Only one round into the new season and already a few teams have copped some heat for some lacklustre performances over the weekend, and the onus will be on them to bounce back in Round 2.
Mental health is always a big talking point in the AFL and unfortunately over the offseason we reached new heights.
Every year Round 1 is the round we talk about the most, and the one we know about the least.
Alex Rance will play no further part in the 2019 AFL season, after it was confirmed the star defender tore his anterior cruciate ligament in Richmond’s season-opening win over Carlton last night.

Rance, Doedee and now Vickers-Willis- a horrible start to 2019 for defenders.
The GWS Giants are flying after Round 1 – the Bombers, not so much.
There are three minutes left in the grand final. Collingwood have been hanging on for dear life for an hour now, but a ticking clock has tightened their grip on the premiership.
