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: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
