Demons' Dominance Masks AFL's Deeper Issues The Australian Football League (AFL) season has been marked by its share of surprises, but few have been as impressive as Melbourne's 46 28 victory over Hawthorn at the MCG on Saturday.
The Demons took a 27 point lead into halftime and maintained their advantage to secure a convincing win. However, beneath this exciting matchup lies a more complex story about the health of the AFL itself.
Adelaide's 68 point thrashing of North Melbourne serves as a stark reminder that not all teams have been fortunate in their performances so far this season.
