Statisticians banned from footy betting
The AFL's official statisticians have been banned from betting on games as the league continues its crackdown to protect the integrity of the sport.

Champion Data staff have been warned that punting is off-limits for the first time because of the rise in "exotic" forms of betting.

Mark Stevens reports in Melbourne's Herald Sun that head-to-head punting based on players' total disposals has become increasingly popular, meaning the statisticians' figures have the ability to make or break gamblers.

There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by the AFL's statisticians, but the league has moved to tighten control of the area after a major stats-based controversy in the NRL – more ...

Kangaroos complete coaching line-up
North Melbourne has finalised its coaching staff for 2010 with former Collingwood utility Shane Watson and dual Wangaratta Rovers premiership coach Jason Lappin joining the club.

Sportal on Friday reported that Watson will fill the role as backline coach, while Lappin comes in as development coach, joining Darren Crocker (senior assistant and midfield), Brett Allison (forwards), Glenn Archer (specialist) and John Lamont (development) on Brad Scott's staff.

Crocker, who filled the role as caretaker coach when Dean Laidley left the club mid-season, remains the only member of the coaching staff from 2009.

Premiership stars of Geelong will start later
Some of Geelong's biggest names won't begin pre-season training with their teammates until 2010.

Ben Broad reported on Friday for the AFL webpage that the reigning premiers are eager to ward off any mental or physical fatigue after three seasons at the top of the AFL tree.

As a result, they will give many of their stars an extra-long post-season break.

That means elder statesmen such as Darren Milburn, Matthew Scarlett, Cameron Mooney and David Wojcinski are unlikely to be required to train at the club in any official capacity before training resumes in January.

Geelong has been a grand finalist in each of the past three seasons, meaning the bulk of its stars have started their pre-season campaigns later than their rivals.

The Balmain Dockers announced Friday that Jason Saddington will play and also have a key coaching role for their season in the Sydney competition in 2010.
Saddington brings great experience to the Dockers. He played 162 AFL matches (135 with Sydney 1998-2005 and a further 27 with Carlton 2006-08).
Balmain continues to bring together a competitive squad for the upcoming year.

West Coast ruckman Dean Cox has made a seamless return to pre-season training this week, but key youngsters Luke Shuey and Eric Mackenzie have had their 2010 preparations interrupted by surgery.
Nathan Schmook reported on the AFL webpage that the Eagles' full squad was assembled on Tuesday to launch the summer program, with Cox, who is returning from a serious groin injury, joining in full training and finishing the session with a series of 1km runs.
Mackenzie also trained with the main group, but the defender will have shoulder surgery on Wednesday that will sideline him until late December.
Shuey had minor surgery for a hernia on Monday and is expected to resume his program in two to three weeks' time.

Hawthorn's website confirms former North Melbourne player Jesse Smith has commenced pre-season training with the Hawks at Waverley Park.
Smith’s management hasn’t given any indication to Hawthorn as to his intentions ahead of the 2009 AFL National Draft and no commitment has been made by the Hawks to the player.

Expected windfall fails to arrive for Kangaroos

North Melbourne is poised to announce another annual profit, but says the pot of gold from new stadium deals will not be as big as early estimations.

The Kangaroos are undergoing a final audit that will be released in coming days, and while the profit is modest the club will end the season in the black.

Victorian clubs were led to believe they would receive $100,000 a game in back pay this year from all Etihad Stadium games under a new deal, but that has not eventuated.

While clubs that played 10 MCG games will receive $1 million to top up their coffers, Kangaroos chief executive Eugene Arocca said the Docklands deal was not so generous.

"We unfortunately only played one home game at the MCG and we only get $100,000, and we don't get $100,000 a game for the games at Etihad in 2009. It is nowhere near that amount," he said. "It's not as inviting as we were led to believe but it is what it is.

"We are grateful for the fact the stadium deal has been resolved, but there is no major windfall that I can see for any club in 2009."

Arocca said despite a year in which the results were modest and long-time coach Dean Laidley moved on, the financial results were solid.

"It ain't going to be a huge one, but we will make a profit," he said.

The Kangaroos are also set to spend $800,000 more in their football department budget next year.

