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.

    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

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
