AFL RD 1 chit chat

3/4 time odds: Roos 9 v 1.11 Collingwood

The FAT lady had one leg out the gate but she has gone back to her seat

Kangas only 11 points down..4 minutes to go

29k matched at 1.01

Centre clearances : Roos 17-8 Pies

game over

well deserved win by the Pies, North's skill errors throughout the majority of the game were shocking and pies pressure was terrific.

Full time: Roos 87-103 Collingwood

Bookies got the total under over line about right as well

underunder over190.5 pts

Last year the team on top of the ladder after Round 1 won the premiership, I have just loaded up on Port Adelaide.

can the Hawks break the Kennett Curse???

They might be a bit underdone like the Swans?

Not a bad point Joel, I hope not.  No Stevie J for the Cats will be enough to swing it the Hawks way imo

Well I hope, enjoy the game

Was good to see Lloydy say he thinks the Swans will go back to back - GO YOU GOOD THINGS

I'll be going with a couple of Hawks supporters....I hope the curse continues

Geelong all but good things for mine, you were told.

Going to give this one a miss , as I will be working later in the day. Have gone for Total Game Score: 171-180 pts @ 9.00, and 181-190 pts @ 8.00

I think there will be a stage of slow scoring in this game.............

real finals like intensity early

Hawks have gone some new players playing: Brian Lake (from the Doggies), Jonathan Simpkin (from Geelong) and Jed Anderson from NT Thunder

Geelong new players are: Jared Rivers (From Melbourne), Josh Caddy (Gold Coast) and Mark Blicavs (from Subury)

Geelong missing a bunch of key players: Steve Johnson, Daniel Menzel, Hamish McIntosh, Natahn Vardy, Dawson Simpson, James Kelly and Josh Hunt

Looking forward to the match up between Harry Taylor V Buddy Franklin & Roughead V Lonergan, Hawkins V Brian Lake........those contested battles will go a long way to deciding the match

underway Hawks 1.61 v 2.64 Geelong

grey day in Melbourne

Christensen injured early

friendly fire

Cats with the 1st goal

* Correction Hawks 1st goal

'Will Buddy's contract negotations affect the Hawks?' my vote YES

Big pace on so far.  Hawks shown not to be too fit, so thinking Cats can come over the top at the end.  Seen it all round so far teams and up for it, and Hawks will be about the worst in running a game out in R1.

hoping total match points lands between 171-190 pts got odds of around 4.00

Guerra from DOWN TOWN

Brad Hill has been good for the Hawks first quarter

I was trying to get a better price matched on Hawthorn. If Geelong converted one of those chances I would have got it. Think I've missed out now.

trent west with a video replay goal

give the benefit of doubt , the goal the original decision

VIDEO REVIEW is HERE To Stay

Dennis Cometti 'we have to up the technology'

MAJOR NEWS: 'Lance Franklin done his hamstring' quote Tim Watson the boundary rider

QTR TIME: Hawthorn 27-11 Geelong

QTR TIME ODDS: Hawthorn 1.40 v 3.350 Geelong

don't you hate it when you make an unders bet and click the button then realise you picked overs instead

Bradley Hill with 10 possessions in 1st quarter, is the younger brother of Stephen Hill from Fremantle

Buddy Franklin back on the ground

Franklin from DOWN TOWN

Chapman from DOWN TOWN replies with his own goal

you been watching too much NBA west coast

Josh Caddy having a nightmare in his 1st game..........bringing his Gold Coast form from 2012 here

Brad Hill creating havoc, have to get into the supercoach side I think, chapman atones for a silly free kick which cost them a goal by kicking one himself, good game this cats have only themselves to blame for their inaccuracy they should be closer but hawks have looked lightning quick at this stage and have been impressive.

Who does he think he is. How about looking for a team mate.

Centre Clearances: Hawks 7-3 Geelong

think Cats also missing Joel Corey today

Geelong should be in this though. Missed chances and some sloppy frees have cost them.

