Sydney easily beat Melbourne and Collingwood and are sitting comfortably on top with the best % by a clear margin. There’s a long way to go, but their young players are just getting better and they are quick and the best kicking side in the competition. Tom McCartin is the only major concern at this stage, with Callum Mills and Luke Parker still to come into the side …
Footy Fix: The Dees prove they're legit - and show how they can overcome their finals curse
Also have their courageous Captain Callum Mills to return mid season. Everyone seems to have forgotten about him. An excellent, hard, versatile footballer. Hamling or Francis to come in for a hard to replace, Tom McCartin …
Footy Fix: The Dees prove they're legit - and show how they can overcome their finals curse
Swans will run the slow Blues (and Geelong) off their feet and cut through them with their sublime foot skills. 6+ goal win at the SCG. Who do Carlton have in the midfield to match Heeney, Gulden and The Chad, apart from maybe Walsh? Tom McCartin’s concussion is a big concern for him and the Club. Sad to see. He often doesn’t protect himself enough for a guy with concussion issues. He really should be wearing a helmet, though that wouldn’t have protected him from this last hit. I like Brown as a player, but he must go for 4-6 weeks for that action and outcome. It must be stamped out of the game …
Footy Fix: The Dees prove they're legit - and show how they can overcome their finals curse
Father Time always wins, and it looks like he’s finally caught up with old Lummox Hawkins. This won’t be the first game Geelong lose and I doubt they’ll finish top 4, especially when they have other top 8 sides to now play after a very soft opening draw …

Melbourne’s most dangerous goal kicker is a half forward flanker. That’s reason enough for them to only be a pretender, not a contender …
The key reason why the Dees are fake contenders - and how they can become a genuine one
Laura Kane is woke and has no common sense. Just another DEI (Didn’t Earn It) appointment to a position she does not understand nor have the experience to be in. She needs to go, and player weights need to come back. Don’t understand why this isn’t a bigger issue with footy fans? The woke media will just fall into line and continue to virtue signal to the minority. It makes the AFL an embarrassment for a professional sporting organization …
AFL News: 'Given it my all' - Crows great announces retirement, big-money Blue 'not hard enough'
Blows me away how much they’re paying a half back flanker, and for how long! If he wasn’t playing AFL he’d probably be working as a gardener or whatever, which is no disrespect to gardeners. $900,000 a year for an average half back whilst most people struggle to keep their heads above water is a disgrace. Really annoys me how much these guys are paid to kick a footy around, especially the ones who aren’t much good …
AFL News: 'Given it my all' - Crows great announces retirement, big-money Blue 'not hard enough'
I’ll never attend another game because of this. Plus the cringe Sweet Caroline I noticed was also played at the Gold Coast game, not just at the SCG. Just pathetic how Aussies so often have to copy cringe from the USA …
Six Points: Channel 7's commentary, the AFL's most underrated coach, and what on earth is wrong with a draw?
I just mute Channel 7 commentary now. Apart from Luke Hodge (and Joel Selwood), they’re all intolerable fools. BT, Richo & Brayshaw have all passed their use by date by many years. It was a pleasure to watch the Swans v Hawthorn game covered by Fox, who have much better commentary. Even Dwayne Russell, who I’ve never liked, sticks to calling the game. Channel 7 really should lose the TV rights over their clown world commentary team …
Six Points: Channel 7's commentary, the AFL's most underrated coach, and what on earth is wrong with a draw?
Umpires are too weak to call holding the ball 50 times a game, but are happy to kill a game cause their feewings got hurt by a bad word. I blame the woke AFL and equity appointment Laura Kane the most. They instruct these sooks …
Footy Fix: No, the umpires didn't gift Carlton the game - but Freo sure did
In order to defeat a good side, let alone smash them, a team needs to kick 20 goals, not 9 …
Footy Fix: No, the umpires didn't gift Carlton the game - but Freo sure did
9 goals doesn’t get the job done, Donny old boy. Still the same issue for the Haze, they can’t score. Sydney, on the other hand, average 100 points a game …
Six Points: Clutch kings do it again, footy's dirtiest player, and debunking 'Vic-centric' fixture myth
The Zombie thing was beyond cringe and totally embarrassing, and casts SA as a backwater, no matter how good Gather around was. Why do grounds feel the incessant need to blast loud music at patrons every chance they get? This for mine is reason enough to never attend another AFL game again. Why can’t they just give the supporters a break from incessant noise and gambling advertisements? The game should be enough entertainment for any sane person. And on this subject, Sweet Caroline at the SCG is pure cringe (why not an Aussie song if they have to play something), as are a lot of the songs the Lions players have for their goal celebrations, Country Roads being the worst. I wonder if Charlie has any idea that West Virginia is now a povery stricken drug hellhole? Probably not as these guys live in a huge bubble, which is why they have such terrible taste in music …

