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.

    • GAMEDAY: Port Adelaide

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?
