That's All Folks!

COVID has taken it's toll, and our erstwhile blog author has moved on to other pastures. 

So whilst we look for another scribe we're afraid that there may be no more blog post for a while.

Round 11 AFL Preview

Saturday Port Adelaide vs Richmond @ Adelaide Oval - 16:35 A battle between two teams that have been performing better than most sees the Power hosting the Tigers at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon. Besides their loss to St Kilda, the Power have been taking all before them in their march back to the top of the ladder; they would have been very happy with Richmond beating Brisbane last weekend to give them a bit of breathing space in 1st spot! While the Tigers looked ordinary in their last loss, against the Giants three rounds ago, they have been playing a much better, high-pressure, brand of footy across the past few rounds. If both teams stay true to recent form, this will be a good match to watch! Port Adelaide by 13 points Brisbane vs W. Bulldogs @ The Gabba - 19:40 The second-placed Lions come up against the eight-placed Bulldogs at the Gabba on Saturday night. After Richmond doubled their score last round, the Lions will have only had a short period of time to wor

Round 16 AFL Preview

Saturday, September 5 North Melbourne vs Port Adelaide @ Metricon Stadium - 19:40 On Saturday night the second-last placed North Melbourne has the unenviable task of coming up against a Port Adelaide team that just keeps on winning, well, except when they play the in-form Cats! To make matters look like this is an even bigger challenge for the Kangaroos is that, across their last five meetings, the Roos have only won one encounter, but on the upside, that win was in Round 22 last season. With the Power playing a high standard of footy in 2020, you gotta go with them. Port Adelaide by 35 points Sunday, September 6 St. Kilda vs Hawthorn @ Metricon Stadium - 13:05 While St Kilda is just clinging on to their place in the Top eight after having lost three of their past five matches, they are coming up against a Hawthorn team that has fallen into a real hole over the past couple of months. While Hawthorn is leading the "five-game-head-to-head" stat, three to two, it is

2023 AFL GRAND FINAL REVIEW

 What a fitting finale to the season.  The buildup was wonderful, the parade was delightful, the pre-game entertainment was on point and the match itself was absolutely riveting.  Of course, all of this is now lost.  The AFL used to be great.  A team would win the big match and that success could be reveled in for months.  Here we are, merely two days after what was described as the greatest grand final in recent memory and the AFL top stories have already moved on to trade news.  Reading articles today, I’m wondering if the 2023 season even happened at all?  I often wonder what the point of it all is if the success can’t be enjoyed with a bit of clear space for at least a week.  It’s a bit like sitting through the visual delight of a Kiss concert and not seeing the trademark guitar smash…! The match was a pulsating display and certainly worthy of a great season.  With 10 lead changes during the game, the largest margin being 13 points and the result not a certainty until the final 1
