AAMI Series – Essendon v Geelong Likes and Dislikes

How much stock do you put in the AAMI Series?

Me, I take a lot of notice. It’s where we get a good look at how teams are setting up, how they intend to play, which players are in the running for a big year, and who the surprise packets are set to be.

This game was no exception. As a matter of fact, it was the perfect example as to why these games do matter, and if you missed it, you missed out.

Fear not… that’s why The Mongrel covers them for you.

In the final hit out before the real stuff starts, the Bombers headed to Kardinia Park to take on the Cats in a high-quality clash that saw new stars shine brightest.

Let’s jump The Mongrel’s Likes and Dislikes from this ripping start to the 2025 AAMI Series.
