Jibroni

He was surrounded by half a team trying to provoke him in any way they could, including physically. I would argue it is defensive/minor retaliation with minimal capacity to cause injury.

BrisVegas playing Collingwood next in Round 3, would be great to see both winless heading towards this match.

Looking towards next weeks it appears Sicily has been suspended for protecting himself against an Essendon player trying to be tough (which is rare). The MRP is a shambles.

So happy for Clarry, hopefully todays performance indicates his personal life is moving in the right direction as well :)

C'mon Tigers beat these floggers

Rather give him away to West Coast than see him in a Geelong jumper.

The midfielder bias in the Brownlow is beyond concerning and its time for a change.

Admitting I have never seen Jefferson live (or on TV) but Jack Watts becoming a handy defender during his last years with the Dees and maybe Jefferson has similar traits. It does not bother me which end of the field Jefferson flourishes; as long as he does.

The kid was very good. I only hope Howes can have an injury free season as he should become a regular first team player.

I would replace Bowey with Hore and bring in Woewodin and Fullarton for Laurie for Schache who can both spend the rest of the year in the magoos.

Only one game but GC are finally looking like a team with some backbone.

Adelaide would be as good as Sydney if Grundy went there. They should make the eight this year.

The only way is up, feeling disappointed is an understatement.

So glad we didnt trade all those picks for Harley Reid.

Well thats game over, a few areas to work on starting with kicking.

Spargo FFS

God this game has some stupid rules

Trac needs to be a perm forward, makes such a difference

Worst sports job in Australia would be playing in Melbourne's forward line.

Argh kicking accuracy is porridge atm

Does anyone know what the black armbands are in honour of?

Its only Round 1

Good loyal Adelaide Hills boy, congrats Tommy.

Thankyou Rohan Connolly, as always a great balanced article from an experienced journalist.
