'Richmond look young and quick and exciting'

IN: Steve Morris, Nick Vlaustin

ADELAIDE has burst Richmond's bubble with a 76-point belting on Sunday to become the AFL's only unbeaten side.
well bugger me, who saw that coming?

Jesus H Christ. Who can beat Adelaide?

Edit: Sam Jacobs 50 hitouts, get ******

I want to see Geelong play them. They caused the Crows a lot of problem restricting their ball movement last year. Adelaide is clearly now a better side but they're yet to be tested by anyone set up well.

Want to see what the proper GWS does. The Dogs reverting to their 2016 style should also cause Adelaide problems.

Those will be ripper matches. The Geelong one will be mental.

Crows will smash the Cats they got pantsed by Collingwood. Only team that can come close is GWS a team full of first round picks.

Not sure about that as Collingwood's performance today was predictable (as was Geelong's). Virtually nothing said in the media about Collingwood is accurate because it all seems to start from the concession that "Buckley can't kick the ball for the players" when the question to be asked is "does anyone think that Buckley is getting more than 70% out of what he has at his disposal?" and "is Collingwood set up in a way that reflects its strengths and guards against its weaknesses?"

When you've got a midfield built on Pendlebury, Treloar, Adams, Sidebottom and, at least in a contested sense, Crisp which is being backed up by Grundy there is not really any match that you can't win.

That's basically every point I wanted to make surrounding Collingwood, but in a far more succinct and eloquent manner.

Great post
