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: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
