  • Aussie Perspective

    Great podcast. Craig is quite knowledgeable about AFL for a yank. I’m a Crows fan since they started, but also have a big interest in American sports particularly NFL and MLB. I like that Craig refers to AFL as the greatest game on earth. It most certainly is

Q: How do you see Fremantle's home venue affecting their chances against St. Kilda, and what gives them an edge?
Fremantle's home-ground familiarity and current form are advantages; they're expected to perform strongly at Optus Stadium, though a Saintly challenge could tighten if Fremantle underestimates them.

451 Rd 2 Tips w/ Myk Aussie of MykAussie.tv
Q: Did you think Isaac Rankin's suspension was justified, given the context and tone around the AFL's handling of such incidents?
The hosts express frustration with the severity of the suspension and argue that while the incident deserved sanction, the four-game penalty felt disproportionate and amplified by broader criticisms of AFL's woke stance.
