First time I've heard their song I think. Anything with 'we are the boys' in it goes well on Broadway.

Top four Saturday night blockbuster against the Suns coming up. Might just shade the Richmond v Giants grand final preview.

    Surely Rioli will get weeks for that bump on Rowell.  Lined him up, late, no attempt to spoil the mark, leapt off the ground and hip to the head.

    Didn’t even get a free for that poor Rowell. 
    He’s a bull.

    Rioli should get two weeks at least.

     

    Joel Smith must get the same plus one considering Rioilis wasn’t even deemed worth of a free whereas Joel’s was….

    Is it just me or have Gold Coast not improved their skills or decision making abilities under Dew? 
     

    Every game I watch of theirs (which to be fair isn’t regular), they seem to miss easy kicks and/or handball to players under pressure A LOT.

    Two after a guilty plea, should be used to that. That was text book of what you are not supposed to do. WCE will get some sympathy though for being out of players. If they are serious it is four, ( I don’t think they are serious).

    Nic Nat just can’t stay on when the game needs to be won, he sat on the pine at the worst time. 

    Rowell was just fantastically brave.

    Yeah coz that’s what you want your team’s coach to focus on… the important things. 🙃

    In fairness to Mitchell tthough isn't this no different to how Goodwin/Gawn preach about our players expressing ourselves on and off the field?

    Fair point. I just don’t like Sam Mitchell. So, any chance to take a pottie… 😁

    Just watched the Kayo Mini WCE v GC$.  Just emphasised the totally feral nature of the WCE "crowd" (a mere handful for season's opener at their home ground)  - booing absolutely every goal by GC$ however achieved.

    They were just really grumpy about having to travel vast distances to attend the footy so late in the weekend...

    100% agree.

    But because Rowell walked away with seemingly no injury, the AFL's broken MRO system will deem it a fine or something.

    I hope they abide by the 'potential for injury' part of the assessment which they made a song and dance about.  Not holding my breath.

    Rioli won’t be suspended. The afl-controlled media are not mentioning it. In fact the AFL tweeted both players had their eye on the ball. Yeah right!

    no injury as Rowell is tough as guts. Therefore no suspension. a smaller player would have concussion and broken ribs

    Carlton, Geel, Sydney and Brisbane the impressive sides of round 1.

    And it will be a question of whether they can back it up and keep it up but Collingwood looked a far better side too.

    Fast aggressive footy with good scoring.

    Apart from us I would think that's about right.

    Let's see how they back it up.

    Saints were rubbish so hard to assess Collingwood but they did look good.

    That Rioli incident was similar to the Viney incident of a few years ago when he smashed into I believe Shannon Hurn of WC. Difference was he got to the ball ball first and had his eyes on it. Rioli was far too late. It was reckless.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
