Round 1: the other games. Are we there yet? Yes; yes we are.

I'm glad they changed the rules to increase scoring. 10 goals to 7 on a perfect ground on a perfect night for footy. And the Bulldogs holding on to the ball for the last 10 minutes was extremely boring!

Bulldogs actually have a pretty good list this year.

It's quite obvious to me that the AFL should replace the rules committee with RWO. We'd sort the game out in no time!

The rules change because the rules committee needs a reason to exist. Like a lot of the AFL, it's an employment scheme for ex-footballers.

Crows doing well against the Cats at the moment. 4 minutes into the second quarter and they're up by 19, 34 to 15. Cats losing this game would be extremely embarrassing for them.....it's almost this lists last chance for a flag.

Few minutes later.....pantsing them now, 31 pts up!

Crows very spirited at the moment. Early days but now 25 up.

Yes, just noticed that score. I hope they keep it up.

[Thunder Shaker]

Yes, I'm a bit over the dynasty. A nice place for them to finish would be ninth.

Won't happen. It's an odd-numbered year. Richmond has never finished ninth in an odd-numbered year.

What an embarrassing loss this would be for Geelong if the Crows can go on with it.

2nd quarter just went for 39 minutes....and Taylor Walker just kicked his fourth goal after the siren. Crows up by 38 at half time!

Cats are coming off a bye...they always lose coming off a bye.

38 points down and there's a fair chance that Dangerfield will get a week or two, for knocking Kelly out with a late bump. It was a head clash, rather than a high shot, but still, it was unnecessary.

No Brownlow for Dangerfield this year.

38 points down and there's a fair chance that Dangerfield will get a week or two, for knocking Kelly out with a late bump. It was a head clash, rather than a high shot, but still, it was unnecessary.

Key line in Tribunal guidelines:
"... head clashes that result when a Player has elected to bump are circumstances that can reasonably be foreseen. Players will ordinarily be liable if they elect to bump if not contesting the ball."

Danger in MRO trouble
