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.


On 05/03/2024 at 21:09, leave it to deever said:

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

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.

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.

Let's hope so.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
