AFL ROUND 24 (all times AEDT)<\/p>\n
ESSENDON v CARLTON<\/p>\n
Thursday August 21, 7.30pm at the MCG<\/p>\n

Bombers\u2019 burning question: How do they attack the game with one more coming after?<\/p>\n
Like they have the previous three weeks, where the Bombers have shown ample promise in losses to Sydney, Geelong and St Kilda. The injury-plagued Bombers haven\u2019t tasted victory since Round 13 when they defeated Richmond at the MCG. Eleven straight losses have followed. Despite the losing streak, Essendon captain Zach Merrett \u2013 who returns from injury to play his 250th AFL game against Carlton \u2013 sees genuine \u201coptimism\u201d. Merrett told Fox Footy\u2019s AFL 360: \u201cTo see guys like (Angus) Clarke and (Archie) Roberts and (Jayden) Ngyuen, some of those younger players and the things that they\u2019re doing have been really exciting and a lot of off-ball stuff they\u2019re doing is high quality \u2026 No doubt there\u2019s been moments where we\u2019ve been poor, but I think overall there is a lot of optimism. Guys are super excited coming into training. Fifteen debutants is crazy, but those kids are coming on really good with their attitude and dedication to training is phenomenal. No doubt next year when we get those boys back from injury, there\u2019s going to be competitive spots come Round 1.\u201d<\/p>\n
Blues\u2019 burning question: How important was \u2018brave\u2019 Walsh call?<\/p>\n
The grunt, work ethic and impact Sam Walsh brings to the table had been sorely missed at Princes Park, and it took just his first game back at the top level from a troublesome footy injury for that fact to be reiterated. In last Saturday\u2019s thumping win over Port Adelaide, the hard-nosed ball-getter gathered 28 disposals and nine score involvements to join spearhead Harry McKay as one of Carlton\u2019s best players on the day. \u201cTen weeks out of the game, it\u2019s so good just to see him back. Sometimes the fans just need to see their best just going at it. I know there\u2019s not a lot to play for, for Carlton \u2026 but just to see Sam Walsh back out there \u2026 it just warms your heart,\u201d dual flag-winner David King told Fox Footy\u2019s First Crack. \u201cYou look at their team, and every team relies on the top four or five players so heavily, and to have this guy out for 10 weeks has cruelled Michael Voss and the coaching staff, so just great to see him out there \u2026 welcome back.\u201d The Blues will continue to try and take some much-needed momentum into next season with a win against Essendon on Thursday night. <\/p>\n

