The excitement of the AFL Football season 2009 is fast coming upon us and as we eagerly wait, we at Kick2Kick wonder who will be the players to watch this year? Who will be the most exciting, most bravest and most skilled players?

Hawthorn won by 20 odd points which for many was a surprise but with four years in planning their time was due. Hawks won the game but the Geelongs forward line kicked the game away with their poor goal kicking.

Collingwood and Sydney have lost and are now on holidays and can think “what if he kicked straight?” Now the top 4 sides are left and do the Dogs and Saints have any chance?

Why is it that the skills and professionalism of AFL has improved out of sight yet they still cannot kick straight?

Many top eight teams failed to win against lower sides which makes the race for the finals interesting.

Goodes bad bump, Carlton win after being 7 goals behind and the Bulldogs, Geelong and Hawks ensure they remain the top 3 teams for 2008

First round down and 21 to go. Highlights of the round was Judd coming back successfully but without a win and some close games with one new coach winning his first game.
