Agree, another balls up of an opening game. 

On ya “ Gill “

Weelll! At least the footy’s back on. That’s something. Young worth watching.

The ads are nearly as bad as the commentary. 

At least we're an entertaining club to watch play. This is a snoozefest

The only thing missing from this game is Phil Gibbs and Ted Henry on commentary.

And it's just gone 8:30 - what's on SBS?

FMD, how many betting ads are there these days? Disgraceful

Go back 3 years and Dusty would have torn this game to shreds. He is starting to warm up, but looks 4 or 5 games away from doing what he can do.

Both midfields look so pedestrian and workman like, but with no excellence, or burst away player. 

I am a huge fan of Charlie Curnow, but he is playing a very Sam Weideman ish game - getting to everything but not completing a mark, or a play. 

Cotchin is shot. 

Shai Bolton - yes please. 

Yeah great call about Dusty.

The pressure isn’t off the charts and like you said, 3 years ago he would probably have 2 goals and 3 goal assists by now and Richmond is up by 30.

This game is in serious need of hobo spices

Want have a punt on how many more before the final siren Stiffy?

Taranto gets a lot of the bath but does nothing with it. Not damaging enough. 

Blues still in the sheds it seems

He could still explode this year but I’ve always felt Curnow is very inconsistent. 
 

He has the potential to dominate but it feels like he goes missing for 2 games at a time then explodes and kicks 5.

If it’s not ‘his day’, he’s a middle of the road forward. 
 

As much as I hate to say, when Hawkins has a terrible day, he’ll still be involved in at least 2-3 goals.

The commentary is boring. The game is boring. The atmosphere feels like 35k on a Sunday arvo 

Prestia is killing it. Unfortunately he us dishing it off to Taranto who can't kick.

He must’ve heard you, Dub

3rd quarter Fatigue 

Neither side can defend 

Maybe we should have a game day thread for all the games lol

Tigers defence non existent 

Now the Blues have the yips. 

Carlton has defended well. Something very familiar about their defensive structure...

Bad misses from Mckay. Dry night 

Should have nailed both 

Don’t like this trend of big forwards marking given Dogs forward line.

Nice marking with your face Lynch 

How has no one fixed McKay's ridiculous kicking style yet?
