AFL season 2017 Predictions...

AFL Analysis
Women on the Frontline

Woof Woof Woof
As the final siren sounded on Saturday afternoon a nation embraced and celebrated for the Western Bulldogs.

The Brownlow-Matthews convergence

The prelim final tipping point
When your team makes it to the final four, that should be considered success, right? Instead, it’s footy’s equivalent of a Rorschach test.

When sporting franchises attempt to jump codes
Can you imagine a sporting world where Rugby League supremo Phil Gould would be leading an A-League football club? Or how about Venus and Serena Williams turning their hometown NFL franchise into a mega Tennis club? If you answered yes to both questions, then you are not living in dreamland but you are firmly placed in reality.

Catwalk to a premiership
Having missed the finals in 2015, Geelong is a win away from another grand final appearance. The change in their schedule is a big reason why.

Goodbye Finals Bye
Footy fans don’t often strongly agree, especially approaching the business end of the season but the decision from the AFL to stage a ‘bye round’ between the end of the home and away season and start of the finals series has done the impossible. Fans from all eighteen teams can agree, this idea was another poorly thought out, knee jerk reaction.
