#11 Geelong might've had a hangover, but some players aged another year and some of the fire in the belly that was there in 2022 left them? Whatever it was they dropped off dramatically as they didn't look prepared for the season from the beginning. They recruited well, but their top 10 pick played only 1 game before injury ended his season and the team had a horror run of injuries to their prime movers all year.

#6 I'd be more interested in their opinion of the NRL. For some reason fans of soccer/association football in Australia love comparing the sport to the AFL but never seem to mention the NRL. Because nrl is a turn based possession sport not a 360 degree strategy sport for starters The only thing soccer and rugby league have in common is a variation of the offside rule.

#17 Ironically Neil Craig's crows were among the best examples of teams peaking at the wrong time. In 2005 they went 13-1 in the last 14 rounds before losing to the Saints at home in the QF. In 2006 they were 14-2 with a percentage of over 172 and looked the best team by a mile. From there they went 2-4 to the the H&A season and lost the home prelim to West Coast. Yes, when he was senior coach.
