From twitter it sounded like some really terrible conditions.

Glad I picked up Mummy in Supercoach this week. :d

If they don't make the 8 after signing Dal Santo, Brad Scott gets the sack.

yeh thats a big one in my books just have to wait and see i guess ... thomas sort of showed he could actually take a set shot so i dunno but if they dont make the 8 this season then struggle town continues for north

North were absolutely flacid. They still haven't sorted out that forward line and there's nobody making plays down back. 5 seasons on and Josh Gibson still hasn't been replaced, and I'm wondering if Daw will ever live up to all the hype and perform more to the level of his flashes of brilliance, or if he'll be another Daniel Wells.

The players would do well to be reminded that they're probably playing for Brad Scott's job this season.

Forward line is second rate, against a half decent backline we are going to struggle scoring. Young Joe is still a year or two off being the kinda player we need up front. Another thing that will cost us in the long run is our inability to consistently put pressure on the opposition's forwards, we had countless air swings last night. That being said our run and carry is top notch and our ball disposals are right up there. Hope the Bombers can make a fist of it this year. Will be a pass mark next week if we get within four goals of the Hawks.

It's tv driven. Ch7 paid 1b for this. Split the opening round, show maximum games, double advertising potential.

Just got home from the bombers v kangas game 42k not bad crowd pretty crap game though wasn't that essendon were great it's just the kangaroos were bad hopefully the round 1 Shingles are out and we play better against the hawks otherwise we are stuffed

this , plus the afl want to take on the nrl , some afl fans think this will kill off league in gc and ws:lol:

They'll have shortened their odds to both being under $2 so even if you win you'll still lose a couple of hundred dollars.

Alright, the only reason I'm interested in this sport is betting.

I just saw an ad by Sportsbet claiming that "if your team (the team you bet on) are leading at the end of any quarter and lose, you get your money back." For the first round only.

Now if I put $1000 on each team, is there any possible way that I can't win? Obviously I'd lose a thousand on one team, but I'd make more than on the winnings.

It benefits TV ratings. Prime time games on Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday night over the weekend followed by Thurs, Fri, Sat. night prime time next weekend.

To soon but my god =d>

ha,ha, had him starting in one of my teams
10 minutes into the game, I thought: oh, oh....

yeh thats true still a long wait till friday night :cry:

Being that they perceive the A-League as a rival and that the A-League shies away from having their season at the same time as the AFL it benefits the AFL to have a longer season.

i lol'd ... but honestly making the season longer does what ? i love my footy but its the same thing every year don't see how it benefits much ....

Making the season last longer. When you can't add substance, add length. There's a penis joke in there somewhere.

anyone know whats this sudden love for a split round with the afl personally i cant stand it

What was Sydney's average crowd last year?

rofl so much for the 20k plus Demetriou and his cronies has been talking up all week, would say that's a good dose of karma after AFL media have been attacking NRL crowds as well. 17k may be a ground record but it's still an awful turnout for a "Derby"

Yea great wins by the Giants and the Suns today.

Hope you didn't have Jack Martin. ;)

Incredible win by the Giants, only their 4th in 45 games, their first against the Swans.
Attendance of 17,100 is their best ever attendance at their home ground.

Good job Swannies. All the Buddy in the world can't help you there.

GWS have improved - SWANS looked underdone. Very dissapointed in the Swans game so sloppy.

Jack Martin named for the Suns' opening game.

Even Heineken is cringing at that one.
