Freo unimpressive, both sides super scrappy with lots of skill errors 

[Jaded No More 68,832]

I think it’s safe to say that none of the teams who played today will go on to win trophies this year… unless we consider a wooden spoon a trophy. 

[BDA 22,672]

Saints trying hard but skills appalling.

Guess that why I haven’t noticed him.   Though it on in the background while more interesting are being done 

[Fritta and Turner 4,286]

Dorks have no choice but to have a big cleanout and play the kids 😀

[DubDee 25,415]

Bombers will win the day but I back Mitchell to fare better than Scott in the long run.  First year taking over a big club... don't overachieve.  Rutten snuck into finals and then they expected top 4 and he was sacked. Logic doesn't come into it

Mitchell will play kids, tinker with game plans and has already traded a lot of senior players (tank). will pick up high draft picks.  when Hawks win 8-10 games next year it will be seen a success for him

Meanwhile Scott will be under pressure

[Bitter but optimistic 22,216]

The TV keeps flashing to the Essendrug fans/cheer squad

Hard to find a better snapshot of knuckleheads and halfwits.

I have really missed these Ross Lyon shoot outs.

Playing too many kids is fraught with danger.  Especially so these days

Need to surround kids with experienced talent. That's the tried and true method (and template)

Even the much vaunted '93 baby bombers had quite a number of experienced players in the team

So did the Hawks bring in players like Vince & Cross as we did?  Later on we brought in players with 3-5 years experience like Melksham & Hibberd, Lever etc 

In fact, our recruitment of experienced talent goes a little unnoticed as compared to the gun young talent we recruited from the various draft's

7012 at GWS v Crows R1 blockbuster.

Another great AFL corporate success story. 

Dont believe they have thousands of payed up members.

[dees189227 12,361]

Gee 68000 at Hawks v dons. That is a very good crowd 

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

Bombers on top, take a photo Essendon fans

Bombers fans should enjoy what might be the high point of their season.

They've got Suns, Saints & GWS all in Melbourne coming up.

They'll be top for a while yet sadly.

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Jacko picking up where he left off last year in being unnoticeable. 

[dl4e 5,851]

So Essenscum are on top of the ladder. Vomit.

Perhaps that's good. Builds up false expectations in their fan base before they meet the Melbourne buzzsaw.

Have they still got the same banners?

"Inject me Dank"

"THE WEAPON"

"I'm anti-vax but pro-unapproved peptides"

That's them. You're all over it Dub!

[titan_uranus 24,962]

Hawthorn are likely bottom 2. Glad Essendon can have fun beating them. 

Fremantle meanwhile struggling to deal with an injury-riddled bottom 6 St Kilda. Not a great start to their supposed “Flagmantle” season. 

[Little Goffy 14,396]

I'm in transit so can only take a quick glance at stats.

Q1 is Jackson playing for or ruck because he has no stats for either position.

Q2 is Fyfe okay?

[DubDee 25,415]

I'm loving that the bombers are going to the their hopes up with a few early wins

 

meanwhile Freo...  must be Ross's tactics.  Check out the Saints fwd line or lack there of
