The long and short of it is Brian McGowan stood at only 165 centimetres when he played for South Melbourne as a second rover behind triple Brownlow Medallist Bob Skilton, whereas Darren Jolly was an extremely athletic 197-centimetre ruckman who played for Sydney.
It’s understandable why the AFL wants a shorter and faster format like other sports. They have to keep up with them and not get left behind.
Port Adelaide follow in the footsteps of the Adelaide Crows, naming both star midfielder Ollie Wines and key defender Tom Jonas as co-captains.
I should start by saying that I’m a fan of the NRL first and only a casual fan of AFL, so all of this is from a relative outsider’s perspective, but since part of the reason for the existence of the AFLX is to convert people like me, I feel I’m in a good position […]
The punchline to every current joke about the AFL can be boiled down to memes involving a bemused Gillon McLachlan alongside circus performers at that infamous AFLX 2018 launch.
It seems rather astounding that a game designed for the purpose of fun and enjoyment has received such extensive – well rather – serious criticism.
We reach the halfway mark of the 2019 AFL Women’s season this weekend, and after three rounds there has been scathing criticism of the fixture, with all the teams in Conference A proving to be stronger than their Conference B counterparts.
It was an AFLW round filled with one-sided outcomes, and the top teams in each of the conferences made their stamp on the competition. Here’s my take of what went down and what it means for the rest of the season.
In November, 2018, I put out a series of twenty articles (with two follow-ups) detailing the seasons in meta-review form for each of the eighteen men’s teams in the Australian Football League.

I could never understand why I disliked Carlton so much.
When Nick Vlastuin plays his fourth game for the Tigers in 2019 he will lift the bar to be a member of the Tiger’s top-100 game players to 121 games and cause the exit of William ‘Bustling Billy’ Barrot and Graeme Landy.
Few things in a footy fanatic’s life compare to the excitement and anticipation of opening round.
Gary Lyon has declared on SEN that Collingwood is the team to beat in 2019.
As I was thinking about writing this piece this morning, I ventured into a newsagency.
Ever since reading Moneyball in the early 2000s, I have been preoccupied to varying degrees to try and quantify the various elements of AFL football.
After two rounds North Melbourne have set the pace for the competition, but this Friday night they will get a serious test of their credentials when they face the Western Bulldogs in Launceston.
With the first two rounds of the AFLW season done and dusted, results are already an indication of what can be expected from the rest of the season.