COLLINGWOOD v MELBOURNE<\/p>\n
Friday August 22, 7.10pm at the MCG<\/p>\n

Magpies\u2019 burning question: Can they correct new-found close-game concerns?<\/p>\n
Collingwood is no longer the king of the close finish, and the losses it\u2019s had in recent times are every chance of coming back to bite it in terms of its ability to secure a top-four finish. \u201cThe team that were the kings of close finishes have now lost four of their last five games decided by a kick or less,\u201d dual All-Australian and analyst Leigh Montagna noted on First Crack after the Pies\u2019 three-point loss. \u201cIt\u2019s interesting when you take a look at that last term; they always found a way to win in previous seasons, but is it luck of the draw? Maybe there is a bit more luck to it, but there are some things they just didn\u2019t get right.\u201d In particular, allowing time and space for James Peatling to kick a crucial fourth-quarter goal was a critical fail. \u201cThe way that they just didn\u2019t get organised at this last stoppage,\u201d continued Montagna. \u201cTo have three Adelaide players free inside your defensive 50 is a cardinal sin. That was costly. A couple of their ball movement situations \u2026 just weren\u2019t quite in sync, and I just think they\u2019ve got so many things they\u2019ve been working on; they just haven\u2019t been able to close out these close games.\u201d<\/p>\n
Demons\u2019 burning question: Can they play party poopers on the Pies?<\/p>\n
Recent history would suggest you have to give them a chance. Yes they\u2019ve won just two of their past 11 games, yes they sacked their coach a fortnight ago, yes the end of the season can\u2019t come quick enough. But the Demons have been competitive in nearly all of those nine recent losses \u2013 especially in their most recent meeting wit the Magpies on King\u2019s Birthday where they lost by just one point. Last week\u2019s loss to Hawthorn by 36 points was probably their worst performance in a while, but the carrot of wanting to spoil Collingwood\u2019s top-four hopes would be tempting. As for what happens after Friday night? The coaching search ramps up significantly. And a word of warning from Leigh Matthews on Fox Footy\u2019s On The Couch: \u201cThe whole Melbourne operation is unstable. So anyone who takes the Melbourne coaching job have got the faith that stability is coming \u2013 because at the moment, it\u2019s not there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Power\u2019s burning question: Is it the last time we\u2019ll ever see a succession plan like this?<\/p>\n
It\u2019d be more than fair to say Port Adelaide\u2019s protracted Ken Hinkley farewell won\u2019t be a move copied by rival teams any time soon, based on its efficacy this year at Alberton. The Power have gone from a preliminary final side to one with just eight wins from 22 games, and while most predicted some sort of regression after last year, a lot of pundits still would\u2019ve predicted the club to challenge for a top-eight spot. Instead, they\u2019re six games behind ninth-placed Gold Coast \u2014 their opponent for Hinkley\u2019s farewell this Friday \u2014 and have lost seven games by eight goals or more in what\u2019s unfolded as Port Adelaide\u2019s most uncompetitive campaign under Hinkley\u2019s guidance. King said on First Crack: \u201cIt\u2019ll be the last time you see the goodbye. That\u2019s it, you\u2019ll never see that again.\u201d It came after Hinkley delivered some stark comments following the Power\u2019s 54-point loss to fellow bottom-nine side Carlton last Saturday. \u201cI\u2019m glad it\u2019s here. I\u2019m sick of the wait,\u201d he said during his post-match media conference. \u201cIt\u2019s been a bit of a battle to get to the end, and we\u2019ve got here now, and I\u2019m really proud of the way the footy club \u2026 myself, and everyone involved with our footy club have been able to keep our spirits up and our energy up to get to the end of the season with lots of challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n
Suns\u2019 burning question: Should they be worried by key King-Cadman comparison?<\/p>\n
On the Couch on Monday night, Brisbane Lions legend Jonathan Brown highlighted the difference in competitiveness between Ben King and Aaron Cadman during last Saturday\u2019s contest, with Cadman notably better in the air in marking contests against Sam Collins than King was against counterpart Sam Taylor. \u201cJust the difference in two young key forwards. Ben King and Aaron Cadman against two physical defenders \u2026 Cadman competed really well, he took the physicality, he had 13 disposals, hit the scoreboard with a couple of goals, but he just kept competing all the way through,\u201d Brown said. \u201cI just thought Ben King struggled in this area of the game. Taylor went at him with his physicality, and I just wasn\u2019t able to see Ben with that physicality back that Cadman showed towards Sam Collins. So, just an area that he can work on coming into September.\u201d Cadman had six score involvements with his two goals and four marks, while King had three score involvements and two marks with two goals. <\/p>\n

Kangaroos\u2019 burning question: Is this their next A-grader?<\/p>\n
If Paul Curtis can again take his game to a new level next season, club great David King believes the livewire forward has the tools to be the club\u2019s next A-grader. \u201cI think (he) can become Toby Greene. I really do,\u201d King said on Fox Footy. \u201cI think that he\u2019s got capabilities that most don\u2019t. He can do it at ground level, he\u2019s mad for the contest, he loves contested marking, he\u2019s got great bodywork, and I think he\u2019s a special talent.\u201d Curtis snagged five goals against Richmond last Sunday, took five marks inside 50 and was dangerous with a game-high nine disposals inside forward 50. \u201cHe\u2019s only 22 years of age; the sky is the limit for this guy if he wants to get rock-hard fit during this off-season and take his game to the next level,\u201d King continued. \u201cAnything is possible for this young man. He was terrific again (against Richmond) \u2026 high-quality opposition in Nathan Broad, and he just took him to the cleaners \u2026 if he\u2019s serious, he\u2019s an A-grader in 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n
Crows\u2019 burning question: Is this the league\u2019s best defensive tandem?<\/p>\n
They\u2019ve been dubbed the \u201cRundle Maulers\u201d, and they\u2019re steamrolling opposition forwards in their path. The Crows are the top-ranked intercepting team in the competition, and in particular, key stoppers Mark Keane and Josh Worrell are controlling the airways, ranking first and second respectively for intercepts this year. \u201cThe back six of the Adelaide Crows, I\u2019m in love with what they\u2019re doing behind the ball,\u201d King told First Crack. \u201cWe say they\u2019re no-name, but I think we\u2019re all getting a handle now on what they\u2019ve got, and it\u2019s quite special behind the ball. It\u2019s team-first at all times, it\u2019s minimal fuss, it\u2019s honest, it\u2019s tough, and it\u2019s the best back six in the competition by a long way. They work for each other so well.\u201d And it\u2019s not like Keane and Worrell came into the year as household names. Worrell was the no. 28 pick back in 2019 and has been a slow burn at the top level, but he\u2019s here and firing now, while Keane was a Collingwood pre-season pick-up a year earlier in 2018. It comes after luring Jordan Dawson and Izak Rankine from rival clubs, as well as drafting the likes of Riley Thilthorpe, Dan Curtin and Josh Rachele over previous years. King added: \u201cIf they do win the flag this year, they\u2019ll knight their recruiting department, their talent acquisition department \u2026 it\u2019s been unbelievable, what they\u2019ve built.\u201d<\/p>\n

