Nice inside info @Lord Nev. Demonland cred elevated.

Geeze Port are some side. The speed and precision with which they move the ball is second to none.

Hahaha...it’s a beautiful thing

This is hilarious. Hawks with 7 unanswered to make it a 1 point game.

If Hibbo is fit then a straight swap for Hunt seems an easy decision. Viney is an automatic in, but who makes way isn’t as clear cut. I’d pick Sparrow, tackle count notwithstanding.

25 of his 35 touches were handballs. He was in our best 6 players but his DE can be misleading.

6. Lever 5. May 4. McDonald 3. Oliver 2. Langdon 1. Spargo

I savour most wins. That won’t be one of them. Of course, 4 points in Round 1 is better than the alternative. I just was hoping to see a lot more than what we saw.

Spargo with 108 SuperCoach points ?

The aim is to win a flag. On that evidence we are a gazillion miles away from it. So yeah, that’s disappointing. It’s cool that you’re entirely satisfied with 4 points at home against a half strength Dockers. Others look at the bigger picture.

A good weekend for the McDonald family. Slimmed down T Mac is the best T Mac. I’ve regularly potted him on here but he made a real difference today.

Pretty much what I expected. An uninspiring win against a severely undermanned Freo. May and Lever will keep us in many contests this year. A Round 1 win is welcome but none of the other teams will be shaking in their boots watching that performance.

Ffs how do you not score then.

If I hear after the game, “we were unhappy to get beaten in the contest, we pride ourselves on that” I’m gonna vomit. We have no reason to be proud of it. None.

Seriously though what the hell is happening with our stoppage work? We’re getting belted.

Forgot Hunt was even playing.

Jackson is freakishly mobile for someone his size.

Surely they don’t torture everyone watching with a 2 point win from here. Against this Freo side. Surely not.

Agreed, although tbh I’ll take a Round 1 win any way it comes.

Dear AA selectors, That guy who is owning the game in the back half with 500 metres gained? Number 1? His name is Steven May. That name again. Steven May. Cheers. Enjoy the game.

Big honour to receive your jumper from Junior. Play well Jimmy J.

Watching Howe trudge off the ground looking forlornly at the scoreboard. Warms the heart.

Thankfully we have BT to remind us of the longer quarters with constant references to how much more the teams are scoring.

[censored] you Richmond. Why do they do the little things so well? Doesn’t even take talent. But they do them better than anyone. Dusty is an absolute freak though.

Oscar becoming a gun forward would be the most Melbourne thing ever.
