Love AFL, not interested in any other sports really. Have attended a dozen or so grand finals in my life, none of which I have had to pay to get in. (Work that out yourself). Collingwood tragic and member.

Underrated contributor Murph. Allowed Darcy more freedom. Josh Eyre could be the next into the back 6 if his body holds up.
AFL News: Pies flag hero announces concussion-forced retirement, Larkey confident North can turn season around
The impressive thing with the Lions is just how well they play the G. They won’t mind coming to the ground in finals. Just need to stack the wins against lesser lights and will be a force this year yet again. Look at the Cats in 23, just keep contending deep each season and the opportunity to pounce will come

I’ll take the win against a side who will still be thereabouts at the pointy end and loving the work of Billy Frampton showing old fashioned one on one defence . Go Billy.
Footy Fix: The worst grand final rematch ever just proves the Pies have slightly fewer problems than Brisbane
At 0-3 and facing Brisbane at home it’s going to be about trying to square the ledger and push for a spot in the eight. Mathematical calculations of top 4 won’t even be in their thinking.

The interesting challenge for Fly will be to keep the positive happy vibe going . A lot easier when you’re winning.

Impressive win by the Blues up there, can’t see the Lions losing up there very often.

Cats toying with shock switch for All-Australian defender: 'It can only benefit the team'
Nice read thanks Liam. Missing all the footy articles. Mihocek is a beauty. Plays his role and a great teammate. Coxy seems to still be getting better, started late so can play to a ripe old age I’d say.
The not-so-traditional pathway of the Rookie Draft: Top 10 stars who have used this route to success in the past decade
The rapid fall of the two Grand finalists of 2022 opened the door to the 2023 flag. The Swans made it, just, but hadn’t much in the tank. The Cats were the bigger story in dropping completely out. Which of these two will bounce back? Both maybe. Grundy and Adams, if he stays fit, will certainly be a big addition to the Swans. Both offer great inside work, essential on the tight Swans ground.
Does John Longmire's 'all-in' strategy shift suggest it may be his last two years of AFL coaching?
Personally Don I admire your unshakable support of your club. Feels like I was copping a bit in here when I first joined but stick fat and your time will come.
Will Dockers come to rue lack of trade activity?
Thanks Mr Right. Was certain another heartbreak coming when Cameron put them in front with 5 minutes left! We finally won a close GF.
'The level of delusion is something else': Eddie McGuire's defence of his disastrous coaching succession plan is ridiculous
Lions are a brilliantly put together team. Maybe need one more key intercept. When Frampton kept Andrews quiet it felt Lions were missing another option such as Pies have with Moore and Howe.
AFL Trade Period power rankings: Super Swans, Docker shocker, and the best deal in Gold Coast's history
Bombers are coming for sure. Pies have a few issues. Darcy Cameron having a great season, Moore had his best game yesterday but a few players are down. The biggest include Jack Crisp, Jeremy Howe and Steele Sidebottom. Bombers smashed us in the centre and this remains an issue. Fly defended Steele as playing a role that’s not necessarily rewarded. Not sure what but he was back a lot. Wing spots needs to be heavily involved in chains. Steele such a smart player maybe he should be more forward again.
