As long as both sides have a few set backs after the game, I'll be happy. Keen to see how Grundy goes now he has the No1 ruck mantle back.

Grundy. Great tap to Viney.

Grundy. Great tap to Viney.

… which he couldn’t do last year.

How was that not push in the back against Gawn lol

 

[eyeroller]

we might be hearing about expected scores again tonight...

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

Melbourne clearly are morally in front due to expected score.

Melbournes forward line picking up where they left off I see. 1.6 is a good platform to build on

They remind me of us under Bucks.
Awesome defense. But every goal feels like so much effort.

 

[GreekLunatic]

What a snorefest

 

[danielnajdek]

Melbournes forward line still blows. Good to see.

 

[nahnah]

They're reminding me of their 2018 team a bit, slow on the outside and everyone getting sucked in to the ball drop. Their 2021 was so dominant it must feel like how we felt in the immediate years after 2011

I can’t recall the last game at the SCG that wasn’t scrappy.
Never free flowing, always congested.

What a snorefest

It sure is.Every time I switch over to it,literally nothing has happened.Terrible game to start the season with.

Boring crap footy

Should have started with Pies vs Giants.

The ball is not slippery because of dew or atmospheric conditions.

It’s these bloody Bondi influencers and their coconut oil diets sweating out slippery greasy byproducts.

Ya reckon anyone could take a mark in these conditions without kale and açaí gloves to balance it all up?

What a fizzer of an opener. Remember Pies v Cats last year? That was a proper opener.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Lock Melbourne in for the Expected Score Premiership already. Seen enough.

 

[The Magnificent Seven]

BTW I thought Hamish was heading to France this year?!? What’s he doing calling this match?

 

[frizzle]

When even Trac can’t pick up a ground ball you know conditions are pretty slippery. Painful to watch so far.
Was looking forward to footy being back tonight, but I’m off to bed at half time. Horrible spectacle.

Might not be worth even tuning in to the Mini version some time tomorrow, if it carries on like this. It’s a tough call whether this or Richmond v Carlton is a worse start to a season.

 

[domus]

The "Sydney opening game of the season" experiment is OVER! What a shocking advertisement for our game. Is the ball covered in invisible slime?

And neither team is willing to back themselves in and go long to a contest.

I thought he was gone for the whole season too.

 

[jmac70]

Time for the xbox
