I'd love to face the dogs coming off a preseason loss just like us. Probably means nothing but I'd like it anyway.

Lions are my tip for our GF opponent this year.

I get my wish. For what it's worth. Both grand finalists coming into r1 off a loss. 

Bulldogs 23 frees to 15.

Ah yes, but the umps have cracked down on pulling faces when you get a free. So really, they're miles in front.

Tigers monstering the Hawks early on. Hawthorn disposal is very average. 

grimes looks pretty sore 

Hawthorn look terrible.

riewoldt mouthed off and it took the "respected adjudicator of officialdom" an AGE to call the 50 compared to how red hot they were about it for our praccy game

When Toby Greene returns, umpires will simply have him stand the mark 50m back by default to avoid the hassle.

grimes, prestia, and soldo all looking pretty miserable for the tiggas

i think breust for the hawks injured too

I’ve seen a few remonstrations in regards to free kicks against and not many 50m penalties. 

I reckon you can tentatively pencil in the hawks for the spoon. Definitely bottom 4.

I didn't watch the game.  What did you make of the Tigers?  Will they be back on top as their supporters are sure they will be?

Hawthorn look like a poor side and Richmond middle of the road.

as long as dusty stays fit the tiggas will be there or thereabouts

it's hard to judge on a practice match but the hawks don't appear to have a forward line or an ability to manufacture a score, which is not too dissimilar to their season last year

Hard to say given the opposition. You can only beat who you play and the final scoreline flattered the Hawks with some junk time goals. Richmond dominated them and if it was the real thing would have probably won by 70+. 

All these teams getting injuries by going too hard. Pre season is for going half arsed while still getting a kick.

Clubs claiming they want momentum going into Rd 1. 

Lycett gets a free against him in a ruck contest, puts him arms out in a WTF gesture and no 50m penalty. 

Was automatic 50 on Thursday night. 

Umps clearly told to cool their jets after Thursday night's schmozzle.