Whilst Freo struggle to kick 10 goals a game Sydney are averaging 100 points a game …
Footy Fix: No, the umpires didn't gift Carlton the game - but Freo sure did
That’s a big score, for the Purple Daze. 9 goals! 😂
Footy Fix: No, the umpires didn't gift Carlton the game - but Freo sure did
Parker “too hot and cold” ?? You must be talking about a different player. The Anvil rarely plays a bad game and is the heart and soul of the Bloods. One of the hardest, most respected footballers in the AFL, and obviously straight back in. Will probably play more forward now in his final years. Great hands and excellent kick for goal …
'Disproportionate reaction': Forget the doomsayers - Sydney's shock loss to Richmond means absolutely nothing
He doesn’t. He keeps playing that soft hack Hipwood. Fair dinkum, this guy would be a barista if he wasn’t 200cm. He’s certainly not an AFL footballer …
The problem with coaches staying too long: Will Brisbane have the courage to punt Fagan if they don't contend?
Rubbish. He was totally protected by umpires and commentators throughout his whole career and got frees “high contact” frees constantly. He also started sniping the older and slower he got, but got away with that too …
Umpires' anti-Ginnivan bias has reached a new low - it's time for the AFL to step in
A lot more free kicks need to be paid, especially for holding the ball …
Umpires' anti-Ginnivan bias has reached a new low - it's time for the AFL to step in
And ducking into tackles. And was rewarded for it every time. Never liked the Snake, now have to listen to him …
Umpires' anti-Ginnivan bias has reached a new low - it's time for the AFL to step in
Perhaps, but it’s got way worse this season. A Club had 75 tackles the other week with not one holding the ball decision! This has to be a deliberate instruction from above, because it’s just not possible none of these tackles were worthy of a free. The woke AFL is a joke. Just pathetic. Get rid of Laura Kane and Andrew Dillon. Just a coincidence it rhymes with Gillion … ???? . The AFL needs no woke, non virtue signaling male administrators who love the game back running the AFL before it is completely destroyed …
Six Points: Commonsense solution to score review influx, and why this star Tiger should get two weeks
Yep. One swallow doesn’t make a summer. The Swans were just off their game yesterday. It happens. But good luck to the Tigers, they deserved to win …
Six Points: Commonsense solution to score review influx, and why this star Tiger should get two weeks
Why they rarely pay holding the ball now is infuriating! It’s really slowing the game down and will cause more injuries. Quick frees move the game along, which is what we all want. I blame woke DEI appointment Laura Kane, who has probably instructed umpires not to pay holding the ball in case it hurts the feelings of the player being penalized. And don’t mention player weights, whatever you do. Or umpire weights … 555
Six Points: Commonsense solution to score review influx, and why this star Tiger should get two weeks
Wouldn’t get too excited about Richmond. The Swans were just off …

Calling them “journos” is a bit of a stretch … 😂
Massive overreaction to Sam Draper non-story proves players can't even enjoy harmless fun anymore
