AFL Round 1 2025

[Crackity Jones]

Watched the replay today.

Campo had a good enough debut. McKay still has trouble with set shots. Sillvagni gives 100%. Cripps gets it a lot but did not think he was terribly effective.

Carlton keep playing McGovern and Williams. Yet Docherty was the sub?

I thought Campo was terrible, got the footy but just butchered it.

Had 20 touches and 50% efficiency which was higher than I thought

It was his first game.
A lot of his possessions were under real heat also.
He’s going to be a gun!

The next Toumpas

So welcomed to Port in 3 years then.

[locky801]

Welcome to the cattery Bailey Smith, 17 first half possessions

Meanwhile Freo absolute rubbish

[locky801]

Last 3 goals to Freo back to 43 point margin

[locky801]

Was 10 goals to Geelong at one stage,

Freo must have got a huge rocket at 1/2 time now trail by 22 points

[locky801]

Weird game of footy, Geelong dominated the 1st half had a huge lead, Freo came from the clouds and got the margin back to just over 3 goals and then not a whimper and got smashed in the last 1/4 and the Cats win by 78 points

[Dirty dog]

Geelong had 90k members last year but can’t get close to filling the stadium round 1 and first home game of the year. Am I missing something?
Did anyone else notice how many seats were empty?

they were playing Freo and the temps are in the mids 30's probably have something to do with it

You got some tarps we can use

[Dirty dog]

I wasn’t taking the Pi55. My point was the AFL and clubs pump up the membership numbers but they never match bums on seats.
Port got 60+ but we only get 35k per game.

Not sure how it works but alot would be corporate, say a large company buys a membership for so many people, how many turn up who knows

Often see friends in businesses on match day offering their match day tickets to friends as they are not going

but your point is very valid

[locky801]

Late goal to the Swans sees them lead by 13 points at the main break

[locky801]

Lions up by 16 points

Lachie Neale having a shocker with only 6 possessions as we approach lemon time

[Corona Man]

Assuming Boon is 5 tins deep in preparation by now!?!?

[Brodlach]

Bloody good win by the Lions with the number of players they lost during the game

[locky801]

Yep and the more top end players, the younger brothers of Ashcroft and Warner certainly outshone their brothers today, couple of players to keep an eye on

[locky801]

North to upset the Dogs and Port by 5 goals

The clubs should report how many paid, 11-game ticketed memberships they sell.

[DOC]

I think Port get this. Pendlebury as the sub is a terrible choice and I think it will cost them.

[locky801]

Good to see Ken and Craig on the boundary before the game sharing a laugh and a joke
