@mariner4life They're your wife's by the way and you're missing the point, by heaps. The supremacy you've just admitted to now is exactly what you couldn't either recognise or admit to last season. The Dees were well and truly the best side all year yet you had them at best fourth most likely to win the flag. The fact they made a prelim final a year or two prior only strengthens the case for them being recognised as a flag favourite last year, after a good start. But startlingly it was only a couple of rounds out from the finals I reckon when you had them behind the Dogs, Cats and Lions, maybe others, can't recall.

I have a correction to make. I don't think it was Mariner talking the Dees down all year, after all. Maybe a couple of slights but it wasn't you predominantly, although the way your recent comms read gave me reason to believe otherwise. I will give your wife's panties back now, un-bunched.

good, i like those ones
i still take pot shots at Richmond despite them being the best team of the last 5 years.
Doing a pre-season ladder this year should be fun.

We did the same to the Crows. Calm down.

Looking at the opening round draw (and comparing it to the Sky schedule), afl.com.au has the Dees and Dogs opening the season, on Wednesday 16/03. But looking for this on the Sky app, they seem to think this is Live on Thursday 17/03. Tend to think Sky has this wrong? But then again a Wednesday night??

wait, what? Tradition says Carlton open the season full of optimism that it's finally their year, only to be out of the game against Richmond by 3/4 time. I am not sure i can deal with anything different.
-
but yes, my AFL app says you are right. GF rematch on a Wednesday.
That's a bit weird.
opening weekend is Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, 3 on Saturday, 3 on Sunday
and lol they have West Coast playing at home...
Actually the Saturday could be absolute quality. Cats v Bombers, Sydney derby, Lions v Port.

two weeks out, must be time for Mariner's never even close ladder prediction
Melbourne are clearly the best team. Just won the flag by about a million points, didn't lose anyone. Flag hangover or new Richmond?
The Bulldogs will be close again as well. Return of a couple of forwards will help the goal kicking, their buzzy midfield will swarm teams again as well. Are they still all good mentally after that 4th quarter? Preseason seems to say yes.After those two it gets a bit muddled. Port are good but getting old and there is still the question mark over Hinkley. Geelong are even older, but always win enough games every year to be there or thereabouts. The Lions get a couple back from injury which should help, but i still feel like we give up to many, and don't kick enough.
Then the next group. Sydney seem to be on the rise, and no longer need Buddy to kick a lot to win games. GWS are still good enough to play finals. Richmond might feel they have one last crack at it before the top end of their list falls over.
Then the unknowns. Are Essendon really good enough? Is this the year Carlton finally play in September? Who or what are St Kilda? Have Freo really improved? And what part does the WA border play on their season?
Collingwood are shit and will be down the bottom. North have good youth but nothing more. The Suns just lost King, and Dew is a shit coach. West Coast are in freefall, smashed by injures and Covid and an old list. Hawthorne nowhere. Crows Nowhere. So what do we get?

Devil in the detail: Tassie ups AFL bid with plans for $750m new stadium
It’s approaching crunch time in Tasmania’s bid for the AFL’s 19th club licence, and a new state-of-the-art stadium in Hobart may be enough to win the vote.
