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

    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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
