Live betting just might come in very handy this week guys......
Noticed that both Geelong and Doggies fell away badly in the last quarters after playing @ the dome the week before.
ALL players saying how hard the ground is and it takes longer to recover, so I ran some numbers...(ok I just checked last years results!
)
In the first 4 rounds last year.....
If we discount the round 4 clash between St.Kilda and Geelong who BOTH played at Colonial the week before.....
12 teams played at the dome and
only 2 won the next week! (Adelaide home to Geelong, and Port home to Carlton)
More specifically......only Port (in that game) outscored their opposition IN THE SECOND HALF!!!!!!!!!!
In fact in the 12 games, the teams that played @ Colonial the week before were outscored 98 goals to 65!!!!
The results seem to fall off after round 4 (Teams become more 'match fit' ??), but definately something to keep an eye on for the next week or 2
