That's the O'Shea we know and love. Kicks out of defence - intercepted by North player.

The winners so far are pretty much as expected with the exception of Adelaide on Friday. But the margins in the Richmond, North and West Coast games are probably more than most people thought they would be. Carlton have looked OK at times such as early on against Richmond and the last half against Collingwood but they are really getting "sliced up a treat" here.
Gold Coast can't have expected a win at Optus but after they got 3 goals to close the gap to 2 points they wouldn't have expected they'd be 54 points down at half time

Almost like watching night series games at Norwood Oval in the old days.

I almost wrote that, then thought I'd be showing my age.

Liam Jones as elite key defender didn't last long, hey.

Carlton are down 103-28. North Melbourne player is lining up for another goal.

Matthew Richardson: "This is where it gets really dangerous for Carlton."

Long sleeves!

That's all I brought, along with a short temper, butterfingers, and mouthing off from the interchange.

Carlton with the most 1st round draft pick players are playing like GWS in their first year.

Shirts are OK, but it would be better if a team were wearing light shorts and socks, indeed.

Or the home team can wear whatever they like, and the visitors if necessary, find a contrasting top, shorts, and socks, from their choices?

SATURDAY NIGHT FOOTY YEAH

The afl just embarrass themselves witg their prime time games.

Just thinking it's a wonderful advertisement for sport. Basketball, Rugby ( both codes) Baseball, Ice Hockey, Gridiron. AFL not so much. You want to sell this game overseas we have to do something about lack of depth at the top end.

No we don't. There should always be dominant teams and shit teams in any era. The trick is to rotate it around with reasonable equalisation methods. There's enough upsets still to keep it interesting but the 'any given Sunday' approach where everyone should be competitive every game bores me.

CARLTON makes everyone else look world-beaters. That's why they got so many primetimes games!

Victorians would rather this than a showdown. AFL just serving the market.

I can't wait for more Carlton Friday night games. Previously it was just indifference to how non-vic clubs got ****ed by scheduling, now it's legitimate anger.

 

[ROBBBO]

WTF Kane Cornes shared this on his FB page sorry if its already been posted, i had to laugh, someone is thinking

 

[HinkleysHeroes]

Carlton seem to be the team playing shit teams into form this year. First the pies and now the Roos. Hopefully we do not come up against an out of form team the week after their Carlton match.

The NBA does the other way around, which is interesting. The visitors travel with only one kit, while the home team adjusts to it. It makes sense.

Kennedy getting back to where he left off. He'll still win the coleman

That makes zero sense to me. The home team should be able to whatever it likes on it's home deck in front of home crowd.

Someone fill this guy in on 2014...

Lowest score at Blundstone Arena - beating the 3.15(33) kicked by St Kilda.

We only play once a week so teams have enough time to get home and pick up a new kit if necessary

It is easier for whoever has the entire wardrobe at its disposal to adjust for whatever the guest is wearing, don't you think?
