I am in Darwin and the oppresive conditions really hit you when you arrive. Was still oppresive at game time last night.

For that reason I'd say we should play Jamar as the lone Ruckman with Dunn to pinch hit and provide extra running depth.

Who are the 4 that voted for Scully and Moloney (2 each)....seriously.....WAKE UP!

I don't agree with them BUT they are entitled to their opinion just like you and I. It's called freedom of speech!

You know, you could just click on 'View' next to their names. This new feature of 'Public Polls' allows you to see who votes for whom.

A bit of research goes a long way when posting on Demonland...

Just thinking ahead to the selection & the Geelong game, I think it suits this week for team Balance, that PJ will come out, for the Darwin game, with a smaller backup Ruck who can influence field play.

But for the Geelong game, I think we could go with a second Ruck in the Name of Spencer, down their.

We'll need Jetta for Geelong, so he'll play I'm sure this week. I think Wonna will play as we need him next week & he needs a run off interchange with managed ground time. Casey don't play for the next 2 weeks I think.

So, - I would bring in Newton/Dunn, whoever can serve us best in the ruck.

Jetta + Wonna & the Gys. Play a Small team this week as the ball will be mostly on the deck.

Miller for Bate, I'd rest the bate for 1 week, don't risk him with the big games coming up. Get him cherry ripe, 1 week off.

Cmon dee-luded....NEWTON???? Please leave his name well out of these discussions.....no good, just no good. Miller deserves chances before he is let go this year well before Newton.....Newton belongs to VFL level....Miller is above VFL level.

Miller can come in to play the back up ruck.....I will put my house on Morton coming in for Bruce. Miller for Johnson (who is another that has had enough chances and shown NOTHING). Bate will go out.....hope to see Gysberts come in. Jetta and Wonna are very close and maybe Jetta will get the go ahead of Wonna with the trip being not ideal for Wonna to recover at this stage.

I really hope that Gys is played...he deserves his shot. Darwin weather is obviously hot but alot of dew etc, which is ideal for smalls, but difficult to go in with only one ruck option.

OUT - Bruce, Bate, Johnson

IN - Morton, Gysberts, and one of Miller (for a back up ruck) or preferably one of Jetta or Wonna

PREVIEW: St. Kilda

When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round
NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

REPORT: Richmond

Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
