Review Things you learnt from Rnd 1?

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Things I got from Rnd 1.
That the Jack & Tom show will offset the loss of Rance.Not their best games for obvious reasons.But once they gel look out.
Of the other games.In general most years there are upsets in Rnd 1.All sides were fumbly so you can't take to much notice.
Hats off to Brisbane.
Your kidding has to go too the Bombers.

Jack Graham and Jack Higgins look like they’ve gone up another level, which is great to see, but we all learnt that this weekend.

As for opposition, it was such a weird round that no one knows what was happening!

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

It's a new year with new surprises...

 

[BKM78]

That like last year, we are the team to beat.

 

[SavDog23]

I learnt that Jack Higgins is even more of a Gun and will win the Norm Smith.

I also learnt that the Pies, Blues and Bummers are ******* s**t.

 

[Drofder]

The games were interesting, but I learnt that unlike the actual standard of the football over the weekend, the quality of the chicken schnitzel burgers at the G was still up to scratch (thank goodness).

AFL doesn’t hide that they rig matches

norf still lol worthy

norf still lol worthy

But, but big signings but.

 

[Cotcho]

That the umpires have still got it in for Essendon and the AFL will do everything in it's power to prevent them from being successfully so long that any falsely accused drug cheat remain on the list.....







lol FAKE

 

[guruisatiger]

I learned that round 2 comes after round 1. Super Nintendo Chalmers told me

 

[Dr Tigris]

Carlton have a bunch of talent. But are no where near our level.

Tom and Jack could be a huge thing.

Jack Higgins and Graham (of course) are going to be good AFL players cause a heap of pain.

Balta has the potential to be a very useful player to us this year, whilst also not being fully ready for the AFL level.

The number of our players that aren't in form is fairly high. Watch out when the rust is gotten rid of.

 

[theyellowsash]

jack and tom are going to need time, but we already knew that

our midfield is still as shallow as a puddle

we need georgie back

 

[tropicaltiger]

learnt that, thanks to a few upsets we got 4 points and percentage ahead from our main scum rivals.... pies, dees, crows and weagles who ALL would have been eyeing off a top 2 spot.....makes it slightly harder for them now, and makes ours that fraction easier.

1) I learned that we have added a string to our game-plan bow. Our forward momentum be it kick forward handpass or knock on was even more pronounced than the past two years, and we move the ball faster and more direct than any other team (and I watched every game on the weekend). And we are REALLY quick.
2) Carlton are now a mid table team and will win almost as many as they lose unfortunately.
3) Bombers will fight it out for the wooden spoon between Saints and GCS.

Ignoring JLT form is a fools frustration

 

[DontArgue4]

- Lynch will be huge for us, give him a few weeks and he will be regularly kicking 5
- Jack Graham is ready to step up
- Jack Higgins is a genuine star
- Trent Cotchin is still unbelievably good, and is now underrated
- This year is wide open
- Balta will play a factor for us this year, may not play every game but will feature a lot and will be big for us
- JLT form cannot be ignored anymore now that it is only 2 games
- New rules are s**t, especially no runners

 

[Ashman OG]

Carlpoo need to take a hard look at Brisbane’s rebuild

 

[DoItForCaptBlood]

A long term injury to a gun player is depressing!!

 

[Sir_Loin]

Learnt that despite the rules changes it was the lowest scoring opening round in 60+ years.

The standard of footy was absolutely dog s**t. Hope it improves.

 

[tiggywigs]

Looking like the runner restrictions are going to have the biggest effect of the new rules by a mile.
Players are blowing up (can't get off the ground for orderly rotations) and coaches can't quickly counter unforeseen tactical ploys being used by other side.
Would not be surprised if the rule is scrapped or heavily modified by mid season.

Players should know when to get off for a break. Dumb campaigners!!

 

[captain blood 17]

What i learnt is we will learn all about our club over the next month without Rance. The real test for season 2019 is about to come.

Interesting piece on that by kingy suggested that Tigers were starting a winger on defensive side , was then bolting backwards and rotating with a teammate , bloos couldn’t work out what was going on , and no runner to help with the answer , suggests to me that some brilliant coaching moves or even player lead could really bamboozle young sides
