Aussie Rules Official AFL 2010 Thread

I tipped Adelaide to make the top four this season, and yet I expected them to get belted by the Blues, which they did. I don't think they are to blame though, serious injury list they've got building down there. They're in for a long haul down the bottom though once a few players retire (Burton, McLeod, Goodwin etc). Dangerfield is a gun though. Probably need to put their trading pants on with the GC coming in.

Playoff between arguably the worst (sorry, least good) teams in the league right now tomorrow. Melbourne are the better team but Richmond play well against them. If ever a team were to have a winless season, it's Richmond 2010, but I'm rooting for them still.

I've tipped Melbourne, but I believe Richmond's got better players. Still it's a bit weird that Richmond suspended their best player in their only winnable match.

Ya can't blame the injuries for Adelaide's bad start to the season. We have enough young players to replace everyone on the injury list. So i guess that's no excuse. But even when your watching the Crows play, they just look slow, no enthusiasm to attack the ball or the player with the ball. Maybe they want the coach gone?

A slow start from the Dees but we're playing some good footy now... it's been a joy to watch Scully and Trengove tearing it up. Also, how awesome has Jamar been in the ruck? The Richmond guy hasn't got a clue, he's tried jumping early, jumping late, not jumping, Jamar's just dominating. Great stuff from the Russian.

I must say, it's good to see players like, Trengrove, Scully, Dustin Martin, Trent Cotchin and Deledio all playing in the same game. All these guys will be big in the next 5 years

Wow, another impressive performance by the Dees. More winnable games to come as well.

Roo, not sure if you knew but Nathan Jones is even younger than Deledio... he's only 22, so I think he will definitely be a huge player in the next 5 years, keeping in mind that Deledio's already played a year or two more AFL than Jones.

I keep forgetting how young Jones is, his bald head makes him look about 30.

Good on the Dees, I think they'll finish higher than us this year.

Nathan Jones has been good for a while. How good has Moloney been this year? Was brilliant yesterday. I seriously reckon we can take it up to the Lions this week. Garland should go to Jonathon Brown, and Warnock to Fev. IIRC Garland played a brilliant game on Brown in 2008, Round 14 at the MCG.

That's the least of our worries though, tbch. We need to shut down Power, Drummond, Black (if he's back), Sherman, Raines, Rich, Selwood, Rischetelli, Leuenburger and Brennan in the middle. That's gonna be a test for our midfield. Brisbane's taller defenders might also be a worry.

What a win!!

Gonna be rubbing this in to a few people at school... fantastic effort from the Dees. I haven't been as happy watching anything like that for a long time.

 

[Covvy]

Dees, another win next week you'd think. poor efort by Brisaben though, I mean even you Blake, must agree that brisbane has by far better players than you?

 

[Roofrom50]

By gee the Lions played some terrible football. But i was amazed when i saw the score late last night, and i must admit, it is so good to see the Demons on a winnning streak.

Jack Trengove gets the Rising Star Nomination. Has to be a big chance for the title?
