New rules this year. Still a $1 Million prize.
Men's and women's are worth equal and points are allocated in reverse ladder order (1 point for 18th, 18 points for the premiers)
So North Melbourne women's can go undefeated again but will still only be worth 18 points.

Does it automatically go to John Longmire?
Has Carlton improved enough to award it to Michael Voss?
Where does Geelong have to finish to give it to C.Scott?
Have Fremantle shown enough consistency for Longmuir to take out the award?

Essendon are considering whether to bow to the woke agenda and replace its 'war time' mascot with...
RIP to an amazing singer!
Whilst in the Aus sporting landscape she is better known for the NRL promotionals, her music is aligned with one of the better acting efforts from AFL players (those west coast hungry jacks ads are legendary!)
Neutral supporters on bigfooty... Who do we think will win the flag?
Personally I think this game will be a tough contest for the first 3 quarters but ultimately Geelong by 4-5 goals. Will be very hard for the Sydney backline to contain Geelong for the whole game.
No need for the Hawks to even turn up. A 100 point loss will benefit Hawthorn as they will get a better draft pick.
Let Naughton kick 16 goals... Blues will melt if Curnow doesn't won the Coleman.
Dogs by 105 points
Admirable streak. However after getting touched up by Sydney they now face a desperate Carlton. Lose that and they will face a Vic side in the elimination final.
The aura of invincibility is gone. I'd be surprised if they win another game for the season. McRae should still get coach of the year...
Clearly the swans are clearing the decks for a major play at Dusty.. but back onto Buddy...
Age wise he fits Geelongs profile but they have Hawkins/Cameron.
GWS?
Norf have the cash... But would he play for Norf?
7-news even suggested the pies or Richmond...
What a shit year already.
Gun all rounder could bat bowl and field.
RIP big fella.

If results go as expected there will be 2 games and percentage between 7th and 8th placed Collingwood after 5 rounds.
Would any of the current top 7 drop out? They all look in decent form.
You would have to suspect Bulldogs would win enough to get in the 8... Outside of the dogs... Hard to...
.. given that McGowan has abandoned any plans to open the border anytime soon. I havent heard of any contingency plans by the AFL.
Round 1 could be a derby in WA, also the round after the bye could be in WA (if they are allowed back)
Or too early to start thinking ahead?
