Now that we have seen both Georgiou and King in action last Friday evening, does anybody who voted for Jetta want to reconsider their vote [or does anybody else want to add a vote]?

    As far as I am aware there is no rush at all.

    So surely we should just wait and see if / when / who is injured and tailor the promotion accordingly.

    Georgiou was great against Richmond and if he plays another good game against Geelong then I think there's a strong chance he'll be upgraded and line up in our round 1 side.

    Garland may not be right for round 1 either which only increases Georgiou's chances of playing round 1.

    Georgiou was good last Friday and he'll probably get the nod, but it would have been an eye opener for young King and he didn't disgrace himself. In fact I thought he looked quite composed when he got his hands on the footy.

    It will be interesting to see if our other rookies get a run over the rest of the preseason and how they go before making any judgements even if AG did look ok first up.

    King = nowhere near ready physically

    Harmes = promising, but absolutely inexperienced. Casey is his go.

    Jetta = a possibility, but has had plenty of opportunity without sealing a spot. Casey again.

    Georgiou = what he showed Friday he's been showing for two years in SANFL. Experience, maturity, decision making.

    This is a no-brainer.

    I thought Georgio was better than Strauss off half back.

    Really shut down his man. Strauss may be able to kick the ball but he is pretty ordinary one on one.

  • Quote

    Georgiou is no newbie kid. Hes an experienced grandfinalist in a premium competition.

    And he fills a need.

    To me he showed enough in one practice game to warrant a promotion.

    He really has put the heat on Dunn, Strauss & Clisby to perform.

    What he said.

  • Quote

    Dunn played well he is safe, not so sure with strauss or clisby when garland is right to go

    • 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.
