Opinion Dees V Dogs - Sunday MCG 1.00 PM

[House_of_Dahl]

JFC! I just realised that we're 2 rounds into the season and sitting stone cold last on the ladder.

Season over man! Season Over.

After this round zero bullshit the ladder will be broken most of the year...

Unless this round 1 vs Melbourne becomes a set thing, and is actually rotated between the MCG and Marvel, we must be the only club in the AFL without a regular annual fixture game. Not that we ever properly had Good Friday, but just shows how much of a joke losing that game was.

Labor day is still open.

What about Round 1 last year? Hannan, Bruce, Duryea, off the top of my head.

Quite remarkable that in the 8 seasons since 2016, we've only been able to attend a single round 1 opening game as the home side (vs Swans in 2019 with the Marvel guernsey), including none in the last 5 seasons.

Try living in QLD, no games here since 2020 pretty much.

10 different players holy shit, that’s more than half the starting 18

 

[BrisDog]

Any decent places near the G to get a beer before the game? I don’t fancy paying $6 million a pint at the G.

The Royal, Punt Road. Good value there.

 

[darklake]

Pumped for all the new dogs. Exciting times.

Cannot wait to watch Sandy the smiling assassin.

Man I’m excited to see Sanders play today. Feels like a Rolls Royce.

AFL tries to break attendance records and use the season opener to a high bar where with some staying power mean higher engagement for the rest of the season. Less than 30,000 people watching us squeeze a team at Docklands like 2016 just doesn't cut it for them. They can hide that game away at 4.40pm on a random weekend in May and you'd probably only lose a few thousand fans. On the other hand, 10-15,000 people more were at the Hawks vs Essendon, even though both teams probably won't make finals, because it's R1.

Just another way we get screwed by the AFL for being a "small club", obviously.

Similar to Smith, but more composed and much better by hand. Not sure about his kicking yet.

Would have been very interested to see how Smith went with this year, assuming we stick to a faster, more dynamic playstyle. Would suit him I think.

Is it official that O'donnell has concussion from what I've read on bigfooty it's one opinion from a supporter who was at the match.
Was he taken off to be the sub.

Baker was taken off to be the emergency. The sub comes from the named bench this year.

The position of Rolls Royce has already been filled. Limited edition Maserati?

 

[Bont15]

Sorry new to this where will Bramble and Coffield fit?

Except I'm pretty sure Tsatas was named on field on Thursday then was named sub prior to game. So doesn't have to come from the bench as such.

 

[Doggies7]

Caleb as sub Really dislike that decision

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Sorry new to this where will Bramble and Coffield fit?

Defense.

Coffield is a mid sized intercepting type. Bramble will probably play a Duryea type back pocket role.

We don’t deserve a better timeslot with the piss boring footy we play
