    How about the playing surface, size wise?

    I'm looking forward to the game but never has the same feel watching it on TV when the stadium is so small.

    Shame Dawes isn't playing, i have to say i'd be more confident if he was.

    Had a more detailed look at ground

    Surface looks magnificent

    They had Low key function with players and officials Jetta the pinup boy

    Was great to see a number of local indigenous people in official Melbourne outfits

    The facilities make the junction oval seem palatial

    The stand probably holds a few hundred at most and there are a small number of temporary stands holding tens of people

    Today Is hot 28 but dry heat

    Tomorrow meant to be cooler say 21

    Looking forward to it

    The whole town is quite excited about game

    Do virgin fly to Alice Springs?

    I'm guessing there are extenuating circumstances...

    Bingo. Even when players are going on overseas trips they are 'advised' to travel with the AFL's official sponsor.

    In this case, given no flights were applicable to destination at the time convenient to the Dees I'm guessing they flew QANTAS instead.

    Wish I was there instead of stuck at home looking after a grumpy husband who has the man flu. Saw the story on the news tonight and the setting looked amazing. It will be a fantastic experience for everyone there - hope we win as well. Maybe next year for me.

    Enjoy and go Dees.

    • 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.

      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.

    • 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?
