Preview Round 1 vs the Eagles 22nd March 4:40 AEDST

[SkillsMachine]

Well, with training being locked out, there isn't too many way to prove or disprove whether there was more to it or not. Tho from the training gallery from March 14, he's in full stride going to take a mark, with no strapping on his knee. So that, along with him being named in the team, would suggest it's bs.

Yeah all good then I reckon brother. Up the dees! Gawn to piggy clinic!

 

[Headless]

I'm sort of excited that we're playing tomorrow all of a sudden.

Some truly frustrating losses in there, 2016 comes to mind, but those two wins were fantastic, the TMAC goal to win in 2017, and of course that win to secure a finals place in 2018.

Hoping we can give WC another crack tomorrow.

RE 2016 I think we just lead most of the day, lost the game late by a goal.

I remember glen luff said based on stats if you player that game 100 times win 96 times

I genuinely reckon we ‘outplayed’ them in four of these games. Of course the one where they outplayed us was so traumatic it outweighs not only those four games but every other good performance we’ve put in since 2006.

Need to win tomorrow. Close enough won’t be good enough this time.

 

[Proper Gander]

I'm sort of excited that we're playing tomorrow all of a sudden.

It will be massive Headless. I feel something huge approaching, like Melksham kicks 8 before falling to the ground writhing and frothing from acute coronavirus causing panic across Western Australia and shutting down the AFL permanently.

Don’t be sad Gysberts2Bate it was a dream

Hey American AFL, it looks like the US Fox Sports 1 has picked up a few extra games due your major sports all being suspended. Good times.

Yup, legit if the AFL can manage to play for a month or so they might finally crack the American market because they legit have centre stage with absoloutely no competition.

US should throw a shitload of money at AFL to have them play a game that starts at 7:30pm each Friday and Saturday night on the East Coast.

Honestly In this current climate it might happen, the reason AFL games start in the afternoon is so that all the country and city competitions have clear air in the morning but with all of them suspended yeah would be a great marketing opportunity.

If the AFL can market this right and get a month of completion they might be able to get a million Americans watching casually

I haven’t actually watched it yet. I muted all my AFL related twitter follows so that I wouldn’t have results ruined.

If it doesn’t get explored Fox is missing a real opportunity.

Haha. I have my old man DVRing the Hawks/Lions game. Hopefully the game isn’t shitty. Really a shame Fox isn’t showing the Demons.

Dude get him to download the watch AFL app. Multiple people can use it at the sametime

He wouldn’t watch on a device. Hopefully he has some interest in this hawthorn/Brisbane game. I’ll get him set up with a Chromecast and WatchAFL if he likes it.

A shame because if not for this corona bullshit I would just go over in the morning and watch the Demons game with him, but he’s getting up there in age and I’m working with infected people a bunch of the day. Would hate to infect him over footy lmao

Have to admit Pat is doing a much better job of selling the sport than I have the last year
