AFL Notes and Comments

I’m making the notes short and sweet because I’m writing this on Tuesday night (AGAIN!) and I’ve got to go to bed. Collingwood v Western was a GREAT game. Carlton has really turned their season around. We’ll see how this week’s Elimination Finals go for them…

As for the Tipping Contest, Spam is still 5 points ahead. Time to catch him is running out. Don’t forget to put the tips in!

AFLW Round News and Notes

AFLW is worthy of your attention. The girls are athletic, tough, and play a fun game to watch. It doesn’t hurt that many are drop dead gorgeous either.

North Melbourne won again last week and will probably win every game the rest of the season. They’re THAT good! It’s a question now of whether anyone ends up getting into finals and upsetting the Roos in an Elimination game. It’s not likely…

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!
