The Ephemeral Nature of Momentum in Australian Football The Australian Football League (AFL) is a masterclass in ephemeral momentum, where teams can go from being down by as much as 30 points to being within nine points of their opponents in just a few minutes.
This week's match between Collingwood and West Coast Eagles was no exception.
As the third quarter drew to a close, it seemed all but certain that the Pies would emerge victorious, with Jamie Elliott booting his third goal and Malakai Champion cutting the lead to 10 points for the Eagles.
