Round 1: Brisbane v Swans @ the Gabba

[longmile]

Zorko is a loser

[dejavoodoo44]

Lions are getting a bit petulant now.

[stevoswan]

Daniher 1 goal, Hipwood 0 goals, Cameron 0 goals. Our defence has been epic!

[Wardy]

I’m liking umpire no 3 ! This is amazing.

[Markwebbos]

This is an annihilation!

[The Runner]

How much more at home is Parker up front

[i'm-uninformed2]

Fun story re Mills. Apparently the year before he was drafted Longmire was presenting to the Board. He told them if Mills was available then as a 17yo, he’d be easily in our best 22 and playing in the centre square.

What a beautiful night......just fantastic! We are in for a cracker of a season......the whole competition I mean. Big scores, comebacks, fast play.....buckle up.....footy is back!

[Blue Sun]

We were never going to win. Just need the young blokes to get accustomed to the big league.

I take it back. So happy that I was wrong. Impressive night!

[longmile]

When Naismith was up and about we looked like a different team. Same with Hickey. A good ruck makes a world of difference with our slower midfield

[longmile]

We are getting a lot of soft frees ... feels weird

[stevoswan]

I can't complain about the umpiring after us being well down earlier.....29 to 22 in our favour now......but as the ABC commentators have said, we are just getting to the ball first.

[Sandridge]

You beautiful, wonderful, magnificent Cygnets!

GO YOU MIGHTY BLOODS!!!

[longmile]

I do think Pyke may be an unsung hero tonight

[Markwebbos]

that could not have gone better, beyond my wildest dreams!
