Round 1, 2009, Collingwood lost to Adelaide
First Quarter: contrary to the gloomy forecasts, the Losers suffered an unexpected deficit that required a significant investment in industry to rectify. The Winners showed the benefits of heavy industry and a positive outlook with strong figures registered but only ineptitude on the board cost them greater margins.
Second Quarter: a sudden upsurge in the Losers output and cost-cutting across the board gave them renewed confidence after posting excellent returns for their investment. The Winners were suddenly held to account for their expenditure and found their sectors had less room for profit which served to reinforce their belief in industry.
Third Quarter: the Losers continued the trend of reaping excellent dividends from their limited investments and at one stage had large gains but couldn't secure their advantage. The Winners returned moderate results in a foreign market and only recorded a small loss which amounted to breaking even after looking like slipping well into arears earlier.
Fourth Quarter: the predicted slowing down in output was largely responsible for the Losers loss of efficiency after they posted an unexpected loss, to the disdain of their investors. The Winners experienced a continuation of their meagre returns for a high level of productivity and in the final analysis were rewarded for their industry.
Fifth Quarter: the Losers suffered the scrutiny of an investigation into the productivity of their key stocks and lamented their lack of industry when the opportunity to capitalise presented itself. The Winners showed the benefits of giving credit to their competitors and rightfully viewed their small margin as a large gain.
