So many pundits are still very bullish on the Tigers and I just don't understand it.

These same pundits will be saying the Blues are strong Premiership contenders when the Blues have a big win tonight.  God help us.

I also don't get it.

The Tigers will need a time machine for Dusty, Reiwoldt and Cotchin if they are to win the flag.

    That time machine will need seats for Grimes, Lynch, Picket and maybe a few others...

    They want to copy Geelong and rest their ageing players but they won't get enough early wins to do that in the back half of the season.

    Nor do they have the luxury of having a home ground advantage so good they can bank 10 wins a season without breaking a sweat.

    I might be wrong, but I can't see where enough improvement will come from to win a flag.

    Tigers' backline will be stretched with Balta and Miller vs McKay and Curnow.  Maybe they hope Grimes or Vlastuin can go with Curnow.

    Due to forward lien injuries Saints will go all out defence.  Freo won many games last year because of their stingy defence rather than high scoring.

    This will be a battle of attrition of the defences!

    Saints could cause an upset

    New season, first game, same old colour-blind AFL officials.

    Richmond - yellow and black.  Umpires .... yep, yellow and black.  FFS!

    Jack S. in his 100th. His Nona was there for her husband’s 100th and her son’s 100th and she’s there now. 💕

    First 10 minutes of madness followed by really average footy. Lots of pressure, dropped marks. But great to have footy back.

    Wait, he missed anyway but the umpire didn’t bring back dusty in line with the mark???? So players can choose their own line of goal now?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
