Nothing unusual methinks. I used to be coached by Fosdike and Saddington.

130 pts in round 1, followed by 86 pts in round 2 to a side that lost by 63 pts the week before. Could be a challenging year. Their draw is a bit rough too. Playing UNSW in round 17 at Henson and NS at Gore Hill in round 18. That might be a rough couple of weeks. Get the feeling they’re prepared to do the hard yards though. Hope they don’t fall into the trap of trying to buy their way through it

Looks like an even more challenging year for the Dragons😮

We used to be able to see what games were on by VENUE...is there a way to do that now...?

Don't think you can on PlayHQ. Used to be able to on the SportsTG/SportingPulse that we used to use until a couple of years ago.

TwinCity - did you go to the Rep fixture in Canberra ? Good game ? Who won ? Better players ?

[Norris Lurker]

AFL Sydney won the Womens by 13 points, but AFL Canberra took out the Mens by 33.
I was at the Giants v Western Bulldogs debacle and haven't had a chance to watch either game back on the Streamer yet. But good for our top players to have another crack at rep footy, it's been a few years.

Yes I did. A most enjoyable day of footy despite the very cold conditions in Canberra. Sydney AFL played solid in both matches the womens team should have won by more as they had control of the fixture for the majority of the contest. Hurrell from Norths was best on ground and deserved it. The Sydney AFL men started slow but played solid away from home. Canberra a little too fast and finished all over Sydney in the final quarter. The lad from SWS was best on and looks a player. Nice to see some of the old firm in Dimery, Zoppo and Wray in the team. Glad to see rep footy back.

What's going on with UNSW? Anyone pick them being 1-7?

[Norris Lurker]

Not me. They've lost some quality players, but I thought they still had enough premiership players to do better than that.

One of the most dominant games I've seen in our comp for a while - Barry O'Connor playing against Penno at Weldon over the weekend. He plays a sort of Patrick Cripps tall-midfielder role and does it very well - reads the play like few others. I wonder whether Manly would have won without him.
!0/10 Barry O'Connor.
I'm told that that was his last game in our comp - it will be interesting to see how the Wolves will go without him if he's now done.

And it will be interesting as well to see who will be able to take it to North Shore - I saw them last weekend and they are very, very good.

O’Connor played against us a couple of weeks ago and was really good. It’d be fantastic to have more players like him in our comp.

Well done to Manly, for their improvement again this year. Took us about 5 years to achieve what they’ve done in two.

Great intro by SWS too.
