Cam Rose has been writing heaps lately in horse racing. I presume he’ll be back on the AFL pages once the season gets closer.
We’ve also added Dem Panopoulos to the roster since then, who is doing a mighty fine job, and I’m confident there’ll be some more exciting news ahead of 2022.

Not quite Macca, although I can appreciate how it looks. There’s a lot of good stuff happening behind the scenes and I’m confident I’m leaving the site in a good place.

Thank you Sanctorum, and I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed the Saints can break their drought very soon. I’m a long-suffering Toronto Maple Leafs fan in the NHL and I know painful those gaps are.

Cheers Jonboy. Not sure I’ve always been that good at judging Freo but I got it okay this year.

Thanks Bangkok,
You’re right about Tom Stewart and you’re also right about some lacklustre efforts against weaker teams. They’ll be a hard team to pick next year.

Thanks Disnick,
I’m happy with how I went this year!

Thanks Windrince,
I certainly did a lot better predicting the ladder than I did the actual games this season!

There are some very, very good AFL writers still hanging around Marty and I’m confident the section will continue to go from strength to strength without me!

Thanks Sports Lover, got a couple very right but, in fairness, a handful extremely wrong.
That’s the nature of the game!
