Hunt could have just contributed to knocking us out of the 8.

GWS just can’t kick a goal.

Eagles fans would have no problem if every single possession was earned via a free kick.

Both these teams are awful.

Giants getting no reward for effort this quarter.

Getting 2017 WA game percentage watch vibes

And that point knocked us out of the 8 😛

That point out us back in the 8

Perth crowds love to boo

They’ve already overtaken us.

Not if West Coast win by too much. They will overtake us.

They’ve beaten Hawthorn and Gold Coast. Wait until they play some opposition.

Not great for Eric Bana’s prospects of climbing up the Hollywood Ladder.

I’ll preface this by saying that Essendon may well end up winning this match but can we (the wider AFL community) not laud the efforts of teams in Round 1 particularly teams that play Hawthorn or that years equivalent.

Ok so I do not know if it is giving me this answer based on my previous interactions with it or if this is something new. Demonland: please write a match report on the Round 1 match between the Melbourne Demons and the Western Bulldogs that was played on Saturday March 18 2023 Chat GPT: I'm sorry, but as an AI language model, I do not have access to real-time information or live sports data. My training data only goes up until 2021, and I do not have the ability to browse the internet. However, I can provide you with some general tips on how to write a match report for a sporting event: Start with a catchy lead: Grab the reader's attention by starting with an interesting and attention-grabbing sentence. This should give the reader an idea of what to expect in the article. Summarize the game: Provide a brief overview of what happened during the game, highlighting the key moments and turning points. Analyze the performance: Analyze the performance of the teams and players, looking at their strengths and weaknesses and how they impacted the game. Provide statistics: Include relevant statistics from the game, such as possession percentage, shots on goal, and tackles made. Discuss the impact: Discuss the impact of the game on the teams, the league, and the sport as a whole. This could include how the result affects the standings, or how a particular player's performance could impact their team's season. Remember to keep your writing concise and to the point, while also providing enough detail to keep the reader engaged.

I assume it scours the internet for data. I will ask it again to provide a report for the Round 1 match and see if I get a more accurate response.

The Casey Demons unfurled their 2022 premiership flag early on Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields and commenced their campaign to earn the honour of back to back champions in 2023. They did so emphatically beating Footscray by 37 points in a contest they dominated throughout and, but for some wayward kicking for goal early in the piece, they could have determined the issue a lot earlier in the day than during the final term when the Dogs finally hit the wall. The Demons were forced to make changes to the selected side with Jake Melksham and Adam Tomlinson in Brisbane and Daniel Turner also out. Trent Burgoyne, Max Gregory and Miles Shepherd came into the side to replace them leaving 14 AFL listed players in the side. Last week against the same club, Casey was listless and struggled to score. This time, the game was played in near perfect conditions with just a slight breeze but the Demons were struggling to find the middle of the big sticks. James Jordon and Luke Dunstan held sway in the clearance battles but the forwards were missing some easy shots at goal, as reflected in the quarter time score line. The trend continued early in the second term with a couple of behinds added to the score before Josh Schache, Jordon and Dunstan found the goals opening up a 26-point lead. A late Bulldog revival narrowed the margin back to 8 points at half time. Michael Hibberd was in everything during the second term, Bailey Laurie was coming into his own and Josh Schache was putting his hand up for the likely vacancy caused by the injury to Max Gawn at Melbourne. There were some hints of future forward line strength through Jacob van Rooyen and newcomers Matt Jefferson and Oliver Sestan. Jefferson was winded and came off temporarily after taking a great mark. The Doggies came hard early in the second half but Casey’s class came to the fore and a flurry of goals to the home team including two in quick succession to Sestan saw them off to a handy three quarter time lead which was stretched to 37 by the final siren. Sestan finished with three goals while Schache and Andy Moniz-Wakefield scored two each in their team’s impressive start to the season. Hibberd was the star with 36 disposals and 10 marks. Other strong performers were Dunstan with 29 disposals, seven clearances and a goal, Laurie with 27 possessions and four tackles and Jordon (25 touches, 2 goals). Schache took a knock to the head and was off after the final break and if cleared of concussion, is a good chance for Melbourne against Sydney on Sunday. Note however, that Schache did not take the ruckwork in this game. Jacob van Rooyen continues to promise to become a potential point of difference at AFL level with his enthusiasm, leap and versatility. He finished with 19 disposals, 11 marks, six hitouts and a goal and surely must get his chance soon? James Munro was again a tower of strength amassing 16 tackles while Max Gregory made an excellent 20 touch debut in these ranks. Next week, the Demons play host to the strong Sydney side with an early start at 11:00am on Sunday.

A final at the MCG against an interstate club that was unimpressive at its last start when a home final for them was on the line. Things were going reasonably well until Franklin came from nowhere, interfered with Steven May but got a free and next thing you know the momentum’s gone.

Jackson comments on the Freo boards * Jackson is a unicorn bull [censored] the guys a bloody donkey * Said Jackson was s**t, was s**t then preceded to trade for him. All the great trades prior to this, evaporated. * I watched Jackson pretty close and there was 1/2 a dozen times where he should have been breaking out of his running patterns to react to the ball but he just kept his head down motoring along to get to where he was ‘ supposed’ to be * Need picks for the Jackson disaster. * Jackson can’t mark s**t up forward. * I don’t think Jackson is a Unicorn, more like a clapped out cart horse. Except I think a clapped out cart horse could mark better. * Jackson would be good if he actually had some impact in some way on the game. It would be good If he took a mark * Jackson is clearly not worth what we paid.
