    Re: AFL Round 3 2017 Discussion

    I thought Collingwood's skills early on were pretty good but they couldn't sustain it. When their skill level dropped I thought their pressure and 1%ers rose markedly and they beat the Swans at their own game. Great win by them and happy with the result.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

            GWS lack bottle. They have plenty of stars but no players who will do whatever it takes.
            They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                Did the top 4 contenders a favour by beating the Eagles. Man, they are woeful travelers.

                Martin having a Danger 2016 like start to the year.

                    I'm having a look at Essendon vs Carlton and its going to be a hard slog all game. A young player I rated before the draft Tom Williamson is debuting for Carlton and doing OK . Lachie Plowman has been a good addition for Carlton and Jobe Watson is in very good form.

                      Suspiciously good form.

                        You can really tell the classy players from the not so classy ones in these conditions.

                        BT's embarrassing himself with some hyperbole surrounding a clear deliberate out of bounds.

                          Agree with G, Plowman has looked pretty good.

                            Don't think I've ever been so happy to see Carlton win a game of footy. The media fawning over the Essendon players coming back from doping bans has been a very unpalatable part of the season thus far. Great to see them outworked, outmuscled and outplayed by a bunch of kids.

                              Ditto, although it felt a bit dirty wanting the 'original cheats' to beat the 'new cheats'. Might take some soap out into the rain and wash that stank off.

                                Gold Coast with a 22 point lead against the Hawks. Each Monday a Hawks guy I work has a major crack at Tyrone Vickery's output and currently his stats are looking very bad. It will be interesting having lunch with him tomorrow if they lose.
