AFL Round 2 - Non MFC Games (2017)

I genuinely cannot recall a game where I have seen such poor foot skills from both teams! This is diabolical.

 

Aish is such a spud. Soft and lacks intensity. Give me Billy Stretch × 10000

Either can I. I'm only watching now because of how bad it is. 

I can't believe the pies pushed the doggies last week, and the Tigers walloped the blues

Treloar's kicking is going to be an issue for them.  Not just that disgraceful OOTF shot on goal, but the up-and-under field kicking is really poor.  He's repeatedly created pressure out of nothing because his kicks are so slow getting to their target. 

It's the reason why he gets so many possessions. He can actually get to the target of his kick as it arrives.

He's great at winning the ball and his hands are good, I just hate that kicking style. 

Bloody Hell, compare it to that low hard pass from Pendles.  If Treloar could kick like that he'd be awesome. 

Fasolo is a selfish flat track bully, I doubt he would get near a game at a decent team.

I wish the Dees were playing either of these teams tonight.

 

Kind of - poor teams often drag others down to their level

Hamish is such a dribbly Commentator

nobody mentions him by name!!

Please.....Dennis please come out of retirement.

Bruce's attempt at humour are nearly as bad as this game.

We are beyond being dragged down today Dr.

It's season over for the loser of tonight's game, it's also season over for the winner. What an absolute mess of a game. TV is off.


Absolute tripe football!

All this despite the fact that both teams have sweet F A on their injury lists, especially Richmond....

This is both teams at full strength....

Richmond and Collingwood are a pathetic mess. Skill levels remind me of us a couple of years ago.

Can't think of two teams or coaches i dislike more than these two.

couldn't find it in me to barrack for one over the other.

Its a shite game,kinda glad howey's been playing well.,maybe Dunny will get a run soon.

That has to be the worst half of AFL football from 2 teams I can remember.


Dustin Martin is starting to love his 'don't argues' too much. Been pinged twice in the second quarter for over embellishing. 

Just said to my Dees supporting better half, that the skills on show by both teams tonight are akin to Melbourne's very worst over the last decade ........... and I don't think that's an exaggeration!

Cast your mind back to Round 2, 2016: Collingwood vs Richmond.

 

Who would have thought an opening round win over Carltank would mean nothing.

Richmond are (still) terrible.  

Pies should be 10 goals up, just wasted so many shots earlier on.

Dusty is overrated and believing his own hype. Got pinged twice last quarter trying to break every tackle instead of disposing cleanly when he had the chance. Complete opposite to Pendlebury who is so clean with his handballs and runs on to become another option again instead of just bombing it.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
