If Brisbane had kicked goals instead of HALF of their behinds, they'd have won.
A bit too much more pressure than the youngsters are used to.
He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
Fairly ordinary first week of finals I thought. Tigers look ominous.
So good to see the Dogs get smashed though. So good.
Brisbane are perhaps a year too young. Richmond are going to be very hard to beat. They are a premiership team with the addition of a gun full forward (lucky not to have a trading ban on that one).
They do have the hard side of the draw though.
Brisbane, GWS, and degoey-less pies is an easier road to a granny than tigers, eagles and kitty cats.
One for thing about the results of the first week is that all final venues are now earnt on merit.
good to see umps continue love for bulldogs again pity it didn't help like 2016
Mummy is made for finals, but has he taken a mark at all this year?.
I'm a Swans fan, and I'll readily admit I get behind the Giants when they're not playing the Swans. I grew up playing footy in Sydney in a time when there wasn't anywhere near the interest there is now (and think about how little coverage there is at times now!), I think it's great having a second team in Sydney and I want them to succeed.
I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
Each to their own. No problem with that. I understand the argument about encouraging greater interest in the game in Sydney. What I object to is the assumption, indeed the expectation, that we as Swans supporters will automatically favour GWS over other teams because they are from NSW.
My issues with GWS are: that they are a manufactured team which has not grown out of any groundswell of local support (as the Bulldogs' banner put it, "Our club grew from blood and boots, not AFL focus groups"); that they were given absurd advantages with the explicit intention of making them successful quickly rather than having to earn success; that they play like thugs; that they make it harder for the Swans in Sydney; that their chairman is a plutocrat; and that Toby Greene plays for them.
Otherwise I wish them well.