RICHMOND v GEELONG CATS<\/p>\n

Tigers\u2019 burning question: Was it the right call to cull \u2018Kapps\u2019?<\/p>\n
Kamdyn McIntosh is a heart and soul Richmond premiership stalwart, but that\u2019s not the only reason why the club\u2019s call to delist him at the end of this season is a perplexing one. McIntosh is one of just six Tigers to play all 22 games this year, and while four of those have come as the sub, there\u2019s no mistaking why he\u2019s been out there every week. As well as continuing to contribute to the way Adem Yze\u2019s side wants to play on a wing, he acts as a necessary veteran presence within a side that is the league\u2019s least-experienced based on average games played this year (52.7). The only three Richmond players older than McIntosh are Dion Prestia, Tom Lynch and Nathan Broad; all 32 years of age. And for a club that will only add more young talent at this year\u2019s national draft, next year will again present the need for the Tigers to offset their widespread youth with older heads. It comes as little surprise that McIntosh \u2014 who has played at least 21 senior games in each of the past four seasons \u2014 reportedly wants to play on for another year. And it\u2019s not as if the Tigers are chock-full of options on the wing. Hugo Ralphsmith has played the role when healthy, while draftee Luke Trainor has spent time on the flanks in addition to in defence and up forward \u2014 but there\u2019s an easy argument to make that McIntosh is still the most tried and tested wing option Richmond will have in 2026. <\/p>\n
Cats\u2019 burning question: Are they flying under the radar as the true premiership favourites?<\/p>\n
As the Cats all but lock in their 10th top-four finish in 15 years, Chris Scott\u2019s side are quietly assuming the role as the competition\u2019s leading flag contender. Their polished 43-point win over an in-form Sydney outfit goes well beyond a victory over a 10th-placed side, given the Swans\u2019 recent surge in form. \u201cThey are the best under-the-radar team in the competition by a mile \u2026 I think they\u2019re a better version of themselves than they were last year \u2026 I\u2019ve got them playing in a grand final, as I sit here right now,\u201d 287-game player Leigh Montagna told Fox Footy\u2019s First Crack. \u201cI trust the coach \u2014 he\u2019s the best coach in the league \u2014 and they\u2019re fully fit and healthy.\u201d Fellow genuine contender Adelaide has won their last eight games but given their club\u2019s non-existent finals experience in the last eight years, doubts over their credentials are understandably still clouded. A second-placed Brisbane are amid a slightly volatile run of form, while Collingwood has lost five of their last six games. <\/p>\n
McQualter: Eagles need to get to work | 09:35<\/p>\n
WEST COAST EAGLES v SYDNEY SWANS<\/p>\n
Saturday August 23, 7.35pm at Optus Stadium<\/p>\n
How to watch on Fox Footy: From 7pm on Channel 504, hosted by Kath Loughnan, David King, Jack Riewoldt & Jay Clark, with commentary from Adam Papalia, Dwayne Russell, Matthew Pavlich, Dermott Brereton & Will Schofield<\/p>\n
Eagles\u2019 burning question: How high is the ceiling on one of their youngest draftees?<\/p>\n
In a year that\u2019s had very little positives for West Coast, the unveiling of first-year draftee Jobe Shanahan in the second half of this season has caught the eye of more than just the odd expert. The 195cm Moama product has shown notable progress in his first eight games at the top level, and while he failed to register a goal on Sunday evening against the Western Bulldogs, still managed three shots on goal. \u201cJobe Shanahan is one that is just bobbing up for the West Coast Eagles \u2026 chatting to Andrew McQualter on the weekend, they have very big hopes for this young man,\u201d three-time Richmond premiership player Jack Riewoldt told On The Couch on Monday night. \u201cHe reminds me of Mitch Georgiades \u2014 I love the way that he comes at the ball.\u201d Only just over a week ago, multiple outlets reported Shanahan is in line for a two-year extension. <\/p>\n
Swans\u2019 burning question: How well placed are they for a return to September next year?<\/p>\n
Very well placed. Sydney\u2019s 2025 campaign essentially ended with that Round 12 90-point home loss to Adelaide, which took the Swans\u2019 record to 4-8. Since then, the likes of Errol Gulden, Tom Papley, Callum Mills and Harry Cunningham have returned to the side, Angus Sheldrick has emerged and the likes of Isaac Heeney, Brodie Grundy and Nick Blakey have discovered their best form. So if the Swans beat the Eagles on Saturday night, they\u2019ll finish with a positive win-loss record (12-11) and three games outside the eight in the most competitive top-nine we\u2019ve arguably ever seen. Add in the expectation the Swans will be busy and bold this off-season in the trade market, there\u2019s no reason why they can\u2019t bounce quickly in 2026.<\/p>\n

