Mental health is always a big talking point in the AFL and unfortunately over the offseason we reached new heights.
The first round of season 2019 is in the books – here’s my pick of the best 22 from Round 1, plus emergencies.
Friday night footy is back, and we should have a good one to kick things off.
It’s that time already. A truncated preseason for this column is no excuse for missing out on the whacky science of pre-season predictions.
It’s been 173 days since Dom Sheed etched himself into football folklore and secured the West Coast Eagles their fourth AFL premiership. Tonight, we start the whole song and dance once more.
This week’s award for ‘television network that has consistently missed the mark’ goes to Channel Seven.
After one of the most memorable finals series ever and a bevvy of controversial rule changes, Australian rules football is finally back on the big screen.
Between two euphoric victories and one lifeless disaster, Melbourne had everything fans would want and not want from a finals campaign.
The Thursday night game between Richmond and Carlton – although finishing as expected – served up a number of milestones.
Like any AFL nut in desperate need of a new hobby this off-season, I eagerly awaited the release of the 2019 fixture.
The early reports looked bad.
The Geelong Cats had one of the best line-ups to ever play the game from 2007-11, but there’s no reason to believe the current back-line will be better than the one during the golden era.
Rance, Doedee and now Vickers-Willis- a horrible start to 2019 for defenders.
The GWS Giants are flying after Round 1 – the Bombers, not so much.
The Saints have claimed a one-point victory over the Gold Coast Suns after a thrilling finish.
It’s not too good to be seeing this in the first round of the AFL season.
There are three minutes left in the grand final. Collingwood have been hanging on for dear life for an hour now, but a ticking clock has tightened their grip on the premiership.
