AFL Season 2012 Preview – A Giant Year Awaits
It has been 5 and a half months since Geelong defied all the odds to be crowned 2011 AFL Premiers, and the excitement and build up for a season has never been bigger than this. Season 2012 will be the biggest yet, with the competition welcoming in it’s 18th club, the Greater Western Sydney Giants, and whilst the boys in orange & charcoal are unlikely to be challenging for the premiership themselves, there are likely to be more genuine premiership contenders than ever before.

AFL Season Preview Pt. 4- The Window is Open
Welcome to the last of my AFL Season Previews- it’s time to get stuck into the Top 4. These are the sides who I believe are going to absolutely smash it this year. All the talk from clubs these days is about the “Premiership Window”, and for these Top 4 sides, it is well and truly open. The only question that remains to be asked is this: Who is going to jump through and find the Premiership Cup in the other side? Read more…
AFL Season Preview Pt. 3- Not Since ’97
Pt. 3 of my AFL Season Preview is here, and we’ve finally hit the Top 8! In 1997, the Adelaide Crows won the premiership from 5th place. This has been the only time a team has won the flag from outside the Top 4. Don’t try and tell these sides that however, because as they will say, anything can happen come September. These are the four teams that I think will be playing finals footy, but may just be an outside chance to be Premiers in 2011. Read more…
AFL Season Preview Pt. 2- On the Cusp
Welcome to Pt. 2 of my AFL Season Preview. This time around, I’m taking a look at the sides that I think will be there or there-about. There will be some great wins, frustrating losses, and loads of suspense down to Round 24, before the disappointment of just watching come September. This is what you go through when you just miss out on the Top 8. Read more…
AFL Season Preview Pt. 1- No Need for Tanking
In 1997, the Port Adelaide Power came into the AFL for the first time. Since then, there has not been a season in which there has been a greater amount of change than the one in which we are about to embark – Season 2011. Since the end of last season, a hoodoo has been broken, a teenage girl has set out to destroy both her and the football community’s reputation, and a cashed up new kid has arrived on the block. The Gold Coast Suns will be the talking point of the season, but when the games get under way, the turbulent off season will be all but forgotten. How will your team fare? In this article and over the next few days, I’ll be letting you know. Bring on the footy! Read more…
