No Oppo Supporters General AFL discussion and other club news

[Bedi]

Is it just me, or is there something slightly underwhelming about footy being back? Reckon we need to reintroduce a proper preseason comp to get us into the swing of things.

Keep an eye out for the “running backs” tonight

Where had this come from? Are the media using it now too?

I heard a podcast with Oleg Markov the other day and he wouldn’t stop saying it.

10 mins in, first match, BT calls “…Sparrow with the ball; he’s been in great form recently…”.

Me? turns volume off

Ansett Cup?

 

[RoughysMullet]

That wasn’t touched- the swines AFL lovechild fix is on

Dees forward line is the most malfunctioning in the league. Nothing has changed for the last couple of years.

They should be well in front.

Agree. Schache is a snowflake.

SCG is a shocking venue to watch from TV. Second worst only to the Gabba.

 

[H00t]

Agree. Schache is a snowflake.

Fritsch as well. He’s very talented but hates contact.

They drop marks well in the clear as they fear contact coming.

 

[H00t]

McLean, McDonald and Amartey copping an absolute bath here. One touch between them.

 

[smish]

Barely made it to six goals in a half for the first match of the season. Sucked in AFL.

 

[H00t]

Windsor the only dees player who takes a second to find a target when kicking in the forward half.

It’s only his first game though, they will train that out of him.

[Stranglers]

This is an absolutely abysmal spectacle for the opening game of the season. Really don't know what the AFL are thinking with this "opening round" business.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Nice boring start to the season AFL.

 

[marklar]

Having a beer watching the first game of the season, honestly feels like a waste of time and money if this is the best they can do.

 

[peetoo]

Nice boring start to the season AFL.

And Abbie barely sighted too

SCG is a shocking venue to watch from TV. Second worst only to the Gabba.

Gabba matches are interesting when the lights catch fire and bring the game into darkness at least.

 

[peetoo]

For all that palaver about more TV access to players…we get an advert for home and away?~

 

[TylerDurden]

Dees look rubbish. If Gawn doesn't dominate, they struggle.

 

[The hands of stone]

You know its a bad spectacle when it gets referred to as a ' great contest'

Paul Roos coaching both teams?

AFL marketing team - let’s have a new opening round spectacular. Make the season start memorable.

AFL schedulers - let’s make it at The SCG

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Windsor the only dees player who takes a second to find a target when kicking in the forward half.

It’s only his first game though, they will train that out of him.

He's looked good on debut. Put on a nice little move then followed by a nice kick.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Wasn't it an odd decision by Melbourne to draft Grundy?

They had the best ruckman of his generation and then decided to draft the second best ruckman of his generation who ends up playing in the VFL.

Any other team except for the Dees Grundy is number 1 ruck yet he ended up at the Dees. Very unusual list management.
