Gonna be fun to watch Carlton fans' season over in round 1 again.

I am hard on Gold Coast to beat West Coast. 

Cats v Bombers is gonna be a hard watch. I hate Geelong, but who wants Essendon to win?! 

Lions will destroy Port. 

Round 1 always throws up upsets

im tipping the bombers to beat the depleated Cats

the Giants to surprise the Swans and the Blues to get up tonight

No idea who wins between hawks and North. Hawks in a close one maybe

 

Tough tipping round to be honest.

Did get the first one.

    I give Port a sniff over Brisbane despite everyone going for the Lions.

    Port have a fantastic round 1 record including some excellent unexpected wins on the road.

    In a round concocted by the AFL to give every team a reasonable chance of winning it's interesting that Carlton v Richmond is the only "pure" match and even that could be described as close.

    Anyone who picks 9 this weekend certainly has my respect:

    Richmond

    Collingwood

    Geelong

    Swans

    Lions

    Hawks

    Adelaide

    Eagles

    Round 1 2019 wasn't much better.

    We must avoid Port in round 1 at the G at all costs!

    Nobody in the AFL I hate more… but on the other hand it helps Geelong.

    This is a tough one to pick. Here goes anyway.

    Richmond

    filth

    Geelong

    Sydney

    Bears

    north

    Adelaide

    Gold coast

     


    Who was the comedian who tossed the coin? Quite funny I thought. 

    Picketts making a habit of attempted speccies it seems this year.

    Carlton field kicking terrible so far. Cripps and Cerra have butchered the ball under zero pressure

    Martin just gobbed of at the umpire and guess what ... No penalty.. garbage!!

    Chunk doing ok in the commentary. Hard to take Jobe seriously

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
