AFL Round 1-One Sentence report

The first round of football is over and indeed it has served up enough intrigue for the 2 weeks it spanned:  Here is our 1 sentence reaction to the first game performance of all 18 teams:

1.Sydney Swans

Well they played GWS who will find it hard and did what they needed to do, not pretty but solid.



2.Adelaide

Like Sydney did what they needed to do, promising start for Sanderson.

3.West Coast

Fine win away against the disappointing fading Bulldogs, midfield and rucks and the infamous "zone" again looking impenetrable at times.

4.Carlton

Showed Richmond that THEY are the real deal and will go far in September.

5.Brisbane Lions

Commendable win away from home against an emotionally tired Melbourne team, will surprise this season very talented crop of young leaders in the midfield coming through but Black is still king.

6. Hawthorn

Excellent win against last years Grand Finalists justified their favourites tag, Cyril and Buddy unstoppable.

7.Port Adelaide


They won?

8.Fremantle

Impressive start to season, looked aggressive, inspired and in Fyfe a player who will be top 10 in the competition sooner rather than later

Do they still play this?  Heck i love it

9.Essendon

Lucky in the end, but the Kangaroos are never easy to beat.

10.North Melbourne

Kept the rivalry going but were nearly there, loss could really hurt at the pointy end of the season

11.Geelong 

Was baited by Freo and they bought it, will be back.

12.St Kilda

Disappointing to lose to a side that couldn't beat a rabbit with a stick last season, a clean out might be needed?

13.Collingwood

Showed enough and will be better for the experience, players and coach Buckley alike

14.Melbourne

Disappointing but made no excuses for it, need leaders to stand up.

15.Richmond

Hyped again lost again, still a team in progress

16. Western Bulldogs

At least they're not the worst team in the comp with "West" in their name

17.Gold Coast Suns

Not flying high, Ablett show but no one else turned up

18.Greater Western Sydney

Actually played ok gritty footy will be better than many thought...maybe.
