Round 1 - Essendon v Hawthorn

Agreed, but Hibberd is much more than a one season wonder. He’s a victim of short memories and revisionist history.

I am over in Singapore for the game, can anyone give me any tips as to how I might get a live feed?

Probably will get better coverage than back home in Dubbo.

Check reddit r/afl if no one can provide you a link here.

Check out the Australia channel (I think it’s Australia plus TV now) which is viewed all over Asia.

Your hotel should have it, otherwise it shouldn’t be to hard to find a venue.

Was going to ask, if reddit does a similar thing for AFL as they do for Soccer?

If so, … it would be the best bet these days.

I don’t think they have a dedicated afl streaming subreddit, but on game threads there is usually a link floating about somewhere.

I actually saw that mistake earlier and wondered if someone would comment on it.

Of course add some Dill and all of a sudden you have a pun thread. Hardly what I’d call Mint.

We can’t lose to Hawthorn after all of the build up.

40 points minimum by half time. We set the bar high in a meaningless practice match

Nope.

Yes

Guys. Relax. We are definately gonna win. Nothing surer.

I saw an article about clubs players about to make an impact . Riley Bonner and Parish’s mate were mentioned as their respective clubs best young talent about to impact . Pity they aren’t in Red and Black . That was one situation , where there was no need to go the second round smoky . The team against the Hawks would be stronger with those two in .

Who would Mathieson get a game in front of this week? Langford? Parish? Watson?

Think he’s injured too. Also he can’t duck anymore.
