I’m a Richmond supporter, But I have to give credit to Carlton. They played the best they’ve ever played, Dusty had a amazing game, Riewoldt really good goals. Good win tigers.

[@spello8191]

Dusty was the difference but as were Carlton’s mistakes! Go the the Blues in 2021!

[@metallewd3472]

9 goals in time on. Our ability to run out a quarter will hurt many sides again.

[@spello8191]

@@metallewd3472 Dusty would have to the best Big Game player that the AFL has seen in many a year. A three time Norm Smith medallist. So wish he was Carlton! Well done Richmond for securing the best footballer possibly of our time...

The AFL need to upload these highlights earlier

[@DV-zv4ox]

They normally do upload them pretty quickly. Perhaps they were trying something different this time.

[@angusbuttifant5562]

Agreed

[@angusbuttifant5562]

They usually upload it like 3-2 hours after game

[@chiefchimp4377]

They don’t upload within a few hours of the final siren for the first time since 2019 and of course someone had to have a sook about it.

[@newsgetsold]

They are available earlier at afl.com.au

[@Bazzaa]

So we've got 1080p finally, Does this mean we'll have to wait 24 hours everytime for a highlights video...

[@ShezzasVideos]

Honestly I'd rather 720p in two hours then 1080p in one day

[@zaco21_]

I mean I’ll take the 1080P Quality but I guess that takes more time to upload the Highlights

What a battle it was before last quarter. The blues showed lots of Determination to take on the primers. Riewoldt with 4 goals was good. Dusty still a goat. Happy birthday to Patrick Cripps! Saad and Walse was great. Over great opener to the season. 👏👏👏👏

Astbury's slight elbow to Plowman cops a feature, but nothing about McKay's hit on Vlastuin? That hit could've ended very badly, and almost reminded me of Milburn on Silvagni in 2001. Seems the focus is still RiChMoNd BaD

[@geronimo803]

Not sure why the commentators after the game said Carlton didn’t play well, or don’t have the skills to keep up.. the scoreboard is misleading.. it was a much closer game than the scoreboard indicates.. As a Richmond supporter, I gotta give credit to Carlton.. They took it to the tiges and they stood up.. But it was a valiant effort and very exciting game.. up to the start of the 4th quarter it could’ve gone either way.. Great season opener
