Two matches at Docklands on the same day is also questionable. Would've thought one could be on Sunday. There's only one game at the MCG as well. Very strange.

Averaging 2-3 10 goals losses each round already
Just wait until the middle of the year.
The game has never been in better shape though apparently.

The gormless buffoon Dillon will probably make a Front Bar appearance just to spout this very comment in the next couple of months.

The bye rounds absolutely suck and with Thursdays getting quality matches it leaves Saturday and Sunday struggling


Geelong v Adelaide - Cheat ground off a bye should see them get up by a few points
Collingwood v GWS - Both are average side but GWS destroyed by injury
St Kilda v Brisbane - They have to win eventually
Fremantle v Richmond - Flat Track Freo in full force
Essendon v North Melbourne - Jim is lying Dons will win
Port Adelaide v West Coast - WC will celebrate too hard so Port get up
Carlton v Melbourne - Zero confidence

Really they should have gone to a top 6 this year rather than a top 10
