@ACT-Crusader said in AFL 2020:
It’s a little surreal seeing the ladder and the Saints are 3rd. We were outplayed by Collingwood but the pre-lockdown North game, and the Freo game we should never have lost.
It's such a topsy-turvy season, and at the moment no result would shock me. Adelaide probably should have won on the weekend, and North looked pretty good too.
I genuinely think the GF winner will be one of Brisbane or West Coast, and it will depend solely on where they play the finals. A large parochial home crowd will be such an advantage in a close season. Plus the season-long hub life will take it's toll on the Melbourne teams IMO.

AFL tipping is a bit of a nightmare. Teams are up one week, and then down the next. There is no consistency in form at all.
Whoever wins this season is going to earn it.
I can't wait for the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the Vic teams when they say how disadvantaged they are by not getting to play finals in Vic

@barbarian Gerard Whateley said something funny last night, the West Coast Eagles will probably join the Clive Palmer High Court case you keep the WA border closed!
They are in a strong position.

I had a bet on them at $13 after they lost their third straight game in the hub. Feeling pretty good about that now.
I'm relatively new to following the AFL closely, and the media swings so wildly based off each week's results. A team has two bad games on the trot and they get a week of ex-players and hangers on calling for everyone to be fired/dropped.
It was GWS last week, Richmond are in that spot at the moment, same with Hawthorn. But they string a few wins together and they are in the 8, or in Richmond's case in the top 4. It's just empty talk to fill airtime.

And the roller coaster continues
Richmond absolutely hammer the Dogs, who had been going alright. It was one way traffic last night, and Dusty pretty much did what ever he wanted. The Dogs' defensive structure completely fell apart.
Big game tonight. If Melbourne play like they did last weekend they can beat Port, but this short turnaround might kill them.
I have an 8-leg same game multi on. It's multi madness over this run of games!
-
Melbourne were appalling last night. No effort, and just dominated by Port. It was veeeery ugly.
Port are bloody good though, they have some good players, and play a good style to watch.

@Kiwiwomble it's okay, no matter how much you suck, Adelaide are worse.

@mariner4life ...see thats the shit we'll just come out and disprove!
-
The Swans don't really suck though. They are fun to watch. Missing a bunch of their best players they are still going hard every week. Papley is a gun, Rampe and Mills are great, guys like Aliir, Blakey and Florent are developing well.
@barbarian of course and i know...its just been a bit rough to watch

The Dogs' defensive structure completely fell apart.It's frustrating to watch. Good to see Damien making the call to dump under-performing players. Thankfully despite the injury list, we can call from a pretty handy VFL squad.

Prestia , Edwards , caddy , houli , vlastun , Astbury, nankervous currently unavailable , but was good to get the skipper back. Had 10 players under 30 games .
Have some exciting young talent , some like balta are making a serious claim for a permanent spot .
Probably head into the game against the lions with a younger more inexperienced team , they are in great form And building nicely, I think the goal is to try and keep in touch with the ladder and hopefully make a late charge when back at full strength if it’s not too late .

Liiiiooooonnnnnsssss!!!!

Crazy season. I think any team that makes the 8 will fancy themselves a chance to win the flag. There is just no consistency week to week from anyone.
How good is Buckley making Eddie look like a loud-mouthed fool, again. And predictably Collingwood slumped again yesterday. Out of the 8 now.
-
Saints have turned it on in this final quarter.
@ACT-Crusader ...yeah...good for them
