Opinion 2019 Non Crows - Watts love got to do with it? #pick1herewecome

[Rankine2Rachele]

I think I only have one winner so far.

Ditto, and that was the first game of the round and 1 off the margin.

It's not just the injury. It's everything. He's cooked.

Are you Mark Robinson by any chance? Love the controversial big calls.

I have that Jim Morrison tattoo on my face

 

[Big Crow]

Yes, but why? It looked like an intense, battle every inch, arm wrestle kind of game. Both teams were fit and fast enough to close down any free players very rapidly. Pretty intimidating and I wonder how Crows will go against that kind of game this year.

Bad. Crows will go bad in that kind of game.

Bad. Crows will go bad in that kind of game.

Seems to be a style Crows deliberately try to avoid playing. Yesterday showed it again where as soon as we got the ball to a free outside player in a contest, kicking it on was the first aim. Works well for a fast moving game when we're kicking well (like 2017) but when we're off a bit, the ball usually ends up in a turnover and comes right back.

It was scary watching the dominant teams in 2016 like WB, GWS, Sydney that were all playing the contested run and carry game. Wonder if we'll ever try to play that style of game.

Looks like Saints will be a contender for the spoon

Is Lukosius playing?

 

[pjcrows]

This game sums up AFL.

Disgusting broadcast. Disgusting shadow from a disgusting design error. Disgusting skills. Disgusting commentary. Disgusting propped up side vs Disgusting manufactured side. Disgusting jumpers. Disgusting umpiring.

Yes

 

[FAITH]

At least we aren’t last on the ladder!

this is sad, afc have made its supporters content just not to be last on the ladder.

 

[footy4ever]

I think I only have one winner so far.

Same.

Not surprised to see Gold Coast beating St Kilda.

s**t teams can often beat other s**t teams if they are passionate and it looks like GC have a good mix of triers and young talent. Not enough to beat the big guys but enough to hunt and scrag at the crap teams.

Also think they have a good coach which is something neither Carlton nor St Kilda have

 

[Eagleboy2011]

GC seem to have more structure than the AFC yesterday.

 

[Idontpullout]

Of the 4 minutes I've seen of this gc game, luko seems to be in the thick of it.
I've seen enough, bring home home.

 

[pjcrows]

GC seem to have more structure than the AFC yesterday.

Well coached.

 

[Scorpus]

Really hope the Suns win this. Love their intensity despite having a clearly poor team

 

[pjcrows]

How bad are the Saints. Suns with one of the worst fielded AFL teams since the Fitzroy days.

 

[Scorpus]

Some shocking umpiring in this last 5 minutes

 

[treeman]

St kilda have a narrow win.
Not sure who I wanted to win.

Gold coast were dumb they had opportunity to make it a draw and kicked to the top of the square on two occasions

Draw could have been the best outcome for Carlton finishing last......

 

[relapse]

I cannot see what the hype is with Peter Wright, 4 years in and he's still the same laconic, disinterested player he was when he first started.

Every time I have seen him it just feels like he's just going through the motions knowing that his spot in the side is as safe as houses.

Giants looking strong

Giants looking strong

Getting rid of selfish ball-hoggers like Shiel, Smith and Treloar has been good for them

For a bit of context -
2018 Round 1
Hawthorn beat Collingwood by 34 points.
Sydney beat West Coast (in Perth) by 39 points.
