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

Yeah but my expectations of north are pretty low

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.
 

Hope that Dogs player is ok, that was a nasty accident.

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

I thought accident on initial view 

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

Does Ken’s anointed successor want it?

Their regression plan is working so far

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.

Going the Crom for this game, for our boy Nibbla!

Watching Dan Houston & some what Membery … it begs the question why?

An excellent watch!!

Great start for Nibbler and the Crows.

St Kilda look horrid. Incredibly vanilla football side.
