Anthony Smith

Little bit of a news break to kick off the new footy season! Gonna jump on this to say our @BtGonSportFM preseason cheat sheet series for each team is in full swing right now on podcast platforms, check it out! open.spotify.com/show/1Qwi0eCn2…

@J0ecitizen @WCEBeagle Yeah weird, not a fan of it either way.

@Anthonydsmith86 @WCEBeagle Was definitely audible at the ground when he lined up for goal especially. Really weird stuff from our fans. TB and Oscar(to a lesser extent) I can understand but not JD.

Post match train thought: Didn’t like the booing of JD. We didn’t want him & he was a good (if not frustrating) servant of the club #AFLEaglesRoos

@J0ecitizen @WCEBeagle I honestly didn’t notice it at the ground

@WCEBeagle Was awful and very unlike our crowd to do that. He’s a champion of our club and he left with our blessing.

Even with the win for West Coast yesterday (maybe even more so) I strongly maintain Lindsay should have played. Needed to be a part of that yesterday

Milan Murdock is coming for Shaun Mannagh’s AFL coaches association Best Young Player Award!

I rate these @NMFCOfficial jumpers!

Our Sunday best bets is live for Round 2. Last week saw our streak come to an end, falling one disposal short with the ball in the players hand on the final siren! This week we shoot for redemption backing in that same player again!

@lozza929406 @AJG_87 I think the wins will come when they get enough consistent experience into the high draft picks. Lindsay should be playing every game he can and taking every kickout we can give him alongside Duursma and CDT. Then you’re rolling into next year with 20+ afl games in them

@AJG_87 If it was Allan people would lose their marbles Lindsey is 18/19 He’s gone for experience Id like to win this game ahahha

Haha I knew he’d drop one of Lindsay or Allan 🤦 happy with the other changes though

Unless Lindsay pulled up sore from his first game, dropping him is a deadset joke

@AJG_87 @Readingthegame2 Really liked the look of Allan on the wing in the second haf last week, felt it helped him work into the game more

@Readingthegame2 Would have Baker in the front half personally if Duggan and Lindsay are also in the 23

My WEST COAST v North lineup.

@pkd73 @benhook1 @kanecornes @1116sen Optus Stadium was booked by the Women’s Asian cup. They’re super strict and demand to have exclusive access to the venue 10 days prior and 2 days after. 2 games were scheduled so AFL was essentially locked out till this week

@benhook1 @kanecornes @1116sen Fair call and makes sense. I guess they had to keep AO and Optus free just in case. I was probably thinking conspiracy too much. So is the shield final a week later this year?

@kanecornes @1116sen can’t believe you didn’t mention on Fireball how ridiculous it was that for the second week of footy (round 1) there was still no footy in SA or WA with one in QLD, one in NSW and the rest in Victoria.

Here’s the interesting thing about having your ‘clean record’ be a positive factor when facing the afl tribunal. If it works and you do get a lesser sanction or even get off because of it, then the next time you’re up there you still have a ‘clean record’ to take into account…

Decent start to the year but Gulden hurts #aflfantasy

14 minutes into this game and McKercher is still on the bench. North realise the sub is gone yeah?

@Ready1976 They had him trapped in no man’s land playing the half forward graveyard shift. Just half in half out of the play all day

Murphy looking a bit distracted and off his game a bit today. Get around him boys and bring him into the play.

Time to put Reid into the Centre bounces Freo!

Love Huddo as a caller but I’m not sure he should do Cats games, hard to hide his bias sometimes

Freo are absolutely on here

@aflratingsPete Matildas played Optus Stadium on the 1st of March for AFC with a semi final also scheduled for March 17. Stadiums are handed over to the AFC for exclusive use at least 10 days before its first match and until two days after the last match. Kinda stuffed both WA teams there.

Zero games in Perth or Adelaide for the first 2 weeks of the season.

Green ticks all around for opening round, hope you followed!

Sunday best bet is live for this afternoon. Follow responsibly!
