AFL 2023

Equalisation works!! the bottom three on the ladder have won 7 of the last 10 flags, and now they are languishing.
Richmond are cooked. They got themselves up for three quarters last week and it look like it nearly killed them
Interesting ladder. Collingwood in first at 6-1 but a percentage of only 117. The Cats on 7th at 4-3 have a percentage of 135.
It's a weird season. Seems pretty even through the top 10 or 11. The bottom 5 are very poor -
Richmond can't score goals and it's not just an injury issue either.
Still, it was a marvellous few years.
-
Richmond are a now a mix of older players in decline and kids with very little experience and the jury is still out if they will be any good anyway .
Falling off the cliff very quickly .
-
suck shit Carlton
other games happened too
-
Dermie reckons the top 7 are settled. They won’t finish in the current order by season end but will all feature in the finals.
So that’s the Pies, Dees, Saints, Lions, Port, Cats, Dogs.
Then he reckons 5 teams will fight it out for the final spot - Blues, Freo, Bombers, Crows, Swans. He was pretty down on the Swans even being in this bunch.

i would drop the Dogs from the certainties to the maybes
And drop the Dockers to the definitely not making its
-
three teams in this league absolutely suck, and are really distorting the ladder.
Collingwood are a game clear at the top after strolling past the Giants
Melbourne and Port filled their boots against the reserve grade sides
Brisbane took an awfully long time to get past the Bombers
The Tigers aren't dead just yet (though Geelong had a lot out)
Adelaide punt Carlton out of the 8, and show up St Kilda at the same time
Um, serious alarm bells in Sydney now. Losing at home to the previously ordinary Freo is huge -
-
being branded in the papers as a filthy racist for 6 months with no end in sight will probably do that
-
yeah okay what the actual fuck AFL? This comp is all over the shop
Port beating Melbourne isn't a huge upset, but the way it happened was weird
The basketcase, coach-less North losing to Sydney because they had too many interchanges, and the spot the FK was paid was inside the 50m is the weirdest end to a game i can remember
Remember last week when Adelaide were good?
The Tigers implode to let the Bombers beat them for the first time in a decade or some shit
I think we can all agree that Hawthorn suck. So how the fuck did they beat West Coast by 120 points?
Lol at Carlton -
That North v Seans finish was bizarre. North should live had a free kick just prior to that whole thing for a clear high shot.
I hate the Swans and Longmire is the whingiest coach in the AFL.
-
@ACT-Crusader what do you mean?! everyone loves the swans!....we're everyone's second team
-
@Kiwiwomble don't listen to him, he hates every team he has seen win a flag
because the he's never seen the Saints do it
-
The greatest injustice in a prelim final. No report and he played in the grand final.
-
little tap to the belly
toughen up mate
-
...yeah he's punched him, should have been called...but also looks pretty soft one...not toby green kicking people in the face kind of stuff
-
Just saw a rumour hardwick quits the Tigers tomorrow
-
@mariner4life @Kiwiwomble you’re kidding yourselves. Bazza was an amateur trained boxer. I used to see him down at St Kilda training doing his boxing. That’s no love tap coming from him. McGuire was one of our toughest hombres.
And confirmed that Hardwick is goneski. Heard from a reliable source that it’s been a likely scenario that he wouldn’t finish the season but a few things happened recently to bring it on.
-
Well done Dimma ,
Took over the tigers when they were a rabble, described as the worst team since Fitzroy,
had to rebuild the list during the compromised draft,
Then after a 37 year drought , won 3 premierships , not even Richmond supporters saw that coming ,
Technically their second best ever coach after tommy hafey .
-
So Hardwick goes, incredible.
He was half sacked when Richmond kept coming 9th. Got retained, changed the assistants, and suddenly Richmond were the dominant team in the league. Three flags is an awesome return.
If i could go all Bruce McIvaney for a second
You just feel it all went wrong when he did the dirty on his missus don't you?
