AFL 2021
-
Brisbane have the Bulldogs next weekend and I was going to comment that's a tough start, but
There aren't many "easy" games in the schedule now. Gold Coast seem to have their shit together. Adelaide have improved. Freo are better. Melbourne look.to be playing to potential rather than form.
Only North look a long way off and they'll surprise someone very soon
It's going to be a good tough season and just making the 8 looks hard, let alone top 4.
-
@mariner4life North are a loooong way off. What a reaming from the Dogs
-
Two from three!
That was a bloody good game!!
Who is that guy who looks like Tex Walker but who knows how to play football
AFL to be commended. The new rules have produced a bloody good product
And yes @shark the Roos are awful. They tried hard early but they don't have the quality. The Dogs are great though.

The window is a thing

Sydney looked bloody good against the Tigers who seem to be making a habit of going to sleep in the second quarter. Absolutely smashed in clearances.
-
I can't believe the Tigers were the one to fuck my multi. Losing to the Swans in R1 doesn't look a bad result now
But then St Kilda come out and get humiliated by the 2nd worst team in the comp. So it was fucked anyway.
-
GWS stuck with the Dees remarkably well for three and a bit quarters, given the guys they had out and the injures they sustained during the game. It took until the last 10-12 minutes for Melbourne to pull away. This was in part due to Melbourne lowering it's standard but GWS also looked dangerous.
-
Carlton did what they needed to do against Freo, who looked a bit lackluster without Fyfe. Goes to my theory that Carlton are actually pretty good and still have a chance at 8th spot if things go their way. Nice to see Harry McKay step up and kick a bag - tall forwards are going to be the difference in a number of team's fortunes this year if things keep going how they are.
This season is harder to pick than a broken nose. You could tell me the flag will be won by any of Richmond, Brisbane, Collingwood, Port, West Coast, Geelong, Bulldogs and Melbourne and I wouldn't be too suprised.
As M4L says there is only one easybeat team and that's North.
-
Swannies with three raising star nods in a row, first time ever, dear god might this be the first time a full rebuild has actually worked as planned?
-
4 and 0, an epic one, Heeney with a broken hand which is shit
-
Another ripper game in prime time, the AFL is top notch this year so far. Gil would be a happy man.
Swans got the job done but I think it probably took the shine off them a little bit. They are a good team, will make a good finals run, but I just don't think they will be there when the whips are cracking in late September.
-
@barbarian horse summed it up nicely, more or less the youngs guy aren't going to be able to do it every week but some of the old hats stepped up
much better than last year which was basically papley is going to have to win it for us
-
Richmond lost a cracker last night but I still think they are the team to beat. Courageous from Port but I reckon the crowd got them home
What I did realise is how.much I like Dusty. He looks like another bogan piston wristed gibbon but he isn't. He's bigger fitter stronger and better than any other player in the comp. And yet he just plays the game. Never carries.on like a dickhead, never mouths, never snipes, just beats teams by being better at football. That goal he kicked late yesterday was classic dusty and I am so used to Richmond winning on the back.of it. In a team full of mouthy flogs he stands out in the best way.
I didn't watch the lions today, but as expected they were no match for the dogs. Daniher in the running for worst buy of the season.
-
Fuck the AFL is so good this year!!
This is a ripper of a game! Saints were dead and now smashing them!
-
@mariner4life we showed a bit of steel in that second half. Would’ve been nice to convert a few more with all our inside 50s, but any win against the Eagles is massive for us.
Have to say, Nic Nat is awesome. Just dominates the ruck and moves around the field like a rover.
-
Freo have beat the Hawks at home.
Three undefeated teams then the two Adelaide teams followed by six teams on 2-2.
-
Good season so far
Pretty much every game looks like either team can win. No system standing out. Games are open and end to end.
