    As for the ex Swans - Toby Pink keeps at it, but is having the moments you’d expect from a first game player in defence in a weak side. I think I saw Dylan Stephens run through the screen at some point but otherwise, the poor man’s woes continue.
    Dylan needs to find a non contact sport to play. I'm guessing Clarkson won't put up with him for long.

      Watched the Cats/Saints game. I know it was the first round but it was pretty pedestrian.

        I didn't notice Stephens there. I did see Clarko and he wasn't moving well. Perhaps he is coaching injured, all those foot
        in mouth injuries have finally caught up with him.

          I also watched most of the game and I thought the standard was very average as it was played in perfect conditions. I automatically thought how could either of these sides match the Swans?? But it was the first round.

            Nice to see Melbourne gave the Dogs a nice old towelling.

                Strangely, I was just thinking of doing that. Are they continuing on the general theme of late last season and calling for Beveridge to be sacked? Personally, I suspect he'll be the first to go.

                    I actually find these moves quite reminiscent of the Daicos brothers, when they were being tackled on Friday night.

                      It's a shame that the Demons couldn't manage one more point against the Dogs, or the Eagles lose by one point fewer. If that had happened, then the Pup Throwers would be on the bottom after round 1.

                        Much as I love the grand old lady, anz stadium, the precinct around could do a lot better for big events. Giants v north at late afternoon. Then pink in the evening. Parking sold out by pink supporters. Event buses only running for pink timeframe, kind of kills it for AFL fans.
                        Even some basic stuff like a few event buses at 3pm, or safe storage sheds for pushbikes. Or heaven forbid, a train station that's used by more than one line.

                          Starting to look like last year's grand finalists will be collectively 0-4 at the end of the round. Possibly not a huge concern for them at this stage, but it should ensure that their match in two weeks time will be something of a cage fight.

                            There was plenty of parking in P3 Barry. It wasn't sold out. It was a 4:35 game, the Pink concert was on at night.
                            Don't the special buses they have at the SCG only go to Central. There is a train station at Olympic Park. Who goes to
                            the footy on a pushbike? Not really sure GWS v North is what is considered a major event like 60,000 people watching
                            another grand old lady, Pink. I think you need to embrace the new name Accor too. Mega French hotel chain conglomerates
                            have done so much for sport, we should all get behind them.

                              In this weeks Footy Record, 10 of the 12 "experts" tipped the Lions to win the flag (we got one vote and so did the Magpies).
                              We got one vote as the likely runner up, and GWS and Carlton got 4 runner-up votes each.

                                The lowest position I've seen tipped for us was by journalist, Jonathan Horn, who reckoned we'd finish 13th. I think he's also a Collingwood supporter, so I suspect a few people might be reminding him of that prediction, in the comments section of his regular Monday column.
