Well, I surely must speak for everyone when I say how good it is to be heading into an AFL season without fear of being subjected to the puerile commentary stylings of Messers Walls and Lane. That said, there will be toolishness on offer and I thought we may be able to track some of it through this rolling thread.
* Maybe it was the presence of 'the Dwayne', dumbing things down in the box, but the team got off to a dubious start in the game on Friday night. No sooner had big boxes alerted viewers to the fact that Collingwood was paying $3.50 for the flag and Hawthorn $4.50 (Geelong has been $4 for sometime now); that team members began falling over themselves to breathlessly proclaim how Hawthorn were the premiership favourites!!!
Honourable mention must also be made of Dennis Cometti waiting all of 0000.231 seconds to hang Lance Franklin for what replays would subsequently show as being a fair tackle.
Anything else from Round 1?
