The best part is that they actually aren't some irrelevant cellar dweller club off the field. They had an average turnout of nearly 37k back in 2010, and all they had to do to encourage that response was win 8 games. They are a well supported well loved club with deep community roots, not the bad news bears at Carrara circa 1992. The sorrow is deep and widespread.

Who is Titus O'Reily? I started seeing his stuff pop up over the last 12-24 months but I have no idea who he is or what his job actually is besides being a consistently amusing observer of football.

I'm trying to find a youtube of Mumford conducting a crash test on Duncan, but I cannot find one. The AFL channel doesn't have a highlights package for that game, and the GWS channel hasn't uploaded anything since preseason

It's still a bit of an overreaction I imo, Essendon are less affected by this than people think.

Hard to argue with the criticism of Hogan based on this years form. His body language was pretty poor at times last year but he got a pass because he was competing, out working his opponent, and keeping on going when the ball hit the ground. Don't want him to turn into the old Jack Riewoldt.

I would agree, but like I said, essendon made a lot of unforced errors. It was so bad that I was getting deja vu because the game felt exactly like an old suns game. Back when they used to get absolutely throttled by any team worth a poo poo, except we were on the right side of it. I could certainly see an argument for the bombers not having played together, so they were bound to get off to a rough start to the year as they got their feet under them, but they looked every bit the wooden spoon front runner in round 1. It'll be interesting to see how good they actually are as the season goes on. Volkerball fucked around with this message at 23:29 on Apr 4, 2016 |

They're still right in the race for the spoon; Essendon wins over Melbourne tell you as little about how Essendon are going as Melbourne wins over Essendon. I'm happy that Carlton, Essendon and Brisbane are at least going to put up a bit of a fight on their way down to the cellar, the worst thing is when you're a fan of a team that has basically lost every game by quarter time.

Alright so I've watched my second game which was the Crows vs Port Adelaide Power. I unfortunately was treated to another big blowout. I've got some more questions but I'll just ask a few now. Why didn't Port Adelaide wear their away jerseys? That poo poo was kind of frustrating to watch when the camera zoomed out as both jerseys were fairly dark. Also why don't they have the players names on the Jerseys? That's also really frustrating. There's like a 1,000 people on the pitch and I'm trying to figure out who certain people are to no avail. It doesn't help that when the players do get mentioned I sometimes have no idea what they're saying through the accent. The small aboriginal (?) forward for the crows was very good but I never got his name.

They don't have player names on the jumpers because a bunch of big whiney idiots complain that it's not traditional. Eddie Betts, you'll get to know him a lot.

It's like when people were against goal line tech in soccer even after it had been demonstrated to be completely accurate. The arguments basically were "people should sometimes get screwed out of goals because it's part of the drama and things have always been that way" Not having names on guernseys is a great way to put off new fans. e- It's probably hurting jersey sales too, so stupid all around.

the names on jersey's was trialled for a round e: in 2014 but was only a one off thing. this thread even got in a big dumb argument about whether names should be on there or not. traditionally speaking in big australian sports names just arent on jerseys, which goes for afl, nrl, and rugby union (cricket one day and t20 kits are the only real exception to that), so when people talk about bringing it in it fans can get a bit parochial and it becomes about the americanisation of our game vs basic convenience. some clubs have been around for 150+ years with the same uniform, so people get fiercely protective of how it looks, despite stupid clash strips getting introduced and replaced every year plus sponsors logos etc. its a touchy subject at best. snaeksikn fucked around with this message at 04:54 on Apr 5, 2016 |

I would also like to see Hoskin-Elliot and Kolodjashnij fit on the back of a jumper and still be legible. Im all for names being on the backs. Makes things so much easier for fans.

I'm struggling to see what's "American" about names on jerseys. I think every sport I've watched at a high level has players with names on jerseys. I have some new sports channel that airs all types of awful stuff like Russian hockey and Chinese basketball and they have names on their jerseys. It's not an American thing... it's a common sense thing, especially when there are about 60 players on a pitch. Maybe names on Jerseys did start here but who cares, good ideas are meant to be adopted. It's funny because AFL, out of all the weird sports and leagues I've watched, on the face of it seems the most "American" to me. The team names, hard hitting action, no promotion/relegation, the frequent display of stats all game etc.
