Afl a suggestion it would be cool if you could do after the game highlights so in the rooms and interviewing players and funny moments . Just a suggestion

[@TheNeutralViewFromSwedenAKAHer]

I am a soccer and rugby fan who follows AFL a little bit. Overall an entertaining game and the only remark I have is that it can look a bit low on some skills. Saying that, in this highlight reel there were some real gems. Is it just me who watches too little "footie" or was this game actually filled with some unusually high skill moments?

[@sliat1981]

Dusty Pink it’s not AFL, it’s a code not a sport. It’s Aussie rules. That’s like saying kids in the park are playing “A-League”

[@mikespearwood3914]

sliat1981 actually it's Australian Football: the oldest organised game of football in the world.

[@Sean-me4fv]

SLIAT1981 He doesn't follow Aussie Rules, he "follows AFL a little bit." Personally, I don't follow the VFL or the WAFL, I only follow the AFL. Perfectly reasonable to say that. Similarly, there are soccer fans who follow EPL and others who follow A-League. Nothing in his comment says anything like the kids in the park are playing AFL.

[@sliat1981]

Sean French then he would say I follow “the” AFL. He calls the others sports what they are, soccer etc

SeblsFIFA, I have a hunch right now that it will be a Tigers/Demons Grand Final. What are your thoughts? And now that Hawthorn have been knocked out of the finals in straight sets for the second time since their last premiership in 2015, that's one more time than what the Cats ever got knocked out of the finals in straight sets since our last premiership in 2011, despite us finishing in the top 4 with the double chance on 4 occasions during that period with only 3 wins from our last 12 finals' matches.

Melb lucky to win that game. The Hawks dominated the 2nd quarter. Could have been over. And the umpires were inconsistent.

[@nighthawkx5881]

sean lynch yeah inconsistent for Melbourne. Consistently sucking off hawthorn with free kicks. ‘Lucky to win the game’ we won every quarter except the first which we drew. And don’t talk about how many points hawks got coz we couldn’t score from 5m out against Geelong (and most of the season) year we still won! So we did deserve to win haha Edit: yet not year

[@seanlynch1185]

[@darrenmiles-morland8038]

SeblsFIFA, the Magpies are no more likely to beat Richmond this time around than on either of the 2 previous occasions when they played them and lost to them this season. Richmond will do a number on them, similar to what they did to Hawthorn in the Qualifying Final. If the Tigers have at least 10 more scoring shots, and I think that they will, then they will beat Collingwood by anywhere between 40 and 60 points. And regardless of how much that Collingwood loses by, it's time that they copped some long overdue criticism from the media for their poor winning percentage against top 8 teams this season. I am sick and tired of hearing about how brave that Collingwood were every time that they get beaten, yet whenever our team gets beaten by anyone they get whacked from pillar to post. This is completely and totally unfair.
