Carn the roos!

So we don't have a women's team? Ah well that's a shame.

As a Swans fan, feels bad man. I'm scared of making the grand final D:

They do sports insurance and a few other things in Australia.

I don't think I've ever been less excited for a season. My passion for the league has really waned the last few years.

My sources say they're campaigning very heavily for one

Jables Swan · Mar 3, 2017

Another long year ahead for the Pies. Looking for De Goey to take the step up this year.

fisheyes · Mar 4, 2017

This is it. I can feel it. This is the year [my team] win the premiership. [Player] has been training the house down and, dare I say it, is a Smokey for the Brownlow. Get around [my team].

AxeMan · Mar 4, 2017

I didn't know what to do with myself last GF day. Was strange not being at the game. Should be there this year though (GWS member as well)

Cherry picker.

Zushin · Mar 4, 2017

After the news about Lids out of Round 1 for GWS, Tigers definitely got a good deal. Not really bad for the Giants though, they've got so many good players that Deledio was a cherry on top.

Daniel Wells though....

Was coming back to edit my post with a "/stealthbrag"

I'm a foundation GWS member cause I wanted them to play games in Canberra, just stuck with it. Looks like it'll start to pay off shortly

boredandlazy · Mar 4, 2017

Have no clue how West Coast are going to do this year. Add Sam Mitchell but take away Nic Nat... Should be a fun ride.

You should go ok. We've done ok without a good ruckman, Mitchell was one of the reasons why

Jezabel · Mar 4, 2017

Can't wait to see how my bombers stack up this year. I'm thinking round 9-11ish

aussiedude08 · Mar 4, 2017

Buddy was lucky lastnight. If Mummy didnt bump him i would expect that the bump on the Giants player would been looked at for a suspension.

Newk86 · Mar 9, 2017

Forgive the question as I am still relatively new, but what exactly is the difference between the off-topic and off-topic community sections?

Just asking because last year the F1 2016 season thread was in the community section (pretty sure), but now the F1 2017 pre-season thread can be found in off-topic only. Even right now I can see several other sports threads on the first page of the community section, but then the AFL 2017 thread is over here in off-topic. I really just don't know where I'm supposed to be looking!

Thanks. And go Eagles.

Marky Mark · Mar 9, 2017

The difference is OT is where ptmyl belongs.

jambo · Mar 9, 2017

From memory the AFL threads used to start in OT and then get moved to Community, but I think the mods just didn't bother after a few years.

Also, how are there so many Eagles supporters on GAF?!

aussiedude08 · Mar 10, 2017

Anyone else see the Matthew Boyd injury lastnight.

That was fucked up. just part of his ear hanging off. when they showed it post game.

HolyCheck · Mar 23, 2017

So until 5 minutes ago i hadnt even thought about footy this year yet. Now im giddy with excitement.

Opening game. Home. Mcg agaimst the hawks. Its gonna be a cracking crowd. Taking my lady to her first footy game too. So im glad its not against freo or something.

Zushin · Mar 23, 2017

If we don't win by 6 goals tonight I'll be disappointed.

Thank God the season is starting. So boring without my footy

Chuck · Mar 23, 2017

So I watched the afl website video explaining the rules so I think I get a little bit of what's going on, but man that's just scratching the surface.

Carn Hawks

legend166 · Mar 23, 2017

Another riveting opening game of the season.

Sigismundo · Mar 23, 2017

I don't remember the last time there was a close game between Richmond and Carlton. Someone's usually been a punching bag and it's usually Richmond.

Marky Mark · Mar 23, 2017

My wife is sat here playing this mess that is Mass Effect so I'm going to have to watch on my phone or maybe it works on the PC?

Nope, can't. Have to rest my s7 in front of my laptop so i can watch. boo

Well that was shit.

Carlton should run last pretty comfortably.

Sad, but true.

It's cringe-inducing to watch, but as a supporter, I'll pay attention to see how Weitering, Petrovski-Seton and all the other kids develop.

Zushin · Mar 24, 2017

Haha that Magpie reaction to Cloke. Glad he kicked it.

Marky Mark · Mar 24, 2017

Fantastic game so far except for the first 10 minutes or so. And yeah, I'm so happy Cloke kicked it. I actually said to my wife "I feel sorry for him because I know he's going to miss it" and I was expecting the Collingwood ferals to go mental but then he kicked it!

Newk86 · Mar 25, 2017

Here come the upsets!

bomma_man · Mar 25, 2017

My tipping 😩

Marky Mark · Mar 26, 2017

I was expecting Port to put up a fight but honestly thought Sydney would run over us in the end. I was extremely nervous at about six minutes to go. Great game.

Zushin · Mar 26, 2017

Glad to see the Bombers get a win. My tipping is fucked this round though haha.

Marky Mark · Mar 26, 2017

My theory is first round you tip all of the upsets and hope at least half of them come through. Half of the time it works all of the time and you end up half a round in front straight away, then you can just pick the favourites or pick the same as everyone else in your comp to maintain the lead.

Yeah haha. I should get 5/9 this round (thank you Adelaide!). So while not good, it's probably not worse than my competition!

Chuck · Mar 30, 2017

Round 2 Teams

Rezbit · Mar 31, 2017

I see by "cracking down on throwing and ducking" the AFL meant "not bothering to crack down at all." Bulldogs currently sitting at 23 free kicks to 3QT (nearly double the Swans). I see the long tradition of giving the premiership winning teams all the frees still stands. Great stuff AFL. The officiating standard is nearly as embarrassing as soccer TBH.

Chuck · Mar 31, 2017

Hell of a game tonight, go doggies

Zushin · Mar 31, 2017

Thought the umpiring was pretty poor tonight after an excellent round 1. Definitely glad Doggies won but thought Swans were pretty stiff not to get a good 4-5 frees during the game. Still, good match and highlights how poor the Pies and Tigers really are (Richmond supporter obviously)

Rezbit · Mar 31, 2017

Chuck said:

Really? You thought that was a good game? Is it just because it was kinda close-ish? I thought it was complete tripe replete with incredibly poor umpiring.

I've watched 3 games of AFL so far this season and all were complete horse shit. Thumbs down from me.
