AFL Thread. James Hird Does a Bono!

Oh my god, Essendon. See, this is partly why I've never fully bought into the idea that Essendon will go winless all year. I'm going to assume Essendon turned it into a bit of a scrap.

Jesus fucking christ. Dees supporters going suicide en masse

 

[Axver]

Freo supporters may be suicidal soon at this rate...!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Well, Freo ...

 

[LemonMelon]

...How is this the first 2-0 start for North in 11 years? They've been too competitive for a tag like that.

 

[Axver]

It's dangerous to eulogise a team this early in the season, but if Freo don't get it together soon then somebody will need to stick a fork in them.

Before last week they hadn't won a round 1 match in 6-7 years ...

Yeah looks like they hadn't won since 2009 and it took a match with an absolutely awful Melbourne club to make it happen. That was the year the Dees got questioned for tanking.

I'm so depressed Melbourne lost.

 

[Axver]

Looks like GWS are putting on a good early showing against Geelong.

 

[bono_man2002]

To be fair, Geelong are coming off a massive premiership hangover from last week.

 

[Axver]

The Cats have gone completely missing. This makes GWS's loss last week all the more inexplicable.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Watching the SANFL 'Showdown' and the main commentator uses the same phrase constantly, makes Dwayne look like a brilliant wordsmith.

 

[LemonMelon]

I don't understand what's going on this season. Who are these teams?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Brave win by GWS against the premiership favourites.

 

[bono_man2002]

Just couldn't quite go back to back.

West Coast being absolutely dominated again.

 

[LemonMelon]

Good defensive pressure so far. We almost look like a real club!

This is going to be ugly, but it's nice to see us playing hard. The real test is if we can play four quarters of competent footy.

 

[LemonMelon]

Yeesh. So far the answer is no. Zero offensive threat from us so far.

 

[LemonMelon]

Horrendous 10 minutes of footy. We actually had the chance to get within a goal but couldn't kick it through the sticks. Then the defense gave out. Unsurprisingly, a lot of work is still to be done.

I don't know why they're being assholes and shoving Swans players at every opportunity. Guys, focus on not being shit.

Time for the next thread.
