AFL

Beat Carlton. Beat Geelong. Beat Swans. Now beating the Demons easily.

Those are their last four games. Did they change somehting in the past month? Coz they're currently the best team in it.

If you have a kid/grandkid who loves footy, this is the time of year to take them. A single adult can take three kids to a game for the price of one ticket.

For me today, the adult ticket was $58. With two kids, that worked out at less than $20 a ticket.

Take your own snacks. Prices at the footy are actually offensive.

(Sorry Sydney fans) What an amazing finish by Freo. I was so sure it was going to be a draw.

Want to be an AFL media personality? It's easy — just follow the four-step Kane Cornes plan.

1. Look up which teams that lost on the weekend.

2. For each of the teams, come up with a reason why either:

a) It's the players' fault. They're too lazy. Don't train hard enough. Don't put in enough effort!
b) It's the players' fault. They're not skilled enough!
c) It's the coach's fault. Bad tactics. Bad strategy. He's allowing those players to be lazy!
d) It's the recruiter's fault. They picked/traded for the wrong players!

3. Get your producers to find a passage of play, interview, or press conference you can say backs up your claim.

4. Go on TV or radio and say what you think confidently, as if you're really pissed off about it.

Yeah, the older Richmond players didn't show enough effort. You really don't care — you used to play for Port Adelaide after all.

But you pretend you do on TV and the radio, because it makes great content.

That's really all it takes, folks!

Wrong logo in the thumbnail for Carlton. Will probably get fixed.

Where to now for North?

Smashed by a fairly ordinary Hawthorn side, with some big injuries including Day, Lewis, Jiath, Wingard, and Breust.

The big question: Is the issue North's list? Or has the game gone past Clarko as a coach?

"Meanwhile, North Melbourne coach Alastair Clarkson concedes his side is still a long way off the pace after forecasting the match would be an indicator of where his rebuilding outfit sits in its development.

"He was left in no doubt and North has now lost 26 of 27 games since success in Clarkson's first two outings at the helm early last year."

Hawthorn just being utterly outclassed by Gold Coast.

Not sure if the return of Will Day will make a difference or if they need to go back to the draft, but they desperately need another quality midfielder. #AFL @afl

How the mighty have fallen. Reigning premiers Collingwood less than one goal ahead of a bottom-four side, in Hawthorn, in the fourth quarter.
