I think we'll be in a much better position to predict the remaining games after Sunday.

Sunday (Round 13) will be the first time since Round 5 (Saints) that we won't be playing a top 8 team and should get a sense of the extend they have learnt the new game plan and applying it under pressure for four quarters.

Round 6 - Geelong - Reigning premier - currently 7th

Round 7 - Hawthorn - 2008 Premier - currently 5th

Round 8 - Sydney - Currently 4th

Round 9 - Carlton - wanna be contenders - currently 9th

Round 10 - Essendon - ditto Carlton - currently 6th AND we won

Round 11 - Collingwood - 2010 Premier - currently 3rd

Round 13 - GWS - currently 17th

Round 14 - Brissie - currently 15th

Etc...

I tipped 5 wins for the 1st half, and I find myself doing the same now. Hope I'm as much out the other way this time.

On one hand I look at the fixture and think to myself that there is an option there to win almost every game, maybe save just the Adelaide one.

On the other hand, I think about how bad we have been at times this year, and think to myself that we can feasibly lose all these games.

Our best chance is surely Gold Coast at the G, more so than GWS this week because I feel like GWS is gelling as a team really well, whereas GC is falling apart.

Non-development team games, I think our best bets are North, St Kilda and Fremantle at Etihad.

I don't think we'll beat anyone except GWS and GC, but I didn't think we'd beat Essendon.

PREVIEW: St. Kilda
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
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.
