Aust Rules Football Rd.5 awthorn V Nth. Melbourne/24/2010 @03:40 est
Well guys, we're 1-1 thus far this weekend...Lets see if we can end this on a good note 
The Hawks have had a tough run to begin the 2010 season, losing to the Bulldogs, Geelong and Collingwood in recent weeks, and if ever the sense of urgency was there to begin winning games, then this is it. Returning for this match are Lance Franklin and Brad Sewell, which gives Alastair Clarksons side a significant boost, however Franklin's form has deserted him of late and he will need to step up a gear. He played a briliant game at the corresponding time last year against the Kangaroos and will need to replicate this.
Brent Harvey is starting to show some form for North Melbourne, while Ryan Bastinac is enjoying a flawless debut season so far. But the positives are few and far between down at Arden St.
Leading by example is Brad Sewell, whose hardness and athleticism throughout the midfield will inspire his teammates and the Hawks line-up seems so much more formidable with him in there.
Often criticised for his performance not matching his talent, Daniel Wells showed glimpses last week in the 40-point loss to the Sydney Swans but needs discover that elusive beast called consistency if he is to reach his peak as a footballer.
Who stops Lance Franklin? Nth Melbourne has shown to have trouble this season matching up on key forwards and Buddys traditional North Melbourne opponent Josh Gibson is now a (sidelined) Hawk and North Melbourne needs to find the right match to curtail Franklins speed and strength. Scott Thompson may be the man for the job.
Can North Melbourne exploit the ruck situation? This is one area the Kangaroos are far superior to the Hawks. Hamish McIntosh, Todd Goldstein and if necessary, David Hale will be far too much for Brent Renouf to handle on his own. The Hawks on-ballers will have no choice but to hover around the blue socks at the ruck contests.
In conclusion neither side has done much to give the tipsters any faith but the Hawks get a pardon because of a tough three weeks. They will want this more and the returning Sewell and Franklin also add weight to their argument. Therefore im wagering 2 units on Hawthorn -19.5 (+102) pinnacle....
Once again BOL with ur plays and may the gambling gods smile upon us

4/23 5:40am Rd 5 Aussie Rules Action. Its the Crows V Bulldogs
Before we get into things today guys i just wanted to give a big shout out to all 4 making me feel at home here Enough with the violins, lets get down to business 
Tonight's write-up brought to you by: "Gambling, because in most betting shops you will see three windows marked 'Bet Here,' but only one window with the legend 'Pay Out..."
The beginning of round five sees both teams coming off dissappointing losses, with the bulldogs being clawed down by the lions away by 22 points and the crows were made to feel blue at home by carlton to the tune of 48 points. Despite the hype pre-season neither side is playing to expectation thus far. For the crows however, the situation is far more critical. Neil Craig's men haven't looked anywhere near the top-four side that many predicted this year and, while they haven't been hitting the scoreboard, the problem looks to be through the middle where they've looked slow and haven't generated nearly enough forward entries. The Bulldogs are a side well-equipped to expose that weakness with their slick ball movement on the fast track at Etihad likely to cause the crows all kinds of issues if they can't shake out of their current form slump.
Bulldogs skipper Brad Johnson has spent longer than expected on the sidelines after a virus/golf cart fender bender so he should be cherry ripe to give the dogs extra run through the forwardline and midfield. It will be interesting to see how the wily forward works around new focal point, Barry Hall. Does he still have the legs to play further up the ground?
Tyson Edwards is one of the Crows' over-30s who have received plenty of unfavourable press following his team's 0-4 start to the season. The veteran had 41 possessions in his 300th game midway through last year, but hasn't been anywhere near that sort of form this season.
Will the true Bulldogs stand up? Widely thought of as grand final material pre-season, the Dogs have failed to live up to that billing so far. Do Adelaide's veterans still have what it takes? Neil Craig will be hoping so or he might have to make some tough decisions before the season is over.
I coclusion the Bulldogs are hurting after a performance that was well-below expectations and that doesn't bode well for the out-of-form Crows. Rodney Eade has threatened to swing the axe and whatever side he puts out on Friday night will be looking to inflict some pain. The Bullies are excellent at disposing of not-so-good teams and disappointing Adelaide falls into that category. My pick here is Western Bulldogs -39.5 (-106) pinacle for 1 unit....As always best of luck with your plays....

Round 4 AFL Action. Lions Vs Bulldogs at the Gabba 5am 4/17/10
The brisbane Lions remains one of three teams undefeated going into round four. Having beaten West Coast, Carlton and, most recently, Port Adelaide, where their twin towers Jonathan Brown and Brendan Fevola combined for eight goals and seven score assists.
The Dogs' win over Hawthorn on Sunday was a gutsy effort but came with its own a heavy cost. Tager Liam Picken, Jason Akermanis and possibly Ryan Hargrave are out whilst hargrave will be tested but the other two will leave big holes in the line-up.
Their form so far has been patchy with coach Rodney Eade lamenting their inability to jell in the first three rounds.
With Clark going out of the side, the workload of Matthew Leuenberger will increase.Back for the lions is Jared Brennan, who proved his ability to play as a back-up ruckman last year. Leuenberger is yet to set the world on fire since returning from injury and will be in the spotlight this week.
Eade applied the acid to Will Minson on Sunday after the burly ruckman played yet another game marred by silly decisions. He threatened him with VFL time but with the Lions' ruck stocks depleted by Charman and Clark's absence, he might leave him in for a possible confidence-building opportunity.
The Lions are somewhat haunted by their semi-final thrashing last year and are looking to atone. Will it increase their ferocity and give the Bulldogs their second bruising contest?
Will the Dogs' positive Gabba record - four wins from their past five visits - have any effect?
How important will a fit and present Ryan Hargrave be for the Dogs given the form of the Brown-Fevola combination?
The Lions didn't struggle against the Power and were fresh in the legs after a nine-day break. The Dogs were bumped, bashed and bruised by the Hawks and will have a few sore boys to take on the trip north. Im taking the lions +6.5 (-110 at betfair) for 1 unit and brisbane lions ML (+116) for half a unit, also from betfair.
As always best of luck with your wagers guys...Now lets make ourselves some more $$$

