After what felt like an eternity of an offseason (which doesn’t make sense given it was actually shorter), the AFL is back in just two short weeks.
That means it’s time for preview articles! Rather than going team-by-team in 2021, we’ll group the teams together based on where they finished last season.
Today, I’ll take a look at last year’s bottom four, before moving onto the rest of the non-finalists (Tuesday), the non-top four finalists (next Thursday) and, finally, the reigning top four (the following Tuesday).

AFL supercoach Damien Hardwick has gone public with his new romance after splitting from his wife of 30 years to be with a younger club staffer.
The three-time premiership coach rocked the sporting world in December with the news that he had separated from wife and the mother of his three children Danielle, whom he often referred to in the media as Mrs Hardwick .
Hardwick, 48, is now in a relationship with Tigers sales representative Alexandra Crow, which is believed to have started during the club s quarantine bubble in Queensland during the 2020 season.

Their request? The Treasurerâs entry permit for Victoria.
As readers will be aware, all travellers into Victoria still require a permit which can be kept electronically or printed off. It was only earlier in the week that Frydenberg declared New South Walesâ contact tracing and pandemic management efforts to be the standard other states should set out to emulate. That message would have not gone down well with the Health Department burghers and border officials in his home state.

Not only did Victoria’s short, sharp lockdown last week cost the Australian Open about $20 million over the five days it was devoid of spectators, but it has had another consequence: a deleterious effect on the calibre of celebrities who turned out at Rod Laver Arena on Sunday night for the men’s final.
Casualties sadly included the intriguing tennis bromance of Lord
Alan Sugar (who in an amazing coincidence just happens to be the star of tennis broadcaster Nine’s forthcoming reality TV program,
Celebrity Apprentice) and Oscar winner
