AFL - Round 1 (non MFC games)

[chook fowler 19,519]

Clark will retire after this game.

His depression will relapse.

[Jaded No More 68,972]

I hate Hawthorn but my hatred for Clark is greater.

Suck [censored] coward. Could have stuck it out and got a win this week. Instead you're getting flogged. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Enjoying the boos he's getting too. Nobody has any sympathy for him it seems.

[jumbo returns 6,741]

Weekend just gets better and better.

Geelong and Norf cellar dwellers....drool.

[Clintosaurus 7,858]

Geelong are rubbish. Enright looks like he has already retired and Bartel isn't much better. Even Selwood is having a poor game.

[Bang Bang Bang 5,839]

Hawks on today's form would have flogged anyone, but will be interesting to see what becomes of Geelong this season. Lots of geriatrics playing for them today.

Oh, how much I would give to finish above them.

[dazzledavey36 55,315]

Bartel Enright Longergan and Stokes all look cooked.

[titan_uranus 25,042]

Hawthorn would have beaten anyone today I'm sure, but Geelong's kids have never looked remarkable to me. Commentators seem to think they have this amazingly rejuvenated list but every single time their senior players have poor days (Bartel, Enright, Johnson etc.), as has happened today, the kids go missing completely. It's easy to look good when you're thumping GWS or St Kilda at Skilled Stadium, but I don't rate their list outside of that core of superstars, and if they slide this year, I don't rate Geelong.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Bartel Enright Longergan and Stokes all look cooked.

Yep, and you can add Stevie J to that list as well. A number of their good players are all over 30.

Plus their ruck division is a shambles as well. They might struggle a bit this year.

[Emerald 1,744]

I'd say the westbound lanes of the westgate fwy. would be busy right now

lol @ that horrible handball Chip gave to Gibson setting him up to get crunched

[Jaded No More 68,972]

Frawley is looking ordinary. Which is hard when your side is so good.

[Chook 15,022]

It was a real MFC special, wasn't it?

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I must say Clark does look a bit slow.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

It was a real MFC special, wasn't it?

It was worse than anything he ever did at Melbourne.

[Jaded No More 68,972]

Frawley still not chasing. Same old same old.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

clark just got his first touch in about an hour and you could definitely hear booing. Think about that Mitchy boy

[DubDee 26,114]

Very surprising the hawks fans are booing Clark. I knew there had to be something good about hawks fans

[Chook 15,022]

Mitch Clark is an amazing mark and kick of the footy. Why is he not at Melbourne still? It's an absolute travesty.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,088]

Geelong second bottom of the ladder after round one and Melbourne in Fourth. Who'd have picked that a week ago?

I like this season already.

[Pinball Wizard 326]

Dangerfield must be watching this and having second thoughts about joining Geelong, a club on the decline.

[DistrACTION Jackson 9,199]

Hate the commentators constantly saying 'frawley must love his new environment'. He's absolute sh*t! Can't kick, poor decision making- he is actually one of the reasons we have been so poor. Very glad he's gone.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Hate the commentators constantly saying 'frailly must love his new environment'. He's absolute sh*t! Can't kick, poor decision making- he is actually one of the reasons we have been so poor. Very glad he's gone.

Exactly.

Also, this game just reaffirms why we must back the players in our side who have skill good foot skills. We can only afford a few of the battlers who work hard but constantly butcher the ball.

[Demonsone 2,043]

10 goal lost, what has changed for Clark?

[45HG 1,559]

Here I was thinking Clark left us chasing success.

Guess I was wrong, sorry Mitch.

[Deecisive 1,709]

Shaw only got one week for Kent hit

Delidio the same - lucky imo

interesting only one week considering he lifted his elbow to hit him in the head.
