    Yeah you lost the game because your interchange steward couldn’t count to 75.

    Welp, Dockers got absolutely throttled by Giants. Shouldn't have wasted time watching that this morning.

    No clue. It has been very ugly though.

    Dockers got a strong result over Bombers. Never know what to expect from this team.

    In other news, holy shit is West Coast bad. Swans absolutely embarrassed them!

    Anyone watch this round’s Lions-Demons matchup? One of the more entertaining games I’ve seen. Competent football going back and forth is something I’ve yet to see from North.

    Collingwood is just so fucking good at their ball movement from end to end. Once they get possession it seems like their whole team just streams upfield.

    Collingwood's ball movement is not just a tactical advantage; it is an art form that showcases the beauty and creativity of the sport, earning them a well-deserved reputation as masters of the game.

    North are an absolute train wreck. They have been rebuilding for 6 years and are still bang average.

    Been awhile, but Grand Final Friday night on FS1 for any casual fans out there: Collingwood vs Brisbane, which I think has been virtually inevitable for a few months now. Lions are maybe the most talented club, but Magpies play the best attacking footy. Looking forward to watching how they both work defensively to slow down the other team.

    Somehow Brisbane has the lead. One of their players was just stripped of their jersey in a fight.

    Lions are cooler than magpies. We can all agree with that.

    I'm watching Gogglebox Australia this week and their showing them reacting to the Grand Final.

    Good times

    This season is shaping up as one of the most even in a long while.

    Some great games on today.

    Collingwood vs Port Adelaide
    Carlton vs GWS
    Brisbane vs Geelong

    Surprised at all these results, TBH. Collingwood's surge past PA was wild, and based on their respective form so far, not at all expected IMO. And I know Geelong has been playing well, but holding Brisbane to sub-40 points is fucking WILD (especially at the Gabba). And I was not sold on Carlton until this match - I feel like GWS has been the strongest side I've seen, and to see Carlton stand up late against them was impressive.

    The Brisbane vs Geelong game was played in driving rain all night which made it hard to score. Geelong are generally a very good wet weather team.

    I was thinking the same - currently the most wide open season I can remember in many years. Finishing Top 4 is going to be critical.

    I started really diving in to AFL about 4 years ago, and every year I read about how "this is the year the Cats' will hit the cliff" re: the age of their list.

    Not only has that been not true, but they seem as strong as ever. I haven't been a fan long enough to know all the ins-and-outs of how they do it, but whatever they are doing it's fucking brilliant.

    Brilliant player management. Whereas some clubs look to 'top up' to try and pinch a premiership when they think they have a chance, Geelong seem to plan way ahead and have ready-made replacements when their stars retire.

    Yes, they have a lot of older guys on the list, but they're all bloody damn good players.
