The stars align for the Cats in 2021: A premiership is coming
Between 1983 and 1991, Hawthorn played in eight grand finals, winning five. In 1990, after seven grand finals in a row they battled injuries…

Love AFL, not interested in any other sports really. Have attended a dozen or so grand finals in my life, none of which I have had to pay to get in. (Work that out yourself). Collingwood tragic and member.

Why every finals team can win the 2023 AFL premiership... and why they can't
Any chance Kevo they leave Cameron out?

Kingsley has done an awesome job with GWS. Fly just pipped him for the Pies job.

The last time Pies played Melbourne they were missing Oliver. Pies were missing De Goey, Sidebottom, Jamie Elliott, McStay, Howe and Ginnivan. Nick Daicos will be missing but the inclusion of the others will give us a completely different look. If conditions are good the Pies link runners through the middle should be too quick for the Demons. If it’s wet and/or windy it could be a very tough night as they have some big inside mids and Gawn of course. Cameron has been carrying an injury I believe and needs to lift. The two weeks off should have helped. If it’s dry, can Coxy replicate his 2018 final heroics?
De Goey looks ready to go and our diverse forward line of the hard working Mihocek, Cox/Cameron/McStay rotation combined with the mercurial Hill, Elliott and Ginnivan could be tough to match one on one.

Congratulations Don. Enjoy!
The Eagles' first Pick 1 this century is worth more than anything they could trade it for - here's why

Will be quite the different side in the QF.

How many goals did Charlie get from the two West Coast games? He should buy them a few slabs for the off-season surely Pope?

Agree pope Angela seems a bit Daicos over loaded
Wings take flight, 'flat out error' on Dusty, veterans snubbed: Winners and losers from the 2023 AFL All-Australian team
Peter Daicos must be unbelievably proud. Imagine seeing your two sons in the starting 18 of an AA team? Can’t we use science to create a few more Daicos clones? The difference in the two is most non Pies supporters would not realise Josh took a good couple of years in mostly VFL to get going. I recall talk of him being surpassed by Callum Brown. Callum and Tyler also of course have done so well to play at the highest level but this is amazing to have two brothers lining up AA.

There’s some deal for combination AFL and AFLW wins I believe

Interesting reading Carlton supporters trotting out the same excuses for a non important game they’ve been blasting Pies fans for over a month 😁

A great achievement by Fly to get us to the top of the ladder. In his own words, the new season starts in a couple of weeks.
Win 3 in a row would be the dream
Footy Fix: Jack Ginnivan just sealed a finals spot - and he might be the Pies' September secret weapon
Isn’t the biggest story that Adelaide should be in the eight? Denied by error.
Footy Fix: Don't be fooled - the Dogs avoided disaster, but they're still an utter shambles in every way

Attracts a lot of jealous haters young Jack so must be doing something right.

Lions in the box seat ranked first Melbourne ranked second. Doesn’t mean Collingwood and Port can’t win it. Outside the 4 of Carlton win it I’ll leave Melbourne and go bush for a month with no internet
Forget the ladder - the Lions have never been further away from a flag
Well, the Cats are out so why not send your stars off to surgery ASAP? Will still put up a show for Dogs though. All the pressure on them.

Great luck for the Dogs with all the Geelong stars out. Likely Carlton v Dogs elimination

Who’s your pick for the flag Chris and runner up?

Pies will bring in Hill and DeGoey possibly Carmichael or debut Ed Allan.
Cox will ruck more with Cameron more forward.
In: JDG, Hill (Carmichael/Allan)
Out: McReery, (suspension), Murphy (injured), Ryan (concussion)

2016 was a fairytale flag with certainly the rub of the green from the umpires but he also followed up and led the 2021 GF by 19 points in the third quarter. They looked to have that premiership before Melbourne went completely berserk.
Has Luke Beveridge made the most of the Western Bulldogs' talent, or is he all smoke and mirrors?
He hasn’t got a lot to do now but revisit the 2022 GF again Kevo. Too much time on his hands I guess.
