There is no Maccas in Kybybolite, where Lachie Neale grew up.
Sydney's loss to Melbourne, combined with other results this weekend, officially means Adelaide would've played finals (and Sydney would not have) if the Swans-Crows result had flipped...

I’m so sick of seeing this stuff on every single AFLW post we make

.
A nice photo of all the first round draftees, and the most liked comment by far is a lazy, sexist joke, getting a bunch of likes from young guys, some of them not hiding behind private accounts.
2021 Mid-season Draft
Pick 1: Jacob Edwards, North Melbourne (delisted today)
Pick 2: Jai Newcombe, Hawthorn (polled 18 Brownlow votes on Monday)
Not ideal.
Nick Daicos polls a vote on King's Birthday for 15 disposals before being subbed off. 16th-best on ground per player ratings.
Josh Daicos does not poll on King's Birthday after a game-high 34 disposals and 7 coaches votes (second behind 3-vote getter Jack Crisp).
Surely not...
For the fourth time in the 38 seasons since it became possible, there are no Victorian teams in the V/AFL Grand Final.
2004 - Port Adelaide def Brisbane
2005 - Sydney def West Coast
2006 - West Coast def Sydney
2024 - Sydney vs Brisbane
@FOXFOOTY
We are guaranteed a repeat Grand Final match-up.
Swans vs Cats - first since 2022
Power vs Cats - first since 2007
Power vs Lions - first since 2004
Swans vs Lions - first since 1899
@FOXFOOTY
love to get the Norm Smith medallist as a father-son pick, and then get his brother who's supposed to be just as good after winning the flag. Just smart planning
There are nine possible Grand Final match-ups remaining. Which do you most want to see?
Sydney vs Geelong
Sydney vs GWS
Sydney vs Brisbane
Port Adelaide vs Geelong

The AFL needs to change the rules for draws.
The captains immediately go into the middle and play split or steal.
Both split: 2 points each
One steals, one splits: 4 points to the thief
Both steal: Play another full game immediately
BREAKING NEWS🚨
Jeremy Finlayson has responded to his 3 week suspension due to a homophobic slur by stating “the 3 week suspension has pissed him off”.
This was said on a segment called “offensive”.

Genuinely think there is a conversation to be had about banning player-specific bets. The way athletes get treated for something so utterly meaningless is so unhealthy.
St Kilda's best AFLW player Georgia Patrikios in a statement has confirmed her vaccination status - and, for now, remains on the club's active list.
Story 📝:
With Craig McRae set to win the Collingwood job, half of all AFL coaches will have either coached or played under Alastair Clarkson.
D.Hardwick, L.Cameron, A.Simpson, L.Beveridge, C.Fagan, B.Ratten, S.Mitchell, C.McRae as coaches, S.Dew as a player.
Reasonable tree.

Through the first 14 seasons with this finals format, only two teams went out in straight sets.
In the 11 seasons since, 11 teams have gone out in straight sets.

You don’t get vaccinated just to protect yourself.
You get it so EVERYONE is less likely to get sick. You get it so anyone vaccinated who still has extra risk (like me) is less likely to get it. You get it because it’s so simple to do and incredibly safe.

The fact that he bet on the specific margin and in markets he could personally manipulate... I'm staggered it's ONLY a ten week ban.
The amount of money involved is irrelevant.
Stephenson placed three bets.
Against Bulldogs in Rd 4, Essendon in Rd 6, St Kilda in Rd 9. Included legs on Collingwood to win, winning margin, Stephenson to goal, teammates to goal, teammates to have certain disposal counts. Total $36, all lost.

Gold Coast at home this year...
- 30pt win over Carlton
- 13pt loss to Melbourne, should've won by 2 on expected score
- 52pt loss to Brisbane, should've lost by 16 on expected score
- up by 19 on Freo at halftime
All against top 4 teams. Are they legit good at home?

Since the AFL went to 16 teams in 1995, only once has the team on top of the ladder after Round 1 missed the finals (Brisbane, 2007).

West Coast has earned the second wooden spoon in club history, following 2010.
Wooden spoons, AFL era
5 - CAR

2 - BB, BL, FITZ, GC, GWS, NM, RIC, STK, WC
1 - ADE, COL, ESS, FRE, WB
0 - HAW, GEE, PA
VFL/AFL record is St Kilda's 27.

No wonder you get stuff like that story of the private school boys chanting vile, sexist crap on a tram the other day. This problem isn't anywhere near being solved and it leads to worse attitudes towards women and it's such crap.

The Suns’ home-away split is utterly ridiculous.
7-0 at home, average win by 40 pts
0-6 elsewhere, average loss by 32 pts
They are 12 GOALS WORSE on the road.

Joins 2023 Geelong as only reigning premiers to be 0-3 in the AFL era.
Last team to be 0-3 and
Make top 4 - North Melb 2007
Make GF - North Melb 1976
Win flag - North Melb 1975
~10% of 0-3 teams since 2000 have played finals.

Brisbane matches two bids in the top 12 + trades for Josh Dunkley & Jack Gunston in the same trade period, because the points system is perfect and has no flaws
To play finals from here, Collingwood needs Port Adelaide to beat Fremantle AND either...
- St Kilda to beat Carlton by 151+ points, OR
- North Melbourne to beat Hawthorn by 157+ points
Neither team has ever won a V/AFL match by that much.
@FOXFOOTY
Such a shame that Steve Price keeps getting silenced. Anyway time to complain about a semi-pro, 5-year-old sports league that’s full of athletes who either barely got to play organised footy growing up, or are actual high schoolers, for no reason. In the paper.
