North Melbourne suffer from the football club equivalent of small man syndrome. In the end, they are still irrelevant.

    You know you are in bad shape when Melbourne supporters are calling you irrelevant...

    The guy is small fries...

    We may lose on Saturday but we will get glory on the last saturday in September before the Kangas.

    Couldn't believe my eyes this morning when reading the hun when there is Brad Scott whining that Melbourne can't use injuries or suspensions as an excuse when they've ( kangaroos ) have had players unavailable all year. What is it with this club ? Just worry about what you're doing Kangaroos and stop worrying about us. Last years whinging was bad enough

    Isn't this a straw man? Have MFC indeed been already making excuses? I haven't heard any.

    Truth is that our team has also had injured players since the start of the year, but rather than use that as an excuse the MFC has blamed those who took to the field for any poor showings. There's a suggestion in Scott's bleating of a very shallow individual who is, in effect, making excuses.

    By God i hope we beat them on saturday....even by a point.

    Our Team is still good enough to do it, without the 4 players, this is how character is built.

    Remember in 1998 we went to Perth and Beat Wet Coke, with a bunch of no names-which then kick started our season.

    We can still win on saturday & the week after......BELIEVE I BELIEVE.

    I also heard a North supporter already making excuses on SEN before, stating they ar missing McIntosh (Goldstein is just as good), Bastinac (young and tries hard but not a star by any means), Greenwood (a battler with average skills).

    I always enjoy people claiming that players are out and costing them team, especially when they are no better than the players who are currently in the team!!!!!!

    Maybe we should whinge because Strauss is out, Campbell is not fit yet and Spencer is out for a year.

    I for one am hoping that we claim glory on the first Saturday in October.

    Won't happen, this year is a one-off. It will go back to Sept from 2012 onwards.

    Well it was at least a four-off if my memory serves me

    I was of the understanding that the bye weeks of 2011 pushed it out.

    Apologies if I am wrong.

    we're missing Jamar, Rivers, Scully, Trengove, McKenzie and Grimes

    that's ridiculous

    we'll still have them potatoes on toast

    • 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.

    • 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?

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      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.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
