Autopsy AFL 2026 Opening Round - Swans v Blues Thurs March 5th 7:30pm AEDT (SCG)

[RedWhite4Ever]

Greatest AFL dynasties of the modern era:
Brisbane Lions (2001-2003)
Geelong (2007, 2009, 2011)
Hawthorn (2013-2015)
Carlton (Pre-season 2026- Round 1 2026)

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Big Harry stepped up as the main man.........

 

[Rod Stroker]

Were/are Fox claiming the third highest score in a quarter, or a third quarter?

Cos if it's in a quarter, their list missed out on Geelong's 14.3 (97) in the final quarter v Brisbane.

I just hope both teams try their best and have fun out there.

Swans by 70+

Close enough

 

[Jim Prideaux]

For anyone in need of some quality Blues fans melts

Listen, they all seem like passionate fans, but they look like a rogues gallery of hate crime court attendees.

 

[Cool Kangas]

I know it’s not always on the coach but just wondering why did Carlton actually continue with Voss after last year?

 

[Colonial]

Only 18 years?

Weak as piss.

I know right. That's only like 20% of his clubs life span. I've been a member for 90% of mine. What a rookie.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Sounds pretty woke.

Respect and decency isht woke. It should just be natural

Saad and McGovern, serial potatoes were stuck with also.

Notice that Sydney didn't go after McGovern and let him kick? A McGovern kick is a likely turnover every time.

 

[voorhees]

super impressive display post half time by the swans.
Once it clicked it definitely clicked

 

[VL3OJ]

As John Elliot opined ... "such a tragic history"

Long may it continue

Christ, for a person with your post history you're pretty sensitive about a footballer celebrating a goal.

I see no issue. Cameron celebrates scoring against us. As he should.

 

[voorhees]

Big Harry stepped up as the main man.........

it's his effort and fight that is the worry

 

[rdhopkins2]

Coach swap? Voss for Clarko?
Carlton need to find a higher level.
The North rebuild hasn’t gone well. How much patience will the Kangas have?

I think most people understand Clarko inherited a pretty tough job.

Carlton should be better they have shown. Another couple of weeks and the Blues Board may lose patience.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Lack thereof.......

 

[Wosh]

Respect and decency isht woke. It should just be natural

He kicked goals for his new club, he can celebrate as much as he wants after a win like that. It’s a game not a funeral.

 

[Roobs321]

appears to be the highest scoring quarter since that Bombers 94 against the Suns in 2011

I would say its a tougher job at Carlton. The pressure would certainly be higher.

Last year after Sydney fleeced Carlton for Curnow I remember a few angry Blues fans were adamant that Hayward and Florent were more than salary dumps and would be good AFL players

They're dumps alright.

Nah, you respect the people who shaped your career by not doing that .

Common in EPL not to celebrate against former teams and should be in AFL.

You don’t think ill of people who shaped you as a person, even if it isn’t a human but instead a football club

I'll always be grateful for their contributions to the swans

But watching them both disappear after half time tonight was incredibly satisfying.
