I think the saying was meant for GWS – “anyone anywhere” because they had won games at 11 different venues this season.

After years of blowouts and shockers, do we finally have an AFL Grand Final worth watching?

I’ve often thought the Brownlow voting should be changed from a “midfielders medal” to something fairer, because as umpires they are exposed to more action in the centre.
What you said about having two independent individuals voting at every game has much merit – something has to change!

Could Daicos' return backfire on the Pies? Five burning questions ahead of AFL preliminary finals

Premiers, “six as a player, two as a coach”, should be four as coach.
I know Ron Barassi was all for innovation and breaking new ground, but a night Grand Final is a step too far.
Tradition is big in our game and tradition says Saturday afternoon is the right time for the biggest game of the year.
The AFL’s desire to put commercial incentives first should not be allowed to over-ride public opinion.

COMMENT: It's time for the AFL to immortalise Ron Barassi - and only one prize is worthy of his name

Bugger off! I’m a Pies man and I won’t classify that as a loss because they have learnt a valuable lesson from this experience.

Footy Fix: ANOTHER Magpie magic act sinks the Power - here's how Collingwood pulled off their greatest heist yet

Are you really a Port supporter?

No way! Port is a very good team and didn’t give up all night. Tight as.

I disagree – the end of season bye is one of the best innovations the AFL has made in quite a long time.
It allows teams to have a full compliment of players to choose from and stars to be cherry ripe for the big games.
It’s a long, hard season and most players welcome the break.
It’s unusual for the league to get anything right, but this was one of their best moves.

Too damn complicated – we want less rules, not more!

Any kick going through the goal posts at any time scores the maximum 6 points!

I’ve been a footy follower for 65 years and I’ve never seen a worse gang of incompetents than we have in the AFL at present!

Just get rid of cameras altogether and make every touched ball a goal, no questions asked.

Six Points: The coach killer to end all coach killers, and why score review system will always be imperfect

As I’ve said before (quite a few times) this controversy (and the technology involved) can be fixed simply by a change in scoring rules so that the ball passing between the goal posts is a goal whether it touches anything or not!

More flexible, less predictable.

I think it’s about time something was done about goal scoring.
We would not need ARC if every ball kicked over the goal line is a goal whether it touches the post or a hand on the way through, as is the case in most other sports.

Six Points: The ARC got Petracca 'touched' call spot on, and the Matildas lesson the AFL must learn

Yes, they would hopping mad if they lost those games!
