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.

had to be at least a free kick

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.

Brisbane impressive? If one quarter is enough then you can add Gold Coast to your list of impressive sides.

Melbourne, Sydney, Carlton and Geelong the four most impressive. The first two beat known quantities (Dogs and GWS). Reserve judgment on the latter two until we see how they go in Round 2 (Richmond wasn't very good and Essendon was appalling).

Brisbane really disappointed me. Port wins that game if not for injuries. Poor skills. Slow. Very uninspiring. 
Sydney were the standout for me. Quality list. Good balance all over the ground. Excellent coaching. Will trouble most teams. 
Can’t write GWS off. They’ll improve when Greene returns and Hogan is fit. They lacked fire power on the weekend. 
Carlton were impressive but again we need to see if they can sustain that effort. They have a good list. Defense is very suspect but excellent midfield that will only improve when Walsh returns. 
And we can’t judge the Dogs. They played a hard opposition 😂

 

Yesterday I watched North and the Hawks game. The difference was The Hawks had a key forward who could take a mark North did not. Add North shot themselves in the foot with 3-  50 metre penalities for chatting back to the ump. 1 cost them a goal. Hawks are ordinary. With Brown in their team yesterday North wins that game

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.

The capacity was limited to 50% to be fair

Ben Brown seems sad about that

This exactly. Let all the hype be on Geelong. We have been forgotten in the Bevo/Morris controversy. Fine with me.

I love how little we have been mentioned in Mondays round reviews so far. Beating the second best team with 5 of 6 of our backline missing but it’s all about Carlton today. Magnificent 

Just catching up on some old news, Didn't Mick Malthouse predict the 2022 flag for the Bombers??

 

 

Bwah ah hahahahaha

Good call on this. Dees and Swans for mine.

I reckon you can reduce even further.  Swans were impressive in coming back agaisnt a class opposition. Dees in control against the seond best team, not some middle of the road outfit. As The Age reported today, Dees, then daylight, then the rest (so far anyway)

Cats beat nothing, Blues bullied an undermanned, brave but past- it- now Tigers. Cats to be judged properly this week against Dogs.

Lions, struggled to overcome brave and injured Power. Big Deal.

What was so impressive about Brisbane?

they looked disinterested and arrogant for the first 3 quarters. 
That was the worst 1st Quarter i have seen in a long time. 
Port lost that game because of their injury toll

Brisvegas were lucky

The injuries helped but I thought it was a reasonably high pressure game in tricky conditions and Brisbane rallied and turned it around. It was far from perfect footy but a comeback win against a prelim team is a solid effort. Daniher and Adams impressed at either end. In fairness to Port they probably deserve as much credit even with losing.

Those conditions should have suited Brisbane. It was their home game and they played poorly. 
I doubt Fagan is thrilled with what they showed.

If our guys continue to chalk up premiership points whilst flying close to under the radar that’s fine. All those below daylight can scrap like a superfluity of steroided seagulls seeking substance from Gill’s leftover cold chips. All amply illuminated by the media circus spotlight of course.

Hear hear. Let's have Carlton win again this week, let's even have Essendon have a win. Richmond, Collingwood ... all of them. So all their media fans can start cancelling their September holidays and forget we even exist.

Thanks. Confused myself with blues being significantly tested by dogs.

Blues and cats games will both be fascinating reality checks hopefully.


I still think Port Adelaide, when fully fit, can be the second best team in the league. I think their youngsters are great and Boak will always be a gun! If they end up on the right side of the finals draw this year, I could see them making the grand final against us!

Cream-puffs.

 

🍐 look very small down back without:

  • mckenzie - looked to be gone for some time, amazingly apparently available this week
  • aliir - syndesmosis, 5-12 weeks (depending on who you believe)
  • clurey - already on the injury list, 3-4 weeks

They’ve had a good list for a while. They just seem to fall apart under pressure. If they can fix that they’ll go a long way to winning a flag. 
But you don’t win flags if your team isn’t capable of playing high pressure footy.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
