GWS just missed out again on their first win. In front with just over 3 minutes to go and a Pie first-gamer pulls a flukey kick from the boundary that went through for the winning goal.

Collingwood also won the middle game against the Dogs (shocking standard game apparently) but lost MacCaffer who did his knee.

C'wood were awaful & the Dogs woeful

Not a great advertisement for AFL footy in market the AFL are trying to win over

I guess the Pies and Dogs being so woeful at least meant the new home team was more than competitive. GWS will struggle to win a game but I think on their day when all their senior players and kids are on they'll have a defence and midfield plus the enthusiasm as a new side that will beat another struggling bottom side to score their first win say by the middle of the year. The top sides though will beat GWS by 100 points like the Suns found out last year.

We play them smack bang in the middle of the season... at their homeground too

Just sayin...

[WilliamPowell]

GWS have some bloody good kids though

So of their "gun" signings were ordinary in the first game

Where was $cully? Hurr hurr hurr.


And how about those Bummers  essenscum.

[WilliamPowell]

Where was $cully? Hurr hurr hurr.

He was brilliantly woeful -

Yet the press conveniently omit that http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/afl/rugby-league-convert-israel-folau-looks-out-of-his-league-in-afl-debut/story-e6freck3-1226275014323

Been listening to SEN, sounds like it will be a tough match up in perth against Freo.

Bummers have struggled in both matches.

The wings on the hird plane starting to crack?! 

[Hellenic Tiger]

Got to love the way the Bombers went about their business tonight.
Two games two massive losses and a thorough exposure of their inadequacies.
I know its only Round 1 NAB but that good will, cheer and optimism that came in when Jimmy came to the helm and swept them to a NAB final loss to Collingwood a 139 point win against Gold Coast and then a 16 point loss to Richmond in the Dreamtime game is evaporating quickly.

It will be great when the natives find that the Golden Boy will not be answer and start to turn on him.
It will be so sweet and oh so Richmond like.

[Mr Magic]

Have picked them to finish bottom 5. The crash is coming..

[dwaino]

Monfies... 6 inside 50s.. something like 4 out of bounds. 

Looking forward to trolling Slattery_20 on BigFooty all year. Top 6... 

[mightytiges]

Same old same olds at Windy Hill  . No depth in the midfield either .

took the train in to SubiPaterson oval yesterday to get my 1st fix of footy for 2012

I know its only preseason practice but a few of observations

 the red and black are lacking leadership and a spark, tried lots of different things but none looked sucessfull, sure they played a lot of young boys but if thats their future then the only way is down

the Eagles look to have improved (again) on last year, their forward press was outstanding and they always back each other up and protect the ball carrier. Weedon has a good set of mitts Cox was brilliant Hurn shone as well
I hate to say it but they look to be top 4 again

the Freo saints showed plenty of Ross Lyons influence, too bloody defensive !!!  kick ins always to the pack (and turned over under tight defensive pressure) no one was prepared to leave their man and be a lead up target for the kick in, Lachie Neale showed potential. but apart from Pav, the rest, inc big Sandi were very average

looking forward to Sunday fortnight, reckon on what I've seen this weekend  we are a big chance to get our 2nd win
