Opening Round

[jazzadogs]

Actually, that game would have been finished by now.................I mean of course you'd set that game to start at 1715 to accommodate the shit humid and slippery conditions in QLD on a Victorian Labour Day Saturday where the vast majority of the audience is located and plenty of people are still doing things like going to the beach given the weather.......

Well the 'morons' part of my post was accurate at least...

Finn Callaghan…oh my.

Finn Callaghan…oh my.

Yep. At the game and he is just unbelievable. Surely he will get homesick in the next 4 years and seek a trade.

Darcy Jones is a bloody good footballer and entertaining to watch.

Finn Callaghan…oh my.

Beautiful moving footballer is Finn Callaghan , beautiful left foot kick , kicks it a mile and his kicks go quickly, gives the leading forwards a big advantage , and is very strong , dosnt get caught with the ball very much and if and when he does he still has the strength to get the ball forward , tipping all australian this year .

Finn is related to Bevo by marriage his dad Brett Married into the Beveridge family . Brett is also a Melbourne supporter so hopefully he comes back to Melbourne under the red white and blue.

He was BOG by a fair margin in an impressive GWS performance. Considering who they had out, the Giants absolutely ran over the top of the Pies after spending most of the 3rd quarter defending deep while Collingwood held sway.
Big games for Whitfield and Taylor too. No idea how Daicos will get his 3 Brownlow votes after that.

I and astounded by Macraes decision to keep playing Daicos when it was obvious he was done and then proceeded to sub out Hoskin Elliott the only forward actually doing anything in the second qtr .
Pendlebury is done as is Sidebottom, too slow can’t chase and are just link players now if they get it .
I personally think leaving Daicos on in that state shows he Macrae has no confidence in his midfield without him . It showed today as well .

Collingwood about where I thought they were

Glad the dumbass opening round is done, now lets start the real stuff.

I watched a bit of GWS vs Pies match. Anyone else think the (I think) new commentator sounds like a 3DB race caller from the 60/70’s? IMO flat & boring & thought he was biased towards the Plastics. If he is the best Fox can come up with as a new commentator then yuk.

lol I don't think anyone in VIC, WA or SA would have barely realised footy was back. Exact same as last year. I've no idea if the northerners care enough. This year with the cyclone I highly doubt it.

It's an absolute debacle. It kills all the hype of footy being back.

[jeemak]

Pies fans are online bragging about being top four after the first round.
