Season kicks off with Carlton v Richmond tonight.

Let's go Tigers.

All scores, updates, discussion for all non-Essendon games for this season should go in this thread.

That Carlton team they are unbelievable What a load of s**t we have Judd, no.1 draft pick etc. and they still play the same crap football year after year, I hope they lose at least I have some satisfaction with all the stupid Carlton supporters. Even if they win they are still pathetic.

C'mon Tigers. Up by a couple of points at 3Q time. Mighty impressed with that Jake King. He is a real ripper. Reminds me so much of Hardwick in the way he goes about his footy.

Hope nobody has Hartlett in their Dream Team.

Gone for 5, at the very least.

lol @ Carlton

All that really needs to be said.

Justice has been served. Well done Tigers. If we lose to Carlton this year then we never will win against them ever again. I want blood in round 3 and hand them the longest losing streak in their history.

Haha, "Tankers R Us" are off to a flyer this year. Start playing for the priorty pick again chaps.

Some really dumb football in that game. Judd won't make up for crap of that magnitude.

As the ninthmond sign said "Tankers are Wankers"

Geelong comfortably 5 goals up against Port Adelaide. Can't wait for next week's match See where we are at. Id love a close one even if we lost would really send a good vibe. ill just stick to mondays game first.

Check out Gary Ablett Jr's hair well lack of!! Poor man inherited the old man's genes it looks like it

f*** Geelong look good.

Josh Hunt injury to his ankle. See how that turns out during the week. Probably has too long of a break if it's nothing serious to rest up.

Go you beaut Tigers. Absolutely delightful watching Carlton's so-called recently rediscovered 'swagger' disappear in the space of two hours after capitulating to a team that is very likely to be bottom 4. Eat shit Carlton, and then after that, eat some more shit.

Richmond looked very ordinary last night. Cant see them getting out of the bottom two. The skill level was awful from both teams, but that is to be expected in round 1. Carlton simply werent fit enough and couldnt run in the second half. They have no ruckman and no defence.

Richmond have a shit midfield save from a couple of players, no back up ruckman, a raw defence and a half decent forward line. Carlton will still finish higher than Richmond, but it was good to see them lose and hear them say "new captain, same shit"

Glad to see Richmond win. What did everyone think of the umpiring, I think Carlton got a fairly good run.

Not a factor. And I still hate the hands in the back rule. It's shit. I can't fathom why a player is penailsed for placing a hand on the back (not infringing in any way) but allow a full on hands in the back (with a little push) when two players fight for the ball on the ground. It is F****** ridiculous. But that's not the umpires fault, it's the shit rule.

Richmond had some soft ones too.

Judd was starting to look pretty sore at the end of that match. Looked like that groin is still playing up. It would be a true pity if he never played at the same level - I've gone to the footy in the past just to watch him play.

Freo still piss weak and flakey under pressure. The two periods in the game where they fell off the pace were in the first 15 minutes when it was red hot, and in the last quarter when the game was on the line. Different coach, same old Freo. I think Rusling did his shoulder (again) - he was in tears.

One bloke who i think Freo will miss, having watched today's game, is Shane Parker. He was only ever a solid defender, but he took the best/biggest forward most weeks and usually did a decent job. Now their #1 defender is Grover and a good forward line with 2 or more talls will stretch them.