Giants\u2019 burning question: Can anyone stop them at their best?<\/p>\n
Consistency has been a question mark for the Giants, but it can\u2019t be argued \u2014 when they\u2019re at their best, there are very few who can stop them. \u201cWhen they\u2019re on, they are beautiful to watch \u2026 the eyes tell you everything. They want corridor. They want to go right through your heart \u2026 it\u2019s beautiful in motion,\u201d King said on First Crack. The Giants bagged 9.1 (55) from coast-to-coast scoring against Gold Coast. \u201cI haven\u2019t seen a game like that,\u201d King continued. \u201cIt was incredible \u2026 who wouldn\u2019t want to play this sort of footy? I think it\u2019s such an easy sell to your 23 \u2026 great to watch.\u201d Promisingly, the Giants have also improved what was previously considered a lacklustre stoppage game. After ranking 16th for clearance differential and 15th for points from clearance differential over Rounds 0-15, they\u2019ve risen to 10th and second respectively over Rounds 16-23. \u201cCredit to Adam Kingsley, they have significantly improved \u2026 what they are now is they punish when they do win clearance, and they can defend it,\u201d Montagna added. <\/p>\n
Saints\u2019 burning question: How much will the Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera signing boost their hopes?<\/p>\n
Significantly, both for this weekend\u2019s match and the long-term. After months of speculation, Wanganeen-Milera made the colossal call to snub offers from Adelaide and Port Adelaide, re-sign with St Kilda and become the league\u2019s first $2 million player. Speaking to foxfooty.com.au earlier this week, Western Bulldogs legend Brad Johnson said the new Wanganeen-Milera deal was \u201cso significant and the lift that gives all his teammates is massive\u201d. Johnson added coach Ross Lyon would use Wanganeen-Milera\u2019s show of faith to help \u201cretain other teammates\u201d, but also \u201cattract other players to the club knowing that you\u2019re going to have possibly the best player in the comp on your list\u201d. Wanganeen-Milera has been in ridiculous form since the Saints\u2019 bye \u2013 and prior to that in Round 5, he kicked three goals from 24 touches in the Saints\u2019 Gather Round clash against the Giants. He looms as an ominous threat for Adam Kingsley\u2019s side again this weekend.<\/p>\n

