Toby Greene’s latest transgression shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.
The usual suspects will take the field this weekend for the first round of the AFL finals. Think: Joel Selwood, Scott Pendlebury and Dustin Martin.
For ten teams the 2019 season is dust but all is not lost. The post season brings a sense of renewed hope and a clean slate for next year.
As we head into the business end of the season there are a few clubs that have footy pundits talking about certain narratives.
It was a coach-killing loss. The whole club needs a clean out. John Worsfold needs to show some raw emotion and look more invested.
Whether you have realised it or not, we are now watching a new generation of AFL footballers who can kick goals like Tony Lockett, mark like Wayne Carey and gather the ball like Robert Harvey.
There’s four weeks remaining of the 2019 regular season and we can safely start to look at some of the teams that won’t make finals.
After last weekend’s 86-81 win against a revamped Roos outfit, the Bombers are 9-7 and have scraped inside the top eight. It’s appetising to think they are a team that is on course for post-season football.
After meticulously deconstructing the Giants last weekend, I’m now convinced the Brisbane Lions have what it takes to go deep into September and be a blue chip contender.
If the Saints want to take part in finals action, their 2019 campaign needs to shift gears dramatically against the Roos in a do-or-die encounter this week.
