Round 1, 2009, Essendon lost to Port Adelaide
First Quarter: the Losers' shortage of enterprise, which was compounded by a lack of interest and vision, gave observers reason to manage their credit with severe caution. The Winners took moderate risks that placed undue pressure on their competitor's unsustainable running of their business and forced analysts to give them credit for the gain.
Second Quarter: taking advantage of the low interest of their competitors, the Losers increased productivity in the initial exchanges with their systemised operations. The Winners exploited their low overheads and unrealistic targets during a contraction of their margin and managed to regain their significant advantage by minimising productivity.
Third Quarter: the Losers capitalised on the recession by increasing their investment in industry to manage their deficit despite the lack of vision, ingenuity and rampant excess. The Winners lent a small fortune to the uncertainty of their creditors with a loss of interest in their enterprising schemes and the surge in their competitor's gain.
Fourth Quarter: many observers gave the Losers credit for their decline in productivity at the board-level which increased the demand for greater output from their targets. The Winners gave their creditors continued confidence with the advantages their shared intrerest in primarily individualistic goals sought to gain, and did gain.
Fifth Quarter: the Losers faced questions about their trading in insecure targets and attributed their loss to the loss of confidence and lack of options, which creditors bought. The Winners gave their creditors a performance that added value to the perception of future gains, which amounts to a loss, after the real value is factored in.

Australian Take
Any time Port beats a Vic I'm happy! I'm even happier when they knock the Crows off their perch on the boundary fence at home in Adelaide!
You're making my eyes water, and I'm off to read the other Rounds - I know it will be 'win some lose one' but I can take that, as I'm a loyal Port supporter.
