Big difference between the 2. That 50 meter penalty that lambert got really sucked. He should of been penalised.

No. There was no play on call and he was tackled to the ground.

That's where I reckon the rule needs changing.  Waiting for the play on call is unfair to the tackler. While I admit the one tonight was line ball, I reckon the umps should decide the issue without hiding behind a 'no play on' call if it is clear the player was playing on.

Early call, but the Baggers remind me a little bit (actually a lot) of our Neeld era club. Lots of very ordinary players, dodgy recruiting and “guns” who seem to be getting no better (Dow?). It seems they have put 30-50 games into a very ordinary list, and topped up the guns with very ordinary second tier players. Cripps a star, but apart from Walsh, no one else looking like it. Cheap shot by McGovern, then fell over like a pack of spuds. Ordinary! May they continue to suffer!!!!

Agreed. I think Cripps should get out of there. No idea where he should go though....

[Diamond_Jim 12,568]

why the usual half time break?

Thought they all wanted to shorten it and it was only kept so the fans could get to the toilet etc....No fans ...so

Blues had 4 first round picks run out tonight.... f k me!

Im watching the league already. 

No no no.... They had 4 number 1 picks run out tonight! 

They have 9 first round picks playing tonight (if you include Martin) 

Most of those picks are top 10 as well....

God. This is incredibly boring. If that is what we are in for there really is no point. I’m going to watch Netflix - had enough.

No different than  any other season opener between Richmond and Carlton.

Anyone playing on Riewoldt?

Whoever he is, he’s the only spectator at the ground.

Sorry that’s why I meant, number 1s!! Crazy.

Absolutely zero atmosphere. The worst thing is that it emphasizes the terrible commentators and umpires.

I was thinking this playing without crowds thing advantages GWS the most out of all the clubs.  It will be like they are getting a home game every round.

Prestia, best Sun ever?

Can we revive the Prestia Dees thread?

And the Jack Martin one!

[Demonland 72,159]

All the high fiving and touching of the face and head is making me very uncomfortable. Contact sport aside.

Jack Martin you silly SOB.

Basically in junk time as far as I'm concerned.

Should become a free agent right in our premiership window, so I recon it's payback time.

He won't go anywhere but if he did it would be back to Perth.

Blues have had a lot of frees in front of goal.

6 of 9 goals from frees.

He would have been handy, but not at inflated prices.

[Demonland 72,159]

Commentators in love with Carlton. 

[Gunna’s 2,104]

rioli collected outside fifty and bounced twice but kicked on the goal line. Cheating maggots

[Demonland 72,159]

Not sure why they’re interviewing the players from a distance when they’ve been sniffing bums and arm pits all night.

[Earl Hood 6,086]

Has tackling become passé in the modern game? I don’t know how you can match the Tigers without closing down space and tackling relentlessly.
