    Re: Round 2 Discussion

    Tonight's game is of a poor standard. The AFL have to find a better formula for allocating Friday night games.

      Both teams (Coll, Rich) are hesitant and unadventurous. When someone makes a move, it is as a pioneer. There is no support.

      We can totally annihilate sides like these.

        I feel that regardless of how teams are going the Friday night time slot needs to be shared much more. Every club should at least get the opportunity in the season to play on Friday night a time slot where a big audience out there is tuning in. What do you reckon GVG? Of course the AFL will only do something when there are $$$ involved.

          The AFL mistakenly believe they're huge clubs and that automatically means $$$, when actually having the same poor teams week in week out just means neutrals lose interest in watching anything but their own teams, and neutrals are where the $$$ actually lie for Friday night footy.

          The current AFL leadership are creating the perfect strategy for killing your brand in the furious pursuit of short term returns. They have no idea.

            Yep, they're drunk on stupidity. And loving it.

              Well the standard improved in that quarter. Might be a good finish

                It's a good point that you make and probably what separates us form the more average side.

                      What a cracking second half.

                      So Richmond.

                        Just dreaming: I hope when we do win our next prelim it I'll be more comfortable but you can imagine a last minute freakish goal from Jake Stringer to put us in our first GF since 61 would be fantastic and if it was against someone like Richmond even more sweeter.

                          Terrible game , more errors than you could count, Our side at the moment would kill these two and make them Look VFL standard.
                          Actually st Kilda would even smash these two with young kids being played.
                          I think these teams are playing a two year old game plan.

                              Just wait for the middle of the year, or even still, just wait until 7:30pm tomorrow. We're not going to have it our own way all the time and that's going to start tomorrow night.

                              I'm preparing myself for an ordinary game.

                                God awful game , and Richmond threw it away .
                                5 min to go and 17 up you shouldn't be losing .
                                Treloar was sensational in the last and that's the best game I've seen for a long time from Fasolo .
                                I won't be giving that vermin any oxygen for that banner they put up.
