The heart beats true

The problem for Dogga is that with us he could play on potential for another 2 years and do some nice things occasionally. Freo feel like they paid a lot for him now, so they want results now. I still think he’s gunna be a gun, but they won’t get consistent value until 2025.

As they say about the court system - it’s not a court of justice, it’s a court of law.

You’ve all got your red and blue glasses on here. You can’t leave the ground and choose to bump, let alone when the ball is out of the area. I love Koz, but that was a really dumb thing to do.

2 weeks seems about right. It was really obvious at the ground that it was a reckless action. You can’t use your body like a missile, especially after the ball has been cleared of the area. I actually felt like he knew it was bad, and he’d get weeks. He seemed to play like he who owed something to his teammates after that.

How good is the footy! Went with the family. First game for my dad in 4 years. Boys played really well. I just loved it.

Gees you’d be furious if you gave up so much draft capital for Tim Kelly. Struggle to be in the top 120 players in the comp.

He’s an absolute gun. His field kicking is unbelievable. I legitimately expect him to be tagged every week now. You can’t allow a player to have 20 effective kicks across half back and through the middle, let alone one that has that much skill. He caught teams off guard with his age, but they’ll come with a plan for him now. If they don’t he’ll be the difference in games.

One swallow doesn’t make a spring. Geelong are entitled to back in their system from ‘22 again this year because (like us before them) it won them the flag the year before. Collingwood’s game plan gives you 2 things: A lot of look’s because they have to go fast down the middle, which leaves them very open on rebound, and One tempo. Geelong tried to match them at their game. Slow the ball down. Keep it off them. Teams aren’t going to let Daicos run around the back all year. He’s the guy that sets them up. I expect he’ll be roughed up and sat on a lot more. Let’s see how other coaches test them. I doubt many will want a shoot out.

Scott thought he could beat them in a shoot out. Next time they play you can bet they’ll play that horrible slow keeping’s off stuff instead.

I’ve heard the flu has gone right through Geelong this week.

How does Luke Hodge have a job? He literally describes what you’ve just seen. I know Luke. It’s called Television mate. I can see it.

I know it’s entertaining to watch, but would it kill either of these teams to play defence or switch tempo? Allowing a team to kick almost 75 points to half time doesn’t seem sustainable.

I forgot how watching the footy reminds me what absolute garbage free to air TV is in this country.

Having these 2 games start the season has really cemented my opinion that I dislike every other team.

The double choke!

If May is out we’ll play Max behind the ball and Brodie in the ruck. Lot of talk about the tall dogs but 3 of them are JUH, Darcy and Lobb. I’ll back Max over them in the air any day.

Agree Jimmy. I know we’ve been over this a lot last year but in general I found out crowd numbers super disappointing in 2022. There’s no excuse this year. Tickets are back to how people want them, and we’ve had 18 months to acclimatise to life with COVID. If people aren’t showing up now they just don’t want to go.

I believe in redemption as a concept, but often I struggle with its application.

My scarf, card and stickers turned up today. I like that the card has my seat printed on it. It’ll make me extra smug when I point it out to some ring in whose sitting in my seat.

Apologies if this was posted somewhere else and I missed it, but did Fritta play in the 2’s today? And did he get through ok? Will he be ready for round1? Cheers

The bombers just served up an absolute hot 💩

Good points. Would less revenue really hurt the game that much though? I feel like 16 year old Clayton Oliver would still pursue footy if he thought he’d make 500k a year, and not 700k a year. The players realistically don’t have a comparable sport, and they’d still be well looked after. The gambling money needs to go away in my view. An umpire was giving betting information to his mates. What more do we need to see before we realise it’s corrupted the game, as well as become a huge cultural problem?

So the issue is basically…
