just wondering what people would wish for out of this round.

Should we go for the breakaway concept a la 2016 where the final 8 was pretty well set by the bye round or do we want a close struggle.

Will 16 games get fourth position etc.

At this point I favour the break away group so I will go with Richmond, Collingwood, MFC, Adelaide and the Eagles.

The remaining four games are relatively neutral but I would like to see GWS thrash the Bombers.

Dockers v North would have been interesting but without Jesse my interest has waned.

    So long as we've got the top spot sewn up 'Diamond', the rest can please themselves...

    Apart from MFC winning and comfortably I would like to see North belt the suitcase out Freo.

    Boos debuting 6...

    Some talk on the radio about having the Grand Final rematch the first game of every season, much like the EPL do.

    Not a bad idea....?......would be better than this every season.

    Unfortunately the history of the MFC does not support that outcome but I'm willing to experience it for the first time in my life

    I want to see the Dees win. After that I'm just glad to have another thing for my eyeballs to point at of a weekend.

    Interested to see if GWS have the welcoming committee out for Shiel’s return. Wonder if we will hear the boo.

    there'll be more peptides board members there than there are rusted on gw$ oranjes

    the scum v carltank - very interested to see if carltank are more competitive in 2019, but think tiggas will be too good
    the filth v puddy tatts - should be us not the cats playing in a big friday night game, expecting eddie's mob will get it done
    our game - who knows, i remain positively hopeful / hopefully positive
    the cows v poos&wees - can't underestimate little napolean, but expecting crows to be pretty strong this year
    footscray v cola - fully expecting swans will do a number on the dogs, buddy or no buddy
    bears v meth coke - everyone is expecting bears to climb this year, but i'm less certain tbh
    aints v gc17 - wow, talk about a sunday 1pm game...toss of the coin, i'll go for the franchise in a quasi-upset
    gw$ v peptides - not sure about either of these sides ahead of this season, but think the franchise will be too strong
    jokers v the future tassie - reckon ben brown could boot a bag here, even without jacobs to take care of fyfe

    I'm keen to see how the new rules are used to change the game up, and how teams respond.  Think there has been sone ducks and drakes with the kick ins in particular.

    I am not keen to see the maggots destroy games with their one sided, biased umpiring.  ie Rance, Danger, Blabblett, Dusty etc all get free passes.

    I think the match tonight will be much closer as the Blues have improved.

    Always a couple of big upsets in round 1.

    I can see the Cats getting the jump on the pies

    Hope the blues give the tigers a scare tonight!

  • Quote

    Really hoping/praying the Blues get up in some miracle tonight, not only does it take a win off the Tigers, I really don't think I could stand Adelaide finishing top 4 this year and getting a top 2 pick in this years draft. 

    But in all seriousness, surely Carlton lose the season opener if they are putrid again this year? I'll be really disappointed if I am turning this game off at half time.

    Have they?

    huge amount of Debutants playing tonight. 

    Could be a complete smashing. 

    That said i hope you are right, it would be great to start the year off with a real close game.

    Looking forward watching this kid Wright play. also I would love to see Rance get beaten 1 on 1 tonight. Bolton has to make him accountable and now allow him to be the 3rd man up all the time.

    Commentators absolutely salivating over Sam Walsh... after he hit a 30 metre pass.  You would see it 100 times in a game, yet for Sam Walsh, it was unbelievable stuff.

    This is how much they love Rance - the bloke drops an absolute sitter and they blame it on the lights.

    Yawn....

    How many years in a row has this happened, too?  When do the AFL stop gifting Carlton this game and actually give it to a team who could make it competitive?  

    I know I'm going early as the Blues might make a come... nah, who am I kidding.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      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.
