wb range rover!!

Cheers TPM. For that I'm turning over a new leaf. You're off my ignore list ... until round 1 and then we'll see what happens!

Not finishing in the Eagles B&F top 10 sets off the alarm and wakes it right up again - but then you probably reckon Gerard knows more than the Eagles FD.

NicNat was inconsistent no doubt, but there were games where he absolutely monstered the opposition. His best was better Jacobs and Maric, who were good but are not AA quality footballers.

Four seasons in to his career, we are yet to see our no.1 draft pick really take a game by the scruff of the neck.

Why can't he? He's got all the physical tools.

    Well just for the record it's guys like you that put me right on our Coach and good on you for supporting him. Like I say to many Demonlanders. We often disagree in a very heated manner at times but I compare it to two dogs on each side of a gate getting somewhat territorial. We all love Melbourne! For most of us and definitely for me consider Melbourne football club "to be my baby". Take the gate away and the barking stops and dogs start playing.

    The "baby" analogy comes from being a common sunbather on Seminyak beach. Pay the Vendor for the sun bed and umbrella and you become his baby for the day. No ones going to touch or annoy you.

    Once again WB and I was a little out of line with some of the exchanges. Go Dees...

    Watts has done a couple of times but agreed still gets pushed aside a little too easily. I think he has the skills and "smartness" to become a star. As I said in an earlier post there is still a reasonable amount of self preservation about the way he plays. IMO persistence is the key. Neeld certainly sees something in him and is aware of the "deficiency". Once move in particular was moving him to Jonathon Brown in the most recent Lions match. Watts will learn from this.

    Here's one for you. Not sure how far you go back. You would recall our R. Flower playing multiple positions and indeed flourishing in all except one. First Q FULL BACK playing on Malcom Blight. Reminded me of the Watts/Brown match up.

    • 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.

      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?
