He doesn't have to do much to be effective. Pretty sure he is one of the favourites down at the club after only 1 game :)
That'd be about right. The club's already lost faith in all the drug cheats and have taken a liking to an outsider...3 time premiership Cat.;)

And Goddard don't forget. And I bet Del Santo wished he did end up at Essendon like he told me grand final week 2013. Wanted to play a long side his best mate Goddard :)

Anyone else smart enough to put Jobe down as captain? 1873 with 4 left to play.
I'm not happy with either my Fantasy, DT or SC teams this season and many of my last minute changes have been shit. The only saving grace with stupidly not taking Ablett in Fantasy was that I was only left with Jobe as a captain option this week, so yeah silver lining. 1712 with 6 to come. Can someone please quote this post in 11 months time and remind me that this season will be my last playing these forms of fantasy football. I take it way too seriously.

No surprise that North over hyped and under delivered like always. Flogs. Great win for the bombers. No doubt moondog MD Son of God would be happy with Chappy tonight. Maybe even rubbing one off as we speak!
North are my perennial 'overrated' side. I don't think I'll ever rate them again. Season after season people say they'll be good and their young midfielders will step up. I'm sick of hearing Ziebell, Cunnington, Atley, Bastinac blah blah blah. Individually, they consistently have one great game, two good games and two less than satisfactory games out of five. I honestly don't think I could've handled the last five seasons being a North supporter.

I didn't get a chance to listen to any talkback last week, how ******* good is it to have it back! So looking forward to 11:05 when the Crunch Time tune starts up. Not quite as good as "...and there's cricket, on the radio" on the ABC, but it's right up there.

You know what? would be a death wish if you supported Melbourne. Will struggle to win 5 games this season. An absolute shambles.
That glasshouse of yours just needed a bit more ventilation, eh? I guess it would spoil the symmetry of the place if you still had one intact pane somewhere.

You do realise it's Round 1? I know you think Essendon has won the premiership already......or St.Kilda, whoever you go for now anyway.


I didn't watch alot of the game tonight but when I did I thought Jack Watts looked really good. Promising atleast for Melbourne supporters.

Both teams were ****** before three quarter time. Dees were never going to get back with their only big forward concussed and a couple other walking wounded. It was a great effort though, their recruits all had great games, Tyson especially.

Melbourne have been the match fit team for years now.

No hope early but once they get fit you need to be careful.

They either don't push hard enough during preseason or just don't have the conditioning staff that can get the results.

Dane Swan top 2 players in the competition and will continue to be until he retires in 2+ seasons.
We all know who the best player in the competition is, that's obvious, but Selwood is closing fast.

Swan is daylight behind those 2 players in terms of sheer ability, effectiveness and leadership.

I'm actually surprised people still rate a player who's foot skills are 'average' (yes average) or fails to pay any respect to his opponent. I'm also surprised you rate your own captain, or Pendlebury below.

The Saints gave me 7 from 8 tips, happy days.:)

I'm still waiting for Eth to bring up the stats that show how Melbourne had so much of the ball (Swan logic) yet with little effect.

Sorry Wise Guy Sam and Marlowe, truly feel for you guys.

Out of interest, where do you rate Dangerfield?

Selwood is good but until he wins a brownlow ...

By the way, ASADA investigation aside, where do you rate Jobe Watson?

Coming from a Swans fan who suffered the most embarrassing loss of the season against GWS. The lid isnt off at Tullamarine. We play Hawks on Friday Night. Always great to get a win in round 1 especially when everyone has written you off from day 1.

Saints are my 2nd team only due to the fact this lady friend goes for them and I 'like' her. I don't usually mix business with pleasure but she's also the Swamprats massage lady.
