#AFL Round 10 Weekly Discussion Thread

[AB Swannie]

Has any premier ever had an easier opening draw than Richmond?

In their first 10 games they have played 8 in Melbourne with 7 of those at their home ground of the MCG. Only 2 if those games involved finalists from last year (and they?ve lost both).

Any chance we could poach Melbourne?s kicking coach?

Ah, jinxed them, just kicked a point, now 17.5.

Wow Melbourne won by 91 points. I didn't see the game so were Melbourne that good or were Adelaide really bad?

Also good to see the Hawks lose again.

Crows very lethargic but I think they were so stunned early by the Demons charge (7 goals in first quarter) that they never recovered. Melbourne look very good - and goal kicking accuracy out of this world (final score 23.8 to 8.7).

Melbourne was very good. Adelaide was soft.

The Dees do seem to be clicking, they took a decent scalp today and look to have potent scoring power. They stand in good stead to finally make the finals.....but if recent history has told us anything, it's when they start believing, it all goes to @@@@. This year may well be different. We play them in a round far far away........round 21. It will be interesting to see where both teams stand at that point.......

Victorians are complaining about gws and sun's stealing all the talent but at the same time to dud teams like Melbourne and North are going well. Does not compute

Melbourne are very good, and coming hard.

They have a half dozen top 10 draft picks rotating through the midfield, plus Nathan Jones. They have Gawn supplying them. They have a no1 draft pick in Hogan now playing superb footy. They have the McDonalds and Lever for their spine.

Throw in a terrific small forward in Garlett (who didn?t play yesterday), a good small defender in Jetta, and the experience of Hibberd and Lewis and Vince.

That is the makings of a bloody good footy team.

As much as they blew their final round game last year, I reckon they also had some excuses on the year overall (Hogan?s absence for a long period for example).

To see them where they are should be no surprise.

I hate both.

They are Collingwood, and there is Eddie - one of the worst people to ever exist.

But I can?t look at the Dogs without thinking of the 22 players and three cheats in yellow stealing a flag. I hope every single one of them gets badly injured, loses all their money after developing a gambling habit, gets ditched by their wives and ends up living under a bridge eating cat food.

A Pies win - though in a close game that gives Eddie a coronary would be ideal.

I used to like the Bulldogs - that is, until the 2016 GF. Now, I hope they lose every game. They played well in Q1 on Friday night but something inside me thought 'no they will not be able to keep it up for 4 quarters and Collingwood will win'. The Bulldogs are cellar dwellers this year, last year they didn't make finals. It just shows that 2016 was an aberration. But why did we have to be wrong end of this - why wasn't it Hawthorn. Hang on a minute - Hawthorn did get shafted in the 2016 semi vs the Bulldogs.

What happened to Bogan Bevo's prediction of a Bulldogs 'Dynasty' after the 2016 gf?

Just proves the level of delusion that gripped that club after their GF 'win'........so annoying!

Any small amount of like I had for the dogs ended with the Libba/Kelly scratchings and the 'dirty dogs' era that they went through.
