I've no problems with the AFL matching teams to create competitive or "controversial" fixtures in Round 1. Beats having the Tiges belting rubbish Carlton teams on opening night like we had for a number of years. We play every team once. We'll play 5 teams twice, 3 top teams and 2 middle ranking. That much isn't too controversial There will always be unfairness given we don't play each team twice but the non-rotation of home and away is the bit that really irks me. Why do we always play the Cats at GMBHA and West Coast at Optus? And why do certain teams dodge playing at GMBHA. It's so blatantly unfair.

Yes to first part. I don't know if other opportunities have definitely been missed. There is an opportunity cost in terms of wasted time.

Yes

My boy Hunter to stick it to Bevo early doors Saturday night at the G. We'll get a big crowd. This year we opened on Wednesday night which didn't help attendance wise. We'll get 60,000 in I hope

I tip the dockers to go backwards next year. We'll end up with a top 10 pick i reckon. dreamtime would be top 5

Seems like a really good sort. Best of luck Ben Hope we don't recruit the Fremantle digital content manager as his replacement

Our non-performance against the pies in '17 was very bad. Carlton coughing up a 4-goal lead in the final quarter was as bad as it gets They'll be a factor next year. Gotta keep Cripps fit but i reckon he'll follow a similar trajectory to Fyfe. Too much damage absorbed when Carlton was a one-man team. Walsh missed a lot last year as well, but I expect him to be fine this year They'll play finals in 23. Time will tell how deep into September they'll go.

Carlton's choke against the pies to miss finals was one of the highlights of last season for me. it was hilarious

Tadhg Kennelly the only man to do it.

Joe Daniher can always be relied on to provide some comic relief. Lions worth watching for that reason alone

Reckon the time is right for Daisy to bow out on a high, as the captain of a premiership team. Her influence has waned significantly from a football perspective. Head to Geelong, absorb and learn as much as she can before returning to the Dees in some coaching capacity (and bring back plenty of intel from the Cats)

Jason Taylor must have ran over his dog

Gold Coast get A's or B's for their drafting every year yet are still hopeless

Brisbane kissed on the [censored] having 2 top rated father sons. Jammy bastards North will be pleased with their haul and have picked up 3 excellent young players. The rest is just guesswork

Mick Stinear said in his pre-game interview that the ground was a little spongy and that the ball wouldn't bounce true

Glad we kept Freo's pick. I'm looking forward to the death ride next season

I hope he finds a nice Melbourne girlfriend

North have picked up 3 good players so far

I suggest Daisy and Mick Stinear holding up the cup

It does refer to the Ladies senior football All-Ireland. She has won 4 with Dublin

Eat plenty (soakage), make sure you get plenty of water on board and take 2 paracetamols before going to bed. Makes a big difference

As long as he shows up Day 1 with the right attitude and willingness to learn and work hard, he'll be fine. As a supporter that's all I expect and can reasonably ask for. And the best players have belief. I've no problems with him aiming high. Nothing wrong with a bit of swagger as long as has the work rate and attitude to match.

Saw this thread bob up again so assumed JDG was up to his old antics. I'll be surprised if he avoids any assault or harassment incidents before next season starts.
