All good WYL. I just knew, in my opinion, that he did dominate against us in some games, but he is nearer the end now and not as much of a concern.

No Josh Fraser has never Dominated the MFC!!! Cheap stats do not tell a full story.

    Given it is the GC's first home game, I think he will play.

    2nd Home Game.....Carlscum were the lucky Bastards to get them first.

    Has there ever been an easier AFL 4 points on offer???

    Grr i despise Carlscum so much!!!!!

    Great news.

    TAB has suspended betting, i'm guessing when the odds get re-announced we will be paying about 1.05

    Pretty much guarantees victory. Even if we play shockingly like last week, we should still win comfortably.

    Going into the bye with 2 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss- and still haven't hit 3rd gear- is not a bad result at all!

    Our draw this year is really helping us. If we are even half good we should really make top 10 comfortably, and top 8 isn't without a chance

    It's fair to say that I will kill myself if we lose this match... or win by less than 40 points... or lose a single critical stat.

    MASSSSSSSIVE blow to the Suns, bahaha!

    Bail will get a chance to roam a bit more freely, mayhaps?? Be a bit more attacking now that Gold Coast are without any dangerous players?

    We SHOULD destroy the Suns now... obliterate them.

    1.09. Line at 46.5 and we should cover that as a minimum.

    Let's hope the Team still take tomorrow seriously....will test our coaches too.

    Thats a great point. Carlton went in after the Rnd1 warm up game, and Suns were cold & shadowy for their first up game.

    Interesting to hear he pulled up sore from last week's game when I saw him playing mixed netball on Sunday night in Melb.

    There was a lot of criticism about the way the Brisbane Bears were put together as a team in 1987 when they made their debut in the VFL. However, they were far more competitive to start with than Gold Coast so far. Most of the Bears players had spent time in the VFL system and had some senior experience whereas many of the Suns' kids have been thrown to the wolves. While some might benefit from this experience, I suspect that others are going to fall by the wayside because of lack of proper grounding.

    As for today, I hope that Melbourne exploits this experience and lack of leadership in as ruthless a manner as possible. The club had its chances last week and blew them with a poor start but really, we will be the joke of the competition if we don't put this lot away early.

    Yep. I wonder if that contributed to his general soreness? Bet that would make headlines :P

    The million dollar man is a colossal out for the Suns, really should make for some interesting viewing if it wasn't already.

    Hopefully somewhere is this training drill Tapscott gets a run up forward.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      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

      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.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
