The GWS Giants are now just a regular AFL premiership contender

Three years of nips and tucks have eaten away at the Greater Western Sydney Giants’ playing list, to the point where there are concerns about depth. What people are really saying - even if they don’t know it - is GWS are now just like the rest of the competition. GWS had a near-three-year window […]

War chest a golden opportunity for Port Adelaide

News surfaced a few weeks ago that Port Adelaide is in the top-four teams in the competition for salary cap room, despite their 2017 recruitment spree that saw them net Steven Motlop, Jack Watts, Tom Rockliff, Lindsay Thomas, Trent McKenzie and Jack Trengove.

"I pulled up a little bit tight": Gary Ablett dismisses injury concerns

Gary Ablett remains upbeat about his pre-season progress, despite owning the most talked-about hamstring in the AFL. The Geelong veteran has a hamstring strain after suffering tightness during match simulation last Thursday. Given this is Ablett and he is 33, the setback has attracted considerable attention. But the two-time Brownlow Medallist is confident he will […]

I'm tipping Geelong to win the flag - and not just because of Gary

My favourite scene in the history of cinema is the climax of Raiders of the Lost Ark, when the Nazis open the Ark of the Covenant. What they find inside is so powerful, so next-level, beyond ordinary humanity that their faces melt clean off - the punishment of God for daring to look at something […]

AFL preview series: West Coast Eagles - 13th

West Coast made the grand final in 2015 off the back of an exceptional season implementing the ‘Weagles Web’, and the prospect was of greater things in the future.

Ablett hurts hamstring in pre-season training

Geelong’s return of their prodigal AFL son has hit a setback, with confirmation that Gary Ablett suffered a hamstring strain at training. Officially, the Cats say the injury is minor and he was never going to play in their first pre-season match, against his old club Gold Coast this Sunday in Townsville. But given Ablett […]

Eagles preach patience with Nic Nat

West Coast ruckman Scott Lycett has urged Eagles fans to be patient with Nic Naitanui, saying it will take the former All-Australian some time to regain his top form. Naitanui missed all of last year after undergoing a knee reconstruction, and he is yet to play a game this pre-season. The 2012 All-Australian is a […]
