Notes and Comments

Adelaide looked really good again, this time against Essendon. They might be the most improved team in the competition.

Collingwood pulled off a good win on the road against the Doggies. They have a good solid base and I think they will go far this year. Definitely in the Eight and then who knows?

The Sydney Swans rebounded nicely from the rough start to the season. That was a huge win on the road against Fremantle. They rest this week but then they’ve got a stretch of games coming up where they could make up some ground.

The Geelong loss was not as big as Tom Stewart’s injury. Early indications are that it’s not that serious. However, the Cats have not fared well when Stewart is not in the lineup. They need him back and healthy.

Next week we get another 8 games as both Sydney and Collingwood are on bye. Geelong and Brisbane were supposed to also be on bye, but they are making up their game that was postponed due to Cyclone Arthur. Ironically, there is a TON of rain forecasted for game day in Brisbane.

Congratulations to Sharkbait for staying in first place in our Tipping Pool! I am anxiously awaiting the BFC Boots in the Ground post from his adventures Down Under.

If you are a member of an AFL club or you got a Watch AFL membership, you should be able to watch every AFL and AFLW game, including replays. Game times vary between Australian afternoon and evening, which actually makes it easier for us in North America to watch as the games can be seeing in the evenings on Pacific Time and early mornings on Eastern time.

If you haven’t become a member of a club or signed up for the Watch AFL app, you can still watch the AFL and AFLW 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. But I do recommend that you join a club. It’s fun and they send you free shit.

See you next week!