Blues promote Robert Harvey to new coaching role
Former St Kilda AFL stalwart Robert Harvey has been promoted into a new coaching role with Carlton.

The Age reports Harvey, who last year served as a development coach, has been elevated to the assistant coach’s position.

He will work alongside Mark Riley as midfield coach, joining assistant coaches Brett Montgomery and Matthew Lappin as part of the Carlton coaching panel under senior coach Brett Ratten.

Matthew Capuano, who was a part-time ruck coach in 2009, replaces Harvey as full-time development coach. Carlton’s pre-season campaign started on Monday.

Dockers expect Dodd to return mid-season
Fremantle's Steven Dodd faces a long road back from shoulder and wrist surgery, with the defender bracing for a mid-2010 return.

Nathan Schmook on Monday reported for the AFL webpage, Dodd, who played all 22 games in 2009 and finished 10th in Fremantle's best and fairest count, had the two joints on his right arm reconstructed in the off-season.

The 26-year-old joined his second and third-year teammates on day one of pre-season training, with Rhys Palmer, Ryan Crowley, Michael Johnson and Des Headland also making early returns.

But while key midfielders Palmer and Crowley are on track for round one next season, sports science manager Jason Weber said Dodd wasn't likely to play until round 10.

Sydney Swans embrace Saturday afternoons
The Age notes the Swans will play one less game at ANZ Stadium and increase the number of Saturday afternoon games at the Sydney Cricket Ground next season.

Sydney will play 11 home games, eight at the SCG and three at Stadium Australia, including a round-one showdown at Homebush Bay against 2009 grand finalists, St Kilda on March 27. The reduction in the number of games at ANZ Stadium from four to three comes as development of a new western Sydney-based club is stepped up.

The Swans will play four Saturday afternoon matches at the SCG – against Richmond, West Coast, Fremantle and Hawthorn – starting at 2.10pm, after 2009 games in that timeslot proved popular.

Carlton could provide discarded St Kilda defender Matt Maguire with an AFL lifeline, according to his former teammate Robert Harvey, one of the Blues' assistant coaches.
Adam Cooper reports for Fox Sports, Harvey, who has been promoted to a full-time assistant coach after serving last season as development coach, said Maguire could be invited to train with the Blues in the lead-up to the national and pre-season drafts.
Maguire, 25, was delisted recently by the Saints after failing to add to his 99 career games in 2009 despite overcoming serious leg injuries.

For the first time since 1983, North Melbourne will not play a *home* match at the MCG next season – they had only one this year and in 2010 will play three as the *away* side against Collingwood (R7), Richmond (R16) and Melbourne (R22).
To balance the ledger the Kangas will feature in 13 matches at Docklands, 11 as the *home* side, and two *away* fixtures.

Carlton to top up Fevola's salary
Tony Sheahan reported in Melbourne's Sunday Herald Sun that Carlton's stormy relationship with Brendan Fevola will continue for another year, with the club admitting to paying some of his 2010 salary despite off-loading him to the Brisbane Lions.
   Fevola signed a three-year deal to join the Lions, believed to be more than $700,000 a season.
   "It's a very small portion of his wage, let's leave it at that. It's not half, that's for sure," Blues CEO Greg Swann said.
   The exact figure remains confidential, but is understood to be a five-figure sum – more ...

Finals played during the last five seasons (2005-2009):

Geelong has not only been a winner; it has also smashed some opponents; five of its nine victories have been by 50 points or more
By contrast, North Melbourne has been a victim; three of its losses have been by 80 points or more
Adelaide has been on the losing end in the main, but two of its wins have been by 80 points or more, and four of its losses have been by 10 points or less
Adelaide is the only club to have participated in all five finals series during the period
Western Bulldogs have also suffered; by contrast Hawthorn has made much of its appearances.

Finals played during the last 10 seasons (2000-2009):

Brisbane dominated the first half of the 2000s; Geelong dominated the last three seasons of the 2000s
North Melbourne continues to be the downtrodden; five defeats by 50 points or more; four defeats by 80 points or more; two by 100 points or more. Remarkably, both its wins have come the week after a 100-point belting
Adelaide is the most frustrating team; most finals series; not one Grand Final appearance.
