Sydney/WC is the greatest football rivalry of the last 3 decades, at least when it comes to match quality.

Unbelievably amazing, Syndey had no right geting that close, yet they did. Amazing team.

Lions vs. Hawthorn was an awful match, just ugly. Hawks suck whenever they play away.

Sydney/WC is the greatest football rivalry of the last 30 decades, at least when it comes to match quality.

Not quite 300 years.

Seaby really impressed me tonight, didn't think he had it in him. The Eagles' midfield desperation gave them a distinct advantage and probably was the difference in the end. Hall played too far up the ground to have a match winning impact, WC just dominated any ball that came in long. Can't really see anyone beating them to the flag this year, Cousins or not. Still yet to see what impact the addition of talls like Darcy does to the Bulldogs forward line though.

Yeah, possible slight exaggeration there

How good was Kerr's tackle in the dying minutes?! He was amazing, played a brilliant match.

My Tips for the rest of the round:

Sydney v West Coast
Adelaide v Essendon
Bulldogs v Geelong
Carlton v Richmond

Only change is WCE/SYD game.

Well that was a stupid decision.

Was more stupid on McVeigh's (or maybe his teammates for not telling him he's hot) behalf than it being a good tackle by Kerr, IMO.

Tips correct so far:

Camel - 2/5
Smith - 3
Mitchell - 3
Gelman - 3
Jack - 3
Buddh - 1
Altoz - 2
Linda - 4
Myles - 2
Borcich - 3
Thad - 1
Clapo - 3
Ullungura - 2
Donald - 2
Willo - 2
Fuller - 4
Chulk - 3
Jono - 2
Archie - 1

Fairly board, tbh.

You have to put into context how much Kerr had busted his gut the whole match though, and the fact that he had gone missing for most of the 4th qtr, yet still just steam rolled forward and took down McVeigh.

The vision they had of Kerr going off the ground and then keeling over struggling to breathe was amazing. Used to always show Cousins doing the same thing.

far our wanted someone else to play better than kerr.... his head will explode when he wins the brownlow medal because if he plays like that most of the time he's gunna be earnin some bling.... oh and his tackle on Hall woah



p.s what are blackmans thoughts on the game????? .... hahaha again suckerrrr


oh and mitch brown on debut. watch out

 

[Johnners]

Dream team is screwed already, i didn't check the teamlists properly, and i've got Bode, Cox, Embley, Grant & N Brown, none of which have played, or are playing this round.

 

[superkingdave]

Pretty gutted at yesterdays result tbh.

At the end of the day the umpires robbed us though.

 

[ash chaulk]

dons looking the goods atm... still look slow in the midfield but davey looks to be exciting around half forward.

 

[ash chaulk]

and Ian Perrie is a crab

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Adelaide have been woeful today. Haven't seen skills that poor from us in a couple of years. Wasteful going forward, turnovers galore etc. Pretty impressed with Essendon though, they'll win a lot more than 3 games this year playing like that, whether or not they get up today.

Great game from Scott Thompson though, and Van Berlo had a good first half. Disappointing from just about everyone else.

 

[Jono]

Adelaide have one of the worst forward lines, honestly Burton's carrying it. The Crows were horrible.

Jetta, Davey and Ryder all impressive for the Bombers.

 

[pasag]

Can't believe Essendon won tbh. Anyways, carn the Blues. Cbf going to game though.

Winderlich was awesome too

Great team effort the pressure we applied was great but still fairly concerned about Bradley. Ryder was very very impressive, not timid like he was last year.

Bock's got potential playing forward IMO, but has a long way to go. Welsh and Perrie are way too inconsistent though, and always have been really. And Perrie still can't kick. With no Hentschel all season, it's looking like a major problem.

 

[Johnners]

Suprised Matthew Bode wasn't playing tbh, he looked like he had potential from what i saw last year.

Was good to see Johnson take the Cats through the cleaners, they had nothing on him. Enright was great for Geelong though, and Nathan Ablett had a decent game i thought.
