NON-MFC: Round 01

[Demonland 74,430]

Who are you tipping this week in the real Round 1?

[Dee Zephyr 19,311]

Can’t believe the Tigers are paying $10 to win against Carlton.

 

They should be $30

[Jibroni 5,057]

Freo and Kangas are my smokies this week.

If nth knock off the dogs watch the media go after bevo

Bulldogs without Bont, Treloar, Weightman & JUH.

Can’t stand how the media are froffing over Hawthorn after 1 game and treating 21, 22, 23 year olds as naive children, when in fact they are grown men. 

The Nick Watson coddling and love fest in spite of the quiet game is nauseating. 

Hopefully Essendon do us all a solid.

If it’s all the same to you, how about we let the Hawks win this week and let Carlton do us all a solid next week coz Essendon 🤮

[gs77 4,614]

My vote is for an all-in brawl between Hawthorn and Essendon after three spiteful scoreless quarters that makes the "Line in the sand" game look like a summer picnic.

Outside of that, it could be a tough first couple of weeks for Dean Cox if the Lions get a hold of Sydney in their GF rematch.

Hardest tip is between the two wannabe but wont be’s - Pies vs Port.  Who is going to find the worst way to roll over in this one??

Preferring Carlton over Essendon?

That's like having to choose whether to have your sh*t sandwich cut into squares or triangles.

For me it’s like having to choose between a sh*t sandwich (cut any way) and a roast dinner. Again, coz Essendon.

Besides, one can’t simply masquerade as a Carlton supporter for 20 years without having a lingering soft spot for them, now can one?

I propose a compromise.

Hawthorn beat Essendon, but only after things get very ugly and a few serious incidents reduce Essendon's bench. Two or three key Hawks get suspended (Sicily, obviously) and it is just the 'exciting''up and coming' 'carefree' kids who come up against Carlton the next week. The mature Carlton side with it's immensely strong key position stocks put on a clinic and Hawthorn miraculously drop out of the 8 despite having played an extra game. Patrick Cripps punches Ginnivan and is given a two week suspension, ruling him out of the Brownlow.

In this scenario neither Essendon or Carlton are happy, but the Hawks really, really suffer. Best outcome.

Wow, this round of football is packed with games of the least possible interest to me. Adelaide St Kilda? Bulldogs North? Gold Coast v West Coast? Even Essendon and Hawthorn I wouldn't worry about watching so much as just wanting to know the injuries and suspensions pile up.

Apparently 80,000 tickets have been sold for Carlton’s open training session tomorrow night at the MCG.

The Richmond backline is absurdly tall, what are they thinking

I think that is 80,000 for the game vs Richmond.

Probably much lower than prior years Round 1.
