making some mistakes but their effort is good

Dogs have a number of huge outs. They probably should be winning games like this by now

    I’m guessing Bailey Williams and Bailey Scott are non-contenders??

    Bailey Scott going well and among the best for his side, but Bailey Dale brought laser sights and his own motorbike today.

    Bailey Williams nothing to be thrilled about on the day. But that just shows that while not every Bailey is a champion, every champion is a Bailey.

    Horrific

    Archer lucky not to break his leg too

    Yeah he was reckless; but at full speed whether it was accidental or intentional is debatable.

    Port are looking bottom 4 considering most would think the Pies are a bottom 10 side.

    Who thinks the pies are bottom 10? They're totally stacked on most lines. Houston a complete game changer

    Exactly. They could easily finish top 2 and it’s surreal (in a bad way) to think we were in the early running for Houston.

    He was ours until the media did their work to change things.

    he was ours until our season fell in a heap and our top pick become top 5 (prior to the academy and father-son selections)

    there was no way we were trading the pick that become langford for him

    Only hindsight will tell whether it was wise or not. Houston would absolutely help us win now and he'll probably help the Pies go quite close. 

    We still have our stars and the window with Gawn and May is closing, but I'm not sure the rest of our 22 is premiership quality anyway. Taking Langford could set us up to stay within striking distance in a few years time.

    Is there a club that covers for injuries better than Brisbane?

    And massive credit to the Dogs for winning given their state of injuries although for all we know North could once again be a bottom 2 side.

    You're joking right? Good teams don't get smashed like they did against an undermanned Giants side. Happy for you to bookmark this, but the Pies won't finish in the top 8. Last night was all about Port and nothing about Collingwood.

    On the Houston trade. no doubt the club wanted him but we would have to give up the Lindsay pick +. 

    I reckon XL will have a great career and although Houston is good, he is 10 years older than XL. 

    On the Pies, I predict them (and us) to rise significantly this year. At least top 6

    I’d be absolutely staggered if Collingwood miss the 8.

    I'd be far more staggered if they finished top 2. I certainly think they're closer to 9th than 2nd.

    It's all too common to read too much into Round 1 (even Rounds 2-4). But I'm with @At the break of Gawn in that I think last night was more about Port being awful than Collingwood being amazing.

    Great start for Nibbler and the Crows.

    St Kilda look horrid. Incredibly vanilla football side.

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
