20 years ago someone would have done through Pickett there like a dodgy vindaloo…

There’d be nowt left of him but a stain on the turf.

Pickett on Pickett action, Byron would have ran through him, commentators would have had a field day.

Carlton look like us last year. Slow and clumsy but still getting it done.

 

[gringo2011]

Cowan's a goer.

Carlton look like us last year. Slow and clumsy but still getting it done.

I'd actually say Tigers are more like us, screwing around with a little in the back half, random spreads at a jog, relatively easy shots on sprayed waaay left or right and doing just enough to be rather even in general but down 2-3 goals.

Except that they look deliberate.

Except that they look deliberate.

Membrey is very precise when he drifts left or pushes right, King spent a season getting critqued about how many times he spun a ball or how many steps he took and at what angle, these are very deliberate acts.

Blues are kicking straight, that's not us, we struggle hard.

What a shit show of a game this is...

Well a pretty even first quarter. Tigers missed a couple of sitters so very close all round.

 

[Barrels]

I feel like we say it every year, but bugger me it’s getting hard to watch AFL with the standard of umpiring as it is…

My dudes this is a stinker

Shit game, ey.

 

[George]

Umpiring absolutely shocking as usual lol

 

[George]

Dunno if this is the reason but I don't particularly like the 1 pre-season game before Round 1. I think the players need to develop at least a bit of momentum heading into the season otherwise you (in my opinion) have a bigger chance of getting shit games like this

Reckon our scratch matches were better.

Is it 2018? Two goals to four is horrific.

watching this game, no one should be criticising the saints ball use on Sunday. This is putrid by 2 teams apparently in top 4 contention..

This game is being set up for a 10 minute dusty masterclass for Richmond to run away with it

“50 metres A-BUSE!!!”

Tigers have never been pretty users but this is ugly. Round one often looks pretty rusty and not always a guide to the season proper. These Tigers v Blues games always seem shit too.

At least they've put in another pokies machine in the form of a fourth umpire. Nothing better than adding more opportunities to get it wrong.

 

[StFly]

Well, it's not a 5 goal lead, but boy is my narrative for this game looking on point thus far. What a sad state of affairs where you can call a result a few hours before a bounce of a ball, where's the theatre.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Richmond look old.

It was fine the first quarter. Second not as good.

Ok looks like this game is opening up
