Well this might still turn ugly but encouraging signs not to be losing by 100 at HT haha

West Coast playing really well at the moment. I hope I haven’t Elmer’d them.

Speaking of Elmer, where's he gone?

Haven't seen one of his backfire predictions for a few months.

I found one of his old posts and his last activity on BF was on January 26th.

Thought we might get blown away but have tried to hand in there in the 3rd quarter.

Had a chance to get it down to 23-24 points but Allen missed on he would usually kick.

Just being competitive is a nice new change cos the last two years have been awful.

You're going to lose by 40+, is that competitive?

The eagles have no injuries (yet), that's a huge win in itself

From where we've been, it's a step forward for sure haha

Apparently this week was the first time in two years they had match committee.

Good start by Freo….

I was on his Twitter the other day. Racism, sexism, homophobia, injury trolling, etc. Nothing is out of bounds for that lunatic. Absolute gold mine though. Highly entertaining reading through his unhinged meltdowns

Dominating now.

You were saying?

 

[SM]

You were saying?

It was still an embarrassing, self-inflicted started regardless of what came next.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

You were saying?

Good turn around.

There would be something wrong with the game plan if we hadn't started terriblly

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

When’s the last time both grand finalists started the following season 0-2?

 

[gaskin]

* you Eagles and your training ground injury curse. You campaigners had us play you there on purpose didn't you?

Apparently this is the first time it’s ever happened.

Lions letting Freo score 8 in a row (for the second week in a row) is rather alarming.

As for the other games:

Swans looked brilliant. Pies in a small hole but they'll fight out of it fine. They've probably just played 2 of the top 4 teams.
Essendon/Hawthorn - competitive game for the most part, don't think either are playing finals though.
Giants just toyed with the Kangaroos. While soundly beaten, they played out the game well.
Geelong/St Kilda - see the Essendon/Hawthorn description. Don't see either being a genuine threat at any point.
GC/Adelaide - Hell of a comeback from the Crows. Another 5 mins would've been very interesting...
Demons/Dogs - Dogs really, really disappointing. It's taken me longer than others but I'm finally starting to concede the top gear I thought they had, doesn't exist.
Port/WCE - watched nothing of it, seems like it went as you'd expect.

Big change in momentum against Carlton when Coleman went off and it continued in Round 1. He’s a massive loss for Brisbane.

Yeah see that would make sense...if they then didn't go do the exact same thing the very next week.

May well be that was coincidental.