Nice punch from Schoenmakers there.....done well so far

Goals are worth gold today.............conditions a bit grey, definitely not a high scoring game....hoping tempo picks up in 2nd half

Franklin is playing well today as well, presenting well , giving his small forwards crumbs and opportunities on goal

Franklin with an assist, Smith with the goal

as Bruce McAvaney would say 'this is champagne footy'

Wheres the footy clock f u  k w wits ---If they think people at home dont wanna know the time then they are brainless

Time in Forward Half: Hawthorn 64% v 36% Geelong

I'm surprised by Geelong's lack of basic skills today.

HALF TIME: Hawthorn 57-37 Geelong

HALF TIME ODDS: Hawthorn 1.33 v 3.60 Geelng

im off guys enjoy rest of game, off to work

cats get two absolutely vital goals just prior to halftime and trail by 20 points and regain a little bit of momentum. This game is not over yet, hawks played really well and didn't put the cats away and the cats can improve a heap on what they showed in the first half.

c'mon cats margin back to 14 points terrific work there by selwood

this rule is going to ruin the game!!! Christensen was pursuing the ball and there was no force whatsoever in the incidental contact

selwood leading by example goals, margin now only 8pts, the hawks way

Motlop just misses what would have been goal of the year, cats have really lifted here, margin only 7 points.

Selwood having a blinder in the 3rd quarter and Hawkins caps off Selwood's great work.

jeff kennett is going be mightily DEPRESSED about things if they lose AGAIN.....

all tied up with 10min 30 left in the 3rd

pick ur price now blake84

smedts has had a very good quarter as well and appears much improved this season already but rivers just limped off with a possible knee injury a potentially game changing injury if he's out of play.

3/4 time: Hawthorn 70-72 Geelong

3/4 time odds: Hawthorn 1.90 v 1.90 Geelong

Game is 50 50 and I don't have the tv screen in front of me

Picked one a bit too early.

cats by 16 points c'mon boys after pods caps off some great work by varcoe.

seriously umpire how the fark was that deliberate he kicked forward at least 30metres  bouncing it along the line parallel to the line, these incompetent priicks are ruining our great game

The game has changed so much, in the 90's deliberate out of bounds were hardly ever paid

Hawks get 1 back

breust goals cats by 14 points , this games not over yet plenty of time for the hawks to make another charge.

hawks now trail by 8pts after Duncan just drops the mark.

duncan does well and atones for the mistake by taking a good mark in defence. cats doing enough.

Go the cats, you bloody beauty, this team is never beaten, don't say you weren't told and again at halftime.

Feel happy about that bet just had a gut feeling tempo would be slowed down at some stage

well done Lets - too good

there goes my multi

fark North letting me down yesterday my all up of the suns into port, north and the cats was 35/1, still the cats today and suns on Saturday night were nice results.

plenty of outsiders up in round one

not a bad round though, started off terrible thinking the crows were good things but was lucky in that I didn't have a bet no way known though could I  have been on the bombers, got back on track by backing my judgment and not backing the eagles and said that the market was completely askew, got the tigers right, confidently predicted that the saints were vulnerable and that gold coast were a big chance of rolling them, said that port would win, underestimated Collingwood's poise and depth and that North's skills under pressure would let them down badly Collingwood's pressure was terrific and basically declared the cats.

Port/Geelong/Collingwood to win the three supposedly 'close' games for the rest of the week.Would want to see something from Gold Coast before tipping them, although I do think the Saints could slip back into the bottom group this year

well done AD

Love the selective editing. Lets Elope quote Lions good things. Aussie Driver quote Carlton just win.Collingwood team to beat after round one.

Sorry the other one I got very wrong was the lions who I declared against the dogs they let me down badly but managed to miss getting on due to my own incompetence as thought the game started later than it did.

Thanks Lets

lol at Jibba Jabba. Declared Freo as well, you forgot about that. 4 out of 5 in what were deemed toss of the coin games is not so bad

no I was actually just rereading through the entire thread and forgot about the lions game, so no selective editing.

Also said the suns were a big chance of rolling over the top of the saints at 3/4 time, so I tipped strongly the upset of the round and again at 3/4 time didn't see you putting your money where your mouth is prior to any of the games, jibba jabba, so I suggest that you slither back under the primordial pond scum where you came from.
