Sooo “Opening round” is essentially “Roger rugby round”..?

Are we that insecure/desperate at AFL HQ?

    I heard the interview with the new AFL CEO this morning. 
    it was so boring and predictable. 
    The AFL Fixture will be exploited as much as possible to squeeze every cent out of the game

    This Round Zero is quite pathetic really. 
    All Clubs should play the first round

    Tough first round for the blues having to play the lions at the gabba at night without weitering and Walsh.

    Gws v pies will be good.

    ( Only from an injury perspective).

    This is the tip I am having trouble with.

    GWS V PIES should be moved to melbourne just to have them play in 40oC

  • Quote

    Based on preseason form and injury profile of both teams I predict lions will pump Carlton. Could be 50 points. 

    Hoping gws beat the pies.

    don’t care about suns and tiges.

    Lions, tigers and GWS.

  • Quote

    I’ve picked us plus all the other home teams. GWS robbed in that prelim, can’t happen twice in a row and without (I’m guesssing) the same levels of crowd noise influencing the umpiring.

    Honestly don't think I'll be watching the other games. Just not ready for footy yet, not with the sun we got coming up anyway.

    But Lions, Suns, Pies

    Most closely I'll be watching to see if the Blues suffer the same sort of fade out as our blokes tonight. The Gabba this time of year could be ugly.

    My friend who I work with who barracks for Collingwood, says to me last week we are the reigning premiers how come we have to play interstate r1.

    I turned around and said to her the afl are trying to get into nrl territory & I don't think you should be complaining about having to travel interstate

    Interested to see how the blues play if it’s slippery conditions. Will at least feel a bit better if they can’t handle it either. 
     

    Will be watching how both teams enter F50 with great interest.

    Expect Carlton to wilt late. Northern home games until late April are gift wins. Season should start later.

    A Blues belting will help to cheer me up. 50+ points would be nice.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
