[Righteo]

After 6 years on 3 different lists, Sam Menegola makes his long awaited AFL debut. To say he deserves it is an understatement.

This one has high potential, cannot pick the winner here.

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

No Smith or Henderson + our poor form makes me not confident of a win.

 

[Hobbes]

Ridiculous to say that Adelaide are 3rd on the ladder. At the beginning of the round, we were 2nd. Sydney have played one more game than us, and lost one more game than us.

 

[class78]

Crows by 50



Go Catters.

 

[DrZaius]

Ugh these channel 7 intros are so cringey to watch.

 

[CrowMan90]

No Smith or Henderson + our poor form makes me not confident of a win.

Im never confident playing Geelong in Geelong. With the weather as it is, it makes me more worried. Im thinking either, Adelaide in a close one or Geelong by 3-5 goals. Hopefully Im proven wrong on that one.

 

[Twist_of_Lemon]

Not to want to downplay our chances, but at Kardinia Park?

 

[sameolds33]

hope this is as good as it could be

 

[Donakebab]

Make that three goals Richo.

 

[daniel_4tw]

Good start from goal square Jenkins

 

[Ressies runner]

Congrats Enright

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Close win to Geelong or a blow out to Adelaide.

 

[little graham]

something strange unfolding...

 

[SuperSub17]

Bartel with the cheap dive

 

[The Joker]

Bartel needs to be fined for that flop.

 

[The Joker]

Suck s**t Dangerfield

 

[A Swallow]

Gee Ruggles is ordinary.

 

[Hawkers]

Should be a free against Mackie there

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Throw?

 

[A Swallow]

Jesus umpire you watched Mackie throw that.

 

[Bradesmaen]

No Smith or Henderson + our poor form makes me not confident of a win.

Was that AFL mandated to prevent confusion?

 

[Bradesmaen]

Is Talias nickname the bear? because he bear hugs everyone all the time.

 

[Hawkers]

Not 15 there

 

[The Joker]

Sloane is allll over Danger, it's great viewing...
