Looks like a great first round with a number of great match ups.

Yep ripping start. Tipping will be impossible, ours and Sydney aside
Re: AFL Round 1 2017 Discussion
Why are the 4 saturday games played in only 2 time slots? Surely one of the 4:35pm matches could have been played at 2pm?

The AFL continue with their Thursday season rehearsal match.
Obviously it has worked well for the TV station to fine tune their systems by have a full scale match of little importance between irrelevant teams in Richmond and Carlton. The added bonus for the teams is that one of them starts the year with a win.
TV is then all set for the real season opener on Friday.

Yep Carlton still dreadful
Re: AFL Round 1 2017 Discussion
Great crowd but from what I've seen the footy is a bit ordinary.
Re: AFL Round 1 2017 Discussion
My mate, a Blues supporter, just sent me a message "Bit of a problem when your number 1 draft pick from last year is your best player"...
Re: AFL Round 1 2017 Discussion
So looks like this game lived up to the standard we've come to expect each year.

Keep Dusty quiet, and pressure their back half and employ a decent team defence and Richmond are going to get smacked this year.
Re: AFL Round 1 2017 Discussion
Gives false hope to Richmond and shows Carlton are wooden spooners -great start to season.
