AFL Beat 2024 – Round 7

We have only one unbeaten team left STILL! Geelong was able to hold off Hippo’s Blues to remain the sole unbeaten. GWS is still hot on their heels with only the one loss from last week. Surprisingly, so are the Swans. Let’s see what happened.

Notes and Comments

The Burning Question from last week was: Are Hippo’s Blues the real deal? Well, the jury is still out. True, they lost to Geelong but they made a valiant effort to come back and if it wasn’t for some inaccuracy, they might have won. The answer is a Definite Maybe.

Congrats to Spammy for a perfect week of tipping! 9 for 9 is not too shabby. Luckily, the rest of us didn’t do too badly and are keeping it close.

The Essendon-Collingwood draw was kinda fun to watch. Some people are calling for some kind of OT for the regular season, but I like the beauty of the draw. It’s so rare. It also kept Essendon in the Eight and will be important when it comes to determining who makes Finals

It is really crazy to me that Brisbane only have two wins the entire year. WTF happened to them? Last year, they barely lost the Grand Final by 4 to Collingwood and now they can’t win a game. Collingwood is not doing that much better. They only have 3 wins and the draw.

How bad is North Melbourne that the greatest coach in the modern era (Alastair Clarkson) can’t get one win with them?

If you haven’t become a member of a club or signed up for the Watch AFL app, you can still watch the games in the USA on either FS1 or FS2 and in Canada on TSN. Showtimes can be found here on the Australian Football Association of North America website.

Don’t forget to put the Footy Tips in!

See you next week!

Balls somehow lost his bio and didn't realize it. He's now scrambling to write something clever and failing. He likes butts, boobs, most things that start with the letter B, and writing in the Second Person. Geelong, Toluca, Barcelona, and Steelers, in that order.

they get the atmosphere just right, even if Hippo no comprende (though it does give me empathy for how all y’all must read Hippospeak).

The Giants destroying Brisbane without Toby Greene (suspended) and Stephen Coniglio (injured) confirmed for me that the Lions are bad and GWS is legit. Still concerned about ruck/midfield play and the Swans are always a tough matchup so this is a big week.

I suppose I should just be happy that Essendon didn’t shank that last kick inside of two minutes completely and got the single point they needed for the draw.

King Hippo

Glory to the Proletariat, half-assing it through this fine May Day!
