Having watched our mighty team prevail last night and the Bombers vs. the Pies this afternoon, we could well have a very good year. Both "finals contenders'" and they were both rubbish! Bring it on!

Lets wait till we have played one of them.

We're 0.7% outside the eight after Collingwood leaked a late goal. Slackers. Our only shot now is if GC thrash GWS, and that just isn't going to happen.

I only saw bits and pieces of the game but it didn't look any good. Probably due to the heavy rain, but I'd rather believe that Collingwood and Essendon are just average sides.

Speaking of GWS, Shiel is up to 14 disposals in the first quarter. Damn that kid can play.

I wonder how Guy Mckenna feels right now?

Didn't he get shafted good and proper.

Heppell is a star isn't he. Makes you wonder how he lasted so long in his draft year...until you remember the nefarious shenanigans the Peptides put together to ensure he fell...

What is his contract status? ;-)

And, remind me, was he recruited before or after they started using "the good stuff"?

I think we are seeing some of the fallout with GC's poor start to the season. I thought it was very poor form to sack him.

Looking at that match, we've got the best Frost brother too.

Looks like GC is fighting back. We could be in luck after all.

Edit: Nope.

Huge crowd at Star Track stadium. It must be disappointing to get drafted to these teams when you look at the Blockbuster games. I suppose they're laughing all the way to the bank.

Unfortunately, Cam McCarthy might take rising star honours this week. Four goals in a half of footy.

There was minimal rain in the first half and they were no better. Both sides were beatable on today's display!

LOL @ Essendrug

Go Pies.... i feel dirty saying that

million dollar man for gws only has 8 touches.

Really looking forward to port hawks.

Anyone else relieved St Kilda took McCartin? Early days I know but the guy needs a full year in the VFL.

At this stage the number 3 pick was the best of the draft.

Essendon are our bunnies anyway....

Hilarious to see BF forums raving about Cripps today. Because it's so impressive to dominate against a basket case like St Kilda.

Meanwhile, Hogan embarrasses last year's AA defender in Alex Rance, AND kicks two goals in wet conditions. Not even a contest for rising star.

We arent the only team that GWS are going to score heavily against in 2nd halves; Their running power is amazing,

IMO, GWS and Adelaide will both make finals this year (and pretty comfortably too). I think that puts our loss in Round 2 into perspective. Horrific 2nd half, but against better opposition that a lot of people were giving them credit for.

Gold Coast have made a huge mistake.

Holy Hell, Lake gone with a possible medial ligament injury. That's big news, and now the Port talls are killing them.

port looking sensational early days.

meanwhile, gws are super, super impressive.

freo-sydney to come. good day of footy!

the hoff. i just love him.

10 mins in 37-1 to the power as Hartlett kicks a cracker.

Lake done a knee it looks like (medial)
