Yeah, pretty much. Great to see the Bombers really take it to the Pies ... does that make us the first team to even really challenge them this season? Carlton did get about as close, but honestly I've kind of forgotten that game. Wish we could've nudged in front when we were just a point down! But thrilling footy, besides that atrocious first quarter.

Can almost draw parallels between Richmond's match against Carringbush a week earlier. Carringbush easily controlled the first and last, but Richmond/Essendon came back very strongly at times in both the second and third quarters..
Fremantle and Footscray was arguably the match of the day though, and it didn't disappoint, critical result. Freo are top 4 contenders for sure.

What a great round of football. I was camping in the forest all weekend but we had a radio. Happy GC beat Port, over the moon we won so well today against Hawthorn. Boyd had 45 touches.
same. those dreds are fucking horrible.

It's actually a drive-thru coffee place too...
A front page story once was an old lady saying her water tasted like rotten eggs. Roland Rocchiccioli is a columnist.
I don't have much "drive" but I reckon if I worked with the bloke for two weeks I could overtake the paper and make it better.

So...I really did not pick the team to beat this season. Rest assured, I'm still following, but mustering up much vigor has proved difficult.

Do you watch the Marngrook footy show each week Bonnie? Cool that it focuses on aboriginal stories & players, but I don't mind it nearly as entertaining as The Footy Show.

The only thing I don't like about the AFL Rights is Channel 7, but wait...if Friday night is live on foxtel, who gives a fuck!

Lecras is back too!!
I'm very upset 10 has lost the rights. They're much better than 7.
Can anyone tell me, I see foxtel are showing all nine games live from next year but are 7 showing their four live?

I've basically resolved to cave in to Foxtel prior to the Rugby World Cup anyway.
Going out right now, will post picks in about an hour.

If I'm understanding that correctly, that means only Friday & Saturday night and Sunday games are gonna be shown live on fta, which is disappointing.
I'm gonna try and push for foxtel, but the rents will say no.
All foxtel games will have no ads!!!!
And Friday night games start at 750!!! AND SATURDAY GAMES AT 145!!!!!!!!! 90 minute delay!
bullshit!

A real shame, as I love watching Sat afternoon games. What the fuck else am I gonna do on a Saturday afternoon?

It is, but I was under the impression we were going to get four or more games fta, all live, every week. You might as well not televise the sat arvo game if it's going to be on a 90 minute delay.
I was under the impression we were going to get raped up the arse by Foxtel, so this was a pleasant surprise to me that we're now going to have more live footy. I can hack Saturday being later if other games are now live. 30 or 90 minutes doesn't make too much difference in the end; I'll probably end up accidentally seeing the score one way or another no matter how delayed the coverage is.

West Coast vs Melbourne - glad the Eagles are looking better this year.
Sydney vs Carlton - Blues haven't won here since 1993 (!!!!!)
North Melbourne vs Port Adelaide - think the only side I'd support Port beating would be GWS (as in, I don't like them, I would tip them sometimes)
Richmond vs Brisbane - Martin is a fucking superstar, and Jacky Boi is getting cheers as loud as the Cho I'm hearing.
Adelaide vs St Kilda - based on the Crows holding them to 37 points in R22 last year, when the Saints were in better touch
Essendon vs Gold Coast - to inflict GC's second 100+ point loss
Collingwood vs Western Bulldogs
The commentary is awful.

Tigers vs Lions (on the verge of picking a draw)

Demons' away uniform is bloody ugly.
But then most of them are. Why do we even need these stupid away uniforms? It's not as if Melbourne and the Weagles even vaguely clash. Have just one fucking uniform with a clash alternative when required.

Have SGIO sponsored WC since the 1400s? Sure seems like it.
Eagles of either glory era would be up by 160 points right now.