Round 4 late night AFL action here..Sydney V Nth Melb 4/18 (12:50amET)
Fellow gamelivearians,
Welcome to Round 4 afl action for this weekend...Please enjoy the write-up and may all ur bets be winners
Sydney, sitting at 2-1 after 3 rounds have made a solid start to the season. Sitting 4th, coach paul roos (rumoured by many to be his last season as coach) would feel adequate about where his side is at at this stage of the season. Solid recruiting after last season has already paid off, with former Hawk Ben McGlynn and ruck duo Mark Seaby and Shane Mumford making smooth tansitions into the lineup.
The Roos had a disastrous first two weeks, but led by their skipper Brent Harvey managed to put the Eagles away at Etihad. Harvey rebounded with 44 touches, after attaining just 5 possessions the week before. Both Roos ruckmen are in the top 13 in the league so far this year, so watch for the battle of the big men.
North's Todd Goldstein, an up and coming ruckman is starting to show what he is capable of. The 21-year-old has fewer hit-outs than number-one ruck Hamish McIntosh, but has more disposals around the ground. Has laid 12 tackles in three matches, which for a ruckman deserves respect and speaks well of his work ethic when he doesn't have the ball.
For the swans Mark Seaby is clearly enjoying the responsibility of leading the ruck in his new Swans colours. The 25-year-old is coming into his prime as a ruckman, and the figures reflect that - sixth in the league for taps, and with eight tackles to his credit. Just two goals so far, but look for the Swans to use his marking power (13 in three rounds) and accurate left foot alongside fellow new recruit Daniel Bradshaw to stretch defences.
Can the Swans keep it rolling along? Two convincing wins, and a narrow loss to last year's grand finalists, suggests they can.
Will the Roos continue their form from last week, or will they slip back into the horror show that was round two?
In conclusion this year the swans have come back and shown themselves to be a team that can score - 13 is their fewest goal tally this year, and that against the stellar Saints' defence - they should continue that against a young Kangaroos outfit that will work hard, but lacks the Swans' class. My pick this game will be for the swans -16.5 (+100, sportsbet) for 2 units as i really believe the offensive pressure throughout the middle and forward line shown by the swans will be the telling factor....

For those wanting late late night action its aussie rules time once again at 2:40am
Ok guys, here it is. Cats (Geelong) V Dockers (fremantle). Enjoy the write-up
Fremantle’s fantastic start to the season should ensure a close-to-capacity Subiaco Oval for the round three clash between second and fourth on the ladder.
After tearing Adelaide a new one in the opening round, a new-look Freo chalked up its first Victorian win in three years last week when it took out Essendon. Still, it hasn’t beaten the Cats at home since round 5, 2004 and has lost seven straight against Mark Thompson’s side.
Geelong, also undefeated after two rounds, will have 24 hours less to recover after a bruising encounter against Hawthorn on Easter Monday. The reigning premiers however again showed hunger isn’t a problem as they clawed back from a four-goal deficit for the second straight week. The Cats beat Freo in the west during the pre-season and - having won their last six matches at Subiaco by an average margin of 52 points - will be confident of maintaining their record over the men in purple.
Fremantle tagger Ryan Crowley didn’t endear himself to Geelong supporters at Skilled Stadium a couple of seasons back - or to Gary Ablett’s teammates - with his close-checking tactics on the Geelong superstar. On Sunday Crowley can again expect a run-with role on the Cats’ maestro - who is eager to atone after what he felt was a sub-standard 38-possession game last week.
Shannon Byrnes has become a crucial element of the Geelong forward line. His emergence from fringe player to genuine danger man has been all the more important given the early-season absence of Mathew Stokes and Travis Varcoe. Byrnes also likes the open spaces of Subiaco, booting a career-high five goals against Freo on this ground last year.
Aaron Sandilands has been in dominant form in the opening two rounds of the season. Can Brad Ottens and Mark Blake curb his influence and allow their star midfielders first use of the ball?
Fremantle’s young guns have been terrific in the opening fortnight of the season but Geelong’s bigger bodies proved the difference against Hawthorn last week. Will the lighter frames of Barlow, Hill, Morabito and Ballantyne cope with the hardened Cats?
In conclusion suspensions and injury have closed the gap. Should Chris Tarrant’s ankle not be right it will hurt Fremantle, while Matthew Scarlett and Cameron Mooney are out for the Cats. It is likely to again come down to the middle. Sandilands’ influence will be critical, but Geelong’s band of elite midfielders might just get it home...
My pick here is geelong -6.5 (-108) risking 2units..GL here guys and lets collect some cash from this