WESTERN BULLDOGS v FREMANTLE<\/p>\n
Sunday August 24, 3.15pm at Marvel Stadium<\/p>\n
How to watch on Fox Footy: From 3pm on Channel 504, with commentary from Anthony Hudson, Gerard Whateley, Garry Lyon, Jordan Lewis, Sarah Jones & David Zita.<\/p>\n
Bulldogs\u2019 burning question: Are they really overwhelming favourites?<\/p>\n
According to the markets, they are. For in their past 17 games at Marvel Stadium, the Dogs have averaged 116.6 points and won 15 of them by an average margin of 60.4 points \u2014 as pointed out on First Crack Preview by Leigh Montagna, who declared: \u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s a bigger task in footy at the moment than trying to knock off the Western Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium, because they are dynamite under the lid.\u201d Making matters tougher for the Dockers this weekend, they\u2019ve lost their past two matches against the Bulldogs at the Docklands venue by 67 and 29 points respectively. But Montagna believes the Dockers can still upset the Bulldogs and expose their \u201ckryptonite\u201d by ramping up their defensive pressure. The Bulldogs this year have won 13 of 16 games when their opposition has had a pressure rating of under 190 \u2014 but won just one of six games when the rating has been 190 or more, primarily because the Dogs concede more points from their own defensive half. Montagna said: \u201cFremantle need to squeeze, need to get after them, get in their face and see if they can pull off the upset.\u201d And Dockers coach Justin Longmuir was happy to put the heat back on the Dogs at his mid-week presser, telling reporters: \u201cThe pressure is on them, isn\u2019t it? Last time I checked, they\u2019ve won one less game than us \u2026 We are on the same amount of wins as Collingwood, who are fourth.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dockers\u2019 burning question: Will they take the Dogs on at speed?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard to predict. One week the Dockers pull the trigger with more aggressive ball movement, the next \u2014 like the loss to Brisbane last Friday night \u2014 they move in first gear. The data suggests, though, Justin Longmuir\u2019s side is more prolific and effective when it moves the footy quickly. Dual premiership Kangaroo David King on Wednesday night presented Fremantle\u2019s \u2018speed of ball\u2019 profile on Fox Footy\u2019s First Crack Preview. A large portion of the Dockers\u2019 chains were in the slower \u2018Gear 1\u2019 zone (sub 40), which resulted in them being just over three per cent more likely to be scored against on counter-attack rather than score themselves. But when Freo hits \u2018Gear 5\u2019 (160+), it\u2019s 29 per cent more likely to score \u2013 yet it hits that gear the least. \u201cPeople say \u2018you\u2019re hot on Fremantle\u2019. I\u2019m not. There\u2019s so much opportunity sitting here. If they play aggressive on Sunday, they\u2019re going to be bloody hard to beat.\u201d<\/p>\n

BRISBANE LIONS v HAWTHORN<\/p>\n
Sunday August 24, 7.20pm at the Gabba<\/p>\n
How to watch on Fox Footy: From 7pm on Channel 504, with commentary from Matt Hill, Mark Howard, Jonathan Brown, Nathan Buckley, Alastair Lynch & David Zita.<\/p>\n
Lions\u2019 burning question: Are they vulnerable at the Gabba?<\/p>\n
\u2018Vulnerable?\u2019 That\u2019s a bit strong. But there\u2019s an argument to suggest facing the Lions at the Gabba isn\u2019t as intimidating a task as previous years, with Brisbane losing four of its past eight games at home. Remarkably, this is the first time Brisbane has hosted Hawthorn at the Gabba since June 2019 in a remarkable fixture quirk. Yet there\u2019s so much for the Lions to play for. If the reigning premiers beat Hawthorn next Sunday night, they\u2019ll likely set up a qualifying final with the Cats, with the game either hosted at the MCG (if Geelong wins) or the Gabba (if Geelong loses). But with the ladder being this tight, the Lions can hardly afford a loss, with the most likely results sending them all the way down into an away elimination final. Yes the Lions won the flag last year from outside the top four, but that was a footy history anomaly.<\/p>\n
Hawks\u2019 burning question: Is Jack Gunston an All-Australian lock?<\/p>\n
He has to be now, surely? Which is remarkable considering Gunston, in his 16th AFL season at the age of 33, from 19 matches has kicked a career-high 60 goals, usurping his previous best of 58 from 23 games in the Hawks\u2019 successful 2014 campaign. Ex-teammate and four-time Hawthorn premiership player Jordan Lewis told On The Couch said Gunston was \u201cabsolutely\u201d an All-Australian lock, while Nathan Buckley added: \u201cThink about where Taylor Walker was a couple of years ago \u2026 you can find a way through the physical challenge, the mental and emotional application \u2026 you can see that in Jack, in the way that he plays. He\u2019s playing career-best footy, and he\u2019s been asked to play a role that he\u2019s more than capable of performing \u2014 and he\u2019s doing it as well as anybody.\u201d Gunston will have a key role to play on Sunday night against the Lions.
