Try again.

This is your opinion and you have every right to post it? Absolutely. 

Posting it serves a purpose and is therefore necessary? Absolutely not. 

I’m soooo not having a go at you. (I was gonna let it go through to the keeper but the middle of the bat was too tempting.) Sadly, exercising tact is fast becoming a lost art form. Had I posted such, I’d appreciate having it politely pointed out.

How funny we are getting the good timeslots & hawthorn are in the 1:10 slot. 

Although I never minded that timeslot. You got home earlier & could grab lunch beforehand

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

Would eight earn respect, as well?

fox commentary team is making me bilious

[Lucifers Hero 37,173]

Eagles are discovering how irksome is the 'graveyard' time slot: 

“One of the things that drives us mad is these late games on a Sunday,” he said. “It’s not just our country members... I’ve got a lot of mates who are in the bush and telling us ‘We just can’t get to the game’. I hate that. “It’s not the right thing to do, given there would be people in Melbourne who don’t realise how vast out State is and how far people have to drive or fly to get here.  Only complicating matters is the fact that Monday is a school day, which Nisbett added makes it “extremely difficult for families” to make the trip for Eagles games".

You’re gonna lose anyway you muppet. Save your fans the trip in and just concede the game.

jason horne-francis looks a helluva player

[WalkingCivilWar 32,370]

I thought a bigger deal would’ve been made of Horne-Francis’s first goal. Like, more players getting around him.

They are just diverting, they know their spineless fickle supporters don’t come when they are crap so trying to blame the crowds they will get on AFL

[Nascent 7,340]

Horne-Francis and Ward look comfortable at the level already. The circle jerk over Horne-Francis by the commentators is a bit over the top though.

[Winners at last 4,749]

Poos & Wees v Norf ... terrible standard. Like a country football match.

so hard to watch, even with fox commentary turned off

[Jaded No More 58,341]

0 stars this game. Would not recommend.

Gee Jayden Stephenson is a liability.

I have actually found the game entertaining but these two teams are bottom 4 for sure. Sullied by the incredibly poor skill level and Hawthorn winning.

[Jaded No More 58,341]

Hawks will finish the round top 4 possibly… isn’t that a laugh 😂 

[Mr Steve 3,820]

We are still 2nd . Can't drop out of top four at round end. Hawks nearly got us.

[John Crow Batty 8,266]

Strange to have the wooden spoon decider  in round 1.

[dl4e 5,596]

I learnt 1 thing from this arvos match. Will have to watch the umpires when we play Hawthorn. If I barracked for North then I would be fuming.

If these 2 teams win more than 10 games between them this season I would be shocked.

One of my pre season punts was on Norf to have the least wins in the comp.
