Thought the same thing. Wonder how Howe feels? In the doghouse with his coach and his teammates serve up this rubbish for round one.

Hope he feels useless, mercenary,stupid and like quitting.

    North Melbourne, who played in preliminary finals last year and are supposedly in "contention" this year could only manage just over 25,000 to their game against Adelaide.

    We had over 28,000 against GWS!

    If anyone beats Jacob Weitering in this year's NAB Rising Star then he will be an amazing footballer.

    After yesterday's game, I reckon Oliver will pick up a nomination before the season is out.

    Good to see Tom Papley play well for sydney last night.

    Tom played a couple of games for Casey Scorpions last year as a too up 23rd player and reports were that he didn't look out of place.

    Franklin 4.1, Tippett 0.1. Easy to see which one they got their $1M value for.

    Interesting (after today's match) to see the two Collingwood players with the greatest disposals were both traded from GWS!

    CBDees do you know when Sydney's COLA is finally phased out? 

    Tippet is overhyped and overpaid and has yet to gel with Buddy. If Sydney had their time again they would of shipped of Tippet and kept the Mummy.

    There was a little bit of sarcasm there hardtack, but yes, they do look scary good.  Their running game and pressure has been superb so far, Dockers can't cope.

    I thought that was the case :-). Not a bad effort to keep the Dockers goalless for the first quarter, and they look like they're not taking the foot off the pedal in the second.

    Stringer is a gun but FMD he's selfish and arrogant; burns his teammates all day long. It's no wonder how he regularly scores 4 or 5 goals.

    Got a lot of Stevie J about him... hopefully not the Premiership Player part though.

    And that would have included a lot of Norf flogs who have 3 or 4 memberships (from when they were meant to go to the Gold Coast) scanning the lot as they go through the gate.

    Bulldogs bandwagon seems to have gathered a lot more going by today's crowd.

    I'm no stranger to going early. So....only four teams can win it.

    hawks 

    eagles

    port 

    doggies

    Freo or should I say Ross Lyon has a wealth of talent at his disposal yet fails to understand that the game evolves. 

    Roos 

    Swans

    Crows

    Geelong 

    will all be there about 

    I was wrong about Collingwood.

    Not sure Jeremy Cameron is feeling so smug now.

    Tigers are a mess.

    Did not see them outclassing Freo like this. Thought Freo would win for sure.

    That was an a amazing half of footy by the dogs. Immense pressure.

    Freo woeful. Have missed so many easy targets.

  • Quote

    Lots to learn from Round 1 so far. Sadly, Sydney's gifted Academy youth will produce one of the game's best midfields within a few seasons. Dogs look like the new Hawks. Not convinced by the Cats but we'll have to see how that plays out tomorrow.

    Richmond, Fremantle and Collingwood appear to be going nowhere. Not convinced by Richmond's win, especially.

    Freo are slow though, and when their defensive game doesn't work it highlights how poor their forward line is.  You can understand why they've chased every quality tall forward under the sun for the last 5-6 years as the quality down there is minimal.

    Also, 18 ranking points for Boyd at half time. Guess that missed sitter from 30 metres out took a few points off. :cool:

    True. Fair point.

    And Ross Lyon doesn't have the patience to rebuild through the draft. They're just treading water under him, albeit very close to the shoreline.

    Yep, good point.  They are missing a couple of players today but the Dogs are making them look distinctly average.

    It is Round 1 after all though, plenty of water left to go under the bridge.

    Pavlich looks finished, their forward line is poorly structured, and the lack of depth without Sandilands would be cause for concern (considering his age).

  • Quote

    The Dogs can only play this style at Etihad. Can still be beaten elsewhere 

    Freo may have peaked. This will test Lyon all the way. 

    Would love to beat them this year over there.

    They've never drawn big crowds even in their dominant period in the mid to late 90s 

    When we're on again and contending in finals we will pull big crowds regularly

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
