    Jumper clash fails

    Jesus buddy there no need to be rude. It’s nothing like cricket at all. Yes, there is the offside rule, but they still tackle each other, and more importantly they still throw interceptions. There is no excuse for such a jumper clash.

    Jumper clash fails

    NRL game on tonight is a disgrace.

    Hawthorn and Brisbane finals quirk

    How about this for a stat. In an 18-team competition with a final-8 there should be an average of 5 teams winning a final in any given year. It can be as low as 4 (if both Qualifying Final losers go out in straight sets), or as high as 6 if both Qualifying Final losers bounce back in week 2. On...

    Hawthorn and Brisbane finals quirk

    Hawthorn OR Collingwood have played in 28 of the last 55 Grand Finals. Yet they have never met each other in any of those Grand Finals. (or any Grand Final ever for that matter)

    Autopsy AFL 2026 Round 5 - Port v Saints Sun April 12th 7:15pm AEST/ 6:45pm (AO)

    Just saw Phillipou's interview. Seems like a cool level headed guy. Project Hail Mary is good

    Strategy What should the AFL do with gather round?

    Exactly. The media have fallen in love with it and by extension the public has too, despite there being NO genuine reason to even have it. I've never seen a good argument for why it exists. It's good for the S.A economy, sure, but that's not the AFL's responsibility. It further compromises and...

    Have Richmond passed North and west coast

    They get no criticism or scrutiny, this mob. Maybe it's the three premierships they won that seem to absolve them of any criticism whatsoever. They still have six 30+ year olds on their list too (for comparison, my team has just one, and West Coast has three.)

    Fixture 2028 fixture, 19 teams

    It's weird how we always think that more content is better and worth more to broadcasters, and the AFL falls into this trap with the prospect of now expanding to a ridiculous 24 games in 2028. In the U.S, the three major sporting leagues are the NFL, MLB and NBA. MLB broadcast deal (each team...

    Fixture 2028 fixture, 19 teams

    There is a way to keep it at 23 matches each with one team playing 22 that kinda works. Bottom team from previous season doesn’t compete in Gather Round. Bottom team after second-last Round has BYE and only plays 22 games After everyone has played 22 matches, nine teams will have played 10...

    MCG game 2026

    Why am I worried about accidentally sleeping in on the day of the game? It's going to be weird going to 10:30am Football game.

    MCG game 2026

    I was 7,000 in queue initially. I think it's a bit of a lottery, so I seemed pretty fortunate. Got tickets at 10:12:am. Got Q11 row G for $350.

    Gather Round: Who will have to give up a home game from 2028 onwards given that you can only have an even number of matches in a 19-team league?

    The AFL should have told the S.A premier "Sorry, I know it's great for your states economy, but it just doesn't work in a 19-team league. It's like trying to fit a sqaure peg in a round hole"... but they're going to extend this stupid, pointless round for another 5 years anyway.
