    This season is fucked up.

    Anyone watch Gary Ablett give everything to carry the Suns past North last night? If i was him i would leave too.

    That was a phenomenal game by Gazza. Not just all the possessions - 45, but his tackling was awesome. Finished the game with the most tackles He looked like he had young legs again.

    its funny , a couple of clubs that no one rated too highly not so long ago,

    And out of nowhere , a rivalry is born

    There was always going to be a rocky start as a new franchise, but I think given the recruiting and priorites GWS had at their disposal, most believed they would come good.

    Dogs were a genuine surprise, but they were well coached last year.

    It was an exciting game to watch and glad GWS won because I thought overall they were the better side.

    Anyone who understood preferential draft picks knew they'd grow into contenders who will probably win at least two flags in a row. It's the same principle the AFL utilised for the Lions.

    Adelaide number 1 contested ball winners , number 1 disposal, number 1 scoring team ,

    Richmond went in witha radical plan , dropping talls , picking a small quick team to out Harris them, and for a quarter it was looking like a master stroke, then got blown out the water,

    Going to take some stopping , look forward to seeing them play the dogs away

    @kiwiinmelb That's sort of been the talk for a while so I am not surprised. That's Freo proper fucked.

    Went to the bulldogs v tigers game last night , never been a big fan of the honourable loss thing , but that was a bit like that .

    An under manned Richmond gave it their all and came up 5 points short against the premiers , close but no cigar .

    Throwback Sunday, both the Swans and the Hawks win.

    The Hawthorn v Melbourne game was a cracker

    Haha, I fluked it and got 8 out of 9. Only one I missed was the Hawks. Yes I did select the Roos. I thought the Crows were due a down week.

    @ACT-Crusader lying bullshitting liar. The only way you picked 8 out of 9 was if you did it blindfolded. Especially if the one you missed was the Hawks. Fuck off you picked the Suns over the Cats. Or West Coast on the road. I will give you the Saints over GWS, only because i bet you picked with your heart.

    @mariner4life @ACT-Crusader
    Shame the Crows didn't play as youd bank them. I mean imagine if they were playing a team that had previously only had one win ...

    (I got 3/8)

    There were a couple of 'heart' selections in there. I hate Geelong and Ablett is in freakish form, so picked the Suns. I never not pick the Saints....

    Freo, yep. Bombers are rubbish and Freo has rediscovered something. The West Coast tip was more a mathematical law of averages type tip.

    The Hawks are cabbage so I thought Melbourne who have had some close losses would lift for this one.

    So yea, any chance a team could be consistent this season?

    Wait, that's not fair, the Lions lose every week, you can pen that in.
