 star OP. Always fun to read the team summaries! Hoping for good surprises this year in the comp or at least as exciting a finals season as we had last year.

Sounds almost like a community game at Princes Park  Grandstand saying the upcoming players will be even better than the first gen.

Nutsngum posted:Only saw 15 minutes of the match due to being at work. One thing is the rather large gap in skill and fitness between some of the players. The good ones were really obviously standouts from the rest and give it another 3 years will out number the inexperienced players. Oh yeah, they had to share around the marquee players around the clubs this year, so you've probably got 3 levels of skill in each team, maybe a third are senior players from clubs. The great thing is you're right, there are superior younger players now who will be ready for competition in 3 years. I was very happy with the tackling in last nights game, hope there's a good tussle today.

Troy Queef posted:so now that i've come into a bit of cash i'm actually thinking of buying a proper AFL Membership (it doesn't hurt that they come with the international streaming) and like a true Yank plastic i'm trying to size up who'd i'd actually buy it from, right down to seeing who'll give me the most/best poo poo for my dollar. right now i'm down to: Carlton used to be the old Hawthorn in terms of strength and wins. They don't deal with this very well. For a while they were actually trying to game the system for good picks, but even when that worked, they didn't have the right management to take advantage of it and as a result bled valuable players to other teams. Things are improving but slowly. Yeah, avoid Essendon and Richmond, crazy cultures for different reasons. Essendon will take a lot of rebuilding, and Richmond have been consistently failing to rebuild since the loving 1970's. There's something wrong with Freo. They should be a good team, but their culture and gameplan seem incapable of living up to reality. St Kilda, my team, have similar cultural problems to Richmond but the fans aren't as crazy. I like to say we're the best AFL training team in the league because we regularly sell our best off to other teams (the smart ones run away as soon as they realize their abilities).

In the games I was able to see some vision of, the leading team was better at all-round ball handling skills, particularly chasing the ball down and managing it under attack. But this is to be expected in a beginner's league, it'll improve.

drunkill posted:I didn't catch the game tonight but it sounds like it was good. Great to see that Perkins got a goal too. Definitely have to reassess, that Crows forward line have strength and speed. They really punished the Dogs. A bit of biff in the game too. Also, wtf is up with the tipping, it still thinks the game is ongoing.

Speaking of Etihad, the Weagles are favoured in the betting over the Roos. I think it's a wee bit more line ball than that myself. Grandstand likes the Saints for the eight this year, I bloody hope so.

But it was Daniher and Hooker who led the charge, so the new players are taking on the burden, which is the really good sign. 128 uncontested marks.

snoremac posted:Can someone who watched the game explain the Ess vs. Haw result to me??? I get that all the drug dudes returned but still... They do, the on-field intelligence is gone. They have new players who haven't learnt to think on their feet with each other which will take time. But it's also the first game of the season, the smart guys are saying it's not going to be predictable.

Also, because I hate life, I read catallaxyfiles.com for bad opinions, and I had no idea the AFLW is just a predatory lesbian trap for young women  Apparently all women's sport is just about that.

NPR Journalizard posted:I hope you replied that you agree, and we should shut down all male sports for being a predatory trap for young men. Nah, I read it for information's sake, just that this particular angle was completely new to me; it was claimed that Dermott Brereton raised it on SEN with AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan. Surely the boys can't be that threatened?

Suns just kicked 5 straight but got nobbled by the Giant's 11th. Premiership quarter time!NPR Journalizard posted:I think you are underestimating just how fragile some male egos are. It's a mindset that's beyond me; Reddit is laughable but this is just pathetic. There's a subtext of male homophobia behind it as well, it's a remarkable form of projection.

Most of the play, particularly in the 2nd half was one-way traffic, Giants kicked 13 of the last 14 goals, Suns forwards couldn't kick straight even when the midfield could get the ball to them.
