Reminds me of a guy I used to play cricket with back in Perth, he’d regale the younger guys at the club with his stories of massive nights on the everything while at the rippers, and also having a live in prostitute for when he regularly visited Bali, all the young blokes loved him, the older blokes couldn’t stand his bullshit.

Everyone kept going on this season about how loved Jack is at Port and how was everyone’s mate at Melbourne, can’t help but think what a massive distraction he could be.

Jack Watts seems like a man who is easy to please. Set him up with a swimming pool and some tits and he's set for the night

Also seems like a gigantic piece of poo poo being that blatantly nonchalant about cheating on his partner

Dan Menzel has been delisted by the Cats.

Were Cats fans expecting this? It was a bit of a surprise to me cause I was expecting him to get a 1 year contract - he did kick 15 goals in the first 5 games of the season (27 all up) despite missing a shitload cause they injected his junk with stuff.

Yes. Dan is a good lead up fowarded but he can't turn anymore. His tackling pressure is non existant and he's useless when the ball hits the deck. This is why he was being shopped around last year.

I feel for the bloke after working so hard to get back, but in spite of his obvious positive attributes we really need to be able to apply more physical pressure in the front 50.

His now ex-girlfriend used a camera phone to take pictures of what was allegedly Jack Watts' instant messenger history, complete with appointments for sex workers and strippers, talk about cocaine fueled parties he was often at, and cheating on his girlfriend with at least one other woman, one of whom was quite into the banging some other girl's partner on the sly thing. Pics were on bigfooty and reddit, but not anymore, because they contained names, phone numbers, and home addresses of Jack and his other women.

The fact that NZ doesn't have a suitable stadium in Auckland pretty much killed that despite the Saints amazing ability to play poo poo footy. From what I know the plan is still to return to NZ, but only after Auckland stadium is suitable: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-10-25/nz-still-wants-afl-games-despite-saints-china-foray

I'm not surprised they have to scratch around for a decent stadium. The Caketin in Wellington is fine, just not really enough people into footy there, but Eden Park is barely suitable for cricket (just thinking how ridiculous the NZ v Aus round robin match in the 2015 World Cup was...)

Larger crowds than the saints or the dogs on offer.

Makes sense given that North and Blues are on either side of royal park with the royal childrens hospital equidistant inbetween the two clubs.

It isnt a prime time spot anyway, good friday game is on at like 3:20 so as not to overlap the telethon.

It is now the traditional season opener after the past 10 years of it happening, plus richmond opened the season about another 4 times since 2000 as well.

It is also the only big 'event' game the two clubs get. (good friday is not a big event, everyone is away for the long weekend)

Edit: Actually Richmond get dreamtime at the G, I forgot about that.

I disagree. All three Sunday games are between teams that would be aiming to finish at about the same place. St. Kilda vs Gold Coast are both wooden spoon contenders, so that’s a fight both will want to win to get an early start off the bottom. Essendon are trying to say they’re a top eight team, and playing GWS should be a good benchmark. Plus, Shiel was one of the most talked about trades in the recent trade period, and we get to see him play against his old club right from the beginning. Freo vs North will both be trying to improve and although North finished higher last year, both teams were in the same vicinity. Both teams will be fighting to show significant improvement over the off season.
I reckon there’s a chance each of those games could be a close-faught contest.
