  Last Week           2/2           Season Total      141/208 The decks have almost been cleared now for the ultimate reason we go through a whole season of footy matches.   There is only one hurdle to clear, the Grand Final and then we can get on with the real media circus, which is the Trade Period.   I jest, but sometimes it does feel that this is the only thing that the AFL media really care about as the Grand Final winning team gets about 10 minutes of clear air for stories before it all gets bogged down with player movements. It’s been a busy week so let’s go through it all.   Firstly, the Preliminary Finals, or as I refer to them, The Peoples Finals were absolute gems.   The clutch goal by Hayden Young on the three quarter siren which gave Fremantle the impetus to get up for the win was a cracker.   Then we were treated to ...

  Last Week           1/2           Season Total      139/205 The semi finals went very predictably (he says, even though he only got one of them right).   Both teams who put in poor first week performances bounced back in two almost identical games where very fast starts were had.   In Brisbane ’s case, Adelaide mounted a little bit of a comeback, but it sputtered out quickly and Geelong were good enough to hit the front before Luke ‘The Unicorn’ Jackson snuffed out all hope.   I asked A.I. to give me an artists impression of that last statement and it produced this, which was pretty good I thought, on short notice. I make it sound like it was easy but getting A.I. to produce that was painfully troubling.   The horn seemed to be the sticking point (pardon the pun) with it almost never being on the forehead.   It put the horn o...

  Last Week           2/4           Season Total      138/204 The first week of finals really threw the series on its head.   The unstoppable juggernaut of Fremantle this year were stopped…well and truly.   Here in the west this opened some old wounds for Freo supporters as they had seemingly been waiting for this to happen.   There has been this groundswell of excitement building all year, but it has been tempered by the “We know the inevitable” feeling that supporters have feasted on for 30 years.   They need to dare to dream.   Yes, it comes with disappointment but let the emotions flow.   Then Sydney made Brisbane look second-rate.   I thought management came out and said they torpedoed their season.   Well, it seems the best defense against a torpedo is Big Cox.   Perhaps the navy should look into that. ...

Last Week           1/2           Season Total      136/200 Spare a thought for Collingwood supporters.   I mean don’t linger on them or feel sorry for them, they are Collinwood supporters after all.   But if you thought of your clubs equivalent to their weekend, you’d be shattered, wouldn’t you?   They lost their match after a miss after the siren which ended their season, the outright second longest serving player, Steele Sidebottom retired.   Then, they would have woken to the news that the greatest champion in club history is moving to the Gold Coast, without so much as a goodbye and then later that night, their bitter enemy, Carlton won their match sending them past them into the finals proper, having won less regular season games than them and being coached by a former Collingwood champion!   Personally, I can’t think of a worse we...

  Last Week           5/9           Season Total      135/198 The season has run its course and it’s now time for the cream to rise to the top.   But who will that cream be?   A number of upsets last week as some teams didn’t try and others had to try hard.   The AFL should ask themselves, is it better to let clubs do what they want or better that they demand clubs play players and watch the clubs not try, because they don’t want to get injured and bench their star players for large portions of the match and lose by 10+ goals?   It wasn’t a good look in my opinion. The round culminated in an emotional match between Sydney and North Melbourne and as with all things footy, a win cures everything.   The news cycle all but stopped, the pressure is released and suddenly it’s like nothing bad ever happened.   That’s also not a good...

Last Week           6/9           Season Total      130/189 There is a lot that could be said this week what with the goings on at Sydney.   I won’t dive into any of that as I’m pretty sure you can find out more than I know from the many other sources available.   Needless to say, what were they thinking?   I’d say they weren’t thinking and I’ll leave it at that. Last week we had two draws which I’m 100% sure no-one had put that scenario into the ladder predictors!?   Not only that, but Collingwood and Hawthorn drew for the second time in the season with Dylan Moore again holding the fate of the match in his hands after the siren.   People will tell you the chances of that happening are some large number to one, but if you work out the numbers officially, you’d be surprised that it works out to be reasonable commonplace.   The fac...
