footy Round 1 - Banter is back

Its back . Know there is the tipping page but not everyone is in that. So here go.
Don't think there is any particular one we can start to "pick" on with this one, but its good to be back.
Let it all start again.
Will also "bump" the top8 predictor for last predictions.
Good luck to all, but I take it back for everyone not an Eagles (or to a lessor extent Dockers) fan.
No longer really "2 team", more like 1 1/2.

 At the moment we are, and deservedly so. But I think we will have a better idea after next week and then we can start to filter out the anomalies from round 1.

 See how you go after the Hawks next week, and round 3, well I've already pencilled in a Freo win there.

Don't forget its only round 1

Sun, 2016-03-27 19:59

Don't forget its only round 1 Freo looked like they needed the run. New brand of match play didn't work.
How awful were the Lions. Shameful display
Collingwood can only get better cause they cant get worse, can they ?? Oh that's right they can, Swanny is gone and if he comes back will never be the same.

 if Brisbane had played that well, but instead, against the Dockers, Brissie would have cleaned them up. They played well, look promising, I'd be happy if I were a Lions fan.

 If freo play like yesterday

Mon, 2016-03-28 08:28

 If freo play like yesterday at home against gold coast we will get smashed.  But i suspect we won't play that bad two weeks in a row . Yes JK did kick more than freo yesterday.  JK's at the top of his game ATM.  Not long ago, Pav was at the top of his game and did kick more than west coast in a derby.   All swings in round abouts.

I am not going to defend yesterdays game.  It was the worst i have seen since lyon came to the club.  Simply woeful.  We can only go one way at the moment.  We are where we deserve to be.

But its only a game.  Ask 65 families in patistan this morning how important a game of AFL is this morning.  I am grateful for the fsct that my biggest concern at the moment is only that my team got smashed.

Good start by the Eagles.

Sun, 2016-03-27 20:37

Just got back from the game.
Eagles did well but u gotta give it to the Lions. Any team that scores 100 points at Domain has gotta be happy with their game.
Next week the Eagles will know if they did a good pre-season.
I am hoping they did. Lol

Mon, 2016-03-28 09:19

 At times it looked like the Eagles was toying with Brisbane but the much lauded defense didn't live up to it.

Try that against better opposition and you loose.

Should have killed them off imo
