I'm not sure if the expecations were unfair.

Not his fault but that's what happens when you're drafted at number 1.

At best I think he'll be a fair footballer.

He isn't looking like he will be a champion. It was back in 2008 he was picked.

It is normal to have expectations that a #1 pick to perform, but the player themselves don't choose to be number 1.

Damn I'm on zero so far in tipping.

Good to see the saints pulled that useless waste of space called Mc Cartin at half time, lousy 2 touches in half a game. Put the useless unco ordinated bumbling idiot up for trade this year. He is not a footballers fart and will never make it. He tried and is now washed up also ran.

The Power doing to the Hawks what they did to Richmond in last seasons finals.

Lake subbed off already with knee injury.

GWS up in to fourth after smashing Suns by 66 points, could have been 126 points if they kicked straight.

The WA posse will be happy watching the Freo v Sydney game.

Half time :

Apparently Sydney has conceded the midfield to Fremantle. clearance are also offlimits. The midfield group is spending the game looking at photos of baby joey on kennedys iphone6. probably hungover from celebrating the birth of baby Joey also

Jetta is horrible. Get him off the field. Horse's solution was to move him forward where he is just as horrible

Buddy apparently is the only Sydney player allowed within 70 meters of goal.

Sydney have been so pathetic it is a difficult game for a Swans supporter to watch. Like the Grand final last.

Hopefully they come out in ten 3rd quarter and the midfield have finished their cupcakes and fairy bread and decide to make a game of it

3rd quarter.

Now that was an awesome quarter from Sydney.

Longmire told them 'No more baby talk!'. Smart phones and photo sharing was banned for that quarter.

Shaw, Reid , Hannebery, Jack all on fire. Gangly Giraffe Reid was probably told he would be traded to St Kilda if he didn't get his finger out.

Buddy awesome as always.

Umpire decided Sydney could have a few Frees. Should have been a 50 to Buddy.

Silky skills all over.

Sydney, i forgive your insipid first half.

Watts is a big boy and big boys take a bit more time Roos isn't playing him key position.

See the woods won, thought the bombers were ready to loose one, and freo at home hard to pick against, but the Hawks going down hmmmm surprised me.

I agree.

Sydney had 2 goals disallowed: One was 'Umpires Call', the second 'hit the post'

The first one appeared to go under the defenders fingers!!

The 2nd one Appeared to hit a leg not the post!!

Buddy should have received a 50. The ball was kicked away. That could have been a goal

2 dubious penalties against Sydney led to goals. The slight touch of the back/diving forward will become an issue unless some common sense is applied.

Despite that. Sydney's first half was so completely pathetic in nearly every way they cannot complain too much.

What a great round of footy so far.

As predicted by many, a real tough round to pick.

I reckon all of today's games could go either way as well.

WCE are struggling agaisnt a struggling Brisbane side who

get back Rockliffe.

Can Geelong lift after losing players to injury and beat North

who, IMO should win? If the Cat's lose, Skilled Stadium no longer

the fortress it used to be.

Adelaide look the goods but the WB play Etiihad really well.

From what I've seen so far, there is a chasm between Syd, hawks,

Freo and Port from the next best side.

Your analysis make me think about changing my tips.

Yesterday was also interesting for the two massive comebacks of Hawthorn and Sydney.

Sydney was down by 48 points at half time? Sydney got to within 4 at one stage

Hawthorn down by 58 points at one stage? Hawks got to within about 7

Clarkson gets physical with Port fan goading him after defeat in Adelaide

Clarko should know better than to react and give away a 50.

The drunk idiot is filming himself as he harasses Clarko

Gee! Sometimes i just wish that some knobspanks get a good punch to the head to teach them some manners.

Clarko must have forgotten about the effectiveness of a discreet elbow jab to the solar plexus. He was in position to do it.

The question I think, is how much did Fox pay these turds for the video footage?
