally to 10 goals in the past three weeks. Tippett loves the Etihad Stadium surface and will only get better as the team does.
Have the Crows really turned their season around??? They will have to replicate the 4th quarter performance against Richmond of last week if they are to make a statement in this game. How will the Roos respond? Skipper Brent Harvey told his charges not to drop their heads following the hefty loss to Collingwood, but it might be easier said than done for the young, developing team.
For some, the fence might be the best place to sit on this one. Adelaide played just 30 minutes of decent football to get over the line against the Tigers, but thats unlikely to be enough to topple North Melbourne.
To summarize, with the exception of blow-out losses to top-four fancies Collingwood and St Kilda, the Roos have proved to be tough opponents this season and will punish the Crows if they cant compete for four quarters. My loot for this game wil be going on the Crows +10.5 (currently at -108 at betfair) for 2 units .
As always good luck gentlemen

Round 7 AFL Action. Carlton Vs St.Kilda at Etihad Stadium 5:20am EST 5/10/10
With both teams playing vastly different styles of football this game should be a spectacle to watch.
The bulldogs had the life choked out of them in Round 6 by the Saints, who went on to win kicking 3 goals in the final quarter. They will look to continue doing this with the absence of Nick Riewoldt and misfiring forward Justin Koschitzke in what is shaping up to be a low scoring affair. The blues who looked fleet footed, swift and composed in their Round 5 win over the Cats were given a football reality check last week against Colingwood. The result of this match will largely depend on which version of Carlton runs out onto the field.
In the absence of Nick Riewoldt, Saints forward Justin Koschitzke has failed to deliver on the form that saw him kick 48 goals on 2009, kicking only 2 goals in his last two games since coming back from suspension. If he can find the form of 09' then saints will be a much more formiddible unit. Years of development appeared to pay off for Carlton's Setanta O'hAilpin against Collingwood, when he booted five goals. The Irishman isn't the prettiest footballer going around but he continually makes contests and gives his teammates an option. He will be looking to consolidate his good form against the Saints.
Will St.Kilda look to cut of the Cat's supply in the same way they did to the Bulldogs? The majority of fans might not like it, but it is what's working for them at the moment. Which is the real Carlton? The fleet-footed mosquito fleet that left Geelong for dead, or the inconsistent group that shone for a quarter against Collingwood before burning out?
To conclude, if the Saints can keep the Blues' key midfielders quiet enough for long enough, their defenders should easily quell the threat posed by O'hAilpin and Carlton's fleet of small forwards. Even if the Blues do break free for a period, they will struggle to get on top of the stingiest defence in the League and that alone should to see St Kilda clear. My play here is St.Kilda -16.5 (+106) available at Pinnacle for 1 unit.
