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.

Fremantle Dockers - Burnley

With Justin Longmuir's inclusion into the coaches box, the Dockers mirror Burnley quite well tactically.

Based on 2020 form, both sides aim to play a defensive style of football.

Furthermore, both clubs have set the standard in recent years for mid-table irrelevance, with neither pushing for either Europa League qualification or a return to AFL finals.

Fremantle and Burnley are both hoping to sustainably build towards high-level competition in the years to come without declining rapidly in the short term.

  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.
