There is no way Simpson survives the year.

Eagles would be down 100 already if this were at GWS


Reid ? Looking despondent ? Someone will eventually throw big money at him. In order;
. Geelong
. Collingwood
. Richmond
. *
. Carlton
. Hawthorn
. Melbourne
. St.Kilda
. Bulldogs
. North
 
Following this week, the 3 teams that GWS have played will have a combined record of 0-7.

Port's teams are 0-5.

Round Zero has somehow accentuated how uneven the fixture is at speciic times of the season.
 
I’m convinced they are calling for a review with easy ones to shore up the average and accuracy data. Someone is making sure of meeting a KPI.

I can guarantee you that's not the case. The goal umpires are just gun shy over what happened in Adelaide last year. I know the goal umpire who did the Rich/PA game today. He was renowned for backing himself and getting it right and was rewarded with the 2022 Grand Final. But today even he reviewed two that he probably was 95% sure about just to eliminate the 5% chance of being wrong.

Please don’t ruin this for me.
 
Eagles looked pretty good at times if you didn't look at the scoreboard, some pressure was keeping GWS on their toes and made them quite fumbly. Giants just absolutely eviscerate teams on the rebound, as we discovered first-hand.
 
Problem is, who were their best players? All older blokes

Absolutely. While Reid looked good, I saw some Eagles supporters online only just now lamenting taking a single first round pick to the draft. I've gotta say, it's one problem that I'm glad we don't have this year.
 
Score review taking away the elation after every great goal has become a blight on watching the game. It needs to go.
The goal umps are shit scared of field umpires overturning their decisions, like when they signal OOB when the footy hits the point post on the full...

How can the AFL say this is a fair competition when all you have to look at is who gws have played in the last fortnight. It's ridiculous imo.
Or the team that finished second last playing three of the four preliminary finalists in the first four rounds. Afl is wwe.
