AFL - Unleash the flood
Having watched the Western Bulldogs scrap a win last week I had reason to reflect on flooded defensive lines.
In AFL, possession + field possession = points.
In a more civilised sport - i.e. Soccer, possession + field position = anything.
The Western Bulldogs have managed to make the situation for teams opposing them look more like a soccer result, and tend to score frequently on the counter attack.
AFL is more tribal and geographical than even league, so I guess I will express what really matters.
1. The Swans actually look like they deserve to win games (unlike in June)
2. The top 3 non-Victorian teams look stronger than the 4 Victorian teams in the finals.
3. Sydney will have to beat both the West Coast and Adelaide to win a second premiership.
4. If Sydney lose against either Adelaide or West Coast in the first week of the finals, then they will still have to beat them both to win the premiership.
