not the point really but the creeping use of "could of" instead of "could have" in quasi-official social media statements is a shocking decline in popular literacy
Wouldn’t mind if the afl brought in some sort of curtain raiser round that counted for points before round one. Something that helps compete with the northern states’ battle against rugby. Doesn’t have to be all the teams. Just enough to steal eyeballs
You’ve got to kill Geelong multiple times to beat them. Relentless, particularly at home. Brilliant and disciplined effort to come back and win.
I would say - the AFL needs to look at not having OR teams playing non-OR teams, particularly on the road in round one.
Freo out on their legs most of second half. Great game of footy all round.
They should extend the wild card round. Include 7 through 12 and then 13 through to 18. Throw in the top 6 and have them rotate opponents for 24 rounds. Then the best 8 can play off in a knockout format.
