  • 24 Rounds Done - We can smell finals!

    With the AFL trying to conjure a meaningful final round holding out till the last minute with the floating fixture, we were served a bit of a dud. But there's plenty to run through including:

    • North Melbourne are back! The highest scoring team and the Coleman medal winner (if you exclude goals against West Coast)
    • There's a very lucky side in the 8
    • Thoughts on the All Australian Squad
    • We look back at our ladder predictors from March. Some spot on predictions and some not so close

    • What an upset!

      Footy was the big winner this weekend with upsets galore! So much so that 1st played 2nd and it is about the 5th most interesting story. This week we dive right into:

      • The Buldogs suffered an awful loss - where to from here?
      • The goal review system has failed. Is it serving it's purpose?
      • Essendon were terrible
      • Is it the end of an era in Geelong?
      • Are the Swans the 7th best team or just very lucky?
      • Plus we look ahead to the final round of the home & away season

          • Can you smell what the blues are cooking?

          • A shake up in the Eight!

            An epic Saturday night contest between 1st and 2nd gave us a little entree into September. Along with this contest we dissect the round.

            • The top 3 teams on the ladder lose whilst there's plenty of movement in the bottom half of the 8
            • Carlton took a big step but did they get Collingwood at the right time?
            • The Bombers finals spot is now in jeapordy
            • North Melbourne now have a (losing) streak to rival that of the Undertaker at Wrestlemania. Should they get a priority pick?
            • Should the Dogs be travelling better than they are?

            • An Epic Saturday night and almost the upset of the year!

              An epic Saturday night contest between 1st and 2nd gave us a little entree into September. Along with this contest we dissect the round.

              • St Kilda and North Melbourne played a bit of a nothing contest, but there was a lot on the line in this Podcast rivalry game. We go right into this game and where the Saints and Roos are at.
              • How good was Collingwood's victory over the Power? Does it mean anything.
              • The Bombers failed a big test again - is their finals spot in jeapordy.
              • Again are Carlton back? Seb is pretty skeptical.
              • Thoughts on the Willie Rioli suspension
              • A few radical thoughts as to how to improve the game are scattered in there as well!

              • Getting down to the business end of the season

                With a couple of big 8 point games and a 6 point game thrown in for good measure, we are no closer to knowing what the first week of the finals will be. But we did witness some cracking contests.

                • The Dogs blew a golden opportunity to secure their finals spot.
                • Melbourne & Brisbane played out a classic at the MCG. What did dropping Grundy say about the Demons?
                • Geelong announced themselves as a contender and the Bombers failed a big test.
                • Port Adelaide threw shade by resting 7 players. In spite of this are Carlton now "back"?
                • A classic Sunday game today - the Roos are just awful.
                • A little bit on the Suns and Stuart Dew's departure.

                • AFL Ladder Predictors

                  With the race for the 8 heating up we've looked at the remaining 7 rounds and done our best predictions for how the finals will look.

                  • We called Adelaide's downfall but just how well are Essendon travelling?
                  • Geelong had a 10 goal win but is there a flaw in their game against the top sides?
                  • The Dees win but Tom wasn't impressed (but he was a little salty)
                  • Richmond's leadership was on display again
                  • Brisbane and the Power keep rolling - if only the Grand Final was played at the MCG!

                  • Which team is "back" this week?
                    The season is well and truly alive with 4 teams sitting a game or less outside the top 8!
                    A stunning finish to the Essendon vs Port Adelaide game
                    Richmond were back and now they are definitely not. Where will they finish in 2024?
                    There are woes for Melbourne but will their game style hold them in good stead come September?
                    Last week Seb declared St Kilda are a lock for the top 8 - what do we make of them after a narrow victory against West Coast?
                    Also, Tom makes it clear North Melbourne can't beat Geelong in Geelong this week.
