The Lions are at it again with the bad loss 1 week turning into a ridiculous win the next week with a mauling of the Hawks who still seem midfielders or 2 short of the upper-tier teams but have a better defense and forward line then most at the same time so are a tricky...
ST KILDA v CARLTON AFLW GAME ANALYSIS
AFLW is back and first up we had the Saints and Blues. The Blues have recruited well on top of an already very good list and have continued with their North Melbourne-inspired and clean handballing and marking game and seem the biggest threat to the Roos with other usually contending teams losing vital players over...
AUSTRALIA v IRELAND WOMEN’S GAME ANALYSIS
It’s always good to see the AFLW on its way back and this International Game seemed like a great idea on paper at least. The game was solid but we definitely saw the specific strengths of each team and in Ireland’s case, it’s weakness, that being the ruck situation. Playing on aground a measly 130m...
FREO/WB + STK/SYD + CAR/BRI GAME ANALYSIS
A mixed bag today from 3 different games where the Dogs defended but in the end were overwhelmed by Freo, the Saints again played 3 great quarters of footy before losing to the Swans and the Blues unexpectedly took the Lions to the cleaners. Today we look at: Bulldogs Us Their Numbers Dogs Missed Handball...
COLLINGWOOD v GEELONG GAME ANALYSIS
Unfortunately for the Pies, injuries to key players just keeps adding up with Perryman, Lipinski and Howe being added to the likes of Moore, Maynard, Elliott and Steene and the closest returnee from that list is stated as 2 – 3 weeks away and you can make a case that West Coast beat them this...
GWS v SYDNEY + BRISBANE v PORT ADELAIDE GAME ANALYIS
After some patchy Sydney form and the inconsistencies of GWS, I thought we’d win this one but still needed some convincing and that came from the Giants playing non-contact for the first quarter and a half which looks good for the Swans, but with a soft underbelly to our game and even softer draw remaining,...
MELBOURNE v GEELONG GAME ANALYSIS
Not 2 teams I usually get around to do many clips on but with 3rds finished for the year I have Friday nights back to watch that game properly so I did. I actually picked the Dees and thought their chaos game could throw the minorly-injured Cats off just enough to win and they very...
ADELAIDE v COLLINGWOOD GAME ANALYSIS
The Crows’ up and down season continues as the does the Pies rise up the ladder. The Pies record at Adeliade Oval is really exceptional considering how good Adeliade and Port have both been in recent seasons and they did it again Thursday night, albeit with a very different team than most of those past...
WEST COAST v BRISBANE GAME ANALYSIS
In the Brisbane Game Style package I made up based on Brisbane’s play from the 2025 season, 1 of the games I took a deep dive in was against the Eagles back in round 3 where the at the Gabba, the Eagles got off to a flyer with a 5.2 to 1.1 scoreline at quarter...
COLLINGWOOD v CARLTON GAME ANALYSIS
I went along to this one live Saturday night and the natives for both teams were certainly out and about. The Pies have been playing a game much closer to their 2022-24 style after I assume deliberately playing a very much slower, boundary-biased version early in the season with an ageing list. The Blues have...
