Freo and GC playing the first game without a behind being scored in the first half, 6 v 7 goals at half time. A pretty decent game to watch, with a bit of push and shove at half time.

Some good shirtless footage of Taberner as well, a lot to like about the freo v suns game.

Holy cow. What a finish to the bombers carlton game! That was a lovely game to watch but at least the last 2 minutes were interesting.

oh man, Essendon couldn't get it done even after the gifted 50 there at the end. Bombers still have a game in hand but that's a rough one to lose.

what a disgraceful ending to the game though. Eddie Betts hit with a very random 50m penalty, despite Saad playing on, then the umpire making that 50m penalty closer to 75m. Bizarre game, we played like rubbish, Essendon played worse but hung on.

Footy is poo poo again. But we should have lost by a lot more tonight so, can’t really be too down on that.

Not often I'd say this but I'm actually glad we lost tonight. Firstly for how bad we played we didn't deserve to be that close and to let us feel like that is an acceptable standard to play and win games isn't good for us. But also because to win off the back of that would have been insane, what the hell was that ump thinking??

I actually forgot the match was on. Turned on the TV to see the Crows down by a couple of goals and thought, okay, not too bad. Apparently we were 40 points down at half time? Haha. Traditional Crows Honourable Loss coming up.

Would have been turbosmashed if Brisbane could kick straight, they missed some absolute sitters all game to end up with 10.23, zero pressure 30 out straight in front type of misses

This week I will be blaming the Demon's performance on the long layoff, thereby neatly making it Essendon's fault.

Dangerfield is a bit of a flopping dickhead on the field, I feel like his reputation would be so much better if he was just a no fuss player.

Commentators constantly suck his dick and ignore his flopping so I’m not sure I buy that it actually hurts his reputation, it should, but it doesnt.

It's weird with Dangerfield, because he is a genuinely tough and courageous player despite his tendency to flop. Hard to know what to make of him. So much for an honourable loss for the Crows. At least this time we're an actual basket case rather than just disappointingly mediocre. Hopefully it prompts actual changes for the first time ever.

Port Adelaide are an up-and-coming team with some exciting young players and an entertaining game style, they would be pretty fun to follow. Perhaps it's a bit too easy to recommend them at the moment since they're undefeated and at the top of the ladder, though. Tell us something about your usual sports team preferences and we might be able to make an appropriate recommendation.

But the AFL club history is closer to the New York Knicks than anything else. Don’t worry about having to choose a favorite team after two games. Enjoy the sport and let it come naturally.

without the special soccer channel they put most of the games on, I don't get enough of the games to really latch onto one team in my opinion. I just let the sports wash over me. incidentally, was funny to see that one-pointer where the losing team had more goals but lost on behinds iirc, Carlton and someone, how often does that happen?

Players just drop the thing or throw it forward or to a teammate and the umpire just waves play on until there’s an enormous scrum around the ball it’s miserable to watch.
