We can finally sleep well knowing the dogs have stopped barking! For a week at least.

Market Talk

Collingwood has a dilemma on their hands with young gun Jaryd Blair turning in a fantastic performance on the weekend which will surely push his credentials for a spot in the team come finals time. Along with Adelaide’s Kurt Tippett, both topped the biggest gainers list for the week. Players that were in sides that received hammerings, Richmond’s Matthew White and North Melbourne’s Lindsay Thomas were this week’s biggest losers. Both players’ share prices dropped by around 40%.

Three big Victorian clubs were this week’s biggest winners. Carlton, Collingwood and Hawthorn each asserted themselves in the top 8 with fantastic weekend victories. On the other side of the spectrum, the Western Bulldogs and Fremantle’s losses have brought both clubs back to earth and to the top of the biggest losers list.
