I think I'll cry if they play Joel Macdonald as a defensive forward. I might cry if they play him regardless.

    Always liked the way Peter Giles went about it. Amazing comeback really.

    agree Steve... :)

    I'd think Dunn is the man to play defensive forward. He can do the defensive things and is a legitimate threat on the scoreboard. Play him on Hodge.

    i think the fd might try a full man on man effort this week and try to play with a bit of venom

    players tagged will be interesting and maybe some have spoken to mn and have asked for special roles to play

    at least we will get to see abit of fire from the team

    And this is based on what?,,,,a dream perhaps?....a hunch?

    "at least we will get to see abit of fire from the team"....why? ....what leads to this creative conclusion?

    Delusional.

    Did Terlich train? If so at what level?

    Terlich, Tom McDonald & Blease all trained flat out.

    At least you know what you're getting with Joel Mac, and that is 100% effort for 4 quarters. We could do a lot worse than playing him.

    This is going to sound completely nuts, but here goes...

    IN the bailey ear we played the saints at etihad and joel started as a defensive forward that day. We got some injuries and he had to go back )tappy i think). This was the day that bartrum kicked 40 meters sideways (and about 50 meters in height) slowly to another defender which led to a turnover and a goal against us just as we were pressing hard. I never forgave him for that.

    Anyway I thought Joel was really good - aggressive, tackled hard, hit bodies and worried defenders. Intimidation through intent, I also think that his wonky disposal hurts us less in the forward line and his commitment to contests is a greater asset there.

    I remember that game. He was marking everything, playing as a really good lead up forward.

    Just don't let him anywhere near the goals.

    Why not? I think we'd all appreciate the novelty.

    agreed. Joel McD gives 100% all the times. others could follow his example.

    He is probably [censored] off with Neeld for not making him captain

    Boys were training the house down. Cale Morton stopped by and said that the standards were way better than he was used to at West Coast, and that he'll be requesting a trade back to the Dees in October in the hope that he'll be able to crack the top 15 runners at the club. Rohan Bail hit every single target laces out; Gillies looked agile, quick and made great decisions; Sellar was nailing every shot from about 60m out against the breeze.

    Then I woke 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.

    • 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?
