concerning areas, what was the point of opening round again?

To be fair, have you tried packing up an entire retirement home before?

i've had to pack up 2 old people within the last month, so i can relate. i think a professional football club can do it, though!

When you’re the biggest and most successful team in the league you can do what you want

what was the point of opening round again?

****ed if I know… something about money no doubt

Anyway, back to reality:



You’re welcome, Aints/AFL

 

[springvale_mackers]

Finally some common sense thinking by the AFL! COlLOL’s list is old af and their players aren’t able to travel that much anymore. They prefer to stay at home and watch re-runs of Golden Girls while sipping on their lukewarm Earl Grey teas.

The CFL can gagf, don't use us to prop up your pladtic expansion teams.

Are you sure they weren’t Scott Pendlebury and Steele Sidebottom?

You must be pleased that Carlton will avoid losing to Richmond in round 1 again

You do realise on 1st Jan 2026 both Collingwood and Carlton have equal amount of +30yo players on the list

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Actually hope Collingwood flog St Kilda in opening round, the whinging campaigner biscuit of a St Kilda President is forcing us to pay more than is fair for Harry Dean and Cody Walker cause St Kilda players have sperm that only produces girls.

What a toxic loser club the Saints are.

You do realise Carlscum begged off R0 after the first year, right?

Trivia question: which Victorian club has played the most OR games?

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Has to be said Collingwood are the best road/travelling team in the AFL.(Just ask The Crom)

 

[Crumpet_avenger]

Opening round is putrid

Round 1
All teams
Simple

Makes sense for the season to open with Swans and Blues tbh

The rest of round zero and the concept can get in the bin though

Yeah but then we wouldn't have to wait until Round 14 to get everyone on the same amount of Games played.

 

[Footy Is Good]

Obviously we need a closing round.

Anybody?

Sure… if you’re a teenaged WWF fan who likes manufactured villains vs good guys matches

believe it's collingwood!

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Honestly I don't reckon there is any significant advantage or disadvantage playing in round zero.
It's pointless and nonsensical sure and a cynical case grab but doesn't really matter/affect the rest of the league tbj

 

[zackah]

We manufactured a cyclone to get out of it this year. At least be creative D/Hs

 

[Saveloy Rockstar]

^ Which led to you being the only club to ever get thrashed twice in one round

LOL

believe it's collingwood!

Correct. The only club to play 2 OR games interstate
