Poor sides tend to start the season well but tire, thats why whilst in an ideal world we would have pumped Carlton in rd 2 we just did enough to win.

Teams like Carlton/Brisbane/North will be significantly easier to play against as the year goes on, morale goes down and their kids tire. There is always a lot more floggings in the last couple months of the season than any other time due to this reason.

Yeah great call. Carlton is also getting younger every couple of weeks as well, this week with Kreuzer out (huge loss) and Thomas (probably an improvement)

Is that a website or a dedicated room in your house?

its a lifestyle choice ..

On a related note, feel like we got the best chance with the Dons in terms of timing, 5 day break + the dirty dozen struggling after that early burst.

It could be both.

Carlton seem to battle when Kreuzer goes down. Phillips was useless around the ground while Kreuzer might have taken more than a few grabs. Longs punts to no one all over during the first half.

It's important to differentiate in that if it is a website I may like to visit. If it's a room in his house, I surely do not

It could be a website of a room in his house where [things] happen.

The Dogs are currently making our defence look positively air-tight. Lions would be roughly 5 goals from 5 inside 50s. They've also shanked about 6 shots at goal.

It's gotten worse, Lions going nuts! 4 goals in 5 minutes!

 

[Topkent]

Got ****ed up with the missus last night so I'm having the night in.

Watching the Lions pump the dogs in this second is magical, I'm seeing the Lions forwards all tackling and pressuring

Seeing Mitch Robinson wreak havoc forward makes me want to see Viney go forward

 

[Cannon82]

Also, I really like Bob Murphy, but these guernseys with "Bob 300" on them or whatever it says just below the collar... garbage.

12 goals 3 from 20 inside 50s.

That should be reserved for a Troy Broadbridge/John McCarthy type thing

Or for when a Ted Whitten/Ron Barrassi passes

Not when a bloke plays hes 300th

 

[Proper Gander]

Brisbane have some talented players. Hipwood is going to be quite something.

Agreed. Can't be bothered posting this in the unpopular opinion thread, but clubs should be more sparing with the black armbands as well. Really should be limited to people who have played or worked for a club.

Remember when they were asking for a priority pick? Turns out like us they just needed a decent coach and ceo

I think we all knew that. AFL are specialists in poorly thought out pointless gestures. This lot are going to be very good if they can keep the team together. They're not easybeats. Actually nobody is - though Port were pretty fortunate to be playing the Carlton under-19s yesterday.

 

[Topkent]

Toby McLean can * right off as well

 

[Topkent]

Hipwood looks 15 but Watts and Hogan should look at his tackling pressure

Those 2 need to do some dirty work if we are to ever improve

 

[HANDSOLO]

Feel like the umps are going for the dogs.

Agree hogan needs to tackle - i have the feeling watts is doing it much better this year

 

[booshboy]

I reckon clubs will be spewing they didnt go after Rockliff last year. The mans a clearance machine and could've got him for a steal.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Zorko is going nuts!

 

[MarcMaverick]

First it was the battle of the Tom Lynches and now its the battle of the Sam Reids' in the SCG.

 

[schmuttt]

Don't you dare wreck my multi Freo you campaigners

 

[djpaulydemon]

Adelaide are great to watch. They space the ground, get out of each others way and hit up leads.

They play like a team of the 80's or 90's and kick bags like them too. It would be great if there style came back in vogue.
