The media pumped us up all preseason and most tippers fell for it, even though half our list are not in great match condition. I thought we would lose against Port and pointed it out but was accused of being a weak supporter on here - whatever that means. I did manage to collect a couple of hundred from the tab so at least that was a small consolation I too agree we will come out and beat Geelong this week. They are an average team and we should be A LOT better for the run last week.

Time to keep the faith and let the players redeem themselves. I am confident of a win against the cats. May in for Frost assuming all others are fit.

How much have Mooney and Jono been drinkin??!

Treloar and Varcoe couldn’t get back on the ground at the end. Teams need a coach on the bench directly players to come off. Players not looking over at the end

Glad the Cats won. They’ll go in cocky against us next week

Along with 90% of the team

Hammy in the last session of a 5 month preseason? You’d be cut especially as its likely his last season

From the kids Jordon looked more likely from jlt. Sparrow had 4 touches in the half he played. Maybe he played better for casey?

There was no high contact, you would want to suspend someone for a bump to the body??

Wow who would have thought Sparrow would have to rushed in Salem back to HB? whats wrong with Lewis?

We will easily crack 40K for round 1 Sat arvo at the G our last two games at the G have been over 90K ? im tipping 47K

I see him as keeping Lever’s spot warm. He is a tallish intercept marking defender. Uses it pretty well. I reckon he’ll do a job for us, seems reliable.

Rance is a diving pansy. Twice he had normal contact and fell over like a weak [censored]. Then the umps fell for it! Blatent dives that he should be fined for but nothing will happen! Infuriating

Have joined mate. Thanks for that TheByeRoundsSuck

Our 18 looks very strong but our depth is already being tested by our injuries. As evidenced by The bench and emg

definitely an option they will consider. He should be emergencies at least

Pruess is an interesting one. If Ryder plays which seems likely, he would have to be heavily considered. if no Pruess, Weeds will have to ruck a fair bit. We need some protection for Gawn From the injury update and training report, it sounds like Pruess is fit, so it will be intersting!

Any chance that Port will walk off the field before the first bounce when they see: Gawn, Viney, Oliver and Gus walk to the middle??

Always a couple of big upsets in round 1. I can see the Cats getting the jump on the pies Hope the blues give the tigers a scare tonight!

Beginning to think Vanders and Smith might be cursed! and Vanders is the flare up of his horrible injury. hope he isn't 4-6 for the next 10 weeks ?

extremely late as usual. Barassi league is full any thing else going? otherwise ill be in a public league like a nobody ?

Have to admit, Gill and the AFL have done very well on the rule changes overall - so far at least. Gill was on 360 last night and he spoke well. I don't care about AFLX and all that [censored], I only watch AFL and I am hopeful we will see more scoring, the best mids getting a run at the ball and some more space

Agree. Also he can ruck. hopefully he develops more in this area as it is a great advantage to have a big man who can back up Max. And we wouldn't need Pruess then.Weed, TMac and Pruess is too tall up fwd and not mobile enough imo

Just 4 days to go. Finally footy is back!!!! Can't wait to witness Oliver's first brownlow year
