Collingwood vs Brisbane early in the year was entertaining, open, high scoring and very close.

As someone with an Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick 49er jersey I'm happy AFL players don't have names on jumpers!
As for selecting a team. Philly Eagles 2018 champs, West Coast Eagles 2018 premiers. It's meant to be. Jump on board! All you need to do is booooo
The Eagles are under consideration:

for the swans - rd 1 buddy vs the eagles was an absolute ripper. 1 player just totally dominating a game like Carey used to.
also swans v essendon was as tight as they come, and one of the best finishes you'll see

Gawn is definitely a beast. All day i was wondering who could stop him and the answer was "no one". Possibly the best game i have seen from a ruck man in years. really ruined my day ;-)
my thoughts are that the super coach scores are a general indicator of a good/bad game. they use Champion Data which takes into account every step the player takes in the game, instead of the generic kicks/handballs/marks. Having a lot of 1%'ers is very important and indicates a player who is willing to put his body on the line to see his team succeed.

Being an American, I was obligated to watch this one given the contribution of Cox.
Pies played their grand final that game against a team of gastro ridden Tigers.
This site is good for a snapshot of stats for each player and game played.

to get Champion Data, you have to subscribe i think.

I'm sure you felt a bit better in the prelim final
Gawn was either injured or just had a plain stinker.
You stop Gawn, you stop Melbourne.
yes i think the vardy/lycett combo learnt a lot after the first game. They tagged him out like they did to Grundy in the GF, great tactics.I'm sure you felt a bit better in the prelim final

Round 21 Port Adelaide vs West Coast - game which kickstarted our premiership run

AmericanAFL still think ya need to watch this one mate.
11 years have passed since this game but in terms of how AFL is played it's a life time.
High scoring, free flowing, physical footy with a battle of 2 of the last great FFs of all time. Something lost to modern footy.
There is still a large portion of us who wish footy was played like this still

I can still taste the salty Tiger tears. It must cut them up so bad that we ended their season and ended their MCG winning streak as underdogsKeep telling yourself that if it helps you sleep at night.
someone was bound to, I’m just glad it was us lol

The Essendon-North Melbourne game stands out for me as a spectacle. Great skills and two very determined teams playing attacking footy. It's always subjective though.
Welcome to footy
I’d recommend:
-Round 20 Crows v Port
-The 2018 GF (Pies v Eagles )
-Round 15 Crows v Eagles
-Round 21 Eagles v Port
My favourite game for 2018 would definitely be the 2018 GF.
Eagles looked gone for all money. They fought back from a seemingly insurmountable 5 goal deficit to go on and snatch victory in the dying minutes after the Pies eventually giving up the ghost.
It’ll go down as one of the best GF comebacks in the history of our game.

Tried to watch via roku today but my network was having latency issues, making it unwatchable.
Will definitely try again soon, thanks mate.

I picked up the Eagles in NFL simply because they had the same mascot as my afl team. You can do that as well....

It is most definitely a mark in West Coast’s favor.
Gastro ridden?? Gold! One player in astbury was crook. More like the prelim showed how quickly rich come back to the pack when dusty is not himself. Not to mention the fact that rance was forced to defend one on one and was owned yet again. Great zone off defender, not so great at one on one contests. The best was when de goey just dismissed him and marked on the edge of the goal square in 2nd quarter. Tiges are a very solid unit who depend so much one player to elevate them to another level. They were never going back to back - only great teams go back to back, and this rich list is not a great team

Very likely could have done without the gastro.
