Carlton-Richmond would be a snore, once again, if it wasn't for it being the opening game. Let's see how many Brownlows Walsh gets in his first game.
Collingwood-Geelong might be Game of the Round just for being the only match-up of 2 2018 finalists playing each other, hopefully it delivers.
Adelaide-Hawthorn may also be Game of the Round simply for what it could deliver. Adelaide could start their campaign here or Hawthorn could, once again, surprise everyone by winning in enemy territory. Hawthorn, from 2 games, has never beaten Adelaide in the first round (1991 and 2011).
Footscray-Sydney is a skip. Brisbane-West Coast has always been a good contest and it's unfortunate that FTA Vics can't watch the game. Good time to fire up Apple TV.
St. Kilda-Gold Coast is another skip, but would still rather watch it over the Thor game.
GWS-Essendon is another Game of the Round possiblitiy based on what it could deliver, especially seeing as Essendon is becoming the place where the good Giants end up going.
Fremantle-North is...there. It'll be close, it'll be better than the Robot Uterus game, but it's not really exciting.

The player I'm looking forward to watching is playing Melbourne so hopefully Xavier Duursma survives to see Carlton in Round 2

P.S. TheCount, you might wanna fix those Sunday times.

Richmond by 38

Cheers, I had a child losing the plot over yoghurt and forgot to finish changing it all from JLT

Bahaha, I left the room just as he was talking about his new mate, and now I'm devastated I did. Some last minute editing there, I'll bet they're glad they never mentioned any names.

I was thinking, "Did Jesse get plastic surgery over the off-season? He really has gone off the deep-end."

 

[TheCount]

Ergh, the fawning over Walsh is going to be insufferable isn't it. Hah! and as I was typing they even replayed it, cooing over what was really a pretty regulation kick.

He’s gonna be a hell of a player, but he’s had four touches and three clangers.

‘Gee he looks like he’s been there for years’

Yeah absolutely agree, the kid has it, it's clear as day already, but while the 4 disposals is good, what he's done with them is nothing to be carried away with.

 

[TheCount]

I really like that they've got Razor Ray in the commentary box, much prefer an educated opinion than BT running off on tangents that are completely false.

 

[TheCount]

Haha, different colours, same Mav Weller ... bloke is the living embodiment of doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

 

[TheCount]

Haha, oh Carlton ... and they didn't even get to ride the wave success of their 5 goal opening qrt before being smacked down to where they belong like last year.

Can already hear the callers on SEN - "We were playing a Top 4 team, I'm still confident in our season"

 

[Tulip]

The Tigers look a bit underdone too.

 

[TheCount]

Fancy kicking your teams second goal of the game almost halfway thru the second qrt, and carrying on like Thomas just did ... absolutely horrendous!

 

[dee_mac]

Cripps is such a gun. I love watching him play

 

[Tulip]

Walsh's DE is about 52% which is hella bad, but bloody hell he looks like a natural runner/accumulator.

 

[TheCount]

Looks like ACL territory for Rance that. Initially in a lot of pain before he slowly jogs off ... it's got all the hallmarks. Tho to be fair, he might've just been trying to get a free kick and going really over the top with it.

 

[TheCount]

The worst thing is, the fact that he doesn't do anything with his disposals will be completely irrelevant when it comes to the media ... the Adam Treloar Rule, if you will.

He will get there though. Adjusting to the pace of AFL yada yada. I strongly suspect he can play

It does look that way. I think he was supposed to be a good user in the TAC Cup, so it's likely as you say, just taking some time to adjust to the speed and pressure, rather than being a Toump who was a good user at pre-draft, but was never able to control his bowels when under pressure

 

[TheCount]

Also it needs to be said, and certainly to old mate who thought Melbourne would rather having him than Oliver, but Charlie Curnow has been heads and shoulders the worst on tonight. Just took his first mark of the night a few mins ago uncontested on the wing.

Toump was something else again. Still no idea whether it was poor drafting or his hip injury, but all time terrible top four recruit he has covered. Hats off to him because that is a win of sorts.

 

[Tulip]

Cale Morton probably would have been okay in a strong culture. The Toump just didn't have it in him.

Lucky kick off the ground there. He really is an ordinary player isn't he! Im amazed three clubs have invested in him. He's a horrible kick and decision maker.
