As predicted, this was a banger, literally coming down to the last seconds of the game The Dess had early control but did not convert then Geelong got the run on to be leading 50-22 13mins into the 3rd quarter in what looked like a game-winning lead. From that point until 3/4 time, the Dees...

Team-by-Team: Eagles – a disastrous season got even worse with Ella Roberts now missing all of next season more than likely will bring in some experience and will have to challenge Painter to do the work and become a full time mid Hawks – had a cushy last 4 games to the season that has...

The home-and-away season and finished and its finals time! They really need to go to the wildcard set up in AFLW which actually makes sense in a competition with just 12 games and not playing everyone once but that’s a discussion for another day. Cats – ended up scoring the most points ever in an...

A bit of different tact today looking exclusively at the center bounce battle in the St Kilda/Port Adelaide game. Over the season the Matlida Scholz leads the league in total hit outs with 321 and is only behind by .1 in hit outs per game. Port as a team is 4th in total clearances and...

Team-by-team: Kangaroos – a +10 for inside 50’s gave the Roos field position dominance in this one that was just enough to overcome being down at half and 3 quarter time Crows – gave it to the Roos at contest but beaten by 38 in uncontested possession is the fine line in wet conditions Hawks...

Team-by-Team: Suns – for the 5th best defense they sure are leaky as a team unit which comes from the mids possible getting too offensive all at the same time and they’re winning games almost purely on offense but it’s a great difference compared to teams trying to keep scores low deliberately to stay competitive...

A round of rainy games for the most part in AFLW this week which can end up with some differing scorelines to the norm. Everyone won who should have, but in far closer games then most would have predicted. Power – didn’t dominate in the usual area’s they do but were willing to maintain possession...

Back in round 2 of the 2026 season I came across a new-ish tactic being used by the Swans more so than anyone else but it is also an extension of what the Lions have been doing for a year or 2 now. Here’s what I posted back in March this year on “the most...

Team-by-team: Giants – a top 3 win in their history or least the last 5 years and managed 20 scores from just 32 inside 50’s, showing rare connection at that end of the ground by moving the quicker than Wales could get back and become an intercept marker from the ruck position Hawks – I’m...

Team-by team: Lions – some definite game play alterations in this one (+24 handballs, +21 disposals, -7 contested possession, +29 uncontested possession, +7 marks all v season average), albeit too late to save the season Power – 1st in hit outs and 4th in clearances but blast kick out of there repeatedly + last for...
