Another massive game for the Premiers. Having copped a hiding last week, they now get the form team in the comp. If they get beat again, my confidence that it will all come good at for Richmond at the right time will be dented.
@mariner4life A loss I can cope with. Going to sleep in the second quarter and being flogged on clearances is a different matter.

We’ve started well...
-
Some pretty crazy results today.
Saints win massive against the Hawks. Can’t believe we kicked 19 goals. Probably should’ve been 25 with some of the sitters we missed as well.
Lions made Port look pretty ordinary.
Swans won a thriller against the Cats.
Cher cher the Suns won by 4 goals against the Pies. Pies look slooooowww

@act-crusader good day for Qld footy
Great result for the lions to easily beat a top side without Neale.

@mariner4life Charlie Cameron’s work rate was impressive. He’s been a bit down since the season started but today he was involved in plenty of scoring buildups, plus kicked a few goals himself.

With those two talls in the forward line we need our smalls firing to keep the scoring up. Cameron coming back in to form is perfect

Great comeback win for the Tigers, and without Dusty as well.
The Dees should go to the top today barring an unforgivable upset in Tassie. Such is our current depth, we've dropped Nate Jones and still won't select Sam Weiderman. Ben Brown makes his Dee-but (see what I did there) against his old side and he's been in great nick for Casey recently.

The new rules allow teams to pile on more points when they get that run of momentum
The defending team appears to be more power less to now to Halt that run of momentum,
So while overall it’s been great to have more open footy , I think the amount of one sided blow outs might be a concern if competitive football is also a priority

I don’t know about that because you still have to get centre clearances and generally get more inside 50s than your opposition.
I agree that in play and the pace of the game means there will be should be more scoring opportunities, and if you have quicker on ballers it will definitely help. But get those first two things right (centre clearance and inside 50s) you will win footy games.

I think centre clearances have become more important now , first use of the ball
Richmond as an example are a team that didn’t put a lot of emphasis on that ( I think they were bottom 4 statistically) they relied on turnover ball and would hurt you going the other way , I guess it’s still early days but that might be harder to do now .

how good are the Dees going?
7-0 and clear top of the ladder.
And now they sign Petracca for 7 years (8 really because he still has a year left on his current deal) and for what many consider unders. Seems like a win-win type deal actually, good move by both parties.

Ouch Richmond. Ouch.
Yeah the Cats big forwards were pretty unstoppable. 15 goals between 3 players has been pretty rare in recent years.
Saints came to play in the final quarter to take out the win against the Suns.
Suns are a hard scrappy side and not easy to get run against.
