I think Geelong's chances are a little overstated (Dangerfield is only one man), while I wouldn't be surprised if Richmond fell as low as 11th this year - who knows with that mob. Blues midfielder Jack Newnes booted a goal after the siren to lift his side to victory over Fremantle, but the umpires made a mistake in awarding him the kick.

The Memsie Stakes is the first Victorian Group 1 of the season and it headlines a mammoth 10-race card at Caulfield this Saturday. News 2016 AFL Season. I would even go as far to say that their midfield is one of the weakest in the league. Throw in elite swingman Jeremy McGoverna and the key ins of Jack Redden and Lewis Jetta and I don't know how the Eagles don't improve this year.There are truly at least 7 teams that could challenge for the remaining four spots in the top 8 and they could be in any order.

I have no doubt the bottom two will be Going by my AFL ladder prediction it is clear that I think Just a couple of years ago you would have thought we would be talking about Gold Coast making the finals in 2016, but I really think the Giants will be able to improve on last year's 11 wins.There were times during the 2015 season that GWS looked extremely damaging.

Tim Geers has assessed every race of the day here! 4 years ago David Goodman .

Round 14 of the 2020 AFL season gets underway on Thursday night with an interesting double header from 4.40pm!

Here is the full preview to Round 8. To celebrate Palmerbet’s new Game Saver product becoming available on the NBA, the team at Palmerbet have dug through the NBA archives to find their best Eastern Conference Playoff comebacks. The return of a former Crow, the latest edition of the Expansion Cup and a clash between two sides under siege will highlight Round 8 of the AFL this weekend.Elsewhere, North Melbourne will be expected to continue its undefeated start to the season when they face Essendon at Etihad Stadium, while the Brisbane Lions and Collingwood will be out to right their seasons when they clash at the Gabba.For the first time since leaving West Lakes to return home at the end of last season, Patrick Dangerfield will face the club with whom he won their best-and-fairest last year and played just over 150 games.Speculation surrounding his future, as well as the tragic death of then-coach Phil Walsh, clouded the Crows’ 2015 season but it would not prevent Dangerfield from claiming their best-and-fairest, or the club from overcoming adversity and reaching the semi-finals under caretaker coach Scott Camporeale.It won’t, however, be the first time Dangerfield returns to Adelaide with the Cats, with the club having already played there back in Round 5 when they faced, and defeated, Port Adelaide by 48 points.So far, the 26-year-old has relished in his new colours, proving instrumental to the club’s 6-1 start to the season with the Cats’ only loss coming against the GWS Giants back in Round 2.By contrast, his old club dropped to 4-3 for the season following their controversial 15-point loss to the Western Bulldogs in which they were thrashed in the free-kick count, winning just 12 free kicks as opposed to the Dogs’ 28.That aside, Josh Jenkins’ eight goals helped to keep the Crows in the game until a late goal to Marcus Bontempelli got the Bulldogs home in the dying minutes.Now, the Crows will be out to stop one of their former favourite sons from guiding his new side to victory this Friday night in what is expected to be a sell-out crowd at the Adelaide Oval.Ahead of the new season, Brad Scott’s men were being talked up as the best Victorian hope of removing three-time reigning premiers Hawthorn from the premiership dais, and so far the club has not disappointed.Last week the Roos overcame a final quarter scare to defeat St Kilda by seven points and thus maintain its place on top of the ladder, where they will be expected to remain for the next fortnight, given they face Carlton after this weekend’s assignment against the Bombers.John Worsfold’s men suffered their heaviest defeat for the season thus far when it lost to the Sydney Swans by 81 points at the SCG last Saturday night, but not before a competitive first half in which at one stage they led in the second quarter.However, the effect of consecutive six-day turnarounds eventually took its toll on the Bombers and in the end they simply ran out of puff in the second half despite the best efforts of David Zaharakis, who continues to perform well for the suspension-ravaged club.This Saturday will mark the Bombers’ first match at Etihad Stadium for the season, while for the Kangaroos this will be their fifth match under the roof, and it will thus give them the advantage in this one.No, we’re not talking Hawthorn, but rather last year’s minor premiers Fremantle, who after seven rounds currently prop up the ladder in a stark contrast to this time last year when they were enjoying the view from the top of it.The Dockers’ worst start to a season since 2001 continued when they lost to the GWS Giants by 18 points at home last Saturday night, and with the Hawks in Launceston coming up, it appears there is no light at the end of the tunnel for Ross Lyon’s men.Still, the Purple Haze showed the football that they were capable of, especially in the final quarter when they had their chances to cut the Giants’ lead, only for them to waste their chances going forward.The Hawks, on the other hand, bounced back from their 75-point thrashing at the hands of the Giants last week to defeat Richmond by 46 points, but it was just not enough for them to get their percentage back above 100.The victory, which came on the back of a nine-goal final quarter, was achieved without injured trio Luke Hodge, Sam Mitchell and Jarryd Roughead; it was the first time in Alastair Clarkson’s coaching career that neither of them played in any one match.Still, the