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.

He'll feel right at home!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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).

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

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
