POSTGAME: Rd 01 vs GWS
Yes, he was on Taylor, who is a gun. But on a lot of occasions JVR did all the work, got into position and got 2 free hands to the ball in a marking contest only to be too far beneath the ball, and his hands let the ball go behind him. He is a very good player and could be anything but this default mistake is too common.

POSTGAME: Rd 01 vs GWS
Both disappointed and proud. Strange mix of emotions. So much to like about our debutantes. AJ and Henderson didn't really look AFL ready. Jeffo brilliant and poor. Sharp was very good. XL was great. Langford - I have no idea. GWS spreading wide and having runners from behind killed us all day, even more in the final quarter. Green and Green monstered our mids in the last quarter. JVR unfortunately back to the worst version of himself today (ball hitting hands and going behind him), and Fritsch also looks a mile away. Petty, Bowey and Salem - take a bow, wonderful. Our skills still need some polish - I feel we lost it rather than them winning it. I actually feel that there is a lot to like. We matched them or even beat them when contesting on the ground or in the air for most of the day.

GAMEDAY: Rd 01 vs GWS
Great quarter of footy. Loving our new forward philosophy of long bombs only when all other options are closed off. New kids looking good. Both teams squandering easy goal opportunities. Our backs as brilliant as ever. We have to stop their easy possessions when it comes off a pack, and their spread way from that. Our pressure, run and intensity on song.

Love Round 1, hate that it is Sunday 3.20pm and F1 weekend. I will have eyes on Jeffo who is surprisingly good in the wet (a few games at Casey last year). I am not expecting too much, but want to see his leading, effort and attitude. Max will be a huge factor in the game - win or lose. Can the 6 debutants quickly play our defence/stoppage game? Will our forward line look or feel different with new line coach and new faces? I definitely hope so. GWS are very well coached, disciplined except for their skipper, and transition as well as anyone. They go in likely favourites. Should be a cracker, hoping for a 20 point win.

Sloppy Lions so far.

NON-MFC: Round 01
Teams figured out Collingwood - let them have their handball chains but full pressure on their designated kickers. They couldn't maintain their gameplan under pressure. The Hawks looked very good last night, and their gameplan is wonderful to watch. But a lot of their effective kicking was unpressured. Cats, GWS, Freo, Dees who have a style of game based on defence and pressure will worry the Hawks. Today, really interested in the North v Dogs match. I see the Dogs sliding big time this year and North look set to finally mature and aim for the 8-10 ladder position. Beveridge is a cunning old bugger and could surprise, but it does not look likely.

Essendon have actually played better footy over the ground, but their disposal is atrocious. Hawthorn don't need much of the ball to execute with precision.

Spot on. They aren't creating things they are reacting to the Hawks.

NON-MFC: Round 01
Horrendous free kick to Will Day. Horrendous non free kick for Sicily pushing Hobbs in the face/neck. And surely McGrath has every right to handball it through. What is going on?

NON-MFC: Round 01
Essendon, stop falling over. And look for options better. Loose players not being spotted going into F50. Hawthorn running forward looking very well drilled. And stuff me they can kick.
