Round 1 2016 Discussion

You would think Melbourne just won a premiership The way they are carrying on.
The team song was well over the top for a first game win.
God help us next week when they proclaim its theirs when they beat Essendon.

I was at the game and didn't think that at all. Really good come from behind win so to escape with a narrow victory after looking down and out I'd have been celebrating hard as well.

Walked away unimpressed with both sides though. Round 1 so it's hard to judge on how either side will be. One thing stood out to me for at least 3 quarters was how good Davis was for GWS. Ward was fantatsic, Griffen looked heartless and 2nd rate. Dees? Hogan's game was overrated. Did nothing for almost 3 quarters but did break it open late, loved Kennedy's game, and McDonlad did well down back but no real stand outs.

Roo's nearly lost them the game.

Sydney 62 points up at half time and should be 80+ up.

Collingwood are the biggest pretenders going, ahead of North. Buckley must be happy they recontracted him before this, because there's going to be blood in the water if this continues.

Im a Buddy fan, so im very happy to see him play like this.

But its also great for his own personal sake to be back and looking like hes loving it again.

Don't really know how Norf are pretenders given their ordinary list managed to win a final in the last two years BT. I don't think anyone - maybe apart from Angry Face McGee - thought they'd take the competition by storm this year.

Great to see Franklin getting on the board. He's a gun.

They will be blaming the change of venue no doubt.

Jenkins and Tex stitching up Norf too.

I don't know how Lindsay Thomas can look himself in the mirror and call himself a footballer

[The Underdog]

Slaughtered everywhere, Swan injured, Sidebottom reported. Absolute catastrophe for the Pies.
All positive for the Swans. Some great input from some of their young guys too.

They actually will. They'll claim their entire strategy was around a long narrow ground rather than a short wide ground.

Or they will blame the headlines about them this week.