Hawks have their fair share of match winners in Luke Breust, Paul Puopolo and Jordan Lewis, who looks set to assume the captaincy duties once again this Saturday afternoon.Thus, the Fremantle defence will have their hands full if they are to cause a boilover in Launceston, where their only victory came in controversial circumstances against St Kilda just over a decade ago.It wasn’t very long ago that many were talking up the Suns’ chances of making the finals, on the back of a period in which Gary Ablett Jr. won his second Brownlow Medal and the Suns sat as high as third on the ladder after Round 10, 2014.And after they had won their first three matches of this season, we were all made to believe that the club had finally grown up following not only a first few difficult years in the AFL, but also a tough first season under coach Rodney Eade.But in the past month, injuries and a five-week suspension handed to Steven May by the judiciary has seen the club drop its past four matches and plummet from second after Round 3 down to its current placing of 11th.By contrast, the GWS Giants are flying after starting the season 5-2 for the second consecutive year, and many are talking up their chances of featuring in the finals, maybe even finishing in the top four, for the first time in their short history.Following on from their 75-point thrashing of triple-reigning premiers Hawthorn in Round 6, last week the Giants ventured west and displayed maturity beyond their years to defeat last year’s minor premiers Fremantle by 18 points.Their form over the past month is proof enough that the club is heading in the direction that is expected of them this season, and that is in part thanks to the form of recycled forward Steve Johnson, whom the Giants took a gamble on after he reluctantly left the Geelong Cats at the end of last season.It has paid off and not only has he not lost the form that was instrumental towards the Cats’ hat-trick of premiership victories between 2007-11, he has also provided some good leadership on and off the field and the Giants must be thankful for that.In another interesting subplot, Johnson will also face off against Suns captain and former teammate Gary Ablett Jr. for the first time since both left the Cattery at the end of last year and 2010, respectively.On the back of a productive off-season, and an impressive pre-season in which they went undefeated during the NAB Cup, the Pies entered the regular season with expectations of a return to September after two years without finals football.But so far in 2016 the club has underachieved, dropping five of their first seven games including losing last week to last year’s wooden spooners, Carlton, by 15 points at the MCG.Their plight has not been helped by a horror injury toll, the worst of which was the potentially career-ending ankle injury to Dane Swan suffered in their round one humiliation at the hands of the Sydney Swans at the SCG.Having signed a contract extension at the start of the season, coach Nathan Buckley is feeling the pressure more than most and has called for his players to “harden up” ahead of their trip to the Gabba where the Brisbane Lions await.Justin Leppitsch’s men aren’t faring any better in 2016, only winning one match for the season and coming off a 77-point thrashing at the hands of Port Adelaide last weekend.The disappointing loss came a week after they fell agonisingly short of upsetting competition heavyweights the Sydney Swans at home, a performance that showed that the Lions could match it with the best in the competition.Captain Tom Rockliff is set to miss but ex-Pie Dayne Beams went through his comeback match unscathed, and will be out to inflict more pain on the club with whom he won the 2010 premiership and won their best-and-fairest in 2012.Another loss for the Pies would see coach Nathan Buckley skating on thin ice and the club plunge further into crisis, so a win will be crucial to their chances of keeping their season afloat.The Tigers have undoubtedly been one of the biggest disappointment stories of the season, currently sitting 15th on the ladder and without a win since defeating Carlton by just nine points on the opening night of the season.Many have suggested that their heartbreaking Round 2 loss to Collingwood may have triggered the form slump, but so too has an injury toll which has seen Dylan Grimes, Brett Deledio and captain Trent Cotchin, among others, sidelined.In addition, Alex Rance’s carelessness in whacking Jack Watts on the head in round five cost him a fortnight while Chris Yarran has yet to play for his new club since crossing over from Carlton during the trade period last October.Cotchin’s leadership has also come into question, mostly because he has been unable to lead the Tigers to a breakthrough finals victory, the club having broken a 12-year finals drought in 2013 when it finished fifth on the ladder, as well as for his quiet finals performance against North Melbourne last September.By contrast, all is going well at the Sydney Swans who sit third on the ladder with just the one loss for the season, a ten-point loss to the Adelaide Crows in a high-octane match at the Oval in round four.After missing last year’s finals series to deal with personal issues, Buddy Franklin has bounced back, leading the Coleman Medal tally with 29 majors for the season, including a haul of six against Essendon last week.The club’s youngsters, namely Isaac Heeney, Tom Papley and Callum Mills, have also played their hand in the Swans’ impressive start to the season, though they will be wary of a Richmond side that will not only regain Cotchin and Rance this Saturday night, but have also won their last two matches against the Swans.However, given the stark contrast in the form of both sides, it will be unsurprising if the Swans take the points in this one.
