Round 1 2016 Discussion

Dangerfield was incredible
Crows fans might need a bex and a lie down after seeing that.
Geelong's back 6 is still lacking run for me, and I'd be inclined to go in with a small forward line against them.
Hawthorn were off to a degree, and played spasmodically

[Sedat]

Has Darcy had a lobotomy? Because he sounding worse and worse every time I hear him.

He's been Channel 7'd

That sounds pretty bad.

There's no known cure for that is there? Poor bastard, why isn't the government funding a cure for this disease?

[Remi Moses]

There's no cure either .
I'd rather the bubonic plague

Footy commentary is so abysmal at times. Been downhill since Peter McKenna got shafted.

Footy commentary is so abysmal at times. Been downhill since Peter McKenna got shafted.

Fox Footy are not world's best practice by any means. Likewise Ch 10 and Ch 9 when they had the footy were far from perfect. But all of them at least try to provide some proper analysis to the commentary and tend to let the game speak for itself.

In stark contrast Ch 7 treat the game like it is another one of their piss-poor reality TV shows. The 'analysis' they provide is generic and obvious, they shamelessly try and make the commentators the stars of the coverage (each with their own annoying personality type, like we are supposed to vote for them to stay on the show or something), and they take the viewers on unwanted excursions with their extended puff pieces during the breaks instead of actually telling us what happened in the game and why. Oh, and Standard Definition went the way of the dodo bird years ago - it is insulting to the viewers to not provide HD coverage so as to save a few pennies. Here's a tip - if you want to save money, instead of having 7 commentators/boundary riders per game, get rid of 4 of them, none of whom offer anything meaningful to the coverage.

I despise them.

Absolutely. I still can't believe Darcy was saying it wasn't a free kick. Let alone 50m, let alone reportable. If the AFL do nothing because he's a name player then local umpires will have hell to pay for it.

If only teachers and I suspect police were treated with proper respect then the umpires would have less of a problem.

Hodge has apparently broken his arm today and likely to miss 4 weeks.

Cats prevail in a tough encounter

Good to know Hodge doesn't always get away with things and Fate catches up with him sometimes.

Dangerfield 44 disposals, at 65% efficiency. Compare that to JJ and Biggs at 35 disposals but 80 plus efficiency

I love JJ and Biggs but I'd trade them both for Dangerfield and run away.

Dangerfield = 21 CP's.

Biggs + JJ = 15 CP's

There enlies the answer you were looking for.

[dog town]

I think Dangerfields game was outrageously good but he must have missed at least 6 easy handball targets. Not as perfect a game as some have made out. Still a clear best on ground.

Depends what you do with those possessions.

PS: Dahl 16 cp from 25 disposals.

Mitch Wallis's back injury, round 3 last year?
