NON-MFC: Opening Round

Featured Replies

 

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: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
