Notes and Comments

This week’s Game of the Week is the very first game: Geelong v Western. It’s the Bailey Smith Grudge Match / Revenge Game / Derby. Basically, Bailey Smith forced a trade last off-season away from Western to join Geelong. His old teammates have not forgotten. The game will be quite heated, especially considering both teams are currently tied on points and in the Eight.

One could make the argument that the REAL Game of the Week is actually Hawthorn v Brisbane. That’s the reigning premier, #2 in the ladder, versus the current #4 team. It’s at the MCG, so I’m sure there will be a huge crowd.

#1 Collingwood should steamroll the North Melbourne Kangaroos. The Pies are truly the class of the league and I don’t see them losing too many games the rest of the way.

West Coast finally got a win! This was against the Saints at home and I take back everything positive I said about the Saints earlier this season.

What the heck has happened to the Giants?!? Reeling doesn’t describe it anymore. This season is quickly going down the drain. They need to fix their problems ASAP.

I have somehow vaulted into first place! Granted, there are four of us tied for first place in points, but I’ve got the tiebreaker advantage on margin. I’ll take what I can get. Everyone else is not far behind at all, so it’s a very exciting contest!

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!
