I don’t think there are any stand outs, even Cuntingwood

I haven't really been watching them, but they seem to have had a few comfortable wins, including Lions at the Gabba

Oldest average team in history too

There were calls about their age before their last flag tbf, same with the Cats, although Cats did play the Swans. It will be interesting to see if we get a Pies Lions grand final rematch this year

I’ve got
Lions to win the comp on three apps. Some performances this year have me worried though

yeah like drawing with North Melbourne lol. Though they are the type of team who will likely go on a good run heading into the finals

I haven't watched AFL in years. Used to like it as a kid.

But the scores the last decade have gotten lower and lower. These days you see a lot of games with a winning score of 70-80. When I was a kid, scores were like 160-120 etc.

Is it because of the flooding and defensive tactics and is it getting more boring/ugly to watch? Be keen to hear your guys thoughts.

Obviously attendances and ratings are still high. But the low scores are pretty worrying.

Swans went from on the cusp of a title to also rans very quickly

Massive win for the hawks last night.
Keeps us in the 8 for now.
Hopefully the only doggies loss this week!

Were WB in the 8 before the game?

Crows Lions should be a belter

Dogs were 9th but would have jumped above us with a win.
Crows next week another big game

They've had a tough run of late. I reckon they'll make top 4

 

[EHBulldog]

Crows aye.. good win

Gonna be a very tough opponent for the Hawks

Yeah they are playing well.
Lions should have won but couldn't kick straight in the 4th.
Its down in Tassie so we're a sneaky chance to at least keep it close

 

[chemdog]

solid swans win leading into the bye, hopefully they get some players back after the bye to go on a run and make the 8

 

[EHBulldog]

if they don't beat Port, that should should seal any chance of sneaking into the 8.. I dunno what the heck is going on with Port this year.. they had that good win over the Hawks and it seemed like they'd build off that.
