Opposition Camp 2012: Other Games this Round...Now including FINALS

Port Adelaide will beat St Kilda IMO. They are in good form leading to Round 1. That will be the upset of the Round.

I'm still a hater of GWS and the Suns because i truely believe the AFL should have put more time and money into getting a team from Tassie in the comp. If it's going to be " AFL " then each state must be represented. So, in saying that, I hope the Swans absolutely smash them by 150 points, just as i hope every other team does. When GWS play the Suns, i will hope the weather is that crappy everytime that nobody turns up.

Tipping the first round appears a risky buisness. Rich v Carl and Ess v North are games I tossed over (no pun). I hope Rich and North prevail, eh eh eh ehhh!

Anyone else here wanting Fremantle to win?

They have been very good. Players like, Cornes, Pearce, Salopek have been playing good footy, all them looking like having solid years for PA. Pfeiffer, McCarthy and Brad Ebert all look like good pick ups for them.

The Giants not going that badly at the moment....... The young boys are playing with a bit of passion and purpose. I dont really like the Swans, so I am kind of rooting for the Giants. I always like to see underdogs win...

Anyone impressed with number 32 from Sydney? Looks like he has taken it to another level. I can see young hill for the hawks impressing just as much in 2013

Is Brett Kirk immune from wearing a dress shirt and tie as well as black shoes because he has that Buddhist, 'holier than thou' persona about him?

Casual clothes covered by a suit jacket and pants doesn't look good. Neither does suit pants with Chuck Taylor shoes.

Yeah but he's the exception to every rule.

Couldn't agree more. I only watched it on TV & I know it is round 1 but some of the skills on display were dreadful. If I was a Sydney fan I would be pretty disappointed with that effort. Let's hope the standard next week is much higher.

Was Tim Mhor aka the bear aka homer, the dude we were chasing in trade week?
He played well.
That cameron kid is going to be a ripper as well. Hopefully we tap him up next year!

We started the rot last season with Gold Coast and K-Hunt. Mediocre is the new flavour of the AFL.

Being a bit prissy SLB - he was a guest commentator. Ling looked far worse in that hideous black jacket

Crap game, crap atmosphere, crap teams, crap, boring, crap, crap...zzzzzzzzz !!!!!
The real season starts this week, carlton v's richmond is the curtain raiser to the big one...
HAWTHORN V COLLINGWOOD " MCG " FRIDAY NIGHT 80,000 + ..
NOW THATS FOOTBALL...THATS MELBOURNE...THATS ATMOSPHERE..THATS AWESOME !

I certainly hope that's all he was. I was watching it on mute with the radio commentary going so I wouldn't know if he was a once off guest or regular. Even still, I don't know why he couldn't dress like the other commentators. From a visual aspect, he looked as sloppy as hell.

Hodge, Riewoldt and Maxwell are all guest commentators on 7 and they wear suits and ties.

And Ling will always look bad with that head on the screen.

You're thinking of Geelong's Tom Gillies.

I second that notion. Just wish I could freeze myself 'til next Thursday.

As far as tipping goes, I went with North Melbourne on a whim, and every bone in my body told me to tip Fremantle but I went with the crowd. They'll be very good this year. Reckon St. Kilda will do the dose on Port though.

Agree with this one.

Cant wait for fri night, at last the footy is back! Its going to be massive! The other game I am looking forward to watching, is, Rich V Carl. Geez I hope the Tigs can knock off the pretenders.....

There might be a multi in that one, Tigs into the Hawks at the line.....?
