With the AFL season well and truly at an end, many footy fans will be turning their attention to other sports to fill the summer void.

While many may focus on cricket or the NBA over the next few months, a considerable number also keep an eye on the English Premier League.

If you are struggling to find a team to follow or are just unsure where to start, hopefully, this piece will help you gain an understanding of the EPL through a distinctly Australian lens.

St Kilda Saints - Bournemouth

Both of these clubs are based on the seaside to relatively little fanfare.

Bournemouth's stadium is the smallest in the Premier League, accommodating just 11,329 people.

Similarly, the Saints are one of the smallest clubs in Melbourne and are often ignored in favour of focus being applied to bigger clubs in town.

Both sides also have relatively fun yet flawed lists.

Watching the likes of Jack Billings, Jade Gresham and Hunter Clark run with pace can be a thrilling, yet at times frustrating experience.

Similarly, Josh King, Dom Solanke and David Brooks can play with pace and flair, yet they may go missing for long stretches, turning Bournemouth games into occasionally dour affairs.

  1. Everton if not bottom of the league are close to it while the Crows usually do quite well. they also just lost the Liverpool derby by three clear goals, teh equivalent of a ten goal belting in aussie rules. When did the crows last lose to Port Adelaide by 60+ points? A silly and invalid comparison

  3. Um, literally this year in Round 16?

    Everton are not usually bottom of the league, did you only start following the PL this season? They’re usually firmly in the top half of the league but never win anything. Like how Adelaide keep making the finals but haven’t won a flag in 20 years.
