NON-MFC: Round 02

[Lord Travis 10,819]

Bombers putting up a decent fight tonight but Swans will run it out in the last. 

Ben McKay is possibly the most overpaid footballer in AFL history. VFL standard yet on over 700k a year!

[Return to Glory 8,518]

Grundy played his best game in round zero. Not so much from him tonight so far.

Ripping goal.

Ben Mackay is awful

Not sure he is even that good.

Ben McKay, just wow.  Can't believe the roos got away with pick 3 for him. Highway robbery.

Will laugh if the roos overtake essendon at the end of the year.

Go sydney,  keep going

[layzie 34,528]

I hope McKay is a bust 

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Sydney look so damn fit. Great ball movement and highly skillful.

[dees189227 12,512]

Yay go sydney. Good weekend with some of the teams that have lost

[dees189227 12,512]

Nice goal JJ

[The heart beats true 18,201]

Not sure the swans plan is to let in 100 points every week. Interesting game.

Solid win by Sydney. Apart frrom Wright I wonder if they will look at Heeney for his "slap" on Hinds. Probably not as he is one of the protected ones.

Definitely not. They have some young A listers and a good coach.

I can't get a handle on Freo. In 2022 it looked like they were on the way to battling for a top 4 spot in 2023 but it's been all downhill

Freo's list does not have near enough quality or depth.

They used a lot capital on Jackson.

Jackson will be a good investment long-term, he's a gun - and should really be pushing for AA this year given his age and development.

But they had a gun ruck and in the now, needed some class mids and quality key defenders more than a ruck forward who isn't a natural forward, or a one grabber for that matter.

Sydney are what I call a break neck team.

Gee dimma used to complain about having to travel to marvel, wonder hows he coping travelling to Ballarat 

[whatwhat say what 23,854]

red on fire for footscray

[brendan 3,458]

Nothing much changes with Gold Coast still rubbish away from home 

[Demonland 74,430]

Dimma looking frustrated in the box. Wonder when he will lose his love of coaching again.

Dons are a dirty side too.

Hawks.

Pies.

Always were always will be.

Not sure about Fremantle's depth.

Yesterday was only North but they were missing Chapman, Cox, Darcy, O'Driscoll and O'Meara, plus OMac and Worner who played last week, plus a few others (e.g. Corey Wagner and Ethan Stanley).

Perhaps against a better side they wouldn't have won but they're 2-0 with quite a lot of talent to come back.

And I wholly disagree that they "need" key defenders. Their best 22 defence is top 4 quality.

The Gold Coast bubble well and truly bursting today.
