AFL 2024

Just watched some highlights there. That 50 not paid with 40 seconds left was a disgrace. In saying that, fuck the roos with their dodgy free last week that got them the win. But thats another game now with a big lead they couldnt hold on

By God.

That’s one of the best games ever played. Like the 1989 Grand Final except the comeback succeeded.

Hill is fucking electric.

Geelong’s victory over Carlton eight weeks ago to go 7 from 7 a distant memory now as Carlton are beating them out the gate tonight, and more and more pieces of the Blues jigsaw are fitting into place. 132-75 the margin.

This is around the point of the season where the real Premiership contenders start to be separated from the pretenders. Carlton are contenders, they will finish top 2, Geelong won’t make the top 8. Geelong have grown old in the space of a few weeks. They’re done as a force for now at least.

Carlton look the goods. I wouldn’t be convinced by Swans at the G and the rest are making up the numbers. Special mention to Brisbane. Lachie Neale is an absolute weapon and that was a statement win in SA.

The Sydney Swans’ long winning streak is over. They’ve been beaten 98-99 by Fremantle at the SCG.

It had been coming, this was the third time in recent weeks they’d left themselves a significant deficit to overcome and this time they were edged out despite getting level at 97 each. Logan McDonald missed everything with a kick after the siren to win it.

The Gold Coast Suns playing true to form here against Collingwood. They’ve won their seven home games and lost their seven away games.

This one’s at home at Fortress Carrara Oval and they lead the Magpies 83-57 at three quarter-time.

If they win this we’ll have six teams tied on 32 points in ladder positions 7-12. We could even have seven teams tied on 32 at the end of this weekend.

Dwayne Russell on Nick Daicos - “he reads the Sherrin like it’s a train timetable”.

16 in it now. Last two set up by Daicos. Can the Magpies come back from the dead again?

That’s a lovely goal, right foot right on the boundary on right hand side. Well taken

Suns being steamrolled

HONREAL by Daicos! Daicos and Bobby Hill are the best players to watch in footy. Goal of the Year contender.

4 in it!

Collingwood are BOX OFFICE.

Krueger nails it! 88-89.

PIES PIES PIES!

“They’re the greatest show on earth, Collingwood!”

Plastics back in front with a byooo-tay.

94-89. 3:30 left.

Suns look to have resteadied and will take it from here

Like Nickarus, the Magpies flew too close to the Suns.

Damien Hardwick instilling some fight into the plastics who have never qualified for the finals in their history.

That was a good game. Suns doing well at home, if they could win away theyd be right in contention

Monsoon weather at the G for Geelong v Essendon. If Geelong don’t win this their season is surely done after winning the first seven.

If the Bombers win it it means they’re guaranteed to stay ahead of Collingwood even if the Pies win next Friday’s showdown.

Geelong 105 Essendon 60
Adelaide 94 GWS 78

Uh oh time for the Bombers. They’re showing signs of falling away at the wrong time. Hard to see them get anything out of Collingwood next Friday.

GWS are a limp, plastic blancmange of an outfit. They’re done.

First blood to Zach Merrett on Anzac Day II. Collingwood have been cruising for a bruising of late and the Bombers look very purposeful early doors.

Some game this. Collingwood went out to a 23 point lead and now Essendon are back to within 3 points, 46-43 with 7 minutes of the first half left.

Essendon’s shooting letting them down again like against Carlton four weeks ago. They’ve shot 6.10 to Collingwood’s 8.4.

They should be winning this.
