Team changes

In: Tom Scully, Jack Trengove, Matthew Bate

Out: Matthew Warnock, Joel MacDonald, Austin Wonaeamirri

 

Looks like Garland is fit considering neither Warnock or Macdonald were named in the emergencies!

Wow. Did not expect Warnock to get the chop. Especially given Rivers holds his spot (ridiculous really).

Wonna unlucky. Thought he was tackling and applying good pressure in the forward line. MacDonald was to be expected.

The ins are good, Scully Trengove and Bate all make us better and we're better adapted to Carlton. I just wish it was Rivers out instead of Warnock.

 

good changes, Warnock a bit stiff but he did get pantsed by the POD last week and carlton's midget forward line mean no match up

bring on the bluescum

whats going on with warnock? dropped because of carlton's pace in the forward line? would that thought rivers would have been the first to get chopped.

I think Cheney might get a deserved call up if Garland does not come up

Would love to see McKenzie & Cheney squeezed into that side!

 

Mclean dropped as well!

Arrrgggh had a bad feeling that would happen

Don't forget Cheney is named and can play tall as well

Reckon it's strange that both Warnock and Macdonald got the flick ahead of Rivers, and neither are emergencies. Oh well, not too shabby all the same.

Agreed. I think we almost look a little stretched down back without him there - who plays on Kreuzer or Jacobs while they're forward?


I have a feeling they are giving Rivers every chance to prove that he still has a spot in the side, and that they'll stick with him for the rest of the season before making a call.

Very surprised about Warnock though. He had a shocker last week, but I definitely see him as part of a our future.

So happy to see Scully and Trengove back.

Good team!

Disappointed about Brock, and I reckon the boys will be too. It was a bit of an added incentive to win.

Rivers is still in because of his leadership ability, I'd say. They really talk him up in that regard, so I'm not surprised he's still in. Similar to Bruce, there must be things he does that we simply can't see.

Well said Rivers very, very lucky


HahahahhaBahahahahaha aha. McLean dropped!

Immediately after the Hun runs a story on Judd advising Brock on how to deal with playing against his old team this weekend!

Hahaha on top of your game Hun, keep it up :P

Cheney is definitely an option and seriously deserves it as he has been starring with the Scorps.

Don't forget Cheney is named and can play tall as well

Does he bring a stool!!

Can he play small to start with?

Not fast enough for the smalls. Not strong enough for the talls.

He would really want to do better than rely on that. Dropping marks and poor disposal are not the hallmarks of a leader.

Agree.

He's pushed Warnock out of the team. He's going to have to give a heck of a lot more than what he's been giving to make that a good move.

  • 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.
