Week 1 - the other games

[Proper Gander]

Hi there.

The season starts in less than 5 hours. This is the thread for discussion of the other games happening over the next four days. I haven’t had time to make it as pretty as the ones TheCount normally posts, but I’ll update shortly with match times and details.

So have at it, starting with Richmond v Carlton.

Our one? No I’m deliberately excluding that as not being “other” enough for the thread

Yeah I have missed Suns WC. I’ll fix that

can't leave out the Toast Cup

Wet Toast v Cold Toast

 

[00Stinger]

on the toast cup I reckon it is the most likely upset of the round

Gold Coast to get up and beat West Coast just like last year

I’ll put them back in. WC is the team I forget exists almost every round every year. Made 2018 really confusing

Cats
Bombers
Lions
Port

Very iffy on bombers/hawks and GWS/saints.

Dogs v Pies will be a belter.

Picking the Saints with their injuries isn't conservative imo

I agree but you never know what to expect from a young team and they've never won i. Perth.

I'll probably change my mind a bunch of times on that one but I still think they should get the job done. That and essendon/hawks are killing me.

Essendon should win that easy I think

But you never know what wonders Clarko has done with him team over the off-season

Omac is the injury sub for Carlton. He's playing his first game for Carlton! If he doesn't get subbed on he'll have the exact same impact as his Melbourne days lol.

Interesting start to the game. Richmond unusually dominating clearance but also have conceded two goals at ground level in D50 which is very unusual.

Nankervis rucking quite well. Interesting game.

Carlton also moving the ball well, and good delivery to forward 50. Making the best of their opportunities.

Subbed on for Jack Silvagni. What an inspiring pair!
