Thanks to fisheyes, Grug and Ydahs, I used a few bits from the previous threads for this one (up to and including this very line)

I look forward to a devastating finals defeat for the 6th year in a row.

Also there's a chance Dean Towers will be playing a significant amount of time in the ruck, so that's fun.

 

[jgminto]

Brisbane Lions winning both the Women's & Men's premierships will make up for the last 15 years.

 

[jambo]

I copied the supporters list from last years thread, so any new people can just say which team they follow (or I'll deduce) and I'll add you.

 

[Chuck]

It's the year of the Navy Blues, fam

 

[TheForgotten]

Another Collingwood fan. as long as we beat Carlton and finish above them, i dont care how shit we do

 

[Stove]

That was a long 6 months.

Bulldogs please!

 

[bobnowhere]

Maybe this year we'll find a Suns fan. There has to one somewhere.

 

[Stove]

My always wrong picks.

Richmond vs Carlton

Essendon vs Adelaide

St Kilda vs Brisbane
Port vs Freo
Gold Coast vs North
Hawthorn vs Pies

GWS vs Doggies
Melbourne vs Geelong (Match of the round)
West Coast vs Sydney

 

[TheForgotten]

Match of the round is clearly Suns vs North. who doesnt want a round 1 battle for the wooden spoon?

Round 1 Teams

 

[jxmmy]

Is the app still only streaming sd quality?

 

[TheForgotten]

Tigers not playing with the hunger from last season so far.

Ch7's new score bug is fucking shit. its too distracting. it just pops too much.

 

[bomma man]

God damn free to air HD sucks

 

[Stove]

What a match.

 

[TheForgotten]

Kruzer hurt. that comes as a shock to nobody.

 

[newmoneytrash]

Richmond following in the Bulldogs footsteps

Can't wait for the third straight fairytale premiership

 

[Chuck]

Rotten officiating tonight. Expect it sets the tone for the whole season.

At least you guys get HD. All the footy in Sydney is on 7mate in glorious standard definition.

It was ok in Canberra as Mate was the HD channel but Prime finally moved the HD to the main channel when the Winter Olympics started.

 

[TheForgotten]

It looked fairly good on Fox lastnight.

the game director was shit, i dont understand why he needed to cut to the Carlton coaches box 100 times.

I think Melbourne loses AFL on 7HD for the comm games.
I only watch FTA one time a year for the Grand Final. and 7HD is a joke

 

[TheForgotten]

Daniher taking up the void left by Cloke's retirement with his kicking.

 

[Chuck]

This game is hilarious. They're playing in like 4cm of water.

Will Brad Scott have a cry post game if they lose, because they should of played somewhere that has a roof?

 

[Stove]

Expected we would get beat up, but that was still such a let down.

 

[TheForgotten]

New stadium in Perth looked good lastnight, i only caught the last Q but looked like a good game. Eagles put up much more of a fight than i expected.

I hadn't noticed it during the cricket games, but the seating level is above the fence. There's a second level of see-thru fencing on top of the TV screen fencing. Looked a bit strange, a bit like a European stadium with massive fences to prevent pitch invasions.

Round 2 Teams

 

[TheForgotten]

Can the AFL Take North off good friday games before it becomes a tradition.

If they want to give it to teams who struggle with money it should at least be teams people want to watch. Melbourne vs St Kilda would of been better.

 

[TheForgotten]

Tom Lynch just wants to play for someone who gets Carlton twice a season, thats an easy 15 goals for him every season.

 

[TheForgotten]

The AFL also need to stop opening the fucking roof for afternoon and twilight games because of the sun. Players, Fans and TV broadcasters/audiences hate it.

 

[TheForgotten]

Fuck me. i saw Broomhead's leg as soon as it happened before the replays.

Poor kid breaking your leg like that. Glad Fox Footy didnt show too many replays.

 

[bomma man]

My tipping is fucked

 

[Stove]

At least we had 2016. :(

 

[jambo]

Pretty happy with the Port win, such a strong second half.

My tips have been ok this weekend, 4 so far, hopefully 5 later today.

 

[bomma man]

Hell of a game. If you could only watch one fixture a year, it'd be this one.

Round 3 Teams

 

[jgminto]

Lions performed really well today. If they can work out their third quarter consistency problems they'll be a great team.

I didnt see much of the game, been watching the Melbourne/North game. but watched the final few mins.

some small chances to get a mark inside 50 and get the win. Bad luck to the Lions what i saw they played hard.

Dees finally broke the drought against North.

 

[tri_willy]

colour me surprised! thanks for creating the thread jambo! gee your mob survived well today!

hoping we should beat the saints after their shit performance but you never know...

 

[bomma man]

Looks like we played our grand final in round one...

 

[tri_willy]

^ Can't be any worse than the sainters atm... no offence to any saint supporters here

 

[TheForgotten]

3 games is a bit soft for some cunt who tried to bite someone.

I would of gone 4. my first kneejerk reason was much much longer.
